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.

Character: Haneul Min
About them: Aspiring singer and dancer who signed on the wrong dotted line and instead ended up as the experiment of a rogue governmental group and fused with a captive spirit before escaping. Still adjusting to no longer being human, as well as to the consciousness of the captured spirit, Lucy, who is mostly hanging out in the back of his head. His powers revolve mostly around light (with a side of postcognition, something he could do pre-fusion), and are fueled by light and sound. The postcognition is touch-activated, which occasionally causes him problems. Spent his entire life being able to perceive spirits and ghosts while getting no instruction whatsoever in how to properly deal with them, which also causes him problems. Has a first impressions/permissions post here. Team/Car/Cabin: Orange Team, Sleeper Upper Four, Cabin C.

Plans: Recovering from the last mission, after not being able to do much of anything on it because I failed at getting toplevels up the illusions kept giving him flashbacks and Lucy didn't have the patience for mapping. He also wants to learn more about the train and how things work on it, and would like to learn to avoid a repeat of what he went through this mission, since he hated feeling so useless.

CR wanted: He could definitely use some friends, because he's badly missing his own. Fellow musicians and/or dancers, people who have experience with supernatural entities (or are such entities themselves), people around his age, people who have previous experience with rebuilding after having their lives turned upside down... he's not picky, really. He is also realizing he should probably learn to fight properly, since right now all he's got is lasers and light constructs - which are certainly not nothing, but still.

Things to avoid: ICly, he's still touchy about being identified as a supernatural entity, and he and Lucy would react badly to mind control and/or experimentation. Aside from that, I can't really think of anything.

How would he feel about meeting a teenager who's fused with a ghost in a very different way?

Some combination of sympathetic and appalled, probably. Setting aside the potential causes behind such a fusion, he mostly remembers that it really, really hurt.

Sounds like it could definitely be an interesting meeting then!

Danny's used to brushing it off with an "oh yeah, there was an accident and I might have died? But hey I can fly now so its all cool." It'll be interesting having him meet someone who knows what it feels like.

Haneul's main coping method since he's been on the train has been to not talk about it at all, so Danny's one up on him there. But yeah - it does sound like it'd make an interesting meeting.

Xichen can offer some soothing music which might help Lucy as well, to calm him down after the mission...

Lucy will probably be sarcastic about it, but Haneul will appreciate the effort.
