Train to the Moon - OOC/Signups

The Train to the Moon


Image


You wake up in a spacious cabin - Victorian in style - on a train, speeding through the foggy night. Needless to say, Its dark outside, and inside. A flickering gas lamp is your only source of light, right next to it lies a card, dark blue light reflects from its surface. The card is blank, but as you touch it, thoughts flood your head:

One might ask, what on the moon is going on here?
The answer would be:
A Roleplay...
and a Dice RPG...
and Create your own adventure game, except for its MULTI-PLAYER!
Now, What this means to you? Mostly nothing. You can roleplay regularly, BUT for important actions (moving from one room to another, Shooting people, blowing up stuff) don't take place right away. Instead, at the end of every post, you have the option to leave an "Important Action", which will then have varying results, calculated by Complex algorithms. If you are unsure whether an action you are about to preforms classifies as an Important one, fell free to telegram it to me. You may also take actions in secret. Likewise, you should telegram me with what you want done. Don't worry, I'll keep your secret... until its revealed.
Now, there are some other important stuff. You shouldn't bring random stuff into existence. You can only interact with objects and characters already in the game, exceptions are minor things, that are supposed to be there (based on previous posts). If you aren't happy with what's already in the RP, you can always try to bring new stuff into existence by "Finding" them (this is an Important action)!

Action table:
Unimportant:
-Moving within the same room
-Moving to a room already explored by someone else (you will make the same discoveries)
-Talking to other characters
-Writing in your notebook
-Taking a bath

Important
-Moving to an unexplored area
-Exploring areas for clues, new objects
-Killing other characters
-Destroying another person's notebook
-Taking a bloodbath


Other important stuff.
During your stay on the train, not only will you get items, you will also gain... how to put this... traits?
Anyway, more about this later...
/OOC


The flow of thoughts end. You notice that there is a small mirror in a shady corner, surrounded by an elegant frame...

After all this happen, Time freezes for some reason. Don't worry, it should resume after 5 people have posted in app... whatever that means.

Your roman soldier would have difficulties speaking with modern characters, correct?
Or should we make it so that they can understand each other?

There is no wifi on the train.
You are not the first person I have to tell that, so I might as well put it in the OP.
As for the tech level, the train looks early 1900's ish.

You look into it and you see a Voldemort wearing an avocado taco costume with a chihuahua with diabetes, a flu, and dysentery popping out of the side

In the mirror, you notice a small book, hiding under the bed. Inside, lies many tales about a apple juicer getting stabbed by a pitcher of salty lemonade whose name is Luis

You then go on to search the room, you find a lifetime supply of delicious lint and moldy M&M sandwiches.

Allright, Lets see what we have so far:

1... a grey-skinned figure in a brown and green cloak. Hmmm... shady! +1 Shades (trait of sneaking) -1 hearts maybe?
2... an ugly anthropomorphic cat. Anyway, Cants can Sneak. +1 Shades
3... A trollface? Looks like I messed up migrating Jord's app. a skeleton with clothes. Creepy! -1 hearts (Trait of good/evil, sanity) Also, +1 hats for being magical.
4... a Roman soldier that looks like Brad Pitt. Can also speak english. Perhaps a former actor? +1 Steel (trait of strength)
5... A? intelligent penguin +1 Cogs (trait of intelligence)
6... Voldemort wearing an avocado taco costume with a chihuahua with diabetes, a flu, and dysentery popping out of the side. Voldemort is evil, right? - 1 hearts. But he also has magic +1 Hats.

If you aren't happy with your starting trait, you may request its change... (Max +1 increase and -1 decrease

So what exactly is "steel"? I know it's a trait of strength, but I don't know what that is either.

Who wants to be friends with a skeleton??

But who doesn't want to be friends with Voldemort in taco costume??

And also, it says we can kill other characters.... Won't we run out of people soon?

As for the items - effects apply for whomever has them.
Price on their head --- + 2 Steel for all attacks against the guy/girl/thing with the price on his/her/its head. (may designate target once)

... shiny, silvery staff. --- +1 Hats when staff is with him (hats is for Magic, stats apply all the time, unless stated otherwise)

bronze sword --- +2 steel, but it resonates with fear and pain. -1 hearts. Its also hard to sneak with a big sword: -1 shades

On old fossilised fish --- Fish is strong +1 steel

a lifetime supply of delicious lint and moldy M&M sandwiches. --- Uhm... Okay. I guess That gives you A "Disgusting Scent".
You start with 1 disgusting scent. Its not a trait or an item. Its... uhm... stuff.

Old Hunting Rifle, with one bullet. --- +4 steel for a single attack (1 time use). Then +1 steel unless you more bullets.
