May 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 Llama. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "With every falling apart, there is a coming together".

This means: Any thread with someone your character has never met before in-game will earn you two bonus points during May and June.

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during June 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 nori. 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: Meal Preparation
Purple: Laundry
Red: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
Orange: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas

The Train

As the month changes from Kazoo to Llama, the train will stop to pick up new passengers.

During the minutes where all passengers are on the platform, the train will be shrouded in impassable fog. When the fog clears, the sleeper carriages will be double-decker. Carriages 1 and 2 will be together, 3 and 4, etcetera. There will also be a fifth sleeper and another sleeper containing double rooms.

For Sleeper information, go here. For this month only the window for moving will be until the mission (9th May) and passengers may move in right away, after that all moves to double rooms will be actioned on platform days and passengers will find their ticket changes at that time.

Coach N has also been added, a double decker carriage with a corridor running down the left hand side. On the right of each floor are three rooms that Voidtreckers can hire. For Hire carriage information, go here.

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 running from the 9th to the 23rd of May. A plotting post will go up on the 5th.

The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th, and AC will run between the 23rd and the 30th.

For a reference, please consult our calendar post. For player-led events, such as the Purple team meeting on the 3rd of May, please see the player plot calendar.

Other Info

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.

10billionpercent: (Curiosity Piqued)

Senku Ishigami

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2021-04-30 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Senku Ishigami

About them: Senku is a proud member of Team Orange! On the train he's a Junior Team Lead as well as works a lot in medical as a doctor. He also sometimes takes commissions for things people want provided he has the materials required. He also has husband on board and their pokemon catson Orion the Espurr.

At home Senku is the Chief of Ishigami Village, leader of the Kingdom of Science, a member of the five wise generals. He works as a doctor and has roughly 150 patients and has been doing so for several years. His skills are somewhere around general practitioner/general surgeon. He is also an avid member of the Spartan Crafting Club as so lovingly dubbed by Gen. He's he head engineer on 99% of the projects undertaken by the kingdom and likes to get his hands dirty. He's trying to bring the world from the stone age back to the modern world as fast as possible through his extensive knowledge and mastery of all STEM fields.

Plans: In April he married his long time partner (albeit the romantic part is a bit more recent, but not that recent) Gen Asagiri. He's still undertaking his SCA experiment in an effort to learn more about the tether, what it does and how to sever it so he can go home. This study has undergone some modifications thanks to the last mission. Early this month he will be conducting various experiments he would like help with. He's finally considered his healing spell to be mastered and is moving onto a shielding spell.

Apart from delivering some commissions he took after last mission, I don't particularly have any plans for him, outside of the mission prep/experiments.

CR wanted: He'd like to be able to talk/do science more he feels like he's been slacking, but also he kind of needs a bit of help with his magic. He may be trying to figure out ways to assist in combat (which is a terrible idea).

Things to avoid: The fastest way to negative CR with Senku is to grab him, especially unexpectedly.

He is welcome to drag Eva into helping with his experiments!

Senku's science experiment includes swapping SCAs to see how they react when exposed to something Senku is severely allergic to. He's trying to set off the alarm on purpose. (Not while harming himself)

He's also watching clocks for two days counting time...he does not need help with that XD

His not science experiment is a magic experiment and he needs practice with this shield business.

Entrapta is still willing to help with experiments and other stuff.

She's curious about this, too. Not as much as him, but enough to be down with learning.

Bacon would def want to help with experimenting and can sympathize with trying to bring about the modern age again ASAP, although the place they were previously trying to do that in was only Age of Exploration, not the Stone Age.

Senku actually met and threaded with their 'cousin' Thorne.tcai last fall. By cousin I mean that Bacon's aunt programmed her.

I remember Thorne.tcai!

Yeah well it's a lot of work is what it is. Fortunately Senku loves hard work.

Oh good! I wish I'd been more consistent in playing her, but a lot of shit was going on for me, both in my other games and IRL.

Bacon can dig it. They've never been afraid of hard work either, even if sometimes getting started on tasks is hard.
10billionpercent: (Huh?)

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2021-04-30 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
No worries, it happens!

Senku more has the problem stopping but you know, that's Gen's job. Making him rest XD

are you ready for BRAIN SCANS young man
10billionpercent: (This...is exhilarating)

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2021-04-30 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! He's definitely ready and curious about the brain scans. He doesn't have the experience Morgan does, but help him see what he's looking at and he'll be able to follow it.
intelinside: (and with the available information)

SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS.

No, I'm just reiterating that I'm excited to play Phineas off of both Senku and Rui, honestly. Buncha Orange Team nerds. Phineas is already curious about the SCA but cautious about messing with it too much, so Gen's experiments will be especially interesting to him.

Excellent!

Pfft, what's caution?
