"...demonstrations quickly broke into violence as members of both Friends of Humanity and the Mutant Liberation Front attacked one another in various scuffles all throughout the evening in various locations around the US, particularly in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington DC. Police have attempted to keep the situation under control, but neither group has made it very easy..."


"... President Kelly's return has also brought on several questions about the Genoshan situation and now the current strife in the US has effected those negotations. Kelly has simply stated that he has faith in the ambassadors still in Genosha and in the American people to come to a peaceful resolution on the mutant crisis..."


"... in an extremely rare interview, Shaw told Rosetta Riley that, in his view, Mutant Registration was the precipice of the not just the new decade, but what would shape the way historians looked at the early 21st century entirely. He said that while he regrets his company in their involvement in Project Wideawake, he still supports Registration on principle, he just feels the federal government has very little in the way of resources to enforce it the way it would be needed to fairness and liberty for mutant citizens...."


"... soup kitchens across District X were defaced overnight with anti-mutant graffiti, much of which parodying the now famous MLF logo. Some of them even had their food stocks tampered with, forcing organizers to scramble to make up for the damaged food..."


"... found dead after the protests cleared out, with the MLF logo spraypainted on his back. Relatives and mourners described the young man as a positive force in his community. He had many mutant friends as well, who described his death as unjustifiable and proof that the MLF is as dangerous as those they claim to fight against..."

I meant to type "mentally rattling off" but imma roll with it

[friendofdorothy]

"Secret vanguards? And here I thought you were such a man of the masses."

A riff on the obvious fact that Reimu hates most people or at least finds them irritating.

[musou_tensei]

Which manages to get a smirk from the kannushi. Sempai noticed Liir.

"Either way, it will likely fall on us to investigate what really happened. I don't exactly trust any group involved to present the truth."

[friendofdorothy]

"If only I could obtain part of the body..."

Which causes him to blush green a bit, since that came out a little weird and morbid.

[musou_tensei]

"You got some kind of forensic ability you didn't tell me about?" Or at least an application of his power that could come in handy... breaking into a coroner's office somehow didn't strike someone like Reimu Hakurei as amoral.

[friendofdorothy]

"It...just emerged. I keep seeing the past of things."

Well, that was a relief. Or worrying in an entirely different way. Not that Liir had any room to judge.

[musou_tensei]

"... So what you're saying is we get you to his body, you can find out who actually killed him?" Reimu seemed serious about the idea.

[friendofdorothy]

Oh. Well. I suppose this serves me right. Thought Liir, who had been so gung ho about helping Reimu's team earlier.

"I'll at least see a good portion of his memories."

Remembering, he tucks his hands into his jacket. He doesn't want to intrude on Reimu's privacy either.

[musou_tensei]

"Hmm... Though, I don't think Xavier would approve a mission like that, thinking about it," Reimu thought out loud, tapping at his chin. "Still, it's something to think about."

[friendofdorothy]

Liir shrugs. At least Reimu thinks he might be useful.

"I wouldn't need a whole body part, necessarily. Just a clip of his hair might tell me enough."

[musou_tensei]

"I'll talk to Xavier about it. For now, try not to engage in open speculation around the young, dumb, and impressionable."

[friendofdorothy]

Ah, secrecy of operations. Out of the military, into the paramilitary. He thought. He went a little green.

"Right. Won't give any of our hotheads any incitement from now on."

[musou_tensei]

"Good... You might be cut out for the team yet, kid." And here Reimu had just thought there was nothing to Liir but being stuffy and awkward.
