October 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 Nebula. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "Make new friends, but don’t forget the old, One is silver, the other is gold.".

This means: Threading with the same character twice this month will earn you two bonus points. As a note it is possible to earn this more than once with the same character (if you thread with them four times, you will get the bonus twice) however we still expect people to mix and thread with a variety of people!

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during October 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 yadon (slowpoke) tail (a strange, tough, gamy meat). 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:

Purple: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Red: Meal Preparation
Orange: Laundry
Blue: 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!

Important Dates

This month’s event will run between 13th and the 19th of October. There will be a sign up portion of the event and information about that will go up in the next week.

The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 18th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th, AC is 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

~ You may have noticed our game board makeover! If anyone is struggling with any colours or sizing please come let us know. Same thing goes for the events and missions- we’ve been playing with layouts and styles and we know that ongoing initially was a bit hard to parse, apologies for that. We aren’t master html coders so letting us know any issues you have with style will help us get it right!

~ Our Gameplay and Setting pages have been given a revamp!

~ We have reformatted and rewritten the FAQ adding in questions that have been asked during the games run.

~ We are planning to put up an advertisement on Enable Me Pls this next month. There’s a top level below for you to let us know any characters you would like to see in game.

~ Many thanks to Ree for her work on this mission! Thanks also to Avie for NPC handling! As a reminder if anyone wishes to try their hand at NPCing we accept applications!

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2021-09-30 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Kia
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] kiaxet or Kiaxet#7085

Character: Siebren de Kuiper (Sigma)
About them: From Overwatch, Orange team, sleeper U3A. An astrophysicist who had an accidental close encounter with a black hole, gained gravity powers, and lost his mind. He was then picked up by a terrorist organization to be their shield tank, and look, recent life has been tough on gravity grandpa. That said, he's intelligent and kind and perpetually interested in learning and lending a helping hand to other people's projects. He's also protective of his teammates, especially in dangerous situations.

Plans: He still needs to do some work with his Diagad powers (power augmentation), so he'd be up for that. Mostly, it looks like it's going to be a rough platform for a lot of people, so he'll be doing his best to be a steady presence for everyone else. He'll also be attending his son's wedding :D

CR wanted: Anything! Fellow responsible adults, scientists, people to help, people to snark at and be snarked at in turn, the whole nine yards. Variety is the spice of life.

Things to avoid: I'm trying not to break him, because that's no fun for anybody - if a thread starts looking like it's going in that direction, I may ask for a change. Aside from that, nothing!

Character: Ryo
About them: OC, Orange team, sleeper L2B. Teenage mage and healer who's had a rough life and has only recently gained some self-esteem and started building that backbone. (His world took a perfectly good healer and gave him a tragic backstory and now he has anxiety.) Compassionate and caring with a buried temper. Good at helping; bad at asking for what he needs in turn. Please hug him.

Plans: BOY OH BOY did somebody ever get wrecked on this past mission. 8D Ryo has quite a bit of emotional upset he's trying to work through, so he's not going to be as open this time around, and he's going to be absolutely emotionally devastated at platform, so there's That. He's going to do his best to help people, but he definitely won't be up to his usual standard. Only plans right now are to try to get him back on something resembling an even keel. He also still hasn't figured out his Diagad death-powers yet, so if someone death-related wants to clue him in that he even has those, that would be great.

CR wanted: Anything and everything! Parent him, be his friend or adoptive sibling, let him help you or heal you, teach him and be taught in turn, the works. Help him with his weird new powers, and he'll help you with yours. (He'll definitely be keeping an eye out for new healers to help them out.) A warning, though: if CR starts out negative, it might not recover; he holds a grudge.

Things to avoid: ICly, nothing; OOCly, just don't go linking me pictures of spiders.
Notes: Please fill out his permissions post!

If he's going to be hanging in the cabin a lot, Kitty will be willing to just sit and hang out with him a while.
fivemilesdeep: (But if we try this)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2021-09-30 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Day of platform, he'll probably be pretty much silent in the room and burrito under the covers a bit, which is really not normal for him. He'll talk about it if Kitty asks - he's actually desperate to feel better, but the person he wanted to talk to is the person who left, so he's kind of scared to bother anyone else about it.

So yes please hang with him and let him be a mess for a while. The boy needs help. ;~;

Awww ;-; She'll be glad to sit with him for a while. If he wants to burrito for a while, she can make them some hot cocoa

SO idk how helpful Tidus can be, but he can always come check up on Ryo, see how he's doing, especially if he looks like he's not so good during platform time. Tidus is also going to feel bad about Della leaving, but he can either just come for a short visit or whatever you feel like Tidus coming to check up on him can be.

Ryo is going to be openly crying on platform, soooo

/THUMBS UP

Honestly having someone there at all will help, so I am up for platform, or if your platform winds up being really busy, I am also up for Later. :|b
blitzcheer: (/)_(\)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2021-09-30 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
oh no, tears

But no I can have Tidus come and help him out there! I'm not top levelling and Tidus will know what to do for a crying Ryo (he thinks).

that is: hug.

Tidus is correct in his assessment :|b

Could a guy that is actually dead help Ryo out or does he need a death rep like Death? Or should Murphy order that zombie head as a small pet and use that?

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2021-09-30 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I figure anyone connected to death enough to be able to go "hey, you got a little death on you, is that supposed to happen?" would work, so if we want to say Murphy's powers can do that, I am up for it!

(Also Ryo would completely lose his shit at the zombie head - 'your world has a plague that makes revenants and you brought one into an enclosed space?!' I find this funny, but he would have a terrible day.)

"I duct taped its mouth!"

If it's cool I could make some excuse for it to work. Murphy vaccine powers are weird so maybe he can give him the mental itchies or something.

"How long do you think that's going to last?!"

Canon handwaves wildly as to what the vaccine can do, so I don't see why we can't do the same. :Db I am up for whatever!
