September 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 Basoon. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is “The journey not the arrival matters.”

The challenge is: Any thread that reaches 15 comments (collectively) will earn you two points.

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during October AC. Any threads from September or October can be used for this challenge. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!

New team points have been updated on the passenger roster and the shop is here!

Recipes are here. The ingredients for these recipes are in the store room as well as basics (flour, pasta, noddles, rice, milk, eggs etc).

This months chore assignments are:

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

The Train.

As the month ticks over into the month of Bassoon the train will stop to pick up new passengers. When everyone rejoins the train they will notice they have another new carriage.

Carriage E has been added. It is a double carriage with stairs going up on either side.

As you enter the lower floor you will see there are no seats in this carriage. There are two tables, low enough that people can sit on the floor around them and large enough to fit about eight people around. There are cushions scattered around and even a few beanbags to sit on. There are wooden chests around the walls as well as a couple of shelving units. The chests and the shelves are full of games. All the board-games and card games you can think of from chess to hungry hippos. There are silly games and serious tactical games. (As a note any game based on a canon that might exist on the train won’t be here but a similar-but-different game can be. Likewise any game with place names will be similar in style and play but the names will not be any that any passenger will recognise.) There are a disproportional amount of train-themed board games, obviously.

Upstairs there are no seats and the carriage is split into two halves. One half has some large games, twister, giant snakes and ladders, lawn jenga, massive connect four and more large silly games that need a bit of extra space. The ICP in this carriage has the rules for all the games.

The second half is separated by a rope barrier. This area has four virtual reality headsets, and a variety of controllers. There is an ICP where they can be set up to play one of four games.

Knight Quest: A game that can either be played on single adventure mode or with the other three headsets in a campaign mode. It is a typical fantasy rpg about a young hero who is searching for a magical item to save the world. The story is simple but fun and engaging. The hero has a sword and shield and fighting in this game requires some physical skill, but practice makes perfect!

Space Racer: A multiplayer game where you race your friends on spacecraft through crazy galaxy type obstacle courses. Throwing alien fish at each other is not only permitted but encouraged.

Star rise over Gulati: A very serious alien fighting game, you fight in a small fighter craft and have to protect a planet called Gulati. It is very difficult, you need very quick reaction times and small mistakes or misfires can lead to the planets demise or your own craft’s destruction. Try not to rage quit.

Crisis on... This game can be played with two to four players. It is essentially a crisis simulator mixed with an escape room. You can chose the scenario (the bridge of a space ship, a camp in a jungle, a high rise building, a sailing ship etc) and you are thrown into the middle of a crisis of some kind. Teamwork and a cool head are important as is using the surroundings wisely.

All this has been updated on the settings page.

Important Dates

This month event will be a world event running from the 13th- 26th September. An info and plotting post will go up on the 9th September.

Reserves will open 13th September and a test drive meme will go up the same day. Apps are between 20th and 27th September. AC will run 22nd to 29th September.

Other Information

One of the quiet coaches has been turned into Tony’s lab, it has a ‘keep out’ sign on it.

The dressing carriage is now full of spider webs and spider hammocks, it has a six foot high access corridor.

If your character does anything to the train that will effect the setting please let me know here so I can update the settings page!

Peter's definitely going to spend some time playing games. He did not realise video games was an option. He loves it.

He's also still actively working on webfluid 4.0. Other than that, not too much is planned and I'm open to plotting.

Character: Maedhros Fëanorian
About them: He is an over seven foot tall Elf with bright red hair, scars galore and he is missing his right hand. Maedhros has been through a lot of tragedy and he has experienced his own death. Hooray nightmares?

CR wanted: Give me the juiciest enemies, friends/family.
Things to avoid: Mae does commit suicide and he has suffered through torture, so if you want me to avoid those subjects, just let me know.

Name: XC
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] ultradude

Character: Ple Two
About them: From ZZ Gundam, an 11 year old child soldier. Serious, and using her training to hide some very deep issues, but she wants friends.
Plans: She's probably going to be better at chess than half the train bare minimum, and she needs something to occupy her mind. Drag her into other games too though.
CR wanted: The usual: people to draw her further out of her shell, other child soldiers to relate to.
Things to avoid: Nothing comes to mind.
pleple: (There you are)

Name: Coop
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] coopyey or on discord (nickname "Coop | Ash" in the server)

Character: Ash
About them: Merc machinist who likes lemons too much. She has bunny ears and is literally dead-ish inside. She's chill and friendly and willing to help do whatever.
Plans: Someone will have to introduce her to vidya gaymez but she'll take to Star Rise Over Gulati really well, she'd likely find Crisis On... relatively entertaining. Otherwise, there should be a poker night. Someone teach Ash how to play poker. And other card games. :D
CR wanted: Everything. I'd say enemies but she's so chill most of that's pretty one sided.
Things to avoid: I don't have anything.
kumoko: (metal gear solid alert noise)

[personal profile] kumoko 2019-08-31 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Can we do a big 'Red Team get together to work out the Basoon month recipes' log bc. I want it.


