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

Character: Prisoner (Red Team)
About them: He's from the game Dead Cells. I pulled him before he learns the truth of the whole situation so he's just very "swiggity swoogity the world's gone to shit." He's got a very relaxed fuck everything kind of attitude because things are so far from okay what are you supposed to do? He has like 0 reverence for the dead and seem to have the brain cells to put together the story of what happened on the island from minimal clues.
If you want a sparring partner this guy's your guy, especially if you like fighting against a man who can turn literally anything into an improvised weapon. Outside of that please say hello to the resident corpse with fire for a head. Yes the fire is hot. Don't touch it.
He's been on the train before so he knows sign language, but he will fall back to charades and, ultimately, writing in his journal if needed. Yes it was suggested he get a text to speech thing, I guarantee you don't want that to happen.
Plans: WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS *batman voice* WHERE ARE THEY -- readjusting to train life, mostly, despite him not leaving as far as he is aware. So, more like adjusting to all of the new people that are suddenly here.
CR wanted: errything plz
Things to avoid: I got nothin'
Note: His icons are comprised of the emotions he shows in the animated trailers, but he doesn't actually have an eye. The fireball comes to a swirl around (for lack of a better term) a crystal, such as here or here, though the brightness depends on the color of the fire. Sometimes the fire will turn black and grow low and the crystal is a bit more apparent. The icons are just a short hand way for me to describe the emotion his body language is giving off. Feel free to misinterpret his body language and his charades as freely as you want because I started playing him with the intention of interactions being relatively comedic.

With all of Prisoner's communication outside of his writing I let you determine how you want to interpret what Prisoner says! So like if you wanted where the sign languages were close but a few key words were vastly different and there's a miscommunication because of it? Heck yeah! If you feel the sign languages are entirely different and there's no basis of communication? I dig it!
Some of my favorite threads with Prisoner have been due to some dumb miscommunication so I really love finding someone who's down to play that angle so feel free to go wild with whatever sounds the most fun to ya :D
