August 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 Merriment. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is "Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something".
This means: Any thread where you tag into another character's post or top level will earn you two bonus points during July and August.
Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during August 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 coconut. 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: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Purple: Meal Preparation
Red: Laundry
Orange: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
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 to which you are adding. There is also a handy spreadsheet here!
When passengers return to the train after picking up new arrivals they will find sleeper carriage 5 has been removed- the four passengers from that carriage have been reassigned to different cabins, though no room-mates have been split up.
They is a slight change to the armoury- additional communal lockers- one for each team and a multi team locker. Information about that can be found on the settings page and the list of communal supplies can be found here.
Important Dates
This month’s event will be a train event running between the 12th and 17th of August.
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 30th.
For a reference, please consult our calendar post. For player-led events, please see the player plot calendar.
Other Info
The shop has been updated with Large Items. Points have been updated on the roster.
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.
Thank you as ever to both Ree and Nat for their help with NPCs in the last mission. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and who welcomed our 4th wall guests.
For anyone who missed it- please read over the consequence notes for the end of So Familiar a Gleam.

Usagi's Crew! [Potato, Emporio, Jonouchi, Kiyoiri]
Contact info:
POTATO
About them: A 'homunculus' from the Fate/ universe, though they do not follow many of the typical rules of such beings at all. Her creator made her to have an indefinite lifespan, and she's similarly an indestructible 'self perpetuating battery' that essentially takes ambient magic from the air and stores it away to live off of. (She has quite a lot stored away too, so she won't be dying even while here in the not-so-magical train)
A cheery, bouncy little thing, it's easiest to say that she's a learning AI that her 'Granny' put together and then hit 'go' on- gathering information from cartoons, people around her, and so on, she's a very naive little thing who occasionally comes out with some surprisingly wise remarks and takes. She's also about 3 feet tall, with a tail of 4 feet, and looks rather like a stuffed toy, so.
Plans: Plans?? Very little! Over time due to the 4th Wall consequences, Potato will be leaning into cartoon physics more and more, but that's about it. Mostly she's going to be the same cheerful, over-excited and distracted little thing she always is...though she might be a bit more try-hard about boosting the moods of those around her if she notices too much gloom.
CR wanted: Honestly Potato's pretty flexible (heh), so she's by far the most 'muck around and find out' for CR plans. Actually, things are rarely if ever planned for Potato! So ultimately the only thing I really have is a request for people who...will probably benefit most from a Potato's Potatoness!
Things to avoid: I can't really think of anything, and if there's triggers coming up in thread I'd either ask to add a warning or simply politely prod on the spot so no one should have to worry about anything throwing me for a severe loop. (I'll be using this section on the others as a spot to note out any opt-outs or character specific triggers to be aware of)
EMPORIO
About them: Emporio is a pretty intelligent kid, though he's also used to being rather on his own- he's not very familiar with how kids act and enjoy themselves, and while he's trying, seems to be more experienced talking to adults. That aside, he still visibly has a child's attitude, and he's starting to learn how to act more like one. On the flipside, he also takes helping with missions very seriously, particularly since he doesn't believe he has anything to go back to if he leaves the train- so to him, this is his home! As such, he works to make sure he can be useful where he can, practicing with his Stand in particular where he can. (More on that is in his spoiler link though)
Plans: Emporio did a fair amount of ground work during the event, and now the consequences are going to be coming out. Ultimately his power in Jinnjar was 'energy gathering', so even the slips from it won't really be apparent this particular month; which is good because frankly he needs to deal with how many of the people he's close to got so heavily sucked in and/or affected by the mess.
CR wanted: Currently a chunk of his roomies dropped, which means he must now befriend THE NEW ONES...inevitably as the first cabin in line, it's the first one filled after all. Beyond that, there's of course going to be some nonsense fall out from the prior event, so strengthening the consequences on CR there is also key.
Things to avoid: Emporio is a Walking Spoiler, and as such has an opt-in/opt-out here. Beyond that, there's not really a whole lot that phases the kid...unfortunately.
JONOUCHI
About them: A highschool student with a pastlife that's started to finally settle down on what the consequences to his current one are, Jonouchi is for the most part a street-smart goofball, who takes friendship and protecting his friends seriously, and has a bad habit of maybe speaking and swinging before actually stopping to do some thinking. While his occasional visions and past experiences have helped to instill an edge of paranoia that can at least get him to pause, it doesn't always happen as much as it should. That aside, he's here from another world that he fell into first, and he brought with him a pokemon! And then he bought more pokemon! And...now there's a dragon in his shadow?? Hm.
Plans: Suffice to say, Jonouchi's going to be a bit heavily affected by all of this. The greater part of things is just the fact that it all happened; Jinnjar didn't have hold of his head very long, but a lot of his time from there was spent kind of floundering as he tried to help everyone out. It all ended well, but between how many were so heavily affected by false lives, and how many are just...leaving the platform after the fact, he can't remain entirely positive. He'll try though! He's going to be doing some pokemon stuff with other people as an example, and uh...
Well other than that he kind of got slammed hard in the final fight with Chaos, and can't actually clearly remember most of it as a result. Which is to say, he spent a good amount of time in triage followed by the infirmary actually, and he's only really now getting his bearings back- people are quite free to notice.
CR wanted: Jou's a bit all over the place, but given the power hold over and eventual bleed, the build up of CR toward anyone who can eventually help with Oops! Dragons! is always good. Also always good are pokemon shenanigans, because who doesn't love those?
Things to avoid: As Jonouchi is a seer, he has A Permissions Page here. As well, it should be noted that in tags I tend to use his first name for the sake of narration- however, it's quite fine for others to stick to Jonouchi.
Also I swear I'll update his info page aaaaaaInformation on his pokemon can be found on the Pets directory.

