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:

Koumyou Sanzo | Saiyuki

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2021-01-31 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Koumyou Sanzo (BLUE TEAM)
About them: From Saiyuki, a Buddhist high priest whose last memory on his world is his own death to save his adopted son's life. He's a total troll, and loves to act the fool. "I can't tell if you're a genius or a moron" is something that's been said to him more than a few times in canon. You can get more info about him on his journal, including his app!
Plans: Nothing really specific. He's going to be doing stuff with Devero to try to get him used to the sutra. Maaaaaybe he'll start teaching Devero magic? MAaaaaaaaAAAAaaaaybe? But neither of those are super useful for other CR, so. Uh. Please help me plan shit involving your characters!
CR wanted: All of it! Please hit me up so we can plan shit.
Things to avoid: I can't think of anything, but I'm not shy about speaking up before something's a problem if that changes!

Alleyana Tabris | Dragon Age

[personal profile] inquisitor_lavellan 2021-01-31 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Alleyana Tabris (RED TEAM)
About them: From Dragon Age, Alley is a Tabris (a potential protagonist origin of the first game) who never met Duncan, and never became the Grey Warden. Instead, after butchering her way free of the Arl's estate, she ran off to join the Dalish in the Free Marches.

Fast forward to the start of Inquisition, and she was a full-fledged member of Clan Lavellan, including bearing a full face tattoo in the pattern of Elgar'nan (it's gone now). She was a natural choice for the Clan to pick to send to the Conclave to spy on the humans, with her experience with them and her history of carving her way free if she had to.

The rest is Dragon Age Inquisition history.

You can get more info about her on her journal, including her app!
Plans: I didn't end up using the idea I had last month... last month. So maybe this month, Alley's phantom limb pain will start to go nuts and fuck her up. THIS is basically what happened with her arm and what her brain will be convinced is happening again, somehow. Fun!

Also she's finally bought a whole bunch of seeds from Thedas and is going to start up gardening again.
CR wanted: All of it! Please hit me up so we can plan shit.
Things to avoid: I can't think of anything, but I'm not shy about speaking up before something's a problem if that changes!

Character: Little One. She will probably introduce herself as 'Buttercup' or 'B'
About them: OC. A small trainee assassin who serves an evil god. Ten IC months ago. after the worst week of her life she found herself on a train with a bunch of wierdos and her world view was well and truly shattered.

She can be bratty but is very good at wearing masks, being what people want her to be. If you feed her she likes you, if you feed her sweet food she will kill a guy for you.
Plans: Nothing huge with her!
CR wanted: Like literally all of it.

Prisoner | Dead Cells

[personal profile] runsfast_rollsfar 2021-01-31 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Prisoner (Red)
About them: From Dead Cells, he's from a world where a disease known only as the Malaise infected his entire home. What the Malaise didn't turn into horrible monsters the king killed in an attempt to quarantine. He did what anyone else in his position would do and went on a huge revenge quest to kill the king but the hand of the king is a douche and kept killing him instead. Kill, die, learn, repeat.

He's chill if you don't tell him what to do and his diction varies with mode of speech. If he's handwriting he's formal and polite and you will definitely think he's quite a bit kinder than he is, if he's texting on Soldat's tablet he cusses more and is more casual, if he's signing he tends to cuss a lot more. He's pretty what you see is what you get and he doesn't really care if you like him or not.
Plans: Renee is coming back on the train so he will be absolutely ecstatic about that - I'm sure that he will be introducing Renee to Soldat to show he's made an whole friendo. Outside of that nothing specific, he's basically a cartoon character that can cuss.
CR wanted: He's always down for fighting because that's like the one thing he's good at, but he will try to teach sign language to those who want to learn. He's an awful teacher but there is literally nothing else to do on this dumb train. Otherwise people who will help him engage in silly antics or otherwise aren't afraid of fire or apparently dead things is always nice.
Things to avoid: Not that I can think of, but I'll reach out if something comes up.

