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:

Since I flaked out last time: are the psychic nightmares going to be an ongoing occasional thing? Because that would be awesome.

Semi-relatedly: eventually Glitch is going to get up the courage to see about re-connecting with his brain (canonly possible telepathically) and Maddy'll likely be approached for that.

Well, we can make an occasional thing. Times of stress, something something... There are a lot of possible reasons.

OooOooOh! That will be creepy and weird and should be a lot of fun.

That's what I was thinking. basically a rian check/place holder/"catch you next time!" dealio <3

And lol, yeah, creepy and weird is right. High potential for trippy mindscapes, get.

Excellent. Sounds like something that needs to happen then - on both fronts. I like creepy/trippy mindscapes and Maddy is okay with them. She might have to start concentrating on her telepathy more if these things keep happening.
