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.

Rui Ninomiya

[personal profile] partofthecrowd 2021-04-30 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Rui Ninomiya

About them: Rui is a master hacker and AI programmer, as well as a member of the Gatchaman. This is her first visit to the train and she's coming in on Team Orange. Rui is incredibly principled. She believes in the principles of free thought, and that each person should step up and do their part to make a better world.

She uses her social media platform to influence people to do good deeds. Really, it's her ideals that cause her the most trouble. She wanted to lead a bloodless revolution. When her ideals are challenged, she can be very assertive and vocal, but otherwise she's quite shy. She's been very reclusive for several years. It should be noted that she is transgender and without her makeup, wigs and clothing she looks like any ordinary boy. She will, however, not correct anyone misgendering her, as this is perfectly acceptable practice in her canon. She's resigned to living with it.

Power-wise her powers are centred around electricity and teleportation. She can actually teleport herself through any electronic device when transformed, and a shorter distance without that. She also has the ability to use and grant CROWDS which is a real world avatar for the person's will.

Plans: Rui is not going to be happy. Not only is orange not her colour, but she's not feeling great because she just got healed and is recovering from severe internal injuries, but she's not really going to be able to express herself how she wants. To add insult to injury, her best friend and AI X is not going to be able to come with her.

Honestly, her best move at the initial point is getting into a bed. She might want to do more but she really ought not to. Utsutsu did what she could, but Rui's pretty close to collapse anyway.

CR wanted: She's brand new so I will take anything and everything!

Things to avoid: Rui might accept that people are going to be disrespectful but she sure as hell doesn't like it. She's more likely to be wary of people, even if the fact they don't know is partly her fault. She may be hesitant to befriend people considering those she's tried to befriend have just turned their backs on her.

As another person with a case of the genders, I really do want to hit Rui with Bacon.

oh hello fellow technopath-range nerd (with the bonus of there being a good chance of Ghost instinctively getting The Genders right bc 'idk feels like a girl?' telepathy is hard.)
partofthecrowd: (Oho!)

She probably would feel that way to a telepath.

Rui enjoys her tech toys, she's gonna miss them.

I'd love to play out some stuff with these two, esp since they share a team color + gender things, and I strongly agree that Rui deserved better in canon so on a personal level I'd love to play out some positive stuff!
