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.

kyoko sakura (AU) | purple
Contact info:
Character: Kyoko Sakura (AU)
About them:
- a tsundere magical girl who acts all tough but actually has a soft melty center. fights with fire magic and a spear and she also has some illusion magic of her own that she's going to start working on getting better at (see Plans)
- Has a Tragic Backstory (tm) involving many content warnings, including a murdered family (by her own father), hunger issues, and youth homelessness. check her full permissions for more specifics
Plans:
- kyoko is getting ravager gear from yondu in an Official Adoption Ceremony (this is less of a joke than you might expect), and she's gonna be hella proud of it. so she's suddenly gonna have a badass red and black coat and a pin for her ribbon... and have no other clothes to match yet, rip
-- so she should definitely talk to people about getting some less clashing clothes to wear under her new coat until she can buy some new digs herself next month
- so, i think we can all agree that the finale Suckéd. kyoko's closest CR strengthened over the course of it, which will provide her with some stability there, but she's had a lot of old wounds (that never properly healed in the first place) reopened. and she doesn't exactly have the best coping mechanisms in the world, isn't necessarily great when it comes to talking about her feelings...
-- what i'm getting at here is she's going to do the miscreant teenager thing and act out...
-- she likes picking fights, but i want negative CR to be, like, planned, so if you also have a gremlin who's also going to be feisty, hit me up and let's see if we can get something to work
-- i do have plans for kyoko pickpocketing V's phone/agent off of him and getting caught, so like, theft is definitely on the table, too. she wouldn't be after weapons or anything like that, she'd just be... taking shit to take shit. and possibly putting it back where she found it or being like "haha hey i found this, is it yours?" afterwards, if she doesn't get caught. which, i'm definitely not against her getting caught anyway, bc she won't be really all THAT careful, partly bc she's hoping it'll lead to her egging someone into picking a fight with her (see above), so... THIS IS AN OPTION TOO
-- i might... look into... her trying to graffiti the train... maybe... i'm undecided, bc this isn't necessarily in her canon repertoire, but we'll see
- anyway, on top of misbehaving, she's going to begin to put in the work to get better at her illusion magic. it's an ability she lost access to due to [muffled long story that basically amounts to "trauma"], and one she started to get back by the time of her canon point. BUT she hadn't been using it at all up until last month, when she had a big damn hero moment rescuing yondu. she can make things look like other things, and create ninja copy style illusions of herself. tl;dr those of you who are wanting anti-illusion practice, maybe kyoko can help???
- common cars: dining (just chilling with access to food nearby) ; greenhouse / garden (closest thing to church peace she can get) ; gym (for training) ; games coach (playing pretty much anything) ; but she also just kind of wanders around a lot bc bored teenager. also she can naps literally anywhere, like a damn cat
CR wanted:
- i've mostly only focused on close cast CR and like, one other CR so far bc life. But this month, i really want to finally get her out there and meeting more people. gonna try to follow up on some potential and previously discussed CR, but i'm also looking for just fresh stuff, period
- seeking: fellow troublemakers to raise hell with ; sparring slash sass partners ; younger kids for her to big sister at ; she needs to learn that more than just one adult on the train is worth trusting ; anyone seeking a family connection will have to deal with her trust issues tho
Things to avoid: nothing comes to mind, but if a landmine comes up unexpectedly, i'll try to warn people so we can hash things out

anything in particular on my list you wanna take a bite at?

sparring DEFINITELY sounds like a good place to start! esp since it would give him a chance to get a good look at the soul gem, esp if he catches her at the start (aka right as she's transforming)
no subject
*(except Jade)
but YEAH. Maybe part of my platform shit for Asch can be "trying to figure out how to greatsword in the very limited space" or something. or some of those other weapons he doesn't use.
no subject
this reminds me that at some point kyoko should maybe look into non-magic weapons, for more situations like the last world where they couldn't/shouldn't use magic overtly... but she also wasn't out and about often enough dealing with that stuff, since she hung out with blue in video game land until the finale, so MAAYYBBEEE that's a thought for the future
no subject
I'm sure Yondu will have a serious discussion with her about acting out. But knowing him it'll take that "Ravagers don't steal from other Ravagers and crew counts rn" lean. Because they need to be able to trust each other at least a lil bit.

yondu learns enough about hair and gets a good close look at kyoko's and sees all the split ends like 8(
... actually though honestly a haircut would be some good closure for her, now that i think about it? not even a dramatic haircut. just a normal clean-up type
no subject
no subject
it's a gremlin child standoff
no subject
but I'M DOWN with this idea!! kyoko doesn't actually keep much in terms of belongings, but maybe we can say ken stole something she stole from somewhere else LOL
or... he makes off with one of her snacks, and she's like "where the hell did i put that"
no subject
He would not steal food from someone, just the train stores. He knows how it feels to get food stolen, so... nah.
no subject
no subject
but, definitely, always! did anything in particular on my list pique your interest?
no subject
As for what they could do, there's always getting help with illusions, being sparring/sass partners...
...could help her get some clothes since Hera suggested to Nozomi she could start sewing to expand herself away from being a copycat of herself.
no subject
the sewing thing is super cute!! kyoko can lament about not having things to match just kind of in passing while showing off her new coat and we can start that off that way :3
no subject
I should have a Nozomi catch-all soon so we can do things there?
