IC Month
This month is the month of Quicksand. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is "I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light."
This means: Any thread where you tag new CR will earn you two bonus points in March and April.
Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during April 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 Pineapple. 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:

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!
The following changes have been voted on this month:
~ The cinema now has allows characters to watch documentaries. It is an eclectic mix of subjects from sports to history of random worlds to 'how it works' series.
~ Each new character will now arrive with a basic first aid kit- the contents are adjusted for species. It also includes some basic painkillers suited to the character as well as any medication that character requires. Old characters will also be receiving the same and regular refills will arrive just like with the wash kits.
~ There is now a selection of meat in the stores including venison, chicken, turkey, bacon, turkey bacon and cod. These will be refreshed each month.
All this has been updated on the recipe, cinema and gameplay pages.

Other Info
~ As can probably be guessed, we are at a part in the plot where the stakes are ramping up quite a bit. We are nearing the end of 'chapter four' of the game which will come to a climax in April. We will make sure that there is time after April for characters to catch their breath and recoup but its going to be a bumpy couple of months (for the characters not for you players, hopefully you guys are going to have a blast...)
~ The roster has been updated with points for this month.
~ A reminder about the 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. Everyone gets 5 votes to start and new characters will be allowed to swap their initial 3 points for a vote if wish in their first month only.
~ From next month the voting pool will close for votes at the same time as AC closes and re-open when the platform post goes up. This is to give the mods some leeway in getting new changes up in time for the info post. So make sure to get those votes in in good time!
~ We have been trying to do EMP regularly- please let us know any cast mates you would like in the thread below!

Character: Hunk
About them: Cabin L3:B
Hunk is a paladin of Voltron, pilot of the yellow lion and guardian of Earth. He's definitely in the reluctant savior category, not wanting to have been chosen but answering the call because he likes to make people happy and will be doing much the same here. He loves to cook, and food and engineering are his two biggest talents. He's got experience saving planets and just climbed out of an intergalactic war with a warrior race run by ancient corrupted tyrants.
Plans: I just want to get him settled. I'm not particularly out to make enemies for him since he's pretty soft-hearted. I mostly want to make him some friends and maybe give him some projects that he'll believe in that he can invest in. That'll go a long way to getting him settled in.
CR wanted: Any of the above. People who do science. People who are nerds. People who do high fantasy magic. People who like to make food. People that can put up with puns.
Things to avoid: Anything particularly outwardly malicious. He's new and soft and I want to take it easy on him.
Character: Yondu
About them: Cabin UD2:B
Yondu's been around on the train for a while. He's put the souls of his crew to rest and during the last event he found out that his people commemorated him, which he didn't expect but he's glad to know. He didn't get in contact with anyone, though.
Now he's even more concerned about what's going to happen to them all. He's been trying to help people find out information on the Ministry and the Void to the best of his ability, as well as find resources that aren't Ministry specific.
Plans: He's getting a Celebi named Twig that he'll be trying to get used to having around. I need to have him talk more to T'Challa to find out what happened in his universe (since he finally admitted to Vegeta that he has an AU son around and needs advice). He's going to be helping Vegeta out with his own monkeyshine thing. Mid-month or so he's going to be asking people that have been around for a while about dreams they had early on, prior to his time, so he can make a compilation of themes and present them to some useful NPC or another in full "What the hell is all of this?!" glory.
CR wanted: He gets a little catty but he's a team player, and definitely wants to work towards a common goal. So people he can get behind or work alongside are both wonderful. If your character needs fatherly/mentor protecting or "are ya winnin' son" encouragement, he's also your guy.
Things to avoid: The usual. I don't like disabling/letting other people control his arrow or doing mind-control unless it's discussed a lot beforehand.

I also just kind of want CR with Kitty and Hunk? I dunno, they just seem like they would get along, and it could be pretty cute
no subject
Yondu'll be glad to see her. I know we haven't got around to it in the thread, but I do intend for Yondu to tell T'Challa that people started being affected by void dreams. So he doesn't know how things are going to go for all of them. And maybe if they talk later he can be like, "Yeah Thanos still has his plan and Nebula is extra special fucked up, sorry."
no subject
Man, he'll definitely be sad to hear that. But it's good that he knows anyway
