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!

Hera Syndulla

[personal profile] averyusefultray 2021-09-30 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Hera Syndulla

About them: Purple team, sleeper Upper 4D. She's rebel scum taken from about a year before the original trilogy kicks off. She's a talented pilot (not super relevant on a train but hey after Diagad she can fly without a vehicle), a pretty good tactician (actually relevant!) and fiercely protective of anyone she has decided is one of her people. She's Space Mom in a sea of dads on this train. :p

Plans: Exploring her slowly emerging flight powers. Teaching people the flight simulator. She'll be adding YT-1300 controls to the flight simulator at Leia's request so if anyone wants to fly th Millenium Falcon... she's going to be pretty sure the VCX is superior though. :P

Also she wants to know what's going on with all this old crew business

CR wanted: Adopting younger characters is in her nature. Fortunately for youthful protagonists her parenting style is "If I bring the impulsive kid WITH me to do the dangerous thing I at least can see them. If I tell them not to do the thing they will do the thing where I can't help them if they get in trouble."
She could also use Grownup Friends.

Things to avoid: Nothing comes to mind

Would Hera think to show Tidus some flight simulation fun? Because I would be into him being taught by Hera!

If he shows even the slightest interest she would try to get him to try it

Mordin Solus

[personal profile] theverymodel 2021-09-30 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Mordin Solus

About them: Sleeper Lower 2-D, Red team. Mordin is the very model of a scientist salarian. He's an old man who has regrets but is somewhat at peace with them because he's done what he can to set the mistakes of the past right. Yes, that's right, that's his canonpoint. He still loves science and wants to make things better, especially if he's the only one he's sure will do it right.

Plans: Not falling badly by the wayside like last month :p He's trying to figure out what he can get on the train to do a comparative genetic study of interdimensional humans. ALso Madoka convinced him to take up pottery?

CR wanted: Science people! Also people to discuss ethics with. Or music, tell him about your music.

Things to avoid: While he is very interested in everyone else having safe and healthy romantic relationships, he himself does not partake

Death

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2021-09-30 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Death

About them: Sleeper Upper 2, Red team. Will probably never do Red's actual mission. Death is a little ray of sunshine who loves you no matter what and will not judge. She's good at drawing people out and loves Disney movies. She doesn't sleep but knows mortals need that...

Plans: Her Diagad power is untangling which was just meant to be silly but might have some fun interpretations. She has Concerns about the recent revelations

CR wanted: Give me your difficult people, she'll draw them out. Give me your undead and your dead in canon people.

Things to avoid: ICly she won't like you much if you're a notably powerful being who meddles in mortal affairs but no one is quite on the scale that gets a REAL Time For Death's Opinion.

My undead person hasn't met Death yet but he is also a catty turd so I don't know how well that'd turn out.

Doubling up on both Death and Hera to say I'd like to hit them up with Yondu this month. With Della gone he has no one to miss the open skies with now.
