System Glitch: In The City
The artificial sun rises in the artificial sky... just like every day in Taxon. For some of the inhabitants, this has been going on long enough to be very routine.
This morning, though, the light shines over quite a few gaps in the city's architecture. There is no Oxford library, no Hedge Maze. A number of the private residences are simply gone, those that people brought with them to Taxon. And the streets are very empty, indeed: no Extras on the sidewalks, no Extras driving cars. No smiling faces in the corner coffee shop. The trams rattle around the city with nary a soul on board. The streets are silent.
But it's not just the Extras who are gone. Most of the familiar faces are, too. The tablets show only a very short list of 'Contacts'-- those few citizens left in the city proper.
Save for a small handful of Taxon's prisoners-- left rattling around like the last pills in a nearly empty bottle-- the city is deserted, and silent as the grave.
[ OOC: The first of two log posts to kick off the event! For reference, these are the characters who are remaining in the city: Azkadellia, Briar Moss, Charles Xavier (AU), Daphne Powell, DG, Drusilla, Eanes, Illyria, James Holmes, Jenna Sommers, Martha Jones, Remus Lupin, and Wyatt Cain. ]

"If you could figure something out...?"

He moves away and starts working. Transfiguring mundane items into tables and chairs for a small gathering, small things like cups and plates going into the pile.
He'll go and find a hatch for scones and jam and cream. Tea just needs some of the various blends he has stored at home and hot water, both easily managed.

He nods, watching Lupin go rummage and...shapeshift things into other things.
Before he's quite aware, he's turned his head to share some half dry-witted remark on magic with Paul, half would you look at that with Glitch, and it's just a bit too much. It stabs just a bit too close to home that they're not even there, but his brain hasn't caught up with it yet.
"I'll get some fresh fruit or berries," he tells the other guy, and moves to do just that.