V | Cyberpunk 2077

[personal profile] bodyoftheseus 2021-01-31 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: V (Blue)
About them: Cyberpunk 2077, streetkid start, temperance ending. He's a messed up guy with a lot of walls and a lot of fears but on the surface he's pleasant enough. Will keep you at arm's length for an extended period of time and will be less than interested in you getting to know him. Will be very confused as to why he has a body again but sure why not.
Plans: He will be adopting Noct's cat, Reggie, since Noct is leaving. If nobody tells him the name of the cat he'll be forced to rename it, oh nooo. He's also going to be adopted by local bi disaster Rich as an older brother. Other than that he's just going to be settling in and figuring out what the actual heck is happening. He probably will pull a gun on Handsome Jack but well see.
CR wanted: All of it, let's start the CR endurance run.
Things to avoid: Nothing I can think of but I'll reach out if I figure something out.

I have appearance references and cyberware lists for this boy on his profile for the curious.

myblueskies: (Default)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-01-31 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Romeo
About them: Romeo's Blue Skies. Romeo is an eleven year old farmers child who sold himself as a chimney sweep to save his dying father. He is taken to Milano, makes a lot of friends including Alfredo who he makes a vow of eternal friendship with. Many sad and difficult things happen. Romeo is a CRAU which means he died in Milano and ended up in a Japanese-style heavens with just his name and no memory, to become a shinki- a weapon of a god. That god was Elfnein. He was there for half a year during which made more friends, fought monsters, got a couple of memories back and then ended up on the train. Made more friends (sensing a pattern?) He is full of hope and optimism and always wants to keep his spirits up. He is on the blue team!
Plans: Elfnein is leaving the train this platform, Romeo will be made the shinki of Zetta (who is also a god from his past game). He's gonna have some big feelings about everything.
CR wanted: Romeo is easy to throw at anyone! I want it all!

Name: Absol
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] darkestabsol

Character: Masumi Sera (Purple Team)
About them: She's from Detective Conan, and is one of several teen detectives who appear throughout the series. Masumi herself has quite a bit of (rather spoilery) Family Drama going on, and was busy trying to help fix some of that drama when she got yanked to the train about three and a half in game months ago. She's still not happy about that, but can't really talk about it much since she was told not to.

Personality wise, she generally gets along well with others. That said, she does have her secrets and do her best to keep them.
Plans: She was just given reason to mistrust Sharon Vineyard, and will be trying to resolve some questions about her involvement in certain events. Other than that, not all that much at the moment, beyond any remaining stuff from her recent Castmate Drama.
CR wanted: Literally any CR is good.
Things to avoid: N/A

Name: Emily
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] deerleisure

Character: Ai Haibara
About them: Child(?) genius from Detective Conan. Actually an adult who took a drug that turned her into a child. A once-in-a-lifetime biochemical genius, goth fashionista, and salty babysitter rolled into one. Incredibly paranoid because there's a criminal organization out to kill her.
Plans: She's still dealing with the fallout of her identity getting revealed to her castmates. Also she's trying to get out a bit more? Other than that nothing concrete, let's get some more CR!
CR wanted: ANYTHING, she's kind of insular right now and I need to expand her circle.
Things to avoid: People who can like figure out her identity themselves are fine, but please don't go revealing her secret to the train at large ok? Ok.

Other Notes: I'm in a region being slammed by a blizzard with 2-3 feet of snow and heavy winds starting today through Tuesday morning, so there's a chance I'll lose power for a few days and miss platform. I'll try to tag out more later in the month!

bakegarasu: (protector of shinjuku)

Yosuke Otoha | Karas

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2021-01-31 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Yosuke Otoha (Red)
About them: Former yakuza enforcer with a history of abuse and no emotional awareness. He's the protector of the city of Shinjuku, and is slowly learning how to human since he was never really able to during his life.
Plans: WELL I HAVE A CASTMATE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER and some people probably have the wrong idea about his yurine from what he's said. Oops. So he's probably going to be dealing with the fallout from that. (And also maybe hypercool training, though he's going to have to learn how to fix the training dummies given how excessive his armored form can be.)

