taxonomites | now i rock a house party at the drop of a hat.

It's around five o'clock in the morning when the citizens of Taxon find themselves inexplicably transported into rooms within the Sanctuary. Doors are left open and beds unmade, food abandoned and lights left on, still shining brightly for those who were awake and are no longer present. The Extras don't seem to notice the captive population's sudden disappearance, continuing on with their business as usual.

For those relocated, though, it's an entirely different story.

They find themselves in rooms with white, alabaster walls that gives them an almost too-clean feeling, as if the entire place was sanitized prior to their arrival. The room assignments are seemingly random, people placed on floors with those they don't know and don't like, people they would rather not be within twenty feet of. It matters not, for what's done is done and cannot be undone. For those who happen to have pets, they'll find them waiting for their owners in the rooms as if nothing is out of the ordinary.

The only thing the captives have managed to bring with them is the clothes on their back and the tablets. On them, they find the following message:

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE PLEASE ENJOY YOUR STAY WHILE WE ADDRESS CERTAIN TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Unfortunately for those who try to find a means of escape, they'll discover there is none. Leaving the Sanctuary will prove to be as difficult as leaving Taxon itself. However, if one heads down the right corridor and the right floor, they'll find something else entirely lurking in their midst...

[ she walks properly into the room, then. a casual, dismissive arm gesture. ] Just that it's -- dangerous. What with all the hot liquids and the cooking and...oh, wait. Maybe it's supposed to be bacon. Right. Bacon. Don't fry bacon without a shirt on -- that's what it is. I guess lobsters are fair game. Keep on semi-nude-ing it up.

We manly men can handle a little bacon grease in the pursuit of half-naked culinary brilliance. [ slight eyebrow raise, and then an oddly graceful bow from the waist. ] Semi-nude it is, then.

[ buffy raises her right hand with a small, mischievous smile. ] No complaints, here.

Are you putting the moves on me? [ note the mock scandalized tone and eyebrows of 'hey baby'. ] Because I entirely approve.

There might be moveage. I mean -- can you blame me?

[ look at you, boy. ]

Is there any way I answer that that doesn't end in you deriding my shameless egoism?

[ oh, he knows. ]

Hey, ego-away. You've clearly earned it.

It was a trial, being born with perfect abs and rakish charm to spare. [ but the grin he throws buffy's way is heavy with irony. ]

Sometimes, I think looking good is some kind of criteria for half the people getting stuck in this place. Haven't you noticed that most of the population is gorgeous?

I hadn't, actually. But now that you mention it... lucky us.
