Character Shenanigans!

[voidtreckermods]

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!

Pretty sure she's going to end back up with Purple for getting back to the train at least.

I'm wondering if Tony can pick one or two of the chairs in the standard carriage to basically destroy for parts. So far there hasn't been a need for as many seats as there are and he needs metal and other things to build Maedhros' new arm.

I'm happy to take on whatever consequences will befall him for acting like a crazy man, but I won't if it'll cause too many problems.

[voidtreckermods]

Pfft go for it. I was wondering how long it would be before he started destroying the train.

Poor train what has it ever done to him?

[runs_on_batteries]

Haha! It was inevitable. Especially now that we have some other crafty people stealing all his other spare parts haha. You can assume at least a half dozen suitcases are now missing.

[runs_on_batteries]

Two quick things-

So Joss and Tony have a plan for Joss to go running at someone who is leaving the train and trying to catch them. I don't know how you feel about this, but what if on the next platform, Heiji is seen leaving the train like that and gets tackled and 'saved' by Joss?

Also idk if I told you or not, but Tony has painted the glass of his quiet room to try so he can have a little more privacy.

[voidtreckermods]

I'm not sure what you mean by your first question?

Do you mean Heiji pretend he is leaving/tries to leave by following those that do and Joss "saves" him? Because yes if Heiji wants to put on his best zombie detective act in an escape plan that's fine-even if Joss didn't save him he couldn't get through the barrier.

Second is fine I will edit the setting when I'm on a computer rather than my phone!

[runs_on_batteries]

No worries!

And I guess I was going for if Heiji legit was in the process of being sent home but gets saved for real by Joss. However, the more I'm thinking about it the more I'm sure that will give away too much of the plot and I don't want to mess that up.

[voidtreckermods]

Yes that wouldn't be possible unfortunately. However Joss is very welcome to try jumping on one of the people who are leaving the train to see what happens!

I am an awful person and brought an awful character into this game and I have awful questions to go along with all my awful.

Can 47 use the medical supplies on hand to create poisons and sedatives, or will the train somehow forbid him from doing this? If he takes items from one carriage with the intent to keep, will he be able to keep them permanently or will they go back to where they belong at the end of the day? (Such as said medical supplies or balls from the gym or knives from the kitchen?) And can 47 create explosives from anything onboard the train such as cleaning supplies? ...And golf balls. It's a thing.

[voidtreckermods]

The train will not forbid the use of medical supplies for awful purposes.

Anything he takes will stay with him and not go back to where he found them at the end of the day so he can steal all the knives and balls he wishes.

Yes if he has the knowledge (and I assume he does) he can make home grown explosives from cleaning supplies, assume a basic level of cleaning chemicals as they get replenished on platforms rather than stored in bulk (though he is welcome to hoard them).

Have fun!

FYI, the library (aka, single set of bookshelves) have been built in the Standard Carriage at the front where some handsome devil cleverly got some useless chairs out of the way.

[voidtreckermods]

Noted and added to the setting!

[runs_on_batteries]

For the gym, I forgot to mention this earlier but there are some makeshift training dummies if people want to spar. :0

Will's poking the wall with psychometry.

Here

[voidtreckermods]

Replied!

The first chunk of things he sees are all the characters who ever interacted with the wall. So if you wish to go back and find the threads Will can have knowledge of those scenes.

So Yuffie is all Shenanigans and I thought it best to start now with ideas and consequences because I don't want to pull any punches as she gets in trouble. It's really the only way that Yuffie learns.

To start. She got orange team and she's going to do everything she can to avoid being identified as a member of the orange team. I don't know if that's possible. She's going to take off her watch until she can color the band another color (like black) and steal peoples things and trade them with her own (which I'm going to ask people about) but I wasn't sure if that was entirely possible. I had kinda decided that if she got red or orange that this would be her reaction since she always wears cool colors in canon.

Follow up. She's going to steal things from people and while I do want to work it out IC, I don't know if there is a way to have that come back and bite her in the ass but I get the feeling that's an ooc work out not a mod thing.

One thing that is totally a mod thing is that Yuffie is going to try really hard to open a window and as a new-ish player I have NO idea what will happen or if its even possible.

I do apologize for her in advance but hopefully I can mitigate some of her terror by being open on an ooc level. I'd like for her to get in trouble because that will help with character development since it usually takes a castmate to get Yuffie to stop.

Thank you again and I apologize for rambling. My thoughts are firmly set since she hasn't formally entered the game yet but I will keep everyone updated in her silliness.

[voidtreckermods]

Stealing other peoples clothes is fine as long as you chat to them ooc about it! Any consequences of that will come from the characters she is robbing off, I am sure! She is also able to remove the watch, though let me know if she is removing it whilst not on the train! On the train it is fine not to wear it. Colouring it should be possible depending on how she plans to do it.

Opening a window won't be possible. There aren't any catches or hinges or ways to open the windows. She can try and break it but will find that no matter how strong she is, how much she throws at it and whatever she tries they cannot be broken. Have fun trying Yuffie!

I am very happy to hear about her shenanigans, that's what this page is for!

[thegreatninja]

Awesome! And yes, I am definitely planning to be open with Yuffie since she is so ridiculous. I'm going to revamp her permissions with some extra stuff too once work stops trying to kill me. AND I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE HER FIGHT A WINDOW AND LOSE!

She will likely take off her watch off the train so I will keep you posted as that becomes relevant. :D

Follow up questions. What if she sets things on fire on one of the trains (this may or may not be on accident).

[voidtreckermods]

Then there will be fire! There are fire extinguishers by the doors so it will hopefully be deal-able with but again please let me know if she actually sets things on fire on the train!

I look forward to her rediculousness!

[runs_on_batteries]

As you know Feanor and Tony and probably others have been working on creating a communicator through the watches or some other device. I was wondering if there was a way Tony could link his suit's communication system to Ignis' cell phone.

[voidtreckermods]

As of the moment there isn't. He is welcome to be trying. But technology from two different worlds are tricky to link.

He can probably get to the stage where he can link them to the ICP and connect them that way.

It would be glitchy though, sometimes broadcasting their conversations on the ICP. And would only work in range of the train.

So, Nita is about to ask some Questions in the Speech (which, for practical purposes, isn't quite the same thing as psychic powers, though psychotropic spells are a canonical subdivision).

The machinery she's about to talk to includes the SCA itself (to determine what it's for - and later where it's from/was made) and, of course, the Train.

Can she (or the peridexis) expect any answers? :P

[voidtreckermods]

She will get silence to all her questions from the SCA.

When she speaks to the train (/Excuse me, how did you get the authorization for this augmentation, and what authority do you answer to?/) she and the peridexis will get no answer, but there is definitely the sense of listening- she is being ignored, rather than not connecting.

If she attempts further communication link me!

dun dun DUN.

[unfavorableinstigation]

The tension builds!

Might help if the non-response is a tag, though (or at least if someone pokes the train prompt), so Nita+the peridexis can give their reactions in a second tag.

[themasterthief]

/casually gives Tony some devices from the snowstorm planet to work with. Maybe he can just make new ones from devices not connected to the train? That would...be better... Garrett thinks.
