December Information and CR Meme!

 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.

Monthly Plotting
Feel free to use this post to plot anything you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use!

hotheadwarmheart: (Sunset together)

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2020-12-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Susan or Tanks (I'll answer to either)
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] tanks4thememory

Character: Lea
About them: The most hotheaded member of the Guardians of Light from Kingdom Hearts. He can kick butt with the best of them but tends to privately feel that he's less than successful in his desire to help and protect his friends. Also he's not so secretly a soft boi, which manages to shine through despite all his attempts to seem cool. Has had some CRAU adventures from Diatu, which he shares with his fellow passenger, roommate, and best friend Xion.
Plans: A few things. He's gonna request a care of more bathroom/shower facilities and mention it on the network in hopes of other people backing him up. He'll also be attempting to make his own sea salt ice cream in one of the on board ice cream makes and put it into a conveniently portable form as a surprise for Xion. Otherwise, he'll just be dealing with train life as it comes.
CR wanted: Anything really, but especially friendship. his universe basically runs on the power of friendship, and Lea enjoys hanging out with, fighting beside, and generally supporting his friends, particularly those who need some of his big brother energy.
Things to avoid: Not much really? Extreme gore/violence isn't really my thing, but if you're curious/have concerns about something specific, just ask. I don't bite, honest!

... Nita may specifically mention shower designs for non-human species, both because of Mimi and because of S'reee.

Beyond that: more investigation into the history of the Voidtrecker Express, maybe?

Having a non-humanoid accommodating shower is an excellent idea, yes.

And investigation sounds good too, particularly after the meeting.

May ultimately lead to them talking to the train again/assuring them that they want to be able to help more directly???

Who knows! \o/

Unless Nita can assist somehow, Lea can't do the fancy telepathy variety of talking to the train, but he has written it several more 'pen pal' letters since his first one. He would be glad to help more directly if he could.

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-12-02 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Nita might be able to do an assist?

Or he can just talk to the train normally while Nita monitors. xD The train listens even when people aren't putting magic into it, at least!

OK, Lea in my head just went 'you do know that's a bit creepy, right?' re; the last point. XD So if we do go the latter route, expect Lea to suggest not spreading that particular fact around too much. X3

But an assist would also be cool too! And an interesting new experience for Lea.

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-12-05 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, she's not. XD

(But then, Nautilus did that sort of thing too - but then, all those Accidental Videos made it a little more obvious. /thinking)

Either way, Lea would appreciate having some idea of what response he's getting in real time, whether directly, or via Nita 'translating'. Using the feedback thingy he just gets the standard message, which doesn't really tell him anything. X3
