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: Persephone
About them: Lore Olympus is that good good modern take on classic myth thing so it includes Fatesbook, butt dials and interoffice romance. Perse is the goddess of spring and your typical duality goddess: Sweetheart on the outside, snark on the inside, temper way down inside. Still hasn't heard her myth so assumes she's a nobody goddess forever! IT happens! Not everyone is important!! (But gosh she wants to be) Does the flowers and the plants. Greenhouse is her unofficial domain, thwarted in her hopes to expand it up OR out.
Plans: Nothing specific, I'm trying to claw my way back into the game tbh. I would like her to work on controlling her powers bc she wants trees and doesn't trust her powers to go all haywire on her and grow things real big. It's a problem. She wants apricots.
CR wanted: I'm sort of starved for close CR but I know you can't just make that happen right away. It's a process! So I'm here for the new, the strange, the weird.
Things to avoid: The usual! I'm fine with knowing she's a goddess, mentioning her myth/status, greek myths, etc. I just ask you don't refer to it by that name. You know the name. It'd be a real big trigger IC.

I know about what not to mention (which is easy because that myth doesn't exist in Hades given things) and that she's fine (but confused) about being referenced as a queen, but how should I deal with the matter of his version of Persephone and Hades having a son? Any pref? Than's smart enough to know when certain details need to remain vague, so I can work it either way.

I don't mind the mention. We had talk of a Zagreus for a while and I don't mind her knowing about it. It'll definitely throw her for a loop but I don't mind shaking up her world view a bit.

(and tbh he likes apricots too, he'd be down to help!)

Also she's thrilled he's growing useful but pretty plants. Love a good combo.

The little critter has similar flower-spawning powers that might...need to be controlled too.
no subject
Will a firm but kind talking to help? No? Probably not? She can still try
no subject
He also has the r-word in his backstory, so that might be something to work towards? I know how much trouble she's having processing what Apollo did to her ;_; And Dev's going to have to start working through that what was done to him was that as well...
no subject
I cannot promise she'll ever feel comfortable taking about it (without external forces pressuring it yknow) but I'm certainly willing to work on some cr to getting there someday.
no subject
I absolutely understand. I didn't expect it to come up in Devero's case NEARLY as soon as it did, but he just ended up with really great CR that drew it out of him. But if it doesn't go that way with Perse, so it be.
