March Information and CR meme!

[voidtreckermods]

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!

Character: Casper LeBlanc, Jr. (Room 3:D, Purple team.)
About them: Tabletop character (Scion/Classic World of Darkness) with 3 years of CR from synodiporia. A demigod with shit parents and some PTSD around both crabs and guns, he's had three years to work through his issues and get to a pretty stable place of accepting himself and acknowledging his past without living in it. He's also got a wide variety of skills and can be incredibly powerful, but prefers to use those powers to help others or amuse them rather than harm.
Plans: He's a new person on the train! He'll be arriving with Q'uila (dragoonrouge) who is also from Syn, so he'll probably stick near her for a little bit before peeling off to get distracted on his own. He's going to immediately look at the bundle of Issues that is the train and then just... go around offering a quiet shoulder to lean on. Also possibly accidentally entrance someone with his Song magic. Additionally he is likely going to have a panic attack the first time he looks at the fish stew ingredients since it involves prawns.
CR wanted: Bring him your tired caretakers, your grief-stricken muses, and your people who need some sensible peer-driven advice for anxiety and depression. He's not a licensed therapist but he has a good head on his shoulders (usually). Also planning on having him poke his nose into Purple Team leadership and offer his wide variety of talents and also ridiculously large hammerspace.
Things to avoid: Please keep in mind his PTSD around gunshots/guns and crabs/other crustaceans. It's fine if it comes up in a thread, just know he won't do well.

Edit: Also if you value your life do not hurt his bird. His soul is in there and also Bob is like a brother to him.

He also has an ability permissions post that it would be helpful if you filled out if you haven't already!

Yessss all the meeting shenanigans. He's at least polite enough to ask if he can pet before he pets.
