STATE OF THE TAXON: II
It's that time again, citizens!
WEATHER:
It is still winter in Taxon, but the weather is going to change just a bit. The snow that sticks will be leaving for (mostly) good, but the freezing temperatures remain. Same as with fall, regular bi-weekly storms will hit the city full of wind, rain, and iced roads. Don't forget the umbrellas, and certainly don't have anyone go into the water at the beaches. At least not if you'd like to avoid dealing with hypothermia and large chunks of wandering ice.
HOLIDAYS ARE OVER:
Yes, finally. After the twelfth day of Christmas (January 3rd), all the holiday trappings will disappear and their glitchy ways will go with them. Don't forget about both the regular Christmas present post and the fourth-wall gift glitch that's ending on the third. If you can't get things done right away, never fear. Backtagging is always an option, as well as figuring out things OOC.
SPECIAL GUESTS:
No, not another elf. Later this month there'll be a bit of... Exceptional weirdness with the Extras, care of direct meddling from the Alien overlords. We can't tell you exactly what will be happening yet (a good surprise is better unspoiled) but we are going to ask you for a bit of a favor: Gather up old in-game and canon quotes and send them to us. Anything a character has spoken out loud, about any subject at any time. Context doesn't matter, and neither does the character's current presence in Taxon. Just get us those quotes!
WHERE YOU COME IN (AGAIN):
We promised it would be monthly, and lo, it is! Fill this out to keep your fellow players up to date on what your character(s) been up to in the city and plot together for new and lasting CR.

What's been going on:
* Being confused.
* Getting unconfused.
* Having a variety of reactions to a living version of herself.
* Meeting Drusilla. Being thankful. Some bonding time.
* Figuring out that the 'Extras' taste awful, but still not realising they've got an official name.
* Feeling strange that her living self has a sister.
* Figuring out that the hatches can not only be used to get anything, but that they also reproduce potential blackmail material.
* Being annoyed that her living self and sister want to keep provoking her.
Things to do this month:
* Buffy challenged her to combat! This might have to occur... But it would lead to an almighty feud! Drusilla and Dawn writers, you guys would be affected most by this: What would you guys prefer?
* Alternatively, it might be intriguing to have some sort of situation where both Buffy's are trapped or something and need to help one another.
* Vampire Buffy is secretly planning to see if she can combine what's produced from the hatches, to make those 'Extra' things taste better. She likes biting, damn it! This would probably involve some fairly revolting experimentation with anatomy and stuff. She... Might try to turn one. Could that be possible?
* She's looking out for someone with scientific knowledge to help her maker get rid of that microchip which prevents them causing harm.
* Depending on how things go with the normal Buffy, she might resort to a campaign of slander, just purely for entertainment.
* Perhaps getting to know some of the more vilainous characters. Nobody seems to be co-ordinating the evil personalities into something effectively cohesive and she might decide it's time to!
* Uh... Maybe exchanging her item to some sort of residence? When applying, I forgot that those hatch things could easily reproduce a stake! I'd have to think what, though...
* Possibly be victimised by someone who uses magic, when they realise a turned Slayer's essence would be a powerful thing to try and have.
* Confront Faith, at some time. They haven't communicated! There's some stuff in this Buffy's alternative reality which is to do with her.

So long as you don't mind her responding in a fairly confrontational way. It being in her nature, these days and all that. :)

"finding a home
Once your character has decided to leave the Sanctuary in search of a less humble abode they'll probably be wanting to take a look around the city. The city is full of empty buildings of all different shapes and sizes (and historical periods) all of which are visible on the tablet map. Occupied houses will show up on the map in red. Those that aren't (and are therefore fair game) will be colorless.
Now. Where your character lives is up to you to decide, however it should be the sort of home that would suit them, and that they'd perhaps subconsciously desire. There's the option of this being their in-canon home, or if you're feeling imaginative, you can invent a place. In both of these scenarios the character will be walking and stumble across the building seemingly randomly.
If you do decide to go with the imaginative inventing option, a certain degree of realism is recommended, as what your character might 'subconsciously desire' is not the same as their 'wildest dreams', and it might verge on the silly if everyone is living in ENORMOUS DISNEY PALACES. For example.
The homes don't have keys, they have imprinting locks. This is a nifty handprint panel similar to those on the replicating hatches. Once you touch the panel once, the house/apartment/bungalow/cardboard box is yours and turns red on the map. From that point onwards you touch the panel and the door opens. It's an alien DNA recognising technology thing."
Buffy wouldn't know that ICly, of course, but someone (even an Extra, maybe, in a "hey is that your house" subtle kind of way) would probably tell her unless they want to be manipulative.
AAAALSO if you want to like. Trade programmed possessions or something, go ahead and email us at the mod email and let us know what you want to trade the stake for and we'll see what we can do.

Just firuing out whether she'll make covert approachings to people who give out enough clues or make some sort of networked announcement. :)
