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!

Contact info: PM or
Character: Cipher Nine (Aden Nahain)
About them: Former member of the Chiss Ascendancy's secret police except maybe not for realsies former and more like current. It is a mystery. Current head of Intelligence operations for the Sith Empire. Despite having about as much Force sensitivity as a brick, he's more or less the Chosen One for his era of galactic history, much to his chagrin. People whose asses he's kicked range from Dark Councilors, to favored child of the Force and Man Who Keeps Dying and Coming Back to Piss Aden Off Personally aka Revan, to the literal eldritch horror and parasite known as the former Sith Emperor who even tried to take over Aden's meatpuppet there for a hot second. Didn't work out too well for him and the experience was miserable for both of them.
TL;DR - The galaxy is a wonky supermarket trolley going off of a cliff, and Aden is the balloon tied to the handle that definitely should not be capable of slowing the galaxy's fall down and yet somehow is anyway. Angrily screaming the entire descent too. Leaving things to Aden might be like letting a feral racoon loose in the vents and expecting something positive to come out of it, and yeah. Somehow that's working out fine for everyone involved. Somehow.
Plans: For him to settle a bit more probably. Expect him to be doing a lot of cooking too. He'll be cranky about it, especially considering... Everything... But. Cooking! Feeding himself and other people! His favorite thing to do! And also cleaning. He'll also be looking to learn more about the people around him, be that by initiating contact or by just lurking.
CR wanted: Anything and everything! Especially people who can keep up with his snarky attitude, but seriously, just. /grabby hands at more CR
Warning that his snark might be a bit sharper by now since someone doesn't have access to his fancy nearly unlimited painkillers from home (and he suffers from chronic pain due to a tiny brainwashing incident in his youth), but he'll still be careful to not step on any toes he shouldn't at least. He'll also still be modifying his behavior to be more gentle with those he sees as children, so there's that for anyone with younger characters who might worry about Aden's whole... issue with being a rather nasty person a lot of the time.
Things to avoid: Anything romantic would be an IC no-no, since he's married at home.
Notes: Should anyone be uncomfortable with mentions of drug use, please lmk so I can avoid having it come up should we thread o/
Same goes for the darker themes that come with being aligned with the Sith Empire (though he likely won't openly discuss it).

Who may also know how to make supernatural medicines/painkillers.

And very appreciative of any painkillers, supernatural or otherwise. Poor guy's had a migraine ever since arriving.
