So this was Christmas, and War was Not Over. The soup lines, this time, were alongside official Vaccine Centers, cures to the Legacy Virus being handed out alongside plates of hot food for the needy. Once more, winter was bleak in the world of mutants living in forced squalor. Attitudes were not particularly bright. People were no longer dying in the streets from illness, but were conditions really any better? War with Genosha was imminent. The National Guard was already standing post around the community, enforcing curfews, treating the area now more than ever like an internment community. Xavier's students were allowed to move around freely, but only with special ID badges that marked them as such. It was the same all over the country.
This wasn't Mutant Registration... it somehow felt worse. And it didn't help that the Mutant Liberation Front was still very active in the area, and many of them entirely blamed the X-Men for Renko's apparent 'death'. There were antagonistic forces around them, and desperate faces looking at them for some kind of hope. And if they couldn't get it there...
There were whispers, a lot of them, about fleeing to Genosha. About joining the MLF and working alongside Genosha for 'true' mutant liberation. About kickstarting this war on local soil. And really...
... was there anything the X-Men could do to stop it? Should they stop it?

"Seems they've made up their minds..." though she could easily change them if she wished...

Liir wasn't about to let a Morlock get attacked on his watch. As a mutie who passed pretty easily, he felt a mixture of guilt and admiration for them.
"You people are doing the Friends' work for them! Go read up on what 'unity' means."
Probably the wrong thing to say to them, schoolboy. Now it looks like you're looking down on them.

"Let me handle this," she growled, turning deep green eyes to the crowd, as well as making sure her fangs and claws were very visible (her ears were well kept under a hat... what? it was fucking cold!)
"If you're pissed off about Renko, go do it somewhere else. Right now, the situation is shit and doing anything about it will just put you in jail, so why don't you start picking up the canned food and handing it out to your people! Do something instead of whining!" She sounded like an angry mom...

Liir accepted being literally put in his place. Let someone competent handle it.

"The fuck are you smiling at?"

It looked like she'd calmed things down, as counterintuitive as that seemed. He didn't have to expect a fight. Which was good, as he didn't know he'd handle it with his own kind.
no subject
"What I wouldn't give for something to smoke right about now..."
no subject
"Right. Sorry."
He opened his mouth to lecture her about vices, but it died on his lips. He let it go. Who was he to preach about vices with the stress they were under? Especially to a Morlock.
"None of the locals can help?"
