"... sweeping victories in both the House and Senate. Creed and his fellow Last Stand congressmen celebrated today, eager to begin the new legislation they promised in their collective campaign. Senator Creed enthusiastically exclaimed that the era of letting mutants go unchecked were finally going to come to an end..."


"... calling themselves the 'Mutant Liberation Front', or MLF, the campaign of vandalism and propaganda has been extensive in Europe and has started to appear in the United States and Canada as well. The MLF are most recognized by their tag sign of the double helix, along with the word LIBERATE. Most authorities are not incredibly concerned, as the group has been non-violent so far..."


"... as talks have broken down with Genosha. A special ambassador from the United States has been assigned to speak with Genosha on behalf of the US government, Gabrielle Haller, has stated that she will ensure that peace between the two nations will be assured. Haller and President Kelly left for Genosha this morning..."


"... Mutant Arts Council of Greater New York reported record setting turnout for their Halloween charity events in District X and are now focusing on their next seasonal event for the coming holidays. The Council is also looking for volunteers for District X soup kitchens for the winter months..."


"... making her the only platinum record seller in 2018. Industry analysts say that the hype that came as a result of Dazzler's coming out spiked the sales of her album well past anything else that's been release this year. Billboard expects "Mojoworld" to make the double platinum certification before the end of the year, with the Christmas shopping season approaching..."


"... projecting the coldest winter in the last twenty years for much of the United States. Certain voices outside the scientific community have gone from denying climate change to accepting it, under the caveat that climate change is now being blamed on possible mutant interference... "

It isn't nice to meet you, but yeah, I'm new. I'm in 9th grade.

[He's a little surprised that this guy is older than he is, but you never can tell with mutants.]

I haven't been around. I don't go to class.
batteredbatter: (That doesn't sound right.)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-11-21 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow did he seriously just say that? This guy's kind of a jerk]

What, why not? You should come, some of them are really interesting!

[He's not going to say it's nice to be here or to meet these mutants, because it isn't. He won't be insincere!]

Because I'm boycotting everything. I'm protesting being here. I don't want to go to any of those classes. I don't trust this place.
batteredbatter: (Upset)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-11-22 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? It's a really nice school! You're going to end up really far behind if you don't go to class.

[Koshi just... doesn't see what he could possibly find wrong with the school.]
garganteren: (40)

[personal profile] garganteren 2014-11-28 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I'm a prisoner here! I've been kidnapped. It's not nice at all.

Far behind in what? Being brainwashed? No thanks. I don't recognize anyone here as an authority!
batteredbatter: (Oh shi-)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-11-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, you were kidnapped!?

[This is shocking news to Koshi.]

What happened?!
garganteren: (Default)

[personal profile] garganteren 2014-11-28 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I was at home, with my family, and the mutants took me away from them! That's what happened. Just because I'm a mutant—it's not like I want to be. I just want to go home.
batteredbatter: (What the)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-11-29 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
The mutants... you mean the staff here? Wow, I uh, I thought all the students here were voluntarily enrolled... or here because they had no where else to go... that doesn't sound right at all.

[Like, this sounds completely crazy but at the same time he's not about to doubt Eren's story. Obviously this kid would know more about his circumstances than Koshi would.]
garganteren: (03)

[personal profile] garganteren 2014-12-04 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen the people who took me away here, but they were connected to this place.

No, they're not. I'm not. I don't think it's right, either. I want to go home. Or at least, to stay with people who feel the way I do.

[He doesn't want to be forced to live with his political enemies. He doesn't belong here at all.]
batteredbatter: (Upset)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-12-04 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, so like, who were you staying with before then?

[He's not entirely sure about Eren living with people who think Mutants are all dangerous criminals or something, but hey, Eren thinks that so maybe it's not too crazy?]
garganteren: (Default)

[personal profile] garganteren 2014-12-04 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
My family. They adopted me when I was a kid. They've looked after me since then. I was fine with them!

[He's a little defensive, because he doesn't like people questioning his family. He loves his family. He knows that he did something bad, so... of course they were upset with him.]
batteredbatter: (That doesn't sound right.)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-12-04 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Are they still as gung-ho about the mutant registration stuff after finding out you were one?
garganteren: (Default)

[personal profile] garganteren 2014-12-04 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't they be? I should be registered like anyone else.
batteredbatter: (Casual)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-12-05 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, a lot of parents change their mind when they find out it's their kid who's going to be treated that way.
