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

About them: Senku is from the anime/manga Dr. STONE. He has a great many roles, but most notably he is a huge walking encyclopedia for scientific knowledge in the realms of any and all hard sciences as he's been studying them since he was a small child. At home he's chief of his village, a general for the Kingdom of Science, the only doctor/surgeon and in charge of the Science Team/Spartan Crafting Club.
Since boarding the train, Senku has found himself in the kitchen a lot more than he thought he would, applying his food chemistry knowledge to good use. At stops he's constantly foraging while doing other chores and always has at least one project in the works. He's socially awkward and cannot do small talk to save his life, but he is all up in those science facts - at least until he gets to know you.
Thanks to the events of December, he's a member of the Science Team on board, as well as the White Team, as a doctor, despite the fact he has not learned any healing magic.
Plans: This month, through pure happenstance and good timing - It is Senku's birthday! He is turning 3739, or 20 if you want to know how old he is physically. Gen is planning him a party.
He will be making chocolate and cocoa powder with the beans he picked up on the last mission. Yes, that is one of the ingredients this time, but if Senku doesn't make his, presumably after this month the ingredients will be gone otherwise.
He is finishing up the bearskin blankets for his friends, and can be caught sewing quite a bit more often than one would think. He has extra materials, it's quite possible he'll make the offer open for requests to keep himself busy.
Presumably getting off the train, he'll be taking it upon himself to organize foraging, just like he volunteered at the big meeting.
CR wanted: Anything and everything, give it all to me. He's got a lot going on, lots of opportunities there, he's also a semi-social person these days. He does not read social cues well, despite his best efforts.
Things to avoid: Not with me, but to stay in Senku's good graces, it is wise not to grab, embrace or touch him. Most people can get away with something of a tug to the hand/wrist/forearm that surprises him, but crowding him or touching him is a huge no go for him. It's the fastest way to negative CR.

He can definitely help, he's a survivalist expert, he knows how to cook.

Honestly, I'd love for Ryo to fall in with Senku. He needs help coming out of his shell, and someone around his age who doesn't have two fucks to rub together about social niceties would be absolutely amazing. Plus, Ryo is a healer and good with his hands - he'd make a good Senku employee. |Db
no subject
It's not hard to fall in with Senku, especially if someone's interested in his pet projects. He appreciates bluntness if Ryo is one to dish that out, he does not mind at all.
He accepts any and all help :D
no subject
Ryo is capable of bluntness but not quite there yet, and he'd probably need to be encouraged/roped in to start, but he is in!
no subject
Senku has protagonist syndrome, I'm sorry.Oh he can so do that. How else do you think he gets so many people to work for him all the time >D
no subject
Yessss I look forward to it!

About them: Demyx is from the end of Kingdom Hearts III, when he was running around doing things for Ienzo and the Light Side. Demyx is in a precarious position, as he's technically working both sides of the battle, and he's not to sure who his allies are. His castmates make him nervous that he's going to be in trouble one way or another.
He arrived on the train in December and has been adopted by Della. He's openly deceiving people. His chosen occupation is 'musician'. When he's alone, he can be caught looking very serious, like he's lost in thought.
Plans: He's still very new and hasn't been up to much yet. He's seen the music car - loves that, and this month he'll definitely check out the spa. I'm also planning on having him have a jam session with Dyme.
CR wanted: Anything and everything! I'm looking forward to having him meet new people and work at making friends. He had a blast at the winter carnival.
Things to avoid: I'm good with anything here, and so is Demyx. He has no idea if anything would upset him, but he doesn't think so.
no subject
About them: Natsuno is from the anime Shiki. He always tells people his name is Yuuki, but as his name on the roster is Natsuno Koide, well there's not much getting around that, that's unfortunately, his legal name. He's from a modern-ish world, being that Shiki takes place in 1993, some things are still novel to him. He was an ordinary high school student until vampires moved to town and began killing people. The first to notice what was going on, he was also the first hunter and so he needed to die. He came back as a jinrou a subspecies of vampire, with admittedly, less weaknesses.
He's been grumpy and miserable his whole life and he's absolutely appalled to be on this train. He has made two friends, but mostly just skulks about, watching horror films in the cinema car.
Plans: None really, but I need to get him out there. He definitely did the least of mine in December, and I need to rectify that.
CR wanted: I will take anything. In November, he was called out as being a moody teenager. That's so true.
Things to avoid: Not for me, but as a content warning, aside from all the death in Shiki, he ended it by killing himself and taking someone with him.
no subject
About them: Yoite is from the manga Nabari no Ou. He's a 16-year old ninja who's initially an assassin but he gave that up to protect his one and only friend in the end. He uses a forbidden technique called 'Kira' to use his qi to destroy others while destroying himself.
He has met new people on the train, and had a horrible time on the last mission. He's settling in okay.
It should be noted that Yoite is deaf. His vision is not perfect and although it hasn't happened yet, sometimes he goes completely blind as well. He has no sense of taste, and his sense of touch is patchy where all the qi burns are on his body. He's also a walking content warning for child abuse.
Plans: I don't have much going on with him this month. He's had two people explain to him how gender is a spectrum and so he's working through that. Yoite is intersex and canonically uncomfortable with both male and female designations, never actually deciding on what it is he is, or he likes to be called. He is presumed male by most people and so he rolls with that. He's considering a 'they' pronoun, but is still undecided.
CR wanted: I would like Yoite to have some experiences and come out of his shell. He's still opting to sit around and be out of people's way and that's not going to do at all.
Things to avoid: I'm fine with anything. As I said, questions about his past all lead down a road to child abuse, as he hasn't known anything else, really.
