State of the Taxon

[taxonmods]

Hello Taxonians! Welcome to the quickest and dirtiest SOTT we could muster. Ready? let’s kick it!

CALENDAR: Located here as ever. Let us know if there are any events you’d like to have added!


ANNOUNCEMENTS
→ Player HMD is scheduled for March 23-24!

→ app_this_plz is this Saturday! take a look at the wanted list and let us know what other characters and/or canons you’d like to see in the city.


AROUND THE CITY
→ Weather/atmosphere: Ah, March. In like a lion, out like a lamb, with a lot of stabbing emperors and drinking green beer in the middle (okay not so much with the stabbing). Once the big glitch is over the remainder of the month will be as close to Taxon-default normal as possible as we head for April and the third anniversary of the project’s launch.

The weather is remaining synced with temperate Batumi, Georgia, with the promise of a lovely start to spring.

→ Freebies: With the month starting off with horrors, the aliens are once again supplying the population with free alcohol to compensate. Yes, this goes for the aforementioned cliche and culturally tone-deaf green beer for St. Patrick’s Day. Speaking of: the rivers, lake, and all the fountains in the city will be dyed green as well.


Hellacious Haunted Holo Horrors
As outlined here, the excessive code-mucking from last autumn is finally coming home to roost in some truly disastrous ways. While the aliens will be working to repair the damaged code, it is going to be up to the citizens to escape back to the city they know and hate.

When they do, they’ll get a look at some of their captor’s secrets. Details to follow as the plot unfolds!


MEME
And here is your monthly CR meme! Plot, plan, conspire, make connections, GET IT GET IT!

<user nAme="CHARACTER_UNSERNAME"> | Character Name <b>Previously:</b> What's been going on with your character over the last month, or even months!

Even detail other individual character glitches you may be planning on so folks can plot with you and get ideas bouncing. <b>Other Plans:</b> The rest of your plans for this month! CR and plot requests, idea bouncing for what kinds of development you want them to accomplish, anything at all you want to do this month or get rolling for the months to come.

electro_girl | Gwen Raiden

Previously: PURE, UNINHIBITED ANGST. Her powers were glitched away, and they came back at the worst moment ever: when she reached out to touch Long's hand. So she killed Long, freaked out, got PISSED, and is doing some anger/sulking thing. She's in a bad place. But she had some good conversations, and I hope more CR can happen because of it. Thank you again everyone who was a part of Gwen's unglitch! Especially my bb Dien. I appreciate it and it would have been nothing without all of you. =) the end.

Glitch Plans: Definitely. I don't even know what yet. I'm going all out, in that I have no idea what Gwen's gonna run into. I loved The Shining and the kinda random scary WTFness of that kind of haunted place, so I'll be doing stuff like that. Stuff that'll really freak her out. Kat, let's finally team up Gwen and Party to kick ass together? You know she's gonna need it.

Other Plans: Consequences of her glitch, mainly. Lots of dealing. Facing Long when he comes back. Facing Party. Facing everyone in Taxon and generally thinking they think worse of her than they (maybe) do. And More CR please. I'm excited for all of it.

blue_bird | Illyria

Previously: She skulked around contemptuous and angry during the emotions!glitch. Perhaps fought/almost fought with Willow (sorry for being so slow on that thread!)

Glitch Plans: Stuff, definitely. I'm hoping this gets her into things a little bit more. A little more interactions that's not just her musing on the world or whatever. If someone needs help, she can definitely be around to fight stuff, not for any good intentions but just for the challenge/opportunity.

Other Plans: Hmmm....Like I said, I'm relying on the glitch, I think, to get her out there more.

Oh hi ancient overlord being with the name of a city in Bagoas' home regions.

It's about time Illyria got some actual reverence from someone, right? :D

[electro_girl]

REVERENCE FINALLY oh my god can they be best friends?

I need to get her out there more for sure, and I'll definitely tag Bagoas soon!

[sourcebloodaughter]

They probably had a fight or something >> either way, there's lots of angry words flying around.

[electro_girl]

So much posturing from the these two.

[sourcebloodaughter]

yyyy sob

also, gwen and ashley are still up for doing their electrocution deal at some point, yes?

[electro_girl]

oh YES that's right I completely forgot. That'll be great. Gwen will be like: WTF if you were a man you'd be perfect for me. Alas, she'll have to settle. I think they'll get along. =)

[sourcebloodaughter]

haha XD yes, i think they will too :3 i'm good for this whenever, but idk if after the event or during would be best XD

[electro_girl]

Either way would be good for me. we can always have them run into each other in one of the bizarro! parts of the city, in some capacity. But if that doesn't happen then yes we could definitely do it after.

[secretshame]

Yeah. I'm not sure what I'm doing with her for the event, so I guess we can see what happens and which option looks best XD

[a_pretty_fire]

Gwen is going to end up with CR from all three of my characters whether you like it or not.

Maybe it's time Martha found out who Illyria really is?

[electro_girl]

No complaining on this end!

And that sounds like a good idea. She looks enough like Fred for Martha to recognize her, I think. So if they run into each other or something I think she'll get the picture. ;)
