Following the train's recent answering session, some nerds have gotten together with the big idea of wanting to help the train. There's the question of what's going on with the train's missing memories surrounding what happened to its crew, and helping the train has always been difficult. Nobody understands what makes the train tick, and how can you help the train when you can't get to its engine room?

You access a backdoor with permission from the train, and have it show you through files so that you can try to decipher exactly how it works - and invite everyone to come join in to help.

HOW? WHAT?

There will be a network post inviting computer-touching types and also those with energy-reading expertise, and also memory/seer-type gifts to join in on the project. There will be two approaches (simplified): Using computers and a scientific approach to deciphering how the train's data is formulated, and - while also using VR tech to create a projection - also allowing more energy/vision-based gifts to help explore the data to understand it.

This is basically to allow more than scientific-nerds to get onboard. And come on, the train is very special: this is a good chance for scientific and spiritual nerds to come together, and for everyone to help out.

WHEN? WHERE?

This will be taking place over a period of time. The [x carriage - do they want to ask if a hire room can be borrowed for a discount, or maybe use the upstairs games carriage? Move aside the giant pieces, use the plugs, there you go] will be used for these sessions to allow for room, and anyone willing to help is free to come along.

This will be a group effort, and it may be able to help with other problems - such as the tethers, and how to find those lost. Who knows! First, there must be research.

SIGN ME UP!

If you would be interested, please comment below! You can also ask questions, and please - tell us what ideas your character can bring to the table! If your character might be able to help but would be reluctant at the start, let us know if any of our characters can help. The initial people involved in this project are: CLU/Faux (ranoutofbuts), Elidibus (wewillwewill), Emet-Selch (apokroteo), Esteban (crowneddragon), Senku Ishigami (10billionpercent), Seto Kaiba (blue_ice), Tidus (blitzcheer)

We'd love for all skills to be helpful around this time. Also..

SIDE PROJECT

An idea will be to offer energy to the train to potentially help it, but it will be cagey about this. However, making a battery to store energy that can be used in the future would be good - if for the train, or for void tears. Tidus is interested in this after speaking with Edge, and a project is a project! If anyone has ideas for this, feel free to share them!

Starting in the new IC month, sparing mission time and anything that comes up thanks to train shenanigans, an Arts Extravaganza will be held, all in hopes to encourage people to vote for the art car. ICly promoted over the network in the end of Merriment (by who), a schedule will be put together.

Clocks with a simple visual interface are going to be placed around the train: mainly, the Dining Car, Standard Coach, Games, and Library. They look loosely like this, and with activities set around one of the 'times' (Sports, Second Food, Third Food, Mop&Bucket...or what have you).

If anyone would be up for making better clocks, please @ Tidus.

Throughout the month, there will be activities planned - and with room for people to add to them! We're not going to make a real schedule, so instead, imagine these are more ICly organised. But some of the activities planned, are...

- Drawing/sketching!
- Painting!
- Pottery making!
- Origami/paper-folding!
- Acting?!

..and hopefully, more! It doesn't have to strictly stay in the realm of what people imagine an arts carriage will have, but to include other activities to enjoy. But also, please vote art car.

Some people have been approached to help and to run classes for different activities, but for ease, if people could use the below form to sign-up just to say what their character would be interested in doing, that would help in submitting this event proper. A log can be made, but it'll also be an activity taking place that others can mess with in their own logs too, and say they're getting invovled with:

Voidtreckers is a game where characters are forcibly recruited as Voidtreckers, inter-dimensional heroes needed on world-saving missions across multiple planets with varying problems. On arrival, your character is assigned to one of four teams, each with their own objectives come mission time. Nobody knows why this happens or how they're picked, but they're stuck together whether they like it or not.

At least there's a spa.

AC is two proofs of 5 comments each per month, with the option of receiving bonuses for additional AC challenges that will allow your character to earn the in-game currency: points. It's medium-sized, very backtag-friendly, with AU and CRAU are allowed and encouraged.

Game time is 1 IC day:2 OOC days. Missions last 1 OOC month and have 3 logs (start - ongoing - finale), and people are encouraged to take on what they can, with ongoing considered optional. Non-mission months are far more relaxed with a single event, usually taking place on the train.

Characters can earn back most personal belongings and also any items from their world or possibly others, and any crafting and teaching of skills is encouraged to help with train life and mission life.

Apps are already closed this month, but the test drive usually goes up around the 15th, with reserves opening on the 18th. Apps open on 22nd. It's very poor timing for enablemeplz, always.
