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: Avie
Contact info: (Pacific Time) [personal profile] aviekokyre, [plurk.com profile] aviekokyre, Discord: aviekokyre#3411

Character: Thanatos
About them: From Hades, Red Team, Death Incarnate who is a nice guy (but also tsundere) but is still learning how to be his own person instead of just his job as God of Death. He arrived last platform and has had a hell of a time trying to adjust. In the span of two weeks, he's had his worldview and identity turned upside-down so many ways. He also carries around sometimes talks to a plush mouse which squeaks on his own. Mort is the best emotional support guard mouse. He's attempting to act less like a god and more like... he's still figuring that out.

Plans: He's got his original outfit back, so he'll be wearing that around the train now. Zagreus is arriving which is going to cause a minor mental break number 4, dear gods... once he figures out they are from different times/dimensions.
CR wanted: More friends, more people who continue to push him to be more himself than Death, people to teach him things, people who know of Greek mythologies or whatever, someone to teach the train the word "tsundere", people to recognize that he's a disaster demi because he sure doesn't understand his own feelings
Things to avoid: can't think of anything atm

Than also has a permissions post for characters who have connections to death (though more for potential thread ideas as Than has given up trying to understand how this train has messed with his senses) and also for Hades game spoilers if that's something you're worried about.

I desperately need Jack to mention Helios and the other Greek named stuff in Borderlands just to confuse the hell out of Than.

Yes, you do because confusing Than is fun
thawed_pride: (Nort-How amusing.)

Fellow disaster demi here who has already figured himself out, fully willing to give advice to a more confused disaster demi.

I feel like the entire train is going to figure it out before Than does
dyingpro: Laughing (They've come and gone and passed me by)

Oh good he's got the nips back out-- I mean hello there friend. Hopefully Zagreus doesn't cause him that much mental anguish though! 8< Than deserves happy things.

Than does deserve happy things, but don't hate him if he gives Zag sad wistful looks for a bit. We'll have to see how the revelation shakes out.

As much as I joke about it, Zag's always allowed in the quiet booth when Than's in there.
dyingpro: Grinning (No burdens; no further debts to be paid)

[personal profile] dyingpro 2021-02-02 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
THAN DESERVES ALL THE GOOD THINGS

And Zag would love to! Assuming he's wanted, that is. Sitting with Than is nice sometimes.

He and Otoha should have... an actual conversation, it's just that neither of them do small talk well. xD

They really need to because they have so many similarities in how they view themselves and now have Important Person with them as well.

It's just... the talking thing.

Though, I think Thanatos would apologize to Otoha because yeah he didn't think he'd react like that

In fairness he thought souls didn't exist a month ago so suddenly getting grabbed by it was Distressing.

Also just touch in general.

Otoha would apologize for swinging at him but t's hard to get him to say the words 'I'm sorry'.

He's used to shades taking swings at him or cursing him or a number of things. It's fine
