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.

Paul is a clever young man who is on the fast track to success, okay, and fuck you if you get in his way. He pulls good grades, always with an eye on his GPA, and primarily is involved in the theatre club, where he rules with a catty iron fist or something.

He's gay, and makes no bones about that, but has not actually joined the LGBT club on campus. He's side-eyeing it and deciding whether or not it would look good on his college applications or not. Weighing it down to the gram.

He blasts opera from his car in the school parking lot and doesn't give a shit who hears it. He also is on the school fencing team.

He's got a soft spot for misfits, kinda, sorta, but also is like, hey, self-reliance, don't let the fuckers push you around, come on, learn to pick a locker from the inside OKAY. He can sometimes be a dick.

...wait, like, studying and working for grades? What is this madness, like, the A's don't just magically come to you from your mystical genius brianspace? That must suck, and you must resent the fuck out of slacker assholes who pull that shit >.>

Dig the opera, though.

He has a happy costumer in Metody, who's size and taste forced him to learn how to sew. Not that Metody can make costumes for the whole cast - but he can do some tailoring and fancy work. He'll also happily build or paint sets, or lurk in the background of a scene as a kid or whatever. And sinfe Paul's gay, he gets accosted to buy baked goods on a regular basis.
