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:

sciencegirl: (Default)

Name: Binky
Contact info: PM or Disc crotchetyneanderthal#4935

Character: Entrapta
About them: Orange Team. A Princess from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She's a non-elemental Princess, meaning she doesn't control any force of nature. Also she has no Runestone to channel so her magic is just in her hair/what she's inherently born with.

-Nerd
-Likes to build things
-Has a crush on a grumpy alien clone
-Not always great at socializing and reading others

Plans: She's currently building a chores bot and wants to build a combat robot. She also Wants to further investigate how people leave the train so that maybe one day people who are dead or in trouble could pick somewhere else to go.
CR wanted: Whatever she comes across.
Things to avoid: While a little bit of negative CR is okay she'll probably just avoid someone who obviously doesn't like her. I say 'obviously' because it might take her a moment to catch on, but when she realizes it she'll give them space.
namethattune: (But it's a good refrain)

Entrapta is part of the science crew, as far as Siebren is concerned. He's been tasked with converting drone/robot weaponry for human use, and he will absolutely loop her in on the project if you want. :Db

Also he just likes her as a person. She's pretty cool.
sciencegirl: (092)

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-02-01 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes plz lets build drones and robots and a lot of fun things! She likes him too. He put up with her being weird and insecure and worst of all, unproductive.
thawed_pride: (Nort-You're about to learn a valuable le)

[personal profile] thawed_pride 2021-02-01 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Want some robot building help from a guy whose old work computer was run by self-aware AI? Or just to nerd out with another scientist who's used to working with magic.

Also, as a tsundere dad who feels terrible about having failed his children, I suspect he and Yondu will have a surprising amount in common.
sciencegirl: (084)

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-02-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Someone who works with tech and magic will be super handy to have around so she doesn't sound like a complete wierdo. She's still fascinated by sorcery, too, but robutts are her jam.

Yeah, Yondu's gonna have to go through a whole phase of acceptance or something, since he only really fully owned up to it in the last half-hour of his life.
thawed_pride: (Nort-Why am I still here?)

[personal profile] thawed_pride 2021-02-01 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
He thinks the weird thing is when people act like science and magic are mutually exclusive. Magitech is just a part of everyday life on his homeworld.

Yeah, Vexen knows how that is...his oldest child was actually supposed to be his mentor's responsibility, so he's familiar with that moment where you go 'wait, am I this kid's dad??'

I DEMAND MORE FEELINGS

AS IN MAKE JACK FEEL THEM MORE
sciencegirl: (112)

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-02-01 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes please! She wants Jack to know that not only is he awesome and smart but he's also more than just a copy of another guy.

Also she might tell him more about the sexy bat guy she knows, even if she's not fully grasped the "Oh yeah I find him hot," parts yet because she's an awkward nerd.
yondu: (1 4 2)

[personal profile] yondu 2021-01-31 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Yondu Udonta
About them: Blue Team. Same rundown as before. He's a space pirate with a fleet that follows a minimalistic code (that he broke so he's an exile, but otherwise he still follows it and sees himself as a member. Just accepted that he fucked up at raising a son, rather than just took care of some random ass kid.

-Former slave
-Pretty much lost all of his friends and killed the rest of his crew as traitors
-Self-sacrificed
-Covered in scars
-Has the tall fin on his head
-Likes to fuck around with biased humans (might tell them he'll eat them)

Plans: No plans. He's going to try and hide what his arrow is until he has a chance to use it, but he'll keep it on him at all times.
CR wanted: Same stuff as on the intro. He just needs friends. Making enemies will probably be easy, but making friends will be harder.
Things to avoid: I'm going to do what I can to keep him from feeling helpless 'cause that causes him to shut down and he's very difficult to play after that.
