STATE OF THE TAXON: II

[taxonmods]

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.


<lj site="livejournal.com" user="CHARACTER_USERNAME" title="CHARACTER NAME"> <b>What's been going on:</b> A quick summary of what's up with your character and how they're doing. <b>Things to do this month:</b> Anything you'd like to do with them this month. CR requests, plot requests, "I'd really like them to have x kind of development but idk how to go about it, any ideas," whatever you want to get to this month or a plot you want to start rolling for the months to come.

What's been going on: Eric and Godric had "the talk." The long, drawn out, angsty talk that we're still logging. He met Levi, had a nice bonding moment with Sookie, realized Cassie was gone, met the Cuckoos, was vaguely concerned for Dawn's health, got glitched into singing Christmas songs, took cookies out of the oven for Sookie because Sam arrived, talked to a glitched Buffy, greeted Snape, got a really bad t-shirt and went to the New Year's party.

Wow, I managed to condense all that into a single paragraph this time!

Things to do this month: MOAR CR. With...people. Godric needs to get out more. Also, he possibly needs some kind of hobby. IDK.

What's been going on: OH LAWD. Glitch ran into Illyria again even though she was pretending to be Fred, at which point he got glitched by the Christmas tree into getting her prezzies. Then he went for a walk one evening and met Drusilla who was creepy, but he decided to make friends. And steal a doll. THEN he started trolling newbies, particularly the Stepford Cuckoos. Glitch also spent time in his workshop, trying to get the tablet to work with one of his own creations, and while walking home with DG got holiday glitched again. By mistletoe. Moving on.

He had some success with the tablet/TDESPHTL combination and...managed to make a giant hologram of himself, which attracted the attention of the Cuckoos and, unfortunately, Buddy the Elf. While glitched with an overdose of holiday cheer he giggled at talked to Buffy. Then Snape arrived and Glitch taught him how to use the Marauder's map. Sorry? And then there's the New Year's party where he may or may not end up randomly getting laid in a broom closet. Again.

Things to do this month: STUFF. Anything, everything. No, really, if you want anything let me know, CR is LOVE and Glitch is ridiculously loud, always. Main thing for the month: a proper glitch. Let's just say I've been uploading those icons for a reason :D

What's been going on: Well, there was the Angelus bit, Cordelia getting glitched twice for the holidays, meeting and freaking out over vamp!Buffy, bonding with Levi, bonding with Buffy and Max over an insane amount of alcohol, and the usual TROLLING OF PEOPLE. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU UNFORTUNATE CREATURES. also also, she and Angel has had 'the talk'. Yeah.

Things to do this month: I know I said this last month, but I would love to explore Cordelia's glowing powers or something. Also more trolling of people, because that part of her resume will never go away.

ALSO PEOPLE, I NEED CORDY TO HAVE A VISION. Any volunteers, your characters getting attacked/the ones perpetrating the attack/whatever? I so fail at this vision thing sob.

What's been going on: She's been going around masquerading as Fred because I am evil and been wanting to do this for some time?

Things to do this month: Um, more masquerading as Fred, building CR through her for the gorgeous mass confusion times. IDEK. If anyone wants to challenge her/fight her/use her for whatever purposes, I am game. Seriously, I need to use her more :(

Also also, I want some of her powers to return, gradually I guess.

[revivedqueen.livejournal.com]

did someone say CR

[faderbroderson]

Why halloooooo there~ :D

[revivedqueen.livejournal.com]

Hallo yourself, creature of the night.

I cheated!

What's been going on: A lot of holiday fail from the mun! Oh, aside from that? Gabriel was glitched into a five year-old and Claire got very attached to him. Mary was glitched into a teenager and embarrassed herself. Claire got into the holiday spirit, only to be confused by not!Elle (Hi Veronica Mars!) and then mindblown by Helen's epic Christmas present. Mary got into the holiday spirit, only to find out that her son was demon!glitched (in progress).

Things to do this month: Backdating demon!Dean funtimes, possibly seeking out new fun things for the girls? IDK. CR makes me happy. Mary needs to talk to more people now that she is finally settled, and Claire just likes talking to people.

What's been going on: The biggest thing to have happened to Angel in the past month is his brief revival tour as a holiday!happy Angelus, courtesy of Buddy. He terrorized the Buffyverse cast and others, but thankfully only killed and fed off Extras and ran around with his sired progeny, Drusilla, in tow (and feels somewhat bad for that, oh complicated guilt over what he made Dru into that will forever haunt him). He's had "the talk" with Cordelia and is now in a relationship with her, though no one knows that yet-- well, Levi knows, I think, but His Leviness is a special exception to the know-one-knows thing. A big clue to that will be coming out at midnight with the New Years Kiss, though. /braces self for the cast's reaction? :x

Things to do this month: Work on moving towards steps to get over the awkwardness that exists between him and some of the cast and maybe some things of the following visions nature, Zarah? And more bonding time with Faith, because that is like a must oh fabulous Sarahness.

NOTE → I'm moving on the 8th, so I may be scarce for a few days or so after that until we get net set up in the new place.

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Eeh I know, I do want a vision for her, too. Hmmm /edits cordy's post

What's been going on: Pause Glitch due to mun failure. David is now cranky. He doesn't like being messed with.

Things to do this month: Be active. Investigate this place more, try (and fail) to find out more about the aliens. Get some CR. Above all, be active.

[undoing.livejournal.com]

Maybe work on that truce between respective casts thing?

