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.

Ryo (OC)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2021-03-31 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Ryo
About them: Cabin 4B, orange team, OC from a fantasy/magic-heavy world! 16-year-old healer who has a weird contradiction of really liking people and also being terrified they'll hate him for absolutely no reason. (His world took a perfectly good healer and gave him a tragic backstory and now he has anxiety.) He's still working on coming out of his shell, but he's got a ways to go. The exception here is, if he meets someone in pain or needing help, he goes into healer mode and that's all confidence and authority. He knows what he's doing and he wants to help. Basically, he's a little ball of compassion and anxiety. Please be his friend.
Plans: Ryo has gotten better at approaching people and making his opinions known, though he still has quite a bit of anxiety over People Hating Him For No Reason. He's still pretty exhausted after the recent mission and will be having something of a breakdown at platform; aside from that, he's mostly staying the course: working on his cooking skills, gardening, and taking care of people if they seem like they need it.
CR wanted: Give me everything! He needs friends his own age, he needs parents, and while he doesn't necessarily need people to take care of he will absolutely gravitate towards them and take care of them. He's been adopting a lot of people with personhood issues. It's kind of wild. The only caveat here is, if CR starts out negative, it might be difficult to turn that around, because he 1) is still scared of people and 2) holds grudges.
Things to avoid: OOCly, I don't really have anything that needs to be avoided as long as you don't link me pictures of spiders; ICly, nothing!
Notes: Please fill out his permissions post! Ryo's Sense allows him to pick up on life energy and a few details, and having that information helps me out quite a bit.

I'm still down with Ryo hanging out with an old space pirate if the opportunity presents itself.

Also having him be confused by Murphy.

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2021-03-31 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yessss let's do it

on both counts

Zombies aren't a Thing in Ryo's world - like, there are a few scattered stories of someone being returned from the dead or unable to die, but zombies as a concept don't exist - so Murphy is going to seem real weird to him

eyes you, eyes ryo, eyes bird. more of them pls. I loved the mission threads with them and she's gonna adopt the kid if she subconsciously hasn't already

Yes. Yes absolutely. Willow is Good and he rather likes her.

(Pls teach him to write with his magic; this seems to be a necessary skill)
runicfeathers: (Best day ever)

[personal profile] runicfeathers 2021-03-31 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
She's a good birdmom and does her best, and will absolutely teach him magic writing! Magic writing is important

Siebren de Kuiper/Sigma (Overwatch)

[personal profile] namethattune 2021-03-31 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Siebren de Kuiper (Sigma)
About them: Cabin 5A, orange team, from Overwatch. A brilliant astrophysicist who experienced a lab accident that gave him gravity powers and shattered his sanity. He's generally kind and interested in others' work, and he's doing his absolute best not to let anyone know about his mental health issues. He's a shield tank, so he's absolutely the protective type.
Plans: He was going to have a Long Talk about his past with a few people, but that will likely be a bit delayed for a bit - we'll see how things shake out. Aside from that, he'll still be hard at work trying to develop his powers in new directions and could absolutely help with that; he's also up for helping new people settle in as needed.
CR wanted: Everything! He could use someone with powers to help him work with his, he tends to take care of kids/younger members of the team, and he can sass with the best of them, so negative CR is also welcome.
Things to avoid: I'm trying not to mentally break Siebren, so if a thread starts pushing too far in that direction, I may ask for a direction change or a rewrite.

*grabs your coat lapels and pulls you closer*

*whispers*

I have so many dumb comedy lines planned for you.




That said, I love Entrapta and Siebren CR and she'll want to know more about that Beep Boop situation. And Yondu just really clumsily wants to hang out with him.

*whispers back*

bitchin' let's go


Siebren will absolutely hang out with Yondu. They can get alcohol and listen to music, or find something gloriously terrible in the cinema car, or play board games, or whatever works at the time. Chill. Be buds.

Siebren will tell Entrapta what he can, given that he wasn't there for most of the robot interactions, and he'll help her out with her projects if she'd like.

He's going to have his full Ravager gear too, so it'll be like hanging out with a space biker. A whistling biker.

Damn I should have bought decent booze with my points. I guess I still could but I will do so when the mods suffer less.

OH RIGHT one of the pieces of yaka metal that he just got is meant to go to Siebren.

Space Biker and Gravity Grandpa: A CBS Original Program.

I still haven't inundated them with my slew of purchases yet - you've got time.

He will be touched that Yondu is giving him a piece of his home. ;~;

I went ahead and got some. Vodka, Whiskey, and Rum for mixing in with whatever. The deed is done.

(Also ordered some lab materials for Entrapta.)

Siebren seems like a person that'd appreciate a metal that can only happen on one alien planet.

[grabs your coat lapels as soon as Bianca drops them] help working on his powers you say

come play table tennis it's a fantastic small-items-control exercise (and also fun)

[personal profile] namethattune 2021-03-31 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
asdlfkj;as I'm not even wearing a coat where are you guys finding this

He's not terribly worried about fine control - it's dividing his focus/being able to manipulate multiple items in different ways (as opposed to as a group) that's tripping him up.

well multiple balls isn't a variation they've tried yet at the transtar telekinetic table tennis league, but it's probably less messy than tomatoes

I love one floating giant science man and I'd love to get CR with him. Alas Dennis does not have powers, he is but a normal young man who puts on a lot of heavy clothes to go fight fires.
