Holiday Glitch / Change of plans!

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.

Spike will be a nebbish poet. He will be shy and attempting to find enough courage to talk to girls about much of anything. He's likely teased, picked on and generally made fun of - possibly also taken out back and beaten up on a regular basis. He likely does well in class which doesn't help him an anyway.

Maddy is going to be a cheerleader. She's going to be super peppy happy girl. She's pretty and outgoing - does decently well in classes and seems to actually be one of those people who actually /is/ that nice. She doesn't talk about her home life much and pretty much, flat out, refuses to tell people where she lives and /never/ invites people home. I'm toying with the idea of a twin sister but I don't know how that might or might not work.

Selina, I think, will be Ally Sheedy from The Breakfast Club. Weird, anti-social and something of a kleptomaniac.

* Spike'll have a fan-of-sorts in Bagoas. The Arts must always be encouraged - especially when coming from pretty boys.

* Maddy will pose such a challenge for Mick, being a borderline trolling stalker type who can't keep his hands off a good mystery.

* Cain'll ask very nicely to get his stolen stuff back from Selina, but otherwise never say a word.

Heee. Spike will have no idea what to do with Bagoas. I can easily see a sort of patron for him there, encouraging him to speak up and try to read in public but he'll be all floppy curls and foot scuffing.

I get the feeling that Maddy will have numerous crushes that she will have no idea how to move forward on. There will likely be much awkwardness with multiple people. "But I though you liked ...?" "Oh. I do but, well, I..."

We'll see how that goes. I imagine the things he asks to have back will appear on his desk whether she stole them or not.

Ambrose will totally stick up for William/Spike, if it's needed. Peace is the way to maintaining the balance in the world, and if peace doess't work, kicking bullies in the kidneys could help.

...yeah he's going to have no idea what to do with Maddy. She may be a victim of random texting, though, just to see what happens.

William will totally need people to stick up for him but he'll have no idea how to, y'know, thank anyone for doing it. He's really not very social. Stuck in his own head a lot.

Heh. I get the feeling a lot of people are going to feel that way about Maddy.

That's cool. Ambrose works in ~mysterious ways~ and will like. Batman out of there.

A mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in pom poms?

*laughs* She doesn't want to be a mystery. People just shouldn't come over to her house. It is better that way.
