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.

Ghost | Purple
About them: Local passive telepath alien-human hybrid; usually human-passing, but as of the mission anyone who cared to turn into the comms will be aware that that's only human-passing. Generally cagey about his telepathy (perms here, please fill them out!!!!) but otherwise very friendly and relatively open about shit. Mission hit him hard but mostly because the city was sensory overload hell, rather than the illusions themselves being bad. Also important for people new to interacting with him - Ghost is almost entirely nonverbal and 'speaks' with a technopathy-to-speech voice synth on his Better Than Modern smart phone.
Plans: 1. Giant cat. No, seriously, that's his only platform purchase right now (he's still working through his books from last time). I was even lucky enough to find a size ref in the right color. Rory (short for Rorschach) is going to really live up to her "medium animal" status. Ghost is going to be carrying her around for most of the post-platform part of the day and randomly depositing her in the arms of anyone who feels bad (except Mono because let's be real, she weighs more than the lil guy does).
2. Hey if you want to talk about him outing himself as an alien and being spooky all over the end of the mission? Yeah that's maybe a thing your character can talk about with him. It's sure out there in the wild now, not that he was intentionally hiding it so much as just not talking about it unless questioned, but. Yeah.
3. Have you ever wanted to see a picture of your brain? Good news, alien neuroscience nerd can provide! There will be an open network post about this the day of/after platform (I get my covid stab tomorrow morning so we'll see how much my ass gets kicked), but Ghost got a brain imaging laser LAST platform that didn't get put to use yet with the mission and all.
4. Slightly related to 3, but he's been studying psych and specifically trauma and will also be putting himself out for anyone who wants to talk shit out with someone who can, even if he doesn't know what he's doing, at least competently pretend. This may come along with taking over a quiet car room as an 'office' for when he's on-duty. He's not going to try to drag anyone into talking so much as sticking out an offer and seeing who bites, though.
Oh, and he gets a new roommate this month.
Things to avoid: Super-strongly negative CR, otherwise I'm good with whatever. Also, people who will out his passive-telepathing super widely since he mostly keeps that under wraps for his own (perceived) safety.

I'm all about the xenoanatomy so let's have some fun.
As usual, always up for threads with Murphy since he likes Ghost as much as he likes Doc in his native canon, which is a lot.

Will also need the cat comfort. And comfort in general. But if anybody gives Ghost a hard time about the alien spookiness they're gonna get an angry cyborg on their case.
no subject
tbh soldat is likely to get nominated as rory's godparent because Ghost is extremely practical and trusts them a lot in terms of "takes care of things"

THAT ASIDE, Danny does get secret identities. Even though he only made it, like, a month before everyone on the train knew what he was. He'll be very easy to talk into keeping secrets.
Re: Ghost | Purple
3. I think almost all of mine are interested in that though he'll have to explain what it is to Caleb.
4. Casper can toss his grief therapy book over at Ghost.

aka Zag has never been introduced to a cat beforeAsch | Blue(ish)
About them: [deep breath] Magical energy being called a "blade," most adjacent to Steven Universe gems but with a bonus Magical Bond part and a JRPG elemental magic system. (He's currently bonded to the Jade from his AU who is also here.) Escaped a hugely abusive situation with his last bond partner by straight up murdering the guy, motivated by the need to protect his twin brother. Dealing a lot with being a fish out of water timeline-wise and technology-wise, because while his age on the roster is >1000, he spent 1001 years as a rock with no awareness of the passage of time. ALSO has permissions here, for elemental magic detection and also his Actually Genuinely Supernatural Intuition. Also openly one of the train's magical healers, helped Red Team on that front last mission before everything went tits up.
Plans: Got nothing concrete for this guy, really. He's still kind of in throw him where he sticks mode. Generally he has to go around explaining blades a lot and might make a "Blades 101" pamphlet that he can just. Hand to people instead of explaining constantly, since no other world has blades and he's getting tired of repeating himself!
CR wanted: Whatever whatever! I'm looking to maybe get him talking to some of the other healers + the Blue leaders, but I'm open for Stuff, basically.
Things to avoid: Shit that's triggering in "similar to my abuser" ways, usually people acting in an authoritarian way towards him with implied threats, ESPECIALLY from adult men and/or light-aspected characters.