Also, sup, new elf! The spider will teleport away whenever you enter the same carriage as her, she's tired of getting shouted at and called a spawn of Ungoliant so it's just habit whenever she sees a tall guy now.
kumoko: (OOH BABY YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S WORTH)

[personal profile] kumoko 2019-08-31 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
More P2 and Kumoko hangouts please!!
pleple: (But it won't be long)

[personal profile] pleple 2019-08-31 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She still has no idea how to relate to a spider but spider is harmless.

Feed her more candy.
kumoko: (D E A T H)

[personal profile] kumoko 2019-08-31 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
They should play board games or VR together tbh.

Ple Two will take no prisoners.
kumoko: (it's obvious)

[personal profile] kumoko 2019-08-31 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Spider was an ace gamer before she was reincarnated so this is gonna be a rivalry of suitably epic proportions.

Name: Skyla
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] SkylaDoragono

Character: Luke Skywalker
About them: Star Wars AU, where the series golden boy that ran away from home and spent eight years of his life in the Imperial Academy. Timeline gets progressively wonkier from there.
Plans: The overall plan? Going to have a lot of fun with him trying very hard to pretend he's totally the Luke that certain teens seem to think he is and being horrible at it. Pretty sure he'll end up on Tony's watch list within an hour of arriving.

For the month... he's totally hitting up some of those flight and racing games, and welp. That certainly is cleaning duty. He grew up in a military academy. A good chunk of the people on his team are teens. This is going to go over well.
CR wanted: All of it. Gimme. But for real, I'm open to everyone and anything.
Things to avoid: NA

Character: We call her Little One ooc, she doesn't officially have one IC though she might answer to Buttercup depending on how mad at Tony she is on any given day.
About them: Small shadow god serving assassin brat. Is very unsure about everyone and everything on this train but some people have made her cake so that's alright.
Plans: She's on hiatus for the first week of September so will miss the intro but then I want all the new people cr and she also will be dealing with the fact she just disappeared.
CR wanted: All of it. Kid cr is great but more adults to despair of her and also all the less that good people, that would be awesome too.
Things to avoid: Nothing on my part. I am aware her dialect can be annoying. Please tell me if you need me to drop it.

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-08-31 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Romeo
About them: From Romeo's Blue Skies and then a CRAU from the Far Shore. Romeo is also an eleven year old child. He's from the alps, sold himself as a chimney sweep and went to Milan, joined a group of chimney sweeps, made a best friend, infiltrated a royal banquet... Then he died and went to heaven forgetting everything about his life before and becoming a weapon for a god.
Plans: Just everything! He will be sad to be without his goddess but wants to be everyone's friends. His CRAUness means he knows what board canes and video games are so expect enthusiasm!

In fact just with everything he does, expect enthusiasm.
CR wanted: All of it.
Things to avoid: Nothing here

Name: Tea/ChaiTea
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] chaiteacup or on discord

Character: Arataka Reigen
About them: Fake psychic who's managed to keep up the act through quick thinking and sheer dumb luck. He's a pain in the ass, but he's surprisingly moral compared to most con men.
Plans: He's going to be avoiding potential mental crisis over being stuck on a train by...doing laundry, why not. He likely will be convinced this is some psychic illusion, might do some investigating.
CR wanted: All of it. Any ridiculous shenanigans are welcome to put this ratman into. I'm also up for genuine relationship building, Reigen needs friends.
Things to avoid: I'd prefer to steer clear of vomit and drug addiction, otherwise we good.

The murderchildren need to meet. Asap.
happyends: (to walk into the void again)

[personal profile] happyends 2019-08-31 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
i love the idea of ple two and madoka somehow getting into a chess match. maybe madoka cheerfully suggesting they should play a game together for fun except they end up playing chess and madoka doesn't understand anything and just sweats nervously staring at the board.
happyends: (light that is found)

[personal profile] happyends 2019-08-31 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
madoka can totally help teach card games! not poker though, because she's a child and can't control her facial expression even if she tried.. but she could teach her old maid or something like that.
