April Information and CR meme!

We hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is (still) 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, refreshed at the platform, 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 reaches the halfway point in the month of Kazoo, the train will stop to pick up new passengers.

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 train event on the 10th and 11th of April. We currently have no submitted player-led plots or events for April.

The TDM will be posted on the 16th. Reserves will open on the 18th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th, and AC will run between the same dates.

For a reference, please consult our calendar post.

Other Info

Thank you to our NPC handlers, Ree and Nat, for their wonderful work on this mission! We couldn't do it without them!

We ask players to please submit any plots that will be unavoidable, widespread or both to the player plot calendar. This is to ensure that a mod has reviewed it, that events don't pile up, and that when relevant, we can open the dressing carriage and put everyone in matching outfits. It also means you can check the calendar for upcoming events or plots!

Our new players (and old players who want a refresher) might find it useful to read gameplay before the platform. As always the mods are happy to answer any questions you might have.

Points have been updated on the Roster.

Entrapta

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-03-31 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Entrapta
About them: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
- Cabin: 4:D
- Mad scientist with the ability to move her hair.
- Likely to occasionally miss some social cues, especially when she's excited on missions.
- A scientist who comes from a magical world so she sees it as an integral part of invention.
- Will use her hair to both get around and do stuff. It's constantly moving
Plans: Entrapta is still currently making her big combat robot. Her projects also include making drones, hopefully two for each team to use on missions with VR headsets and let people accomplish some dangerous tasks. Thanks to Tidus and Roland she's going to start expirementing with some of the things related to Void communication, but she has to talk to them (and I have to ask the mods a bunch of questions). But it will be something she's interested in. And she's also looking into researching Rapunzel's hair and its dramatic affects.

And there's the healing sniper and grenades. Some of these might overlap, but right now her points focus will be on the combat bot.

She's going to be talking to Jack either after or during the Rich incident about the issues that lead to it (depending on when and what she finds out) and probably checking in on Kaiba (depending on what happens and what she hears about). Other than that I'm keeping her out of trouble specifically so she can be there to validate her friends and help with plots.
CR wanted: CR that can use a fixit fidgety scientist. That is the CR that I want. I really enjoyed the chance to have her act zany but also usefully during the mission! That was exactly the fun I wanted when I apped her. If I could do it again I'd love that. She can use CR with people that would help in any one of her projects.
Things to avoid: Same as last time. If someone comes at her hard with negative CR she'll just avoid them. It's not productive to engage with someone like that.

Science buddies? Science buddies.

Seriously, Siebren finds Entrapta charming and would be happy to help her with her projects. He's no engineer, but he has steady hands and can do heavy lifting.
sciencegirl: (082)

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-03-31 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
She's also trying to be very careful to not make an AI that will damage the crew purposefully, but allow it room to grow and be creative. She's been listening to cautionary tales to see where it went wrong for other people, and I know Siebren's world has some Shit That Happened he could really advise her on.

Oh my god the Omnic worldbuilding in Overwatch is a gallivanting clusterfuck

But that's me screaming on an OOC level that Blizzard is forcing me to make sense of their mess, again, STILL. Siebren would be happy to help Entrapta, though he will warn her that the stories are...pretty rough, to say the least.

Trunks told her his and I think she's still going to talk to Ken about things, so she wants those messy perspectives so she can get it right and Claudette will be a loving and welcome member of the team that they can use a flashlight like a laser pointer on.

Would she like to learn about ghost tech?
sciencegirl: (085)

Entrapta

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-03-31 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
She would very much down for learning some of that at some point! Especially if it's another way she can enhance her current scanner.
schrodingersghost: (fenton - hate my life)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2021-03-31 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny would be happy to share, if it meant he won't set off that scanner whenever it gets finished. (If he had a dollar for every time his parents ghost scanner went off and targeted every weapon in the area on him...)

Luckily it just acts as a way for her to detect magic/layouts/macguffin composition. So it probably wouldn't go off as an alert. It'd just detect his ghost juju and then if there were other energies around him.

I'm super excite to have this convo between him and Entrapta! I would like to do it during the incident if posible.

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-03-31 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! If you end up having a good chance for it to happen, lmk and I'll tag in!

Kitty isn't too much of a techy, but she'll be happy to help Entrapta with her projects! She'll also be happy to help test out things with her powers.

I also would love more CR with Yondu, because I just think it'd be cute haha
yondu: (2 3 4)

[personal profile] yondu 2021-03-31 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! To both things. Especially since she's doing the drone thing, Kitty could bounce between locations and super help her with that.

And absolutely. She put up with him being a sadsack in the catacombs so he knows she won't judge him if he's not being at top-tier hardass.

[personal profile] goingthroughaphase 2021-03-31 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Kitty would absolutely help her test out the drone. And even if she'd known about him being a hardass before, she definitely wouldn't judge him

Whatever happens with the incident, I'd love for Entrapta and Rich to talk about it a little! He miiiight be a little wary of her robot plans, but he needs the reminder that not all robots are like Jack and the SQUIP :P
sciencegirl: (041)

Re: Entrapta

[personal profile] sciencegirl 2021-04-01 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she'll be really sorry that happened to him and promise not all robots are like that. If he needs proof, talk to Guri (just talk to her like a person because she's been treated very badly by people).

And that she was raised by robots herself. So it's not really fair Rich has only been victimized by them.

Like, she's friends with Jack, but she is often friends with fuck-ups that take a while to realize they fucked up and she definitely will acknowledge that this was terrible.

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-04-05 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Rich is sure not all robots are like that, he just has a bad track record with the AI he's been interacting with before. He wasn't raised by the AI in his head so much as it took the appearance of his mom to abuse and manipulate him. And so he's... probably grown up way too fast.

Either way, Rich is a fuck up too, so he does sort of understand where Entrapta is coming from. He's just done with giving Jack chances himself.
