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.

Name: Daimon
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] dropitlikeitshod, daimon#1067

Character: K'zeka Tia
About them: Catboy Warrior of Light OC from the world of Final Fantasy 14 who really hates how restrictive and boring the train is. Specifically the train, though, not the residents, because they're interesting. Always either in motion or asleep, mostly the former. He has a permissions post here for Echo shenanigans if you want to opt in/out of those.

Plans: He's going to get his Dancer Soul Crystal this platform, which is a bigger deal for him than it is for anyone else. But he still won't have any weapons he's used to for that class, so he might commission Elidibus someone to make a pair of chakrams for him to use in battle. I plan to have him offer leather and/or woodworking commissions himself this month, on the stipulation that people...get him the materials....

CR wanted: Anything, come at me!
Things to avoid: Don't kill him? Nothing really.

/offended Q'uila noises

Like that silly Ascian could craft a better set of Chakrams than her.
catti: (yeah!!)

[personal profile] catti 2021-12-31 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Even better! He would rather get weapons from her anyway.

Naoya will join Zeka in going wtf at Zenos

Also I really should Echo him at some point
catti: (echo)

[personal profile] catti 2021-12-31 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You should, he hasn't had a headache in a while.

If he sees Zenos on the platform, he's going to go immediately look for anyone who might know about him to warn them.

Lea'll definitely be interested to have another chakram user around. Maybe they can spar sometime. :3
catti: (:))

[personal profile] catti 2022-01-01 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
They should! He'd like having a sparring partner.
