January 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 Jelly. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is “No-one is useless in these worlds who lightens the burdens of another.”
This means: Tagging into other characters’ top levels or posts will earn you two bonus points during January and February.
Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during February AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC! As a note: Though there is no thread length minimum we will be keeping an eye on thread lengths to make sure that people are committing to the threads they tag into.
The ingredient of the month is avocado. Recipes are here. 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 kitchen and bathrooms
Purple: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Red: Meal Preparation
Orange: Laundry
Important Dates
This month’s event will be a world event on the 11th of January. (An info and plotting post will go up on Thursday the 7th)
The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th. AC will run from the 23rd to the 31st of January.
Other Info
~ On missions and other events we often have the opportunity to interact with NPCs to gather some extra information, learn more about the world and generally make connections with the people who inhabit the world the Voidtreckers are currently helping. In order to help expand how many people who can interact with NPCs and free up some mod time during missions we are inviting players to volunteer as NPC controllers. For more information and to sign up if you wish please go here!
~ Secondly, we are going to put up a document for assumed behaviours and actions in missions. This means, in broad strokes, what characters can expect to be happening before, during and after missions that doesn’t need to be written out every time and can be assumed to be happening even if players (i.e of healer characters or team leads) are busy. The general structure of a mission. Do teams have meetings? Covering what, generally? Are characters asked to take certain supplies or stay in groups? Are medically trained characters manning the triage and medical carriages? How about when the train isn’t on-world? What items and supplies are in general use?
This post will not be to record your individual characters’ actions during missions, but to establish what preparations are occurring and general ‘recurring actions’, so that character efforts will not go unnoticed during missions. A post for putting together this documentwill go up later today and be overseen by Elle!mod is now up, here!.
~ A quick reminder about the network on the train. The ICP system is a simple one, with the ability for characters to use voice or video to talk to other on the train. It’s a fancy tannoy system with no way for posts to be saved to be looked at or responded to later. It has no ability to be filtered to one person- the most privacy that can be found is through sending the message to one carriage or one cabin. If you want to limit who can hear/see your post please use [From: X CARRIAGE. TO: Y CARRIAGE]. This means that things discussed on the ICP openly are likely to be overheard by other characters. It also means other people can join in your conversations though, as ever you should take care to ask everyone involved in a thread before threadjacking to make sure it is alright! More information about the ICP’s can be found here
There is the ability to use the SCA’s to speak to ‘All’, to your ‘team’ and to individuals. This function is only available on missions. For more information on the SCA please go here

Contact info:
Character: Seto Kaiba (Orange)
About them: From Yu-Gi-Oh. Intense gamer, dragon admirer, tech visionary, and perpetual second-placer.
Plans: Last month's events have sent him on a journey of trying to find a purpose (because he's not happy just living, geez what a weirdo). The first thing he's trying is going back to video game design: he'll be making some purchases for new equipment to supplement the available VR games with his own, and supporting Yugi in designing a new one. If there are any other devs, they're welcome to join.
He also might aggressively hit the gym/let fight club take a few swings at him, because he needs to get better at self defense.
CR wanted: More friends and rivals? He's...awkward and retreated into his shell a little, but he's still learning how to people!
Things to avoid: I'm fine with everything.
---
Character: Mami Tomoe (Purple)(
About them: From Puella Magi Madoka Magica. A powerful but lonely magical girl, she's also a supreme chef and professional worrywart.
Plans: She'll be helping prepare the new food items Senku brought, continuing to learn relaxation techniques to teach, and primarily doing healing duty on the upcoming mission. She's learned she can't be spending her mana on combat when the injuries pile up. Her main duty is to keep everyone safe, and she wants to be better at it!
CR wanted: I'm hoping to dive a little deeper with her, to have her eventually realize that it's okay to have problems, or not be perfect or have all the answers....just do her best, and it'll be okay.
Things to avoid: Nothing of note!

Mami I'm sorry about this constantly-injured moron.

And it's okay, she's going to do her best to help!

Seto is learning throwing knives, right? Because Ryo does that, and I'd love for them to run into each other in the training gym and have a "same hat" moment.
Also, I'd love for Ryo to meet Mami! Healers need to stick together, and he'd be fascinated by the whole learning massage thing.

(And Seto needs help, he's just having trouble admitting it.)
And Siebren is of course the best, as always. <3

And he has some parts, so he'll see what they can build!