[faderbroderson]

Yup, working on that as we speak. It will be awkward and tentative and weird. 8D;

What's been going on: Well, his girlfriend just disappeared, and Dean just finished being a demon, so Toby's not doing terribly awesome emotionally. He's trying to deal, because he's Toby, so... he'll get over it. He enjoyed Christmas.

Things to do this month: I'm determined to get Toby to make some new friends this month. This is mainly a matter of tagging around more, so I shall get on that. Anything to help him with his ~angst issue. 8) Yeah, I... can't think of anything creative or plotty for him right now.

What's been going on: I... am not entirely sure. He freaked out a bit about vampires, but otherwise he's been pretty quiet.

Things to do this month: Anybody want an adorkable 19-year-old for a friend? Acquaintance? Scapegoat?

[faderbroderson]

Did you have any ~plans~ or did you want to play this by ear? :3

[revivedqueen.livejournal.com]

Haha no idea as of yet. but I did squee at the d_m tagging we did as them? old people talking about differences y/n?

[faderbroderson]

Y! I'm totally up for more of that.

[beholdthedrums.livejournal.com]

Toby's a psychic, right? It might be fun for him and the Master to meet in person :D Toby can moan and hear the drumming... or something.

What's been going on: Oh, jeeze. Uh.

Leviiiii met Cordelia, made quick BFFs with her, met Buffy, made quick enemies with her, met up with Ethan again. Then Ethan decided he was sick of not being a vampire, and basically stubborned his way into Levi biting him. Then, Levi met Godric, Eric and Spike, and enjoyed his conversations with them. Hung out with Cordelia some more, and they decided they were going to have an epic NYE party. He glitched into singing a few times, as well. Uh, what else... met Dawn, kissed Buffy, KISSED ETHAN, forgot about that, but only because of the damn mistletoe glitch. He met Angelus and learned of Angelus' kitten-eating habits, was freaked out by Buffy, Cordelia and Ethan's 8D 8D 8D-ness, talked to an unglitched Angel, then went to go troll Snape in person. Unfortunately, Snape didn't like that, and burned the crap out of Levi by shooting sunlight out of his hands.

And then Levi had a party. And has ~sexual tension~ with Godric, and eventually kissed the crap out of him at midnight. Then the morning came, he was all ;___; until Shane showed up, and now he's like OMG SHANE FFFFF. So yeah.

Things to do this month: ahahah omg, he's done so much already. He's gonna keep on keepin' on, and... I keep hearing about some truce thing that's brewing, so maybe that? Lemme know if you want him for something. :3

What's been going on: Little bit more on the down-low with his experiments. The Buddy-stuff kind of behind the scenes derailed him. After that wore off he became occupied by winning over Astrid and then the party, which I need to tag...

Things to do this month: I'd say... probably the end of the month I'll have him glitch to basically have Yana's personality. Which is completely opposite of the Master lol. Being very confused of why he's in Taxon and why he's really young :D;

What's been going on: Dean has not actually done much this month, ahah. Sam and Bobby's house vanished, as did Anna and Castiel, so he's kind of like FML. Basically, he's been moping around Buffy's castle, occasionally hanging out with Dawn and sometimes with Buffy, and a lot of times with his mother and Toby. Christmas was nice. And then he happy!glitched and basically made Dawn tear her hair out, disturbed River greatly, and made Mary wonder if he was doing drugs. Also, he ate all of Buffy's happy!glitch muffins.

Oh, and right after that, he glitched into a demon version of himself (which is ongoing), tortured Dawn and messed with people's heads a lot, until eventually Mary and Toby trapped him (... still ongoing) and he went back to normal. And then he proceeded to live in the Impala and not talk to anybody until he goes to Levi's NYE party and is all like I AM THE GODDAMN BATMAN/RATDUDE.

Things to do this month: My voice for him has been quiet lately, hence the lack of activity, really. I'm assuming that when Supernatural comes back on from it's hiatus, I'll be like OMG YES, DEAN, so expect him to be around more. If you wanna plot with him, lemme know~

[biverbam.livejournal.com]

What's been going on: Oh good lord um. Talked to the Master, got freaked out by Happy!Dean, talked to Jack... We're assuming there was mistletoe kissings with her and Dawn at some point because RL has been exceptionally fail (thank you, holidays) and there were presents. Chat has already assumed they happened. They were probably v. weird, jsyk.

Things to do this month: POST AND TAG AND DO STUFF. Yes. All that.

What's been going on: This month, Dawn:
→ Met her sister's evil twin and proceeded to provoke her in a less than intelligent fashion
→ Kissed Angel due to the Mistletoe curse (it was like licking the inside of a can of spaghettios)
→ Was harassed and creepered on by Angelus.
→ Spilled the beans to an unglitched Angel she knows the re-ensouling spell, leading to possible horrors down the road
→ Met demon!Dean (this needs to be further backdated)
→ Mourned the loss of Giles, Willow, and Xander via gross amounts of sugar.
→ OTHER THINGS I AM FORGETTING, SOB

Things to do this month: Iiiiiiiiiiiii need to get her out more! RL seems to be calming down, so I'm hopeful my activity can be better.

What's been going on: Met Levi again for the first time in several years, kissed Levi thanks to the evil mistletoe, detoxed, became a vampire again, got into a pissy bitchfight with Levi, trolled some people, met Buddy, was disgustingly cheerful, then glitched back to Ethan A La 1879. Returning to normal very soon.

Things to do this month: I deeeeefinitely want to tag him around. Being undead makes him more sociable, I can't explain it. So yes, I hope to throw him around a bit. Maybe get him to tone down the douchebaggery a bit.
