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: Elidibus
About them: Millennia-old ancient being, generally very god-like powers. Walking FFXIV Spoiler (Currently Shadowbringers expac Spoilers but will slowly be creeping into Endwalker territory in the coming OOC months).
Plans: The last event of the month of Poi saw many individuals returned briefly to their worlds. During these events Elidibus died in a way that was very taxing and beyond the train's revival mechanic to fully restore. While he will be recovering from the normal exhaustion by the first platform of Quicksand (similar to the recovery of people who did anchoring duty), the tax on reserves/power will take much longer to recover from and thus he is going to be considerably weakened barring any extenuating circumstances.
Because of this he's going to be cautious. But people who would normally be able to pick up on his level of power/soul/spirit/energy are going to be able to tell. The difference is currently VERY dramatic. He is very vulnerable. He knows it. Others will know it. While he won't be completely bereft of power and ability, it won't be the overpowering strength he had before.
CR wanted: Positive and negative CR are fine! New and old are fine! Elidibus has gone through two huge upheavals and tends to compartmentalize extremely well. But setting aside his personal feelings, there's plenty of reason to wonder how dangerous his current state is. Some people might even have cause to wonder what he'd do to recover (looking at WoL and Zenos posse).
Or whether, if one has reason to, it is the time to take advantage of his weakened state. Maybe it's just a time to approach when he's not so frightening a presence.
Things to avoid: While I'm down for the dramatic, please talk to me about plans! I'm big on OOC communication. I'm not big on drama for drama's sake to the extreme or having him by the target of negative CR only because he's a villain of his series. There are definitely people who have a good reason to not like Elidibus though. So reach out if you wanna!
