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!

Hera Syndulla

[personal profile] averyusefultray 2022-03-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Hera Syndulla
About them: Purple team, sleeper Upper 4D. She's rebel scum taken from about a year before the original trilogy kicks off. She's a talented pilot (not super relevant on a train but hey after Diagad she can fly without a vehicle), a pretty good tactician (actually relevant!) and fiercely protective of anyone she has decided is one of her people. She's Space Mom in a sea of dads on this train. :p

Plans: This event... was not kind to her. She's gotten confirmation that removing her from that moment was bad for Lothal. She, Yondu and Nozomi managed to improve some things but she is not in a good place after having to leave her family behind in an active warzone.

Hey team Purple you want some very determined dish doing after you cook right?

CR wanted: Right now she really needs some Grownup Friends to talk about this mess to. But it's still in her nature to mom, so she's always down for characters who need a parenting style of "If I bring the impulsive kid WITH me to do the dangerous thing I at least can see them. If I tell them not to do the thing they will do the thing where I can't help them if they get in trouble."

Things to avoid: ICly, touching the lekku will go over poorly but OOCly I'm not stopping you.

Leia will provide a grown up friend to talk to, with the bonus of actually understanding the situation without much explanation.

Death

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2022-03-01 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Death

About them: Sleeper Upper 2, Red team. Will probably never do Red's actual mission. Death is a little ray of sunshine who loves you no matter what and will not judge. She's good at drawing people out and loves Disney movies. She doesn't sleep but knows mortals need that...

Plans: The event actually didn't hit her too hard. She got confirmation that she's only a splinter of the concept and her universe is... well it's not fine, Flashpoint recentl happened, but that's Barry Allen's fault and the mortals are going to have to figure that one out on their own. So she's available for a listening ear.

CR wanted: Give me your difficult people, she'll draw them out. Give me your undead and your dead in canon people.

Things to avoid: ICly she won't like you much if you're a notably powerful being who meddles in mortal affairs but so far the train is the one at greatest risk of Time for Death's Opinion

Mordin Solus

[personal profile] theverymodel 2022-03-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Mordin Solus

About them: Sleeper Lower 2-D, Red team. Mordin is the very model of a scientist salarian. He's an old man who has regrets but is somewhat at peace with them because he's done what he can to set the mistakes of the past right. Yes, that's right, that's his canonpoint. He still loves science and wants to make things better, especially if he's the only one he's sure will do it right.

Plans: Investigating WTF just happened. Giving mundane first aid lessons

CR wanted: Science buddies, people to discuss ethics or art with
Things to avoid: If you are doing dumb things that get you injured, he WILL point out it's your own fault

Molly Hayes

[personal profile] bruiserprincess 2022-03-01 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Molly Hayes
About them: Purple Team, Sleeper U3A. Molly is a twelve year old mutant whose parents turned out to be supervillains. She's generally wary of adults, especially adult authority figures, but she's very friendly with other kids.

Plans: The event messed her up. She'd been treating it as another place she needs to escape and having that come up after only a couple weeks made it seem that way. And then it wasn't and she needs to grapple with this really not being anything she's used to.

CR wanted: Kids to be friends with her! I do also enjoy adult CR for her and it's always interesting seeing who manages to actually get through to her. So I want her to find mentors but it's not easy.

Things to avoid: Be forewarned that adults who touch her without permission tend to go through walls. I'd say "Ask Wolverine" but he doesn't want to talk about it.

I would definitely love to do more with Kitty and Molly. Kitty would definitely want to look out for her more, and just get to know her better
