May/June Activity Check!

[taxonmods]

Hello Taxon, and welcome to your new form of activity check! As a reminder, our activity requirements are as follows:

-One (1) open post made by your character, able to be tagged into by other characters. For this round, we will count a top comment in an event log as a post, since that's what most of June was taken up with.
and
-A total of 30 tags/comments by your character in up to four posts. Event log posts, your own post, other people's posts-- it's all good.

The cycle on which we are judging this is every two months. So, we're looking at May and June here for requirements!

What You Do Now:

Leave a comment linking us to your a) Post! and b) the posts you participated in! You will find that character tag of yours that we keep harping on very useful in locating these.

Please comment by Monday, July 8. If you do not respond to this post with links to your activity, we will not check through the posts for you, but will instead treat your character as not having made AC for the last two months.

Characters/players who have notified us of hiatus or slowatus and who are thus exempt from this AC:
-Kat, with Arthur
-Laura, with Ariadne
-Tri, with Briar Moss and Skysong

Additionally, characters who have arrived to the city in the month of June (Daphne Powell and Eames) are exempt due to Newbie Grace, although you may still fill out the activity check if you wish. Additionally-additionally, if we missed your hiatus or if you're a few comments short, get in touch with us and we'll work with you.

There's a handy text area below and we're happy to answer questions. Thank you for your time, Taxon, and remember to tag your posts!

Plot Wrap + CR Meme!

Island Plot Wrap-up!
Whew! What a long, strange trip it's been, and because of reasons we're going to be wrapping this sucker up a bit early on 5 July. Still, there is time for the aliens to toss one more bit of cliched tropical-themed shenanigans!

Those awake and attentive late at night might have heard drumming from the dark, mysterious depths of the jungle. Explorers of the temple may have happened upon strange idols, and a mural depicting a blood-red moon and warriors driving a rival tribe into the sea.

The figures in these images? The source of the distant drumming? Hamsters. Pygmy warrior hamsters, three feet tall and wielding weapons the size of barbecue tools.

On the night of 4 July the moon shall turn a lurid red, the large hamster idol/hatch will begin glowing, the drumming shall be inescapable, and the temple will be lit with countless torches. SUDDENLY: the war cry of scores of squeaky voices shall sweep into camp, herding the castaways into the jungle which is now riddled with traps such as snares and pitfalls.

By morning, all will be driven to the far side of the island, where they will be met by...a barge. A party barge, manned by Extras, offering safe passage back to Taxon. There will be tropical music, drinks, snacks, a limbo contest, and by early afternoon the city will be in sight (thanks to the aliens doing some quick programming from one cavern to the next). Happy reunions all around, and showers for everyone!

A post for all this will go up soon!

CR Meme

It has been some time since we did one of these, and with things getting back to normal (har har) it is high time to bust one out! This one's a blend of the old State of the Taxon Meme and the last meme we had, so folks can catch up and bounce ideas at once:

<b>Name:</b> Character Name | Canon | <user name="username"> <b>Recently:</b> What's been going on in their lives? A quick (or tl;dr) explanation of the past month(s). <b>Future Plans:</b> This can range from just getting a character out and about to long-term, slow burning plots, and everything else in between. Jobs, glitches, horrors, etc. go here! <b>Type of CR You Want:</b> Friends? Enemies? Frenemies with benefits? Business partners? <b>Other Notes:</b> Anything else you think might be relevant about your character goes here! (Are they AU? Do they have superpowers or possibly just hobbies? This space can also be used for OOC notes about yourself/your availability. Or gifs.)
