Holiday Glitch / Change of plans!

[taxonmods]

Hey Taxonians! After some late-night mumbling amongst ourselves, and after some amusing-as-all-get-out talk in group chat about glitch ideas, the original plan to do a 'past or future' glitch for the characters is being put on hold until the holiday busy-ness is past for people.
Instead, we're planning some gratuitous silliness for this holiday season: Taxon's going High School.

Starting December 15, characters will turn into silly high school versions of themselves. This does not necessarily mean 'what my character was actually like at age 14-18', it's more a 'stick them into an over-the-top American High School setting and role'. (As an example, Jason Blood's going to be turning into that gothy kid with the eyeliner and the bad poetry who tells people he worships Satan, rather than the earnest would-be knight he probably was as a young man.)

We encourage you to be a student but if you absolutely cannot think of a way that can go, faculty is an option too! Participation is optional, but we really hope everyone plays and has some wacky fun.

The glitch will go until the end of the month, returning everyone to normal in time to ring in the new year. At Taxon High, there's a holiday dance planned and attendance is mandatory...

AND NOW, DISCUSS YOUR PLANS TO INFLICT HIGH SCHOOL SHENANS ON YOUR CHARACTERS AND GIVE THEM EMBARRASSMENT FOR AGES AFTER. Yes good.

Glitch is going to be an Erudite Stoner - minus the hippie throwback stuff - and resemble a younger Aaron Taylor-Johnson. And I have no social structure in mind for him but I think that can be worked on given his schtick.

He comes from a wealthy family, is possibly involved with chorus/choir, and can very likely make a bong out of anything. EDIT: oh and he'll be going by Ambrose. Because.

Ooooh, ooooh! Can Selina hang out with Ambrose? I dunno, it sounds like it would be fun.

[aintnoconvict]

Ally Sheedy from TBC is one of ym many spirit animals, so this can be A Thing. He cna ramble at her and she can steal things from him and they cna show up at the dance looking shabby.

[threelivesdown]

Excellent. I like this idea.

[aintnoconvict]

As do I. There might be weird adorability. Or very loud, melodramatic, ironic singing of pop songs at inappropriate moments.

[genequeen]

I vote for both. Yes.

"Call Me." "Ehn. Maybe."

[aintnoconvict]

Breaking up detention with some Gangnam Style, awyiss.

*snorts* This is a hilarious idea especially since the expressions will be bored as hell while doing it.

* Very Distant Cousins fistbump(?) and also, dude, this is why everyone thinks Mick knows where to get hold of pot et.c.

* Cain'll be watching you, pothead.

* Bagoas will be fascinated by his bong-making skills, but ultimately be put off by the marijuana vapours for no apparent reason. Boo, vague canon references, boo.

* Tokes Totes. And that's weird cuz Brose doesn't deal but he might Know A Guy.

* We'll all watching each other, man, and ourselves. It's sonder, little blips of lives coming and going and someday that mopheaded wastoid's just going to be another name in the yearbook. Kinda makes you think. Or not.

* Can he at least have some of that sparkly rainbow stuff? And some cookies?

[thepersianyouth]

He can have something even better. Sprinklings of rosewater. Now you're one of us, mwarharharhar

[aintnoconvict]

That's cool too, oneness and belonging and hey thanks for covering up the weed stank a little.

...but seriously cookies cuz he's hungry all the time for some reason also cute shoes, Bags.

MORE FUN FACTS: his family's fairly conservative and he spent an obnoxious period in sophmore year reading Atlas Shrugged and spouting Objectivist cliches. Things have since changed thank God.

He likes sending random texts to people. Usually song lyrics. Sometimes horrifying things he's found on TFLN.

Hilariously a good student, used to be vying for valedictorian but he doesn't want to be boxed in by his mom's society's expectations. Ambrose is generally friendly but not overly outgoing, a good listener when he's not rambling, and he doesn't really flirt.

This icon is going to be abused a lot.

[buffy_slayer]

Should I assume that Ambrose is the go-to person for all things drug-related?

[aintnoconvict]

Most likely, yes. He knows a guy.
