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!

Name: [your name]
Contact info: [anything you want to share]
Character: [name]
About them: [canon, a brief description of who they are, any specific permissions]
Plans: [got anything in the works?]
CR wanted: [anything specific?]
Things to avoid: [just so lines can be drawn]

Avie | Thanatos | Red
Contact info: (Pacific Time)
Character: Thanatos
About them: From Hades, Red Team point of contract (neither he or Otoha consider themselves leaders), Death Incarnate who is actually a nice guy (but also tsundere and emotionally confused) but is still learning how to be his own person instead of just his job as God of Gentle Death and more.
He's been here since the start of Jelly and is often accompanied by a moving plush mouse (Mort) who squeaks and wants to
FITEprotect Thanatos. Than can often be found in the quiet car, giving himself a break from feeling ill and overwhelmed by all the sensations he feels on the surface (vs the Underworld). He'll also be found in the greenhouse car, enjoying the green life there.Plans: So... uh, he has a boyfriend now! (What does he do now??) And there is hope that after all this, Thanatos might be able to have a life instead of just being Death. Despite being sad that he couldn't stay at home longer, it's still a net plus overall. Thanatos is also trying to learn how to people because holy hell he learned that he did not want to sacrifice everything he's grown to cherish.
He's also one of the healers (heavily itemed based but still healer). Thanatos trusts the Ministry and the train because so far they are trying to help his world and its lack of death due to his presence on the train.
CR wanted: Open to a lot of CR ideas. I am going to try to keep things on the lighter side this month because of RL things.
Things to avoid: Do not try to restrain him, especially by grabbing his wrists or shoving him into a small space. Thanks, Sisyphus. You took a perfectly good death godling, gave him a month shackled in a box, and now he has trauma and a lot of insecurities. And the train made it worse.
Other: Than also has a permissions post for characters who have connections to death (though more for potential thread/CR ideas as Than has given up trying to understand this train) and also for Hades game spoilers if that's something you're worried about.

Yondu will probably notice that something seems different about Thanatos, but while he seems out of his element, whatever's going on is not bad either.
