[opposite event] This is a story all about how Taxon got flipped, turned upside down.

[eventextras.livejournal.com]

The idea, as it had been initially presented, was for citizens to experience what it was like to walk in someone else's shoes. In practice it became discovering what it was like to walk in their own shoes, if their taste in shoes were suddenly quite different from normal. The footwear still fit and was comfy, but the style was quite different.

For two weeks the prisoners of Taxon swapped their utilitarian Doc Martin's for trendy Louboutins (or vice versa) and all manner of shenanigans reigned.

Someone had a serious case of voyeur obsession. It didn't help that half of what the woman said didn't make sense.

"Take it you're a big fan of Shakespeare, then?" That was the one, right? With all of the bloody tragedies and the lovers killing themselves or whatever. Not that it really mattered. "I'm sure you can find a nice book with lots of blood and gore in whatever dungeon you live in."

"A dungeon?" Drusilla wriggled happily at the idea. "I always like dungeons. Especially if there are pretty little girls and boys chained up to wait for me."

It wasn't the same when it was empty. Or when you couldn't even have the tiniest of bites to fill your rumbling stomach.

Unfortunately, instead of scaring Kaylee, Drusilla only seemed to peak a morbid interest. It was all fine, well and good to taunt someone, but this lady, for as proper as she sounded, seemed like she could actually provide information and insight into the actual act.

Kaylee looked at her thoughtfully and finally closed the magazine. "Just what time period are you from, honey?"

Morbid interest was ... new. Curious. It attracted Drusilla's interest in a way that the more familiar feeling of fear, as delicious and intoxicating as it was, never could.

"I was born when Queen Victoria sat on her throne in London. A lovely woman, she was. She mourned herself all the way to death."

And this was definitely new and interesting for Kaylee. To have this woman here, as adapted to the situation as she seemed to be, had so many possibilities to it that Kaylee couldn't even begin to think them all up.

"And I take it you've got personal experience in these old-time chambers?"

"Centuries of it," she confirmed with a nod and a smile and her eyes - bright with interest and hunger and curiosity and age - fixed on Kaylee. "Years and years and years."
