January 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 Poi. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is "If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your own path".
This means: Any thread where you tag into another character's post or top level in January or February will earn you two bonus points.
Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during February 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 Corned Beef. 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:
Orange: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Blue: Meal Preparation
Purple: Laundry
Red: 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 be an mission from the 15th to 28th of January.
The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th. AC is between the 23rd and the 30th.
For a reference, please consult our calendar post. For player-led events, please see the player plot calendar.
Other Info
~ The roster has been updated with points for this month.
~ When at the shop terminal the Voidtreckers will find a button in the corner that reads 'VOTING'. Selecting this will switch the page over from the shop to VOTING POOL. Exactly how it works is explained in detail on that page but it is a way for passengers to band together to buy larger or longer term items, including carriages themselves.
Every IC month (every two OOC months) characters will earn 5 votes which they can use to vote on additions to the train. If they wish they can spend points on additional votes (one vote is five points.) From February new characters will be allowed to swap their initial 3 points for a vote if wish in their first month only. To keep things fair everyone in game from 1st January and the launch of the voting pool will start with 6 votes.
Characters can also submit things for the voting pool. Everything is subject to mod approval before it is allowed to be voted on. Anything that reaches its vote goal will be fulfilled at the next station stop just like purchases from the shop.
~ The Story So Far has been updated.

elle days (courier six, au) - purple
About them:
- my new gal!
- the malleable protagonist of fallout: new vegas, so she's from a post-nuclear-apocalyptic desert wasteland where there was just recently a war over hoover dam and the surrounding area. uh, elle won. she didn't START OUT trying to win, but listen, a lot of things happen sometimes that just end with being the leader of an entire region! it's fine. no pressure or anything
- she only has about a years' worth of memories, due to having survived being shot in the head around then
- she's been through Some Pretty Weird And Wild Stuff during that year, so she can roll with weirdness punches fairly well. that said, things that are new to her are very exciting, and... well. there's. there's a lot that's going to be new to her, not because the train is full of weirdness, but more because she doesn't have a lot of experience or education with things more modern characters will take for granted
- fairly cheerful and energetic by default, but underneath that she's insecure about herself and deeply just wants people to Like Her. her hobbies are helping people, pulling risky stunts because they seem like a good idea at the time, playing poker, scavenging, poking her nose where it doesn't belong, and wearing pretty dresses
- while sensitive, awkward, and coming across as doormattish at times, there's a hell of a backbone hidden under all that fluff, and an ability to step up and be a leader. and she's got a knack for inspiring and bringing people together
- no powers, just a girl with a gun. or... rather... WITHOUT a gun, now. hm. awkward
- she's AU because she handles a particular NPC off the rails -- there's an AI who doesn't have free will, and her AU involves her making sure he gets free will before asking him to help her out
- she loves AI and robots... i joke about her being a Robots Rights Activist but she absolutely is. having had to start over from scratch with her own identity, she is huge about others' personhood in general
- info here: app, permissions (incl. opt out for canon content warning-worthy topics)
Plans: none, aside from roommate stuff. she'll be newly arriving and i ain't got nothin' in mind
CR wanted:
- honestly tho i will take anything. elle is a social butterfly who is easy to throw around at people, and she loves exploring and new things, and despite not being CRAU this is not her first rodeo waking up somewhere weird with no idea how she got there
- if you have a cranky/distrustful character who you want to get out more, elle is a great option for tossing at them. cranky/distrustful people are her favorites, and she has a lot of experience befriending people who don't think they want to be befriended
Things to avoid: —
no subject
no subject
and it is occurring to me just how much elle wouldn't blink at a giant half-human, all-spider person. she'd only blink because she hasn't seen one before, but otherwise will be like, "yeah, seems legit to exist." thanks, irradiated wasteland!
and, because of elle's personhood thing, she's just gonna talk to kumoko like normal right off the bat, too
no subject
being treated normally is her weakness, time for elle to be adopted
no subject
i was just talking with binky about how elle's adopted grandma is blue, so like... why not also add a spider to the family???
no subject
no subject
we obviously have to make this happen now
fallout and modern stuff is so funny, because like... some things are the same! elle knows what a car is, she knows what it looks like! but she doesn't know to do things, like, look both ways before she crosses the street. she has access to things like energy weapons and advanced robotics and AIs and auto-docs and... and... and she has no idea what a high school is. canonically, does not know what a high school is. or a chicago. she also didn't know what a fish was (she's learned since then, it's okay)
i'm just grateful she knows what a train is, man. but she sure af isn't going to know what corned beef is. luckily, she'll eat ANYTHING, so that's not a problem...
