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.

Red Oni (Alvin Murphy)

[personal profile] zombiemessiah 2021-04-30 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Alvin Murphy
About them: Z Nation
- Cabin: L4:D
- Member of the Sad Dad club. His daughter self-sacrificed to save him. He's not told anyone this, and has barely mentioned that he had a daughter.
- Zombie/Human hybrid Blend
- Was a non-violent white-collar criminal experimented on against his will and given a serum and was mauled by invading zombies while on the table
- One of them 'products of horrible science' guys
- Thanks to the serum he has some strange and very questionable abilities, permissions here.
- These abilities probably won't be used against anyone on the train under special circumstances.
- Cynical to a fault
- Had a megalomaniac phase and is like, 75% over it
- Evolves, current evolution has red skin and he straight-up looks like Satan. Has been blue and white before.
- Snarky bitch
- Probably gonna flirt if he sees a sign he can get away with it.
- If a telepath is open to talking to him, he's down for some thought communication.
- There's either a human(ish) brain wrapped in brown paper or black cookies with red frosting "Z"s on them in the fridge at any given time. They are now labeled "For Murphy". They're probably very good but do not eat Murphy's cookies.
Plans: I want him to learn necromancy or cultivation. Other than that I'm still winging it, though. He's also going to figure out he can't be healed by light or dark magic, probably uncomfortably, so someone's going to have to come up with another way if he gets hurt.
CR wanted: People to snark at or people to snark with.
Things to avoid: The only things that make him super touchy are belittling his little girl or making light of people that were in those "unwanted mad science" positions. He's not anti-science, he has the intelligence of a couple of legendary virologists (because he ate their brains).

Yep! Her name was Lucy and she was a very intentionally hilariously dumb antichrist analogy in the series. But she was actually very sweet. She also hyper-aged whenever she was under stress so she technically died of old age at three years old while saving him.

considering Crowley thought he was also raising the antichrist please let them be sad together

I will find some way to wrangle it out of him. He doesn't realize how bad he needs sad dad club support.
