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: Thanatos
About them: From Hades, Red Team, Death Incarnate who is actually 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's been here since the start of Jelly and carries around a plush mouse (Mort). Than can often be found in the quiet car, giving himself a break from feeling ill and overwhelmed by all the sensations he feels on the surface (vs the Underworld). He's getting more used to things though. Yes, he does float/hover around while wearing his canon outfit most of the time. Chthonic gods are extra.

Plans: Finally having calmed down from panicking over death not occurring at home and alternate worlds with Zagreus, Thanatos can start to explore more about life on the train. He's going to be practicing using his sword without also using his powers of Death and floaty. He's also going to adorkably nerd out over his poppies finally sprouting in the greenhouse car. Maybe he'll start to learn more about feeling things, who knows?
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, people to recognize that he's a disaster demi because he sure doesn't understand his own feelings....
Things to avoid: Do not try to restrain him, especially by grabbing his wrists. Thanks, Sisyphus. You took a perfectly good death godling, gave him a month shackled in a box, and now he has trauma. Semi-related, don't burst his bubble about the possibility of returning home to the point he left. He's had like 4 or 5 mental breaks in a month. Let him hope ;~;

Than also has a permissions post for characters who have connections to death (though more for potential thread/CR ideas as Than has given up trying to understand this train) and also for Hades game spoilers if that's something you're worried about. He's taken from after the 1st win, all nectar given, favor completed, but no ambrosia.

More origami. More cooking. Board games? Card games? Dancing? You wanna learn the Lindy Hop, Than?

[controlsthedie]

Yes to all of this! These two need to cover the cabin in origami. Than is especially interested in butterflies, mice, and flowers.

He also seems to be learning cooking from multiple people, and I want to continue it because it amuses me. I never planned to have food be such a Thing for him, but it's worked out great.

The games... are going to be a learning curve because I'm not sure if he's played any. And Than does need to learn how to dance, but what the hell is a Lindy Hop? Some kind of strange rabbit?

[worthallthis]

Haaaaaaa a hop is just a happenin thing, pal!

I'm gonna do a catch-all before the mission with dance lessons, Thanatos can stop by and get swept up /gym emote

[controlsthedie]

Excellent, Than will get swept up for however long he lasts before he teleports away like the dork he is

[helborn]

Otoha and Thanatos just... chill times. Maybe reading together, maybe just quietly sitting near each other. Also his begonias will be starting to grow too. His peonies will not because he did not realize they take years to grow...

Meanwhile Casper will be instantly drawn to Thanatos but try not to poke too hard. When he hears the guy's name he might call him 'sir' until told to stop lsdkfsd

[controlsthedie]

Chill times with LOOM friends sounds nice. I can see them reading some fiction book and not getting it because they are being too literal or something.

Than is so not used to someone like Casper. He might just let him keep calling him sir for a while lol

[miseris_socios]

lkds Otoha understands fiction, he'll help Thanatos



... look when you're faced with an embodiment of a fundamental force of nature, especially one that you work with, it's best to be polite. He's not a Titan so he deserves respect.

[controlsthedie]

He's used to more historical stuff... that sounds like fiction only because gods and demigods and heroes and monsters....

Mark my words, at some point Than is going to ask Casper what he wants with him because he is just so thrown off lol

[helborn]

later he'll ask about the 'pls help move my soul' bit but at first he'll just be like "I just think you're neat"

[kumoko]

books friend-dates with him for kumoko (there there .gif, maybe getting him and zagreus to play video games together or sth) and lightning (swords!!! red team!!)

[controlsthedie]

Yes to all of the above please. Kumoko is adorable and needs friends (and to someday get a plushie of her own). And Lightning, please help him with Zag. He wants to tag along with Red Team, and he dies a lot, and Than would really like him not to die ;~;

[kumoko]

HER OWN PLUSH................. the dream. And it's okay, Lightning will happily join the no-deaths challenge run squad, she'll help load him down with healing supplies. They'll keep him safe u-u

[controlsthedie]

He watched his mom make Mort. There is a lot of thread and weaving imagery going on with his family. Plush making is totally in the realm of possibility.

Lightning, you are the best ;~;