You sound like you need someone to yank you out of trouble

also he may have burned all his shirts, (realistically that's like a month down the road jhgkvlfd)
Kiyoiri
About them: Kiyoiri is a clone with a particularly dark upbringing, or at least it was for the first literal two years of her life. Ultimately she got outta there, but since she's only been alive for 5 years- something people will ABSOLUTELY notice if they look her up on the roster- it's still taking a bit to shake that off. She's visibly dull on the emotions side, even while she starts to learn and develop her passions. The whole 'the world ended' thing doesn't quite help, but she means well and she does her best to do well, to the point where she's particularly dedicated to act as medical help during any missions.
She's accompanied by a sort of automated familiar left from an OC Heroic Spirit; 'Takechirou' for all purposes appears to be a typical crow, capable of vocal mimicry, but occasionally he might mirror a Heroic Spirit/Servant instead.
Plans: Off in the lovely background, there's going to be some ~In Cast Drama~ going on...while she remains (somewhat) oblivious. Ooo! But on her end of things, there's New Cast stuff too! Izo, who was on the Fourth Wall, will be coming in, and she'll be quite happy to introduce him to others to more easily cut out any possible troubles before they begin. She's primarily going to be settling into the train more properly though, as she only really had a few days on either end of the event. Given her involvment with Chaos, she's handling things quite well; and over all will simply focus on wearing her new clothes from Kumoko in, while planning on what to buy with her points. Right now she has 30- so one of the options is a photo album? But she's only 14 away from her medpack on the other hand...
She'll probably actually sign on for the White Squad now that there's actual time.
CR wanted: Kiyoiri is relatively new, and much of the month (ICly two weeks) after her arrival were spent in the AU world at that- so ultimately, new CR and development on the slow starts are especially welcome! In particular, those who she can bond with over shared interests are great.
Things to avoid: As a fair warning, while Kiyoiri is generally pretty good about recognizing that certain topics from her mouth, do not particularly make people happy, there's going to undoubtedly be times where she sort of slips on the fact that wow! It's not great that a group of kids had to deal with the end of the world and all the attrocities therein.
Perhaps more important, is that one of the greatest ways to make a conversation begin tensely is to point out her resemblance to Conan...and then stick to it. Fair warning.
Kiyoiri has an opt-in/opt-out in any case, being an AU character, and a Clone at that.
A FINAL NOTE...! While Kiyoiri's incoming 'super power' isn't really much (she can summon spirits. Ooooo.), her existing one is; her natural magical 'origin' is 'Opposition'- while I will ALWAYS ask in any situation beyond an NPC thread when this comes up, it essentially acts as a form of relative magical resistance and elemental negation. Did you do something water based? She can treat herself, unconsciously, as its opposite and therefore avoid the worst of it. Did you just throw paper while playing rock-paper-scissors? She has probably subconsciously picked scissors, very sorry. Her opt-in can be used to make any statements on things that could come up as a result of/against that ability.