Other than that, more learning emotional awareness! More figuring out how to not nearly or actually have a panic attack when he feels emotional pain, since he can't feel pain at all!

Also he's getting a pair of pictures of him and Reiji (his dead best and only friend) so he's going to be trying to figure out some kind of memorial. He's thinking growing something but he also doesn't really know how grief works.
CR wanted: Give me all of it nom nom nom. People who come to him complaining about his yurine might get a somewhat more hostile answer than they're expecting, though.
Things to avoid: More likely that he's going to be the one crossing lines, but I try to warn for that stuff in subject lines if when it comes up.

Kaiba

[personal profile] blue_ice 2021-01-31 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Seto Kaiba (orange team)
About them: From Yu-Gi-Oh. Formerly-evil card game obsessor and CEO of a tech company, now a haughty idiot with a few soft spots. He hates to lose, but he loves to play.
Plans: He's still working on developing a game with Yugi, and offering help with general mechanic things/repair prep. He's very salty that he never got around to getting a hammerspace item before the restriction was put in, as he never got around to inventing one himself at home. Would've needed a more powerful fuel for it. So...sorry lab buddies, he can't help store stuff, but he can order more duel disks if people want to play the card game (they have a whole chest of cards to pick from!)

He'll also be training his baby apple lizard, and training himself in combat. Anyone willing to teach him the sword or staff would be great, he needs a melee option.
CR wanted: More friends and rivals! People to train with, late night board game with...
Things to avoid: Nothing comes to mind!

Ken Amada | Persona 3 (AU)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2021-01-31 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Ken Amada (AU) (Red)
About them: An AU where he joined the antagonist team that's less antagonistic than it is in canon. Full AU stuff is on his journal. In short he's an angry eleven year old dealing with some serious fallout from canon stuff. He can also shoot himself in the head to summon a Persona, Nemesis.
Plans: Oh, boy. His first order of business once platform day rush has finished is going to be to make or steal a spear and hide it somewhere other people can't get to it. He's going to have to be told about the armory lockers. He may also end up swiping useful-looking equipment or food, so if someone wants to have him do that to their stuff, let me know.

First of all, though... he's going to need someone good at dealing with psychological shock, or at least enough to get him moving. Be warned that if you treat him like a kid he's going to be very angry.
CR wanted: People to help him with shock, preferably someone who's 17ish or younger. He doesn't trust adults, and he really doesn't trust scientists or police officers, so if your character gives off that kind of air it'll be an uphill battle.
Things to avoid: Yet another 'more likely to trigger than to be triggered', but he probably won't respond to gentle fussing very well so unless you want him to snap at your more sensitive character, probably better to wait a bit.

Mami (cw: issues of identity, death mentions)

[personal profile] magicurls 2021-01-31 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Mami Tomoe (purple team)
About them: From Puella Magi Madoka Magica. A lonely young teen who's a supreme chef and magical girl, fighting for justice with her ribbons and rifles. Her trust in justice and her abilities never wavers.
Plans: As always, she's available to help cook or heal at any time. She has Rosetta (a small Shaymin-Pokémon species) with her now, and they spend time in the greenhouse helping plants grow.

Okay so here's where the content warning kicks in:

Mami just learned that she's a lich, and she's not taking it very well. She's pretending to, but...hoo boy, she feels like an alien in her own body and she's afraid of what it means. She doesn't know anything else about the secrets of the lore yet, thankfully. So this month is for dealing with that. There'll be a network post at some point after the storm, but it'll be under a cut.

CR wanted: More friends please? Please don't be afraid of her...
Things to avoid: I allow fourth-walling generally, but please don't fourth-wall her on further secrets of the soul gems! She's not ready for that. But yeah, super-excited to delve deeper into her fears and help her come out stronger.
