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...

Blame the wheel, Willow.

Its (relative to the rest of its size) little tail gives a quick wiggle as it struggles with the doorknob. This is difficult without thumbs, okay?

"It wasn't my idea!" It sounds desperate but sincere, and quite squeaky. "I was against it from the start! Aaaaah!"

The door finally opens and it does its best to close it before Willow gets any closer.

"Blame Mayhem!"

She blames all of you!

"Hey! Who's Mayhem? Is he one of your guys?"

Yeah, she sees that door and she's just going to try pulling it open again. Such a lucky alien that she's not thinking to use magic to force it open, but that might be her next choice.

"Sometimes! Kind of!"

It pulls back as hard as it can with it's comparably little hamster paws.

"He's very disagreeable!"

...Hamster that is not helping.

Not helping at all. Hope the fuzzy little thing is strong because on the count of three, Willow's going to resort to her special powers. She is tired of this already.

"How do I find him? I've got a few words for him."

Because clearly the best way to deal with a situation like this is to threaten one of the captors.

The Hamster is strong, but it's sorely lacking in the grip department. Now it stands looking a little terrified and hoping Willow will let him go soon.

"He'll find you. That's usually how he works."

But then he taps the wall next to him and there's light coming out of it.

Willow's not particularly strong, either, but she's determined not to let this thing get away if she can help it. The light thing makes her eyes widen and she struggles to keep the door open further. She wants to know what this light is about and where it's coming from and why.

"Find me? Well, tell him I want to talk to him!"

Not helping your case, Willow.

"Okay!"

Well, that was easy. Hopefully this means Willow has been appeased and won't skin him.

"I'll tell him! Soon as I see him, promise!"

And with that, he tumbles through the light (a door, upon closer inspection) and then the light is gone.

Not appeased, never appeased. But Willow's stopped from giving anything but a few angry yells as the hamster disappears through another door. Stupid hamster aliens!
