March 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 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:
Blue: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Purple: Meal Preparation
Red: Laundry
Orange: 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!

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.

Important Dates
This month’s mission will run from the 13th to 26th of March.

The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th March and AC from the 23rd to the 30th March.

For a reference, please consult our calendar post. For player-led events, please see the player plot calendar.

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!

Lioriley | Original | orange

[personal profile] invigorates 2022-02-28 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Lioriley
About them:
TLDR INFO
PERMISSIONS
Lioriley is a talented Lunari mage specializing in alchemy (water) and mending (healing) magics. Like all Lunari she was born on a magical place of power that gave her enhanced magical abilities and the glowing lines on her skin that pulse with her heartbeat, and react to her moods by dimming or brightening. She is gentle and motherly and a huge nerd who wants to learn as much as she can about everyone and everything she comes across. Her past is littered with death and disaster but she heaves her own burdens without complaint to others while taking on their problems too. Could definitely kick ass but chooses not to.
Plans:
★ During the rescue mission Lioriley compiled her own personal list of the passengers, taking names from the roster, asking around herself, and recruiting people to give her basic information on people she didn't know or couldn't pin the location of. She primarily used it for the rescuing so she knew who went home, who tethered, etc. But she still has it and while i probably won't have her use it overmuch, i just wanted to make people aware that she might recognize people from pictures or catch names even when not introduced prior. Shes also going to update it on platforms and will continue to keep notes on people she talks to. If you want to avoid this lmk but tbh im an idiot and might forget myself half the time so LOL.
★ Shes going to be a common face in the medical and library cars, and very rarely in her cabin unless forced to do a sleep.
★ also, besides the forced sleep the train demands, she will be dragging herself around regardless because everyone is more important than her.

CR wanted:
★ Friends!
★ Fellow scholars/nerds
★ Fellow magic users and magical people (human or non! she does not care what you are but if you have magic she wants to know about it)
★ People she can adopt
★ I am not going to lie I'm a shippy bitch and I hunger for romance and cute shit even if Lioriley would be baffled by anyone having a crush on her. (She's demisexual as hell and monogamous I'm aware no one asked but I'm saying it anyway)
★ I'm not gunning for negative CR but I'm also not against it if it develops naturally. Good luck though you really got to be a piece of shit to get on her bad side.
Things to avoid: idk don't murder her or whatever

How would Lio feel about chatting with Rezo about magic stuff? He is definitely going to be investigating the medical and library cars a lot.

More than happy to participate in magic talk!! I am not familiar with the canon beyond random things from my friends over the years but of he is a magic nerd she is all in. I'll probs top-level on the platform post - or I can hit yours up if you do one. Either way!!
redprayer: (little fiends on halloween)

[personal profile] redprayer 2022-02-28 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He is 100% a magic nerd and is going to be very "Oooh" about all the Shiny New Magic around. I don't mind a lack of canon familiarity either.

I'm planning on top-leveling on the platform post but I don't know quite what his'll look like yet, so either way is good for me too!
invigorates: (The fisting icon is getting really huge.)

[personal profile] invigorates 2022-02-28 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
If there's one good thing this godforsaken train has given her (beardies friends) it's the chance to learn about new cool magics.

Fair enough! We'll play it by ear.

This isn't a very important note but I glanced at Lioriley's info and am amused that she's a) very tiny (Rezo doesn't have a canon height but I estimate him to be around six feet so there's going to be a bit of "why is there a voice coming from the floor") and b) way older than him! Far from the only one on the train but that's going to be a little weird for him even if they do have long-lived elves in his canon.
invigorates: as long as girls are watching (Anything might be worth doing)

[personal profile] invigorates 2022-03-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'll have you know size differences are very important to me LMAOjskdks.

Haha yeah she talks like a woman who's seen a lot of shit and has been around a while so the image in my head is math equations floating around rezos head while he tries to figure out why the small lady is talking like an old bitch is hilarious.

Also if he ever mentions wanting a cure for his blindness she'd totally try and help him??? Just don't...mention that other bad shit. Or do. Cause i love drama.

Size differences are CRUCIAL. Not for anything in particular, just CRUCIAL.

Rezo doesn't really get mental images since he has never learned how to use eyesight at all but if he had he'd probably imagine Lioriley looking something like this for a while. (Except her voice probably doesn't quite have that wavery, older person quality.)

He probably won't mention that mainly because he knows what the cure is now and unfortunately, as far as he's aware, the cure sucks. He will be interested to know if Lioriley could potentially kill a god though!

As for the, uh, crimes, he won't bring them up first but if she's persistent about prodding he may slip a few things and he won't try to deny anything if she directly asks things like "Hey this person told me you did X, Y, and Z, is this true?"
invigorates: (i hear flower crowns are popular rn)

[personal profile] invigorates 2022-03-01 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
youre right and you should say it

IM FUCKING HOWLING HAHA yeah she is pretty soft spoken and def doesn't sound like an old lady but im crklsdfnmsaklfjds god thats so funny

She has fought god-level mages but that was with a bunch of other people with her so UNSURE. But you know. Why not give er the old college try.

good and bad news, as interested as she is in people and learning about them and their worlds and their backstories and shit shes of the mind that if she pries to hard theyll ask about her in turn. and while she doesnt have any horrific crimes to confess to, she also doesnt like talking about herself because she is sad and her world is garbage and makes her even more sad LOL. but you know. it could happen! i just wing everything!!

alistair | dragon age: origins | purple

[personal profile] kingsquest 2022-02-28 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Alistair Theirin
About them:
Alistair is a Grey Warden, Warrior, and bastard son to the King of Ferelden. he absolutely does not want to inherit his birthright because he does not see himself as a capable leader. He is a simple man who wants to do good by fighting monsters, protecting people, and making really bad puns.
For those familiar with the canon, he is coming in just before the Landsmeet and is unromanced and unhardened, the latter of which really just means that if he meets anyone from home that says he's King he'll just whine about it.
Plans:
★ he's new so I'm down for whatever.
CR wanted:
★ friends! Enemies! Frenemies! Alistair doesn't get along well with people who are generally assholes for the sake of being assholes and will snark back if they snark at him. It's not super hard to get into his good graces but like, don't be a dick??? (Or do because it's funny)
★ fellow warriors! Let's have a good friendly sparing match or sth.
★ other sarcastic/jokester characters so they can riff lol
★ as with Lioriley I'm a sucker for romance and Alistair is a virgin idiot who doesn't know how to talk to women and this is hilarious.
Things to avoid: don't murder him!! I guess!!!
