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.

Name: Avie
Contact info: (Pacific Time) [personal profile] aviekokyre, [plurk.com profile] aviekokyre, Discord: aviekokyre#3411

Character: Thanatos

About them: From Hades, Red Team, Death Incarnate who is actually a nice guy (but also tsundere and emotionally confused) but is still learning how to be his own person instead of just his job as God of Gentle Death and more. 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'll also be found in the greenhouse car, enjoying the green life there.

Plans: Than's gone through a bit of a character growth/realization at the end of the last mission, although he's struggling with what it means to him and his world. He's one of the new healers on Red Team trying to keep them alive. He's also kinda dealing with emotions and feelings he doesn't fully understand. Especially towards a certain other idiot god who gave him ambrosia on the train. He's crushing so hard and in pining hell and doesn't even realize it.

CR wanted: More friends, more people who continue to push him to be more himself rather than just Death, people who know of Greek mythologies or whatever, people to talk about Life or saving a world that's really ravaged right now, maybe people he won't get along with, open to a lot of CR things!

Things to avoid: Do not try to restrain him, especially by grabbing his wrists or shoving him into a small space. 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 in time he left. Let him have 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.

If you ever want a mildly confusing zombie again, I'm very much open to it. Also Yondu's been in crushing hell lately (it's not quite at the pining level but god he's been there in the past, too) so he'd have his empathy in the very off chance he found out.

I loved mildly confusing zombie. Than had no idea he was being flirted with, and I was laughing the whole time.

Yondu, help. How can he not?! Have crush? (Anyone with eyes can tell Than's in love with Zag... save Than and maybe Zag. Death's not subtle at all.)

You know, sometimes you just tell dudes they have nice hair and that's how your day goes.

Oh god this poor man. Yondu's last pre-train crush was years before and involved a married man so he would know that bad doomed end of that pain.

He doesn't know. Is that a thing mortals do? =|a

It is pain, and he hates it. Can feelings just stop please?
yondu: (1 2 3)

[personal profile] yondu 2021-05-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well if non-mortals did it then Zues wouldn't have go fuckin' people as swans and cows, now would he?

Yondu has been told that feelings are important or you'll turn to some heartless emotionless machine but y'know sometimes that don't sound so bad.

...... Zeus is not a good example for anything except for what not to do.

Those people who say feelings are important really need to help people deal with said emotions then! They're distracting and are going to cause trouble and he's so confused

What's a dad type? Than has no idea. He thought fathers just try to kill their children and refuse to take responsibility. Please don't tell his boss that.

(Yes! I would)

[personal profile] agathokakological 2021-05-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)

crowley would NEVER.

WELL refusal to take responsibility is kinda his M.O. so M A Y B E.

Refusing to take responsibility can be fix easier than stopping a cycle of death. Probably

Crowley's met a version of death, didn't like his jokes.

I'd say Thanatos would be better, but Than can be a bit of a killjoy...

Not the right journal, but Kitty definitely wouldn't mind being his friend!

And maybe something with Lena here, because she's...kinda died before? XD;

Kitty, just be persistent because he has trouble making friends, but friendship happens to him!

Another daughter of Zeus is on the train?! And she has died before and come back? How come Zeus gets to break the rules? Was there an error in parchmentwork?

Kitty is definitely stubborn, so that's no problem!

Lena will have no idea what he's talking about, haha

Don't worry, Lena. Just go with it. Greek gods are weird.

Funnily enough, Greek gods do exist in her world, so she'll at least have heard about some of them. Although she will insist on some guy named Storkules, so good luck with that

Storkules... Herakles? Sounds legit.

Pining hell. Hecate has seen this before, gee I wonder why she doesn't get involved in romantic entanglements? (Because the Three Kings are idiots and she thinks romance is more problem than it's worth.)

Pretty sure she'll be impressed with his work ethic.

He didn't want to either. He wasn't interested in any of that! He just wants to do his job.

Side note, balk at the strangeness that Hades is never once called a king despite there being a queen and prince. Can't remember if Poseidon is called a king either. I know Zeus is for sure.

Dealing with emotions and feelings and not knowing how is kind of Hajime's way of life, really, hello. So like...if you want a really awkward friend who takes a bit of time to get to friend stage instead of "that asshole" stage...

If there's one thing the train forces everyone to have, it's time. Especially for the workaholics who find themselves without work.
