Character Shenanigans!

Sometimes things happen that may have consequences further down the line. Sometimes characters decide to do things that might have immidiate reprecussion. As mods we want to have our fingers on the pulse of the game as it were, but we are also aware that we won't be able to read every single thing!

So that's where this post comes in. If your character has done something 'noticable' that you think we might need to know about, throw us a link here. Some might require a response, some will just be noted.

Example: "Over *here* my character is trying to smash the windows of the engine!"

Sometimes you might have an idea in mind that you believe will have consequences and be in the midst of writing the thread, however you want to know what those consequences will be for threads going forward. Or you might still be in the planning stages and would like to know how things might pan out. That's also what this post is for!

Example: "At the end of this event my character is planning to not rejoin the train and instead ride off into the sunset! What happens?"

Ask away!

Glorfindel has taken to, at about 3 or 4am, roughly, going and sitting by the wall to the Engine room and sung something Elvish. Usually songs about seeing loved ones again, even though they've died.

Things like Into the West.

Only one song, each time, and not every night. But he started doing it the night after they left their Island Vacation.

Wrong character, but:

Nita asks the train a question (prompt one).

Also may be train interactions as a result of the second prompt; stay tuned!

One, is it possible to build an explosive using the clean materials aboard the train?

Two, what would happen if Alexis did create an explosive and set it off at the engine wall to try and crack it open?

ICP->IM, part II, sort of?

As of this conversation, Webmind wants to know if he can upload videos to the Network, in addition to the programming he's done to allow for permatext/textchat.

Will he have any success at this point, or will it also take some months to achieve?

Lea is hosting a little betting pool/contest to see if people can guess the name of the next month. It's mostly just for fun, so the prizes for picking the 'winning' are just vouchers that can be exchanged for a small favor or cheap shop item from someone who bet on one of the 'losing' words. If none of the words being bet on turns out to be the 'winner' no one wins or loses anything.

There's a whiteboard in the standard car now with a single black dry-erase marker. It probably? Wasn't? There? Before? But it seems like it's always been there.

Also Ronan keeps leaving things in Medical which similarly weren't there before and seem like they've always been there. Among them: odd tins of salve labeled things like "for your hands" or "for your burns" and a mysterious bottle that's simply labeled "Ronan."

Drawn with a black marker in the centre booth on the second floor, are 88 sets of dots, with lines denoting all of the constellations Senku is familiar with, doodled in the appropriate places on the walls and ceiling of the booth to match a regular constellation chart. They are not labelled.

Okay, mods, question.

Many characters have informed Nike the SCA devices can protect her from negative emotions and other spirits from trying to possess her, she is now interested to find out the number of negative emotions she can absorb since she can't use the rain song to purify the emotions and her own body. What will happen once she experiments? What is her limit and what will be the side-effects before and after going over?

For the most part, if she is overwhelmed by too many negative emotions she'll fall unconscious. Depending on the amount, she'll sleep for a few days or may get up feeling sick and exhausted.

Now if she encounters a character with a grudge that lasted a very long time (say over a thousand years), then she may begin to get darker skin tone and become possessed by the emotion, changing her alignment from a guardian spirit to a demon until she is purified.

I doubt we have any characters with a grudge so fierce, so I don't mind having her getting sick/passing out and feeling more vulnerable to the effects of the void even with the SCA (but let's be honest, she isn't wearing the SCA in the train rn).
guru_clef: (Study time)

[personal profile] guru_clef 2020-10-31 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ao far Clef has set the stone he uses in the Library to Unmake itself when the train pops him out to bed. But since he pretty much only ever is out of the Library when the train does that, the rare time Nita or Zelda get him to leave (has happened once so far), or missions, he has decided he is tired of the extra expenditure of energy and effort.

So rather than remaking it, he is leaving a large natural looking stone in the library, positioned in such a way not to block any shelves currently in use, nor the exits. Also as far from the ICP as he can manage given those two prior conditions. It has a light dusting of non-toxic, non-inimical moss. It is magic, it isn't even an allergen. It is simply soft and aesthetic.

The stone itself is tall enough that he is eye level with the taller passengers when he sits on the top, which is mostly a level mesa except for a small upward protrusion that makes a perfect chair for someone as small as he is, so that his feet touch the mesa.

Basically he made a huge stone, then made it into a comfy (ish? It is still stone) seat for studying. The mesa is wide enough that his staff and a small pile or two of books can be stacked without falling.

Ken is attempting to open a gate to the Digital World with his shiny new D-3! (He is very grateful for the charger. Such thoughtfulness.)

I am assuming this ends with a lot of nothing (womp womp), but would anything else happen if someone tried to open an interdimensional portal using the screen of an ICP?

Thank you!

Luggage Car

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-08 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
OH WAIT HI. I'm not sure if this counts as a large change, but Tidus discussed with Fingon about installing a very simple counter in the luggage car somewhere near the entrance from the sleeper cabin, putting in a mini-fridge and just a few utensils from the kitchen, to make a mini kitchen. Is this okay?

There's no sink or anything obviously, it is mainly for making simple sandwiches or toast. There'll be some water bottles refilled for the kettle but otherwise, no actual water supply.

Backdated to platform

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-11-08 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
One day Nita will stop poking the train on platform day, but until then...

Also featuring musical guest XiChen, though he may have words with the train as well.

No train response is needed as of yet, though perhaps after XiChen talks/plays there could be something to sense?
