State of the Taxon: One Day Early!

Greeting Taxon! It’s April, time to shower you all with information!

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

APRIL FOOL’S: After March came in like a...horrible monster with fangs and claws and a thagomizer, the aliens have opted for April to begin on a lighter, whimsical note. For all of April 1st the city will be filled with harmless pranks like buckets of water or glitter balanced atop doors, cream pies left just sitting around waiting to be thrown in someone’s face, and whoopee cushions in the damnedest spots. Careful opening any containers today as “snakes” may jump out, and handshakes may result in mild electric shocks.

TAXIVERSARY: The Taxon Project begins its fourth year on April 15th! Stuff will happen! It is a surprise!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
→ First off, we want to thank you for all your feedback on the HMD. We’re assembling a modly response to it and will have that up shortly. Also we want to say that we’re thrilled with the overall response to the HMD and want to encourage further discussion if you feel the need to have it.

→ Taxon has a tumblr! Or a thing for Keri to waste time on at work! One thing that’s always been a frustration is being unable to really provide a proper visual example for what the city looks like. Hopefully Taxitecture provides the next best thing! Each image is set in a particular district (Central, Osten, Speares, etc.) and is further tagged with functionality. Or it’s just there to be pretty. If you’re looking for a place to set your next post you can check out public spaces, or if your character is in need of a home you can choose a residence. The tumblr’s there for inspirations, scroll through and see what you come up with!

→ As ever, we want to hear from you! Email or PM the mod account, hit one of us up on AIM, grab Keri on plurk, or you can always hit up the suggestions or complaints posts if needed.


AROUND THE CITY
Weather/atmosphere: The weather’s staying with Batumi and getting increasingly warm and pleasant!

Really, spring is bustin’ out all over with flowers and pretty floral bonnets and the introduction of songbirds and squirrels to the city’s wildlife. It’s a glorious season so long as you don’t mind the occasional wicked witch.

Freebies: Candy and the aforementioned bonnets will be available from the hatches and stores. If that seems cheap? Don’t fret, the aliens aren’t letting the project’s birthday pass without giving the citizens presents. They’ll have a blast.

Awesome, It’s A Party!: Down at the beach in Osten spring break is in full swing! It’ll be noticeably warmed at the coast, and anyone exploring that way will encounter a brand new five star resort as well as numerous skeevy dive joints and bass-thumping clubs. Take a break, play some volleyball, shake your groove thing, and

Josef and Spike! This should happen. Any ideas or should they just show up in the same place?

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-02 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Because this will be the best idea ever. The options are few but, yeah. She's going to become going to become Gollum, I swear.

Hi tiny I see you creeping on Glitch's post. The nice man with the cranium-zip and the ridiculous fashion sense will try and help as best he can.

I do this every time too! I remember thinking Gwen might be interested by his mutant friendly place, and then dropped the ball. We'll do better.

Exactly!

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-02 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH, TEA PARTY!

Or, y'know, random telepathic field trips.

Over-protective mom, go!

What? This plays into all of her crazy? Well, then, let's just unearth some of that, shall we?

[personal profile] brokenoptimism 2012-04-02 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Foster Mom and Dad of Taxon are a go.

[personal profile] brokenoptimism 2012-04-02 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Oh. Let us go to the planetarium and look at all the not!earth stars. Charles wants to see them and ride the train and go to the zoo and read all the books and oooh he can not decide what to do first.

[personal profile] angry_salad | ARTHUR

Previously: Arrival! Texting everyone! Coffee with Madelyne! Confusing Bagoas! HOLY FUCK A DRAGON

Glitch Plans: None yet. Want to let Arthur settle in first.

Other Plans: Trying not to spam the entire community, but Arthur's frantically running around trying to get things set up and trying to get his hands on the parts to build a PASIV, which is basically the device that allows him and the rest of the Inception cast to ~go deeper~ into everyone's dreams.

And don't think Taxon's citizens are free.

Glitch and Arthur need to have a Talk. About dreams.

[personal profile] angry_salad 2012-04-02 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Arthur might be able to help Ashley with the mom thing--my headcanon is that he's had to deal with that sort of stuff. I'm TOTALLY down for a friendship line/bro-type line if you are?

This is so very happening.

...SOB Glitch trying to explain recent alterna-Taxon shenanigans is going to get awkward.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

I WANT ALL OF YOUR CR JUST ALL OF IT JUST LET ME LOVE YOU STEPHANIE LET ME LOVE YOU.
loveawkward: (Josef)

[personal profile] loveawkward 2012-04-02 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh definitely! It must. Showing up would work well, of course. There's always the possibility of Josef using the tablet and networking, which I can entirely see him doing. Is Spike known for what he is?

SPIIIKKKEEE.

Illyria will be VERY INTERESTED AND POSSIBLY CONFUSED at the complicated Drusilla/Spike relationship. I don't think any amount of explanation will ever make her Get It. But that's okay. Because she doesn't Get a lot of stuff, does she?

Anyway I'm enjoying his interactions with both the blue goddess and Gwen and I want more more more.

[personal profile] no_rose_tint 2012-04-03 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. Scott will completely enable her.

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-03 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear.

Heh. Heh heh.
genequeen: (Default)

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-03 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Wheeeeee!

Well, there is a lot that can be done, I'm sure.
genequeen: (Default)

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-03 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Spike will have a hard time explaining the Spike/Dru relationship. it isn't something you really explain, you know? It just is.

I'm loving the RP so far. Ilyria is especially a treat since he can tweak her from a distance.

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-03 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see what you're trying to do.

Wait, probably the weirdest method of matchmaking ever.
genequeen: (Default)

[personal profile] genequeen 2012-04-03 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
He hasn't been here long, so I don't think it is public knowledge beyond the people who know him. Still, if you want to put up a post, I can throw him at it and we can go from there. He's trying to figure out buying clothes since the clothes he stole aren't working for him.

At all.
