Entry tags:
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.

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)
