February 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 train event on the 12th & 13th of February. (A plotting post will go up on the 7th.)

The TDM will be posted on the 16th. Reserves will open on the 18th. Apps are between the 20th and the 27th. AC will run from the 20th to the 27th of February.

Train Updates

The shop has grown once again to add medium animals. Animals that fit into this category are anything bigger than a miniature kitten and smaller than a large dog breed. As a rule of thumb: if it could be ridden into battle it's too large!!

A further update to the shop. Hammerspace items can now only be bought by those from the world they exist in; they can buy them as gifts for others if they wish, much like with animals from specific worlds. This has been reflected on the new Item comment here. (I realise the comment is visibly a little awkward on the shop page since there are replies to the old comment still but that will be fixed once shop purchases have been processed!)

A reminder that in general with specific items from worlds that are not your character's own, please make sure your character has learned about them either in a thread or, if handwaved, that you have chatted with a player from that world. This is as much to make sure everyone knows how the items work as anything else. Any questions, come chat to us!

Other Info

~ A huge thank you to Ree, Nat and Ace for their stellar work as NPC handlers this mission! If anyone wishes to volunteer to be an NPC handler on missions please go here for all the information and sign ups.

Monthly Plotting

Feel free to use this post to plot anything you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use:

Name: Kia
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] kiaxet or Kiaxet#7805

Character: Siebren de Kuiper (Sigma)
About them: Cabin 5A, orange team, from Overwatch. A brilliant astrophysicist who experienced a lab accident that gave him gravity powers and shattered his sanity. He's generally kind and interested in others' work, and he's doing his absolute best not to let anyone know about his mental health issues. He's a shield tank, so he's absolutely the protective type.
Plans: Siebren is going to do some work with his powers for the first time pretty much ever - he's realized he can't divide his focus while using his powers, and that needs to change. Also, there is Science to be done! ...including helping set up a lab space, most likely.
CR wanted: Everything! He needs fighty people to help him with powers training, and I'd love for his closer CR to start figuring out what's up with him. Unlock that tragic backstory, y'all. Regardless, I'm up for just about anything.
Things to avoid: OOCly, I don't need any warnings - just don't link me pictures of spiders. In terms of Siebren, if the thread starts getting into rough territory, I might ask for a change - I like exploring Siebren's issues, but I don't want to break him.

Character: Ryo
About them: Cabin 4B, orange team, OC from a fantasy/magic-heavy world! 16-year-old healer who has a weird contradiction of really liking people and also being terrified they'll hate him for absolutely no reason. (His world took a perfectly good healer and gave him a tragic backstory and now he has anxiety.) He's still working on coming out of his shell, but he's got a ways to go. The exception here is, if he meets someone in pain or needing help, he goes into healer mode and that's all confidence and authority. He knows what he's doing and he wants to help. Basically, he's a little ball of compassion and anxiety. Please be his friend.
Plans: He's working on getting to know people and come out of his shell. He needs to learn more about this modern technology stuff, and he's always interested in picking up new skills. Also, nobody has unlocked the tragic backstory yet, so that's an option!
CR wanted: Everything! Adopt him! Be his friend! Bully him! Just a warning: if he starts out with negative CR with someone, the odds of it becoming positive later are pretty slim. Kid holds a grudge.
Things to avoid: None!
Notes: Please fill out his permissions post! Ryo's Sense allows him to pick up on life energy and a few details, and having that information helps me out quite a bit.

Seto is still open to supplementing Ryo's learning...and of course he supports Siebren in everything.

Ryo has a lot he needs to learn about tech - he still has no idea what the cinema car is for, lbr - and really wants to learn, especially since Orange is generally the tech team.

Siebren says thank you ;~;

Little ball of compassion and anxiety sounds like Vexen's oldest son...adoption chances are high.

Also, one of Vexen's ex-colleagues that he has very complicated feelings toward also has space powers, so Siebren might get called Xigbar by accident if he uses those powers in a way that annoys/inconveniences Vexen.

[personal profile] namethattune 2021-02-01 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Please adopt! Ryo needs more parent figures.

For what it's worth, Siebren tends to be pretty conscientious about his powers, so hopefully he won't set Vexen off too badly.
thawed_pride: (Nort-Now you listen here!)

[personal profile] thawed_pride 2021-02-01 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Dadding is in his nature, even if he'd be hesitant to admit it. He especially likes kids that are eager to learn.

Even if he does, it'll be exasperation more than actual anger or distress. Xigbar was that one member of your found family that drives you up a wall, yet you love anyway.

just slides in with a new cabinmate--yes I've got nothing past that Wei Wuxian says hello! tell him about your time here Siebren, he's fascinated and also overwhelmed plus how does the bathroom work

he could in theory help with fighting as long as it's just using normal human abilities; he's just not a help if it comes to superhuman things unless we're uh. trying to use resentful energies b/c sometimes you're a necromancer and Things Be Wild
