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!

no_rose_tint | Scott Summers

Previously: Scott's been busy meeting everyone he possibly can. He's gone on patrol with Buffy and found a kindred spirit, chatted with the Ozians, met a dragon, the local FBI, a vampire, beat up Cherri for trying to grab his glasses...
And encountered his dead ex-wife, last seen driven insane by the fragmentation of her psyche as a clone. So that's complicated.
I've been assuming he's living at Casa Mutant with Charles, if Cody's cool with that?

Glitch Plans: Scott is slap bang in the middle of the glitch like only a Summers can manage. He's being haunted by the two things in this, firstly, his recent possession by ancient evil En Sabah Nur, manifesting in his creepy control of powers (sometimes) and the trademark tattooing over the face of old Pox-Lips. Secondly, his failure to save his wife or son. He may be struggling to hold control of his grasp of reality, flickering between the belief he's in Egypt modern day, ancient day, in Taxon and just dreaming at home. Reflections of horror creep from every surface and a child's laughter and screaming echoes where he walks.

I'll undoubtedly come up with some more creepies as we go along, but otherwise, no plans. Please come and help the crazy mutant?!

Other Plans: Scott will need someone to slap him awake and speaking English in the big Glitch, but I don't have any other plans, though I have a couple of threads I'd like to tie up with people.
Eventually, Scott and maddie should to meet, face to unwilling face. Maddie-mun? Cool?

[electro_girl]

I don't know how but either Gwen or Illyria can definitely be available for some helping. Mutants need to stick together! Even though she's never really been called a mutant but totally is and it's better than 'freak' so! Yeah!

[no_rose_tint]

And Scott is definitely good at the whole "accidentally killing people" discussion! They can bond over manslaughter!

[electro_girl]

Good point! BEST CONVERSATION TOPIC EVER.

[no_rose_tint]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[genequeen]

Yeah. Maddy and Scott should eventually actually sit down and have coffee.

First he needs to be saved. Any preferences on reaction to him have been Glitch-napped? I mean, there is the disturbance in the Force option.

[no_rose_tint]

I leave it completely at your discretion, m'dear.

[genequeen]

Thank you.

Maddy will have noticed Scott vanishing but she doesn't realize that's what it is that has changed. An important part of the mental landscape has changed! At least to her.

[no_rose_tint]

Yay! he's important!

No worries. There won't be much to reply to at that exact moment, but soon he'll be trying to communicate with the world at large.

[genequeen]

He is SOOOO important.

No, I totally get that. Not a ton to respond to but I wanted her to note it somehow...

[no_rose_tint]

If I'm better tomorrow, I might put up a new post from him. And I do enjoy using my new creepy icon.

[aintnoconvict]

Glitch digs Scott's strategery and general level-headedness, this will get pursued further.

[no_rose_tint]

Yay! Pursuing must happen!

[aintnoconvict]

That and the whole crystal-reproduction visor thing! Wanna handwave delivering the sample and cut to prototype visor-stuff later in the month?

[no_rose_tint]

Actually, I'd love to play through it, since the only sample Scott's going to have is his actual glasses. Excuse to more CR going?

[aintnoconvict]

Fabulous, we shall do it once the plot thingies done \o/

[no_rose_tint]

Certainly shall!
