voidtreckerooc | March 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 Kazoo. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "A journey well shared is a journey well enjoyed".

This means: Varied CR. The first thread with each character set in the month of Kazoo will earn you two bonus points during March and April.

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during April AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!

The ingredient of the month is tomato. 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: Laundry
Purple: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
Red: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Orange: Meal Preparation

The Train

As the month moves onto the month of Kazoo, the train will stop to pick up new passengers. When everyone rejoins the train they will find a new sleeper carriage.

As a reminder, you can list things that characters have added to the train here. Just comment under the header of the carriage you are adding to!

Important Dates

This month’s event will be a world event on the 11th - 25th of March. (An info and 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 22nd and the 29th. AC will run from the 23rd to the 30th of March.

Other Info

We now have a Permissions Directory page for character permissions posts that have specific requirements or warnings, or need opt-ins or information from other players.

As it is a mission month we would like to remind you about our NPC handler roles. Sign up is here!

Also for those wanting to plan things in game,please remember the player plot calender to help make sure everyone knows what is happening and when!

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: Usagi
Contact info:

usagisquared + Usagi#9605 for discord

Character: Katsuya Jonouchi
About them: AU Jonouchi from a world where things are Kinda Different (on MANY LEVELS, he's actually a seer, I'm adding his permissions to the directory)- and then a CRAU from a Pokemon Game at that! Jou's a little more responsible than his canon counterpart, but the trade off is somehow that he's gathered a lot more scars... ...He's also got a pastlife it turns out, but he's handled that like a champ!

Notable for going from standard teen things one minute to fiddling with a drop spindle while holding a puppy sized ponyta the next. Also for finishing sentences.

Jou is on Team Blue, and typically goes with Blue too. He's also cabin 1:E.

Plans: Jou's purchasing a pokemon for someone else, and candies for yet another someone else, but the biggest plan of the month is roomie related and CR related- aside from the usual branching around, he just lost a roomate he was close to, and in the same breath, it's about to be filled in with someone else too.
CR wanted: For now, we're seeing where the chips fall! There's a lot of new folk after all.
Things to avoid: It's not an 'avoid', but rather a warning! As a heads up- and this goes for all four of the muses, even Potato- I'll be taking things rather slow and easy where I can, as one of my games is actually having their closing event this month! So if it takes a bit for me to reply back, don't worry! That's just...that.

Character: Emporio Alniño
About them: From JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Stone Ocean), Emporio is a young boy who came from a pretty gnarly end-series moment- as a walking spoiler, his permissions are going up in the directory soon enough.

Outside of spoilers though, he grew up hiding around a prison- and somehow came out pretty 'normal' if not fairly intelligent. This kid held the braincell in a cast of adults for a reason after all! He can even fly a chopper somehow...

Despite being on team Orange, Emporio typically runs with Red Team- in fact, he swapped sweaters with someone on Red. He's in cabin 1:A.
Plans: Nope! For the most part, just Emporio getting to know his CR ring and more.
CR wanted: More friends! More connections! Maybe someone who figures out his background isn't quite so typical?
Things to avoid: Aside from the note on Jonouchi's, there's nothing really coming to mind here.

Character: Yuume Souryuu/Kaiba
About them: An OC, from an alternate timeline a full century or so ahead of YGO DM Canon. Mokuba's great-great-great-granddaughter, she's a university student whose current career specializes in entering soulrooms (soulscapes really) to solve related issues. Due to the shadow- kinda like a daemon, or a superpower- she herself has, she can make use of abilities normally specific to those domains while on the typical field. Comes in handy! (Essentially that means pulling on an armor and using a really big sword. Also sliding around in the shadows)

Overall, she's a rather selfless (TOO SELFLESS) woman, who tends to think about the safety and thoughts of others before herself.

Yuume is in team Purple, and while she's gone with Purple for the most part, is just as likely to assist the smaller teams in theory, depending on where she feels she'd be of use. She's in cabin 2:E.
Plans: Right now, Yuume's going to be working with Roland on a few things- though how far that goes, who knows just yet.
CR wanted: Currently, we're just looking to solidify some close CR- which of course means new is very welcome (and good thing there's a lot of new folk)
Things to avoid: None right now, but keep in mind that Yuume herself is incredibly nyctophobic. Which you wouldn't expect given her powerset, but here we are.

Character: 'Potato' (listed as Mondial Ribbok Vardaman on the roster)
About them: A Fate/ OC, from an original grail war! Potato is a uniquely formed homunculus, and is only about 3 feet tall, resembling a sort of plush animal with a large tail. She's entirely indestructible- literally- but the trade off is she can't really do much harm, even while armed.

Not that she wants to do any harm! Potato is pretty much a walking learning AI who picked up her morals off cartoons- while she can be reasoned with on the idea that maybe a fight is necessary, she's more likely to focus on the power of friendship and the like if anything.

As part of team Orange, she's probably gonna go with Orange! It's a hard call to tell where she'd be of use, let alone where she'd expect to be of use. Potato is in cabin 7:E.
Plans: This is Potato's intro platform! The plans are to get going, get settled, and get happy. And maybe make a contract with Caster, for both their sakes.
CR wanted: ALL
Things to avoid: None coming to mind beyond the blanket warning I noted with Jou's blurb!

Dear Jou, Ryo would like to pet your pokemon again please. They are fluffy and soothing and it's been a very long month.

Siebren needs to talk with Yuume again. I don't really have any ideas - just that. :Db

And both of them need to meet Potato, because Potato sounds amazing.
