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:

Name: Sky Smith | Doctor Whoverse (Sarah Jane Adventures) | [personal profile] creepyfreezone
Recently: She arrived, she's tried to get used to being on her own, she's trying to get some use out of all the alien stuff in Bannerman road without Mr. Smith there to run them, she was on a boat, she built a thing with Glitch, she got chased by hamsters. Has told a few people she's an alien genocide bomb.
Future Plans: Sky wants to help! So she should find people where her weird alien sensing powers can be used to do cool things, like build stuff, and study stuff. I have a half-baked idea for a glitch where she was never damaged, so her powers are at full force causing rolling blackouts and weirdness in the city.
Type of CR You Want: All the cute family-replacement CR. Sky is kinda codependent in that way.
Other Notes: ...I got nothing.

Name: Daphne Powell | No Ordinary Family | [personal profile] justdysfunctional
Recently: ...she arrived, then the city went dead.
Future Plans: She probably needs a job, and she will just go around peeking at everyone's thoughts regularly because... Daphne's a telepathic gossipy teenager. She probably should pal with the other paths to help poke at her missing memories and put her brain back straight. She also needs to find her own place in the city soon. A glitch idea I had is that her powers get replaced with those of one of her family members (my thoughts being her dad's so she can get angry at super strength breaking things).
Type of CR You Want: She needs ALL THE FRIENDS and ALL THE MENTORS.
Other Notes: Pretend I put a clever gif here.
