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.

Death

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2021-12-31 06:37 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: Depending on what they can learn about tethers, possibly judging the train a bit... She's a good person to have around in an existential crisis

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 so far the train is the one at greatest risk of Time for Death's Opinion

I will have to get Will to meet Death. He's a member of a group of immortal magical beings who are unable to die, and who also exist with the purpose of stopping another group from interfering with the future of humanity.

Also he's thirteen, on Team Red, and far too solemn and serious.

At some point, Ryo needs to catch up with Death and excitedly tell her that his powers have changed, that he can lay wayward souls to rest, and he's so happy, because she helped him before and he wants her to know that it's all good now.
