I'd say that TAKE is an artlang, no doubt. While it is an
auxlang *within the fictional world of the WHAT*, to my
knowledge it doesn't serve the purpose of an auxlang in the
real world (at least, this is not *intended* by the author);
and if a fictional natlang is an artlang (which is probably
not in doubt at all), a fictional auxlang is an artlang as
well.
