June 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 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 (this month!). 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 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!

We would also like to give a quick reminder about the two styles of network we have in game. On the train we have the ICPs these can send messages to the whole train or a specific carriage or sleeper cabin. They are video or voice only! For more information on the ICPs please look here

When on missions the character's SCAs work as comm devices, allowing voice chatter and there is always a comm-specific post for that. For more information on the SCAs please look here.

Important Dates

This month’s event will be a train event on the 12th and 13th of June.

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. For player-led events, please see the player plot calendar.

Other Info

Thank you once again to both Ree and Nat for their wonderful NPC work in the last mission! If anyone wishes to sign up to help with NPCing on missions please go here!

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.

We're delighted to announce that Ree will be joining the modteam as a mission assistant! This formalises a lot of what she has already been doing the last few months both as an NPC handler and helping with boss battles and other big mission events. It also means there will be a third person available to ask questions about missions and give out further information which should help things run a bit smoother and make sure everyone can be as involved as they wish to be!

Ree also made a shiny premise page too, which can be used to help recruit new players.

Points have been updated on the Roster.

Alvin Murphy | Z Nation | Red Team

[personal profile] zombiemessiah 2021-05-31 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Alvin Murphy
About them: Cabin L4:D
-Was called the 'savior of humanity' and the 'zombie messiah' back in his universe and love-hates the role. He's a mind-controlling king of the zombies who runs a club called 'Limbo' and dresses to suit his stage of evolution (apocalypse permitting). Once took over Spokane, Washington and renamed it Murphytown. Has been both blue and white in the past, but is currently crimson-skinned and straight-up decided to dress for the devil look.

-Origin story is your generic "science experiment gone awry" after he was strapped down and mauled after being given a test vaccine. He's more than happy to play along with scientists so long as he's a willing participant. When he's not there's hell to pay. He's covered in some really rank scars (cw for those here).

-He's admitted to maybe a couple of people that he's been a father, but not really shown off how much his daughter's passing messed him up. He got to play tacky bartender. He's flirted a lot and noted how obscenely hot the adults on the train are. One of his best friends here is a telepathic alien.

-There is usually either brain cubes in the freezer, a brain in a brown paper wrapper, or black cookies with red Zs on them. He labels his stuff now. DO NOT EAT MURPHY'S COOKIES they're zombie crave friendly.

-Infected a bunch of people on the last mission but then suffered psychic withdrawal almost as soon as he was back on the train. He can also make jewelry out of scrap metal now thanks to the ability he consumed there.
Plans:
-Generic AF: Still want him to learn necromancy or cultivation. Had a vague plan to do "Alien Jello Shots" at some point in which he downed a neuromod from Prey? Other than that, I don't really have a whole lot of plans other than buy some nice clothes and have him bitch about stuff.
CR wanted: People to snark with or at. I'd like to have him have a genuinely serious moment at some point but it's difficult to wring out of him.
Things to avoid: He gets real touchy if people suggest that 'if he behaves he won't get hurt'.

He very well might but also tell him that he likes his clothes because goddamn is Crowley fashionable.

Otoha needs to ask Murphy what 'DSL' meant, he didn't have time to ask in the moment...
zombiemessiah: (m16)

[personal profile] zombiemessiah 2021-05-31 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Did he say that out loud or in meta text?

I genuinely can't remember cause /gestures at Murphy

But we can assume he said it out loud at some point if he didn't.

Oh wait no you're right it was in meta whoops

... Otoha is just... confused at Murphy in general.

You get mauled by zombies and you just start assuming that no one's going to understand you anyway. Might as well be confusing or bitchy or both.

I need more Murphy and Ryo. Ryo has snark in him that a lot of people don't get to see, and I feel like hanging out with Murphy will bring that out.

He'll definitely bitch enough to give plenty of openings. Especially since I've decided generally that any sort of white/dark healing magic is going to actively harm him. If certain people try to heal him they're gonna get a lot of "OWOWOW" yelling.

Please continue to have Murphy confuse Thanatos. His confusion brings me joy.

[personal profile] zombiemessiah 2021-05-31 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I have no doubt he will. If he ever gets to hang out with Zag he'll bring up Than's nice hair for sure, too.
controlsthedie: long hair Thanatos with small smile (死んでください♥~)

[personal profile] controlsthedie 2021-05-31 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no. And then Murphy will get to learn that Than used to have long hair
