December Information and CR Meme!

[voidtreckermods]

 We hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is the month of Imagination. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is: "We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are."

This means: Any thread that reaches 15 comments (total) will earn you two points.

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during December AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!

Recipes are here. The ingredient of the month is Honey. All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.

This month’s chore assignments are:

Blue: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Purple: Meal Preparation
Red: Laundry
Orange: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms

The Train

When characters regroup on the train after the platform they will find a new carriage at the end of the train, beyond the luggage carriage.

Triage

This carriage is a double carriage. At the back of the car is a staircase, but at the front there's a lift connecting the two floors. Both floors have a corridor running down the left hand side.

The bottom floor is one large carriage, though there are curved curtain rails on the ceiling so that thick, grey curtains can be pulled around areas to cut them off. There are four medical beds that can be wheeled around or locked in place, and a handful of chairs. There are cupboards with medical equipment, primarily for first aid.

Upstairs there are two surgical bays. Though the equipment is basic, it is enough that wounds can be sewn and minor procedures undertaken. The ICP in this room has instructions for more complicated medical procedures but also carries warnings that advanced medical training is advised and surgery should only be carried out by senior medics.

This has been updated on the setting. Remember to let me know if your character does anything to alter the setting!

Important Dates

This month there will be two mini events! One on the 12th December which will be a little more meta-plot orientated and one on 20th which will be seasonal festive fun!

There is also a player-ran train meeting going up on the 5th December. As a reminder we have a player plot calendar for any large train-wide things anyone wishes to organise!

The TDM will be posted on the 16th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and 29th. AC will run from the 23rd to the 30th of December.

Other Info

~ The mod team would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Ree (Player of Tidus) for her tremendous help during the boss battle! Team two have her to thank for that epic fight.

~ Talking of that fight and the mission: if any characters died please report their deaths here.

~ We have compiled the story so far for those interested in the slowly unfolding meta-plot!

~ AC this month will be check-in only. As long as you check in on the AC post when it goes up you will pass AC and get the 5 points for doing so. There will still be the opportunity to claim bonus challenge AC. If you are holding a strike from November you will have the option to either clear it in December or take the free check in and carry your strike over into January.

Yoite

[comefadeaway]

Character: Yoite

About them: Yoite is from Nabari no Ou. He's a ninja, one with a forbidden technique that's rapidly killing him as he uses it. He will not die from it here, but it will temporarily mess him up. Most notably, he's almost completely deaf. His vision is still okay, if a bit blurry, except when it randomly stops working on him and he's completely blind (has not happened yet in the game).

Plans: Yoite got his ass kicked last mission. He's not in a very good mood. He feels like he's completely useless. He will be trying to stay out of people's way, hiding in corners, that kind of thing.

CR wanted: Yoite could use more friends and kindness.

Things to avoid: As always, I'm good OOCly pretty much with anything. Yoite's entire life has pretty much been suffering and abuse, so getting personal with him could lead uncomfortable topics.

[subcircuits]

This may not come up any time immediately, or at all, but I do want to put it out there that Dev is fluent in his world's sign language and always willing to teach someone something he knows if it will benefit them.

[comefadeaway]

Yoite should absolutely learn. I know Jelle has said Madoka would be interested in learning with him. He is getting by lip reading at the moment so a lot of characters are not yet aware that he can't actually hear them. He's been a bit wary of admitting that, but I imagine soon enough that will come out.

[subcircuits]

Dev talks to himself in sign a lot, so we could probably arrange for it to come up via an encounter when he's chattering away with his hands if it doesn't come out some other way first. If you liked, of course!

[comefadeaway]

Yes, definitely, he might be curious as to what Dev is doing. (He doesn't get out much)

[subcircuits]

To be fair, I expect even people who do get out much to be curious as to what Dev is doing on a regular basis, especially while he's still new to the train.

[comefadeaway]

Pffffft. Point. I don't really know anything about him, but I'm sure it will be interesting!

[subcircuits]

Let's just say he's used to a LOT more technological convenience than the train offers XD

[comefadeaway]

But how much does he like to talk tech, because if it's a lot Senku would be very interested in talking to him.

[subcircuits]

He is kind of a power armor test pilot where he comes from, plus (untrained) assistant to the group's chief engineer.

And a cyborg. (Not a very interesting one, though.)

So, in short, a lot!

[10billionpercent]

Hi Dev, Senku would like very much to meet you and discuss all of these things.

His world may be technologically behind now but it didn't used to be and he's just the kind of guy who loves all kinds of cool tech, wanted to be an astronaut in a rocket he built himself, and thinks mechs are really cool.

He just found out Quatre has his own mech and he was like oh my god can I see it if you get it back?

[subcircuits]

Y e s please! I love getting to babble about my worldbuild so getting to do so IC would be /chef's kiss

If there's anyway Dev can get his suit Babysitter back, he will be pursuing it actively. Papa needs his power armor!

[10billionpercent]

Excellent. Expect to require details, he is a scientist after all, he needs those sweet sweet details.

He can tell you all about how to speedrun Civilization in real life. It's interesting, I promise!

[subcircuits]

Sounds like fun to me!

Re: Yoite

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel would like to build positive CR with him, please. Bonus: Glorfindel has an aura that helps heal, both physically and spiritually (though as worlds differ, I let the other player determine how much their character gets out of it).

Would he be interested in learning archery?

[comefadeaway]

He certainly can.

I'll have to think about it on the healing thing. The way it works in his world is that it's not something that can be fixed through medical intervention because of how it is exactly he's damaging himself. I've been thinking about it because there are other qi users on board that do do healing, and while he can't heal himself, there might be some kind of potential there.

He would probably enjoy getting to learn a new skill. He's not very mentally stimulated most of the time, so he probably wouldn't turn down the offer, and the less he uses of his powers, the better.

[only_one_wei]

Just let me know. Glorfindel's working on his own qi utilization (flying and healing), so if you decide to go for it, he's there for you :)

Archery is a good skill to learn because it is a RANGED weapon, which is why Glorfindel will suggest it ;)

Re: Yoite

[unfavorableinstigation]

Definitely interested in continuing his CR with Alfredo, both the learning-sign-language thing mentioned above (if Alfredo hears about it/learns more, he WILL be interested, it just has to come up first), and in possible training scenarios.

[comefadeaway]

Awesome. He has his own training regimen of sorts planned at some point, but the sign language could definitely be a thing. Honestly it would probably help him a lot more than he could conceive it would.
