We have Team Points and they can be earned both during missions and on the train.

~ Characters get 3 Team Points on joining
~ If you successfully pass AC without ending up on the warned list you get 5 Team Points!
~ Characters that help out doing chores on the train earn a Team Point that month (this can be hand waved, it is a question on AC)
~ If your character takes part in a mission they earn 5 Team Points
~ Mission goals have Team Point awards. Event posts will ask for threads of ten comments where mission goals are being worked towards. You will earn 10 Team Points per thread.
~ At the start of every IC month (every two OOC months) there will be ‘thought of the month’ which will be linked to an ooc ‘roleplay challenge’ which will earn you team points (eg thread with new cr).

Team Points are calculated by mods and will be announced both OOC and update on character tickets on ‘station’ days (new character intro time).

What are Team Points Spent on?

There is an on board shop. It is ever expanding so there is plenty to spend those points on!

This... is bad.

That bird ambush almost killed her. And it's not even like she was careless -- Well. That's a lie. She shouldn't have been out on patrol. She knows she needs to be careful with her magic. But she thought it was where she'd have the most use. Fighting is what she's best at, after all, and these birds are a serious problem. But she can't say she was careful, because if she was, then she wouldn't be in this position. She'd be off lending some muscle to construction efforts or something instead. But all her efforts so far to keep herself busy, make herself useful, without spending magic, without getting into fights --

They didn't make her feel better. She thought it'd be enough to keep her mind off Mami, but at every turn, she kept expecting to see her. In base camp, making sure people are fed. Offering healing to those who needed it. And each reminder of her absence has been a sharp twist under Kyoko's ribs, leaving her breathless and off-balance. The more it happened, the worse it got.

And now... Now -- Kyoko is curled up around her spear, her back against a patch of ruined fence, out in the middle of nowhere. She's lucky she didn't full-on break anything, but she thinks something's wrong with her left leg. Fractures somewhere or something. And she's pretty badly cut up, but she's trying to stem the bleeding with her magic. For all the good it's doing. Healing magic has always been her worst, and with the interference from this world, even with that white crystal from Hemla...

She's just wasting magic. Magic she really doesn't have to waste. She's burned through so much since Mami left. Using illusions to run from Nozomi. Using them to spar with herself. That fight with her Blue Team counterpart. Enchanting the pipe for Nozomi. Just transforming and summoning her spear on this world. Just existing here. Using any magic here at all. And then, the birds just now. Kyoko didn't use her magic to attack them, she knows better at this point, but she had to use it just to stay alive. All those magical girl acrobatics she's taken for granted until now...

Her Soul Gem is so dark she can barely see the red shining underneath the impurities.

Her SCA is beeping at her. It has been ever since she escaped from the birds. For all the good it does her -- She knows. She knows already. This is really bad.

But... Is there anything she can do, at this point? It's just like back when she was a kid, and she was hungry, so hungry, but there wasn't anything to be done. There wasn't any food. There aren't any Grief Seeds. There is no Rosetta. She should've listened when Yondu tried talking about back-ups, alternatives. But Mami had it under control, and Kyoko never thought for a second that -- something like this would happen. Even after finding out that Mami had died. Even after Homura disappeared from the train. Even after the months of watching people silently walk into the platform mists. How did she let herself get so complacent? How could she be so stupid? Just because Mami took care of it...

Mami... Mami... She never told her...

She'd gotten complacent there, too. Thinking that -- after the last few missions, after she apologized, after she swore to Mami she'd always be by her side, after she told her all the things she told her before coming to the train -- She really thought she could finally move forward. Not without regrets, she'll always have regrets, but she promised Mami that she would live to make up for her sins. She would do better. She would be better. And Mami... Mami promised her the same thing -- That she would work hard to do better by her -- They would be walking forward, hand in hand, together. She really thought she wouldn't have any more regrets when it came to Mami.

And now -- Now... Now... She's thinking, I never told her. Never told her... what? It's not like she has the same kinds of feelings about Mami Nozomi does. She wouldn't call it... She wouldn't say that her feelings are... But ever since hearing Nozomi say she had a crush on Mami, that she hadn't told her, the regret in her voice, the tears on her face --

Haha. Kyoko really is... stupid. So stupid. I never told her. I didn't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to think about it.

The cracks in her hull, the ones she's been trying so hard to keep patched, are finally too big. The water is seeping in. She's going to drown like this.

She doesn't... want to become a witch. She doesn't want to curse the world. She doesn't want to cause trouble for this place everyone's been working so hard to save. What kind of damage could a witch do, set rampant on a world never visited by Incubators? How many sali would she kill? How many Voidtreckers? The friends she's made... Yondu...

Yondu. Yondu. After everything he's done for her, everything she's put him through, she can't put him through this. The image of his old crew comes to her mind, floating lifeless and cold. The silhouette of his back as he stared at them. She can't. She can't do this to him. The despair she felt looking up at Sayaka's witch wouldn't hold a candle to what he would feel.

It would've been better for the birds to have killed her. She should have let them kill her, instead of running away.

But she... She could still... die. She could break her Soul Gem. Pull it off her chest and drop it on the ground and crush it under her heel. Or stab her spear down into it. Press it between her hands until it shatters. Then... She'd wake back up on the train, right? She'd be useless for the rest of the mission, but at least she won't be destroying it and everything they've been working for.

Kyoko touches her Soul Gem. Her fingers shake against her skin. She... She's scared. She's... really scared. Even knowing that she won't stay dead, even knowing -- She's already died once. Already failed Mami once. Failed Sayaka. Failed Madoka. Even failed Homura, who warned her not to face Mami. All she's ever done... is fail the people who matter to her. She couldn't save her mother. Her sister. Her father. Her friends... Not even herself. And then... And then she couldn't stop Mami... from leaving. She couldn't save her. Why did the train pick her? How is she supposed to fulfill a mission of saving entire worlds when she can't even save a single person? Would it really be better if she died... and stayed that way?

She doesn't want to die. She doesn't want to die. She doesn't want to die. She doesn't want to become a witch. She doesn't want to starve. She doesn't want to let anyone else down. She doesn't want to keep failing. She doesn't want to be alone.

After a long moment, Kyoko pulls her hand, still shaking, away from her Soul Gem. She presses her fingers clumsily against her SCA.
