WARNING(S): if a thread goes into warning label territory, either throw it in the subject line or take it to a separate log.



"... 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... "

[ Watching Tv in the common room or wherever is Azusa, sitting cross legged on the ground with a large poster board in front of her on the floor, with different headlines and pictures and things. She's the type of girl who makes projects like these for fun to decorate her room, or try to get to the truth of some story she's heard or read. Though don't be surprised if the picture of two people have an arrow between them that says "Reincarnation?" or "Magically Linked" or some such nonsense.

When the TV starts talking about Dazzler though she's sitting up, eyes wide at the screen. ]


She's so cool! I wish I could be like her...
soccerwhisperer: (math what is that)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-11-18 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[As he just wandering in, he only hears Azusa comment on the Dazzler report]

Dazzler? She is pretty cool, even though I don't understand her songs most of the time.

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-11-18 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Looking behind her, by tilting her head all the way up, so that she sees the boy upside down, she gives a little smile.

And then breaks out into song, one of Dazzler's of course. ]

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-11-19 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He's confused at first, but can't help but laugh. Dazzler songs sure are full of good feelings.]

Is that her new song?
lovesreporter: (pic#8516811)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-11-19 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Laughing, Azusa finally turns around to see the boy better. ]

That's right. It's my favorite song right now, I think I've had it on repeat for weeks. It's way better than her older stuff. What kind of music do you usually listen to?
soccerwhisperer: (kanari junjou)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-11-20 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
It does sound happier than the other songs. I wonder if it's because she told everyone she was a mutant--I bet she wasn't worrying so much when she recorded it.

Me? I usually just listen to a band from Japan. K-Pistons and TMC. No one really knows about them here, but their songs are good mood makers for soccer practice.

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-11-20 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think of that.. I guess being open about being a mutant is a lot better than trying to hide it from everyone..

[ She pulls her knees up to her chest on the floor where she is, touching her finger to her chin. ]

Really? I don't think I've heard of them, usually I listen to different idol groups, I really love AKD84!

It might be scary, but I think it's good to get rid of that burden in the long run...

They're really catchy and get me pumped up! All of their songs are about doing your best and reaching your potential with your friends.

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-11-24 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
If only people could actually feel safe, being open about being a mutant. After what happened here last month, it's still too early I think...

[ Azusa has her own feelings about the school being attacked, still finding herself a little jumpy when it comes to strange noises at night. ]

Haha, those are some good things to get pumped up about I suppose! Do you have a lot of friends here? [ What's with the sudden personal questions? She's a reporter, and a gossiper to boot, this is what she does. ]
soccerwhisperer: (Default)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-11-25 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
It might take a long time, but I'm sure one day we will.

[He doesn't seem to mind the questions, smiling at the chance to talk about his friends]

I do! And a few really close friends.

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-11-26 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it's up to us as the "young leaders of tomorrow".

[ She says, although she's probably just repeating something Professor Xavier or someone else has told them in class. ]

That's great! [ She can't help it, sometimes she switches into reporter mode and has to get all the info she can out of somebody. ]

You're Tenma Matsukaze, right? [ Azusa is definitely the type of girl who has a notebook filled with all her classmate's names. ]
soccerwhisperer: (math what is that)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-11-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe. I like that.

[He blinks, looking surprised]

That's right...! How did you know?
lovesreporter: (pic#8386702)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-01 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Azusa just smiles and winks. ]

Trade secret. I'm not just any old reporter!
soccerwhisperer: /)_(\ (soccer stop stripping)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-12-03 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Trade secret? Cheeky attitude? His eyes widen a little.]

H--Hey! Don't read my mind!
lovesreporter: (pic#8516786)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-04 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That surprises her a little, so she's quick to pull out a notebook, flipping through a few pages to find page with his class's names all on it with short descriptions, including powers when she can find them. ]

I'm just a reporter! So it's my duty to try to get to know something about everyone! I'm not a mind reader!
soccerwhisperer: (senpai's tears overesaturated the thing)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-12-04 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh--oh.. Haha.. I thought you were a telepath.. [He looks to the side, clearly embarrassed by his mistake]

Well what are your powers then? I have telekinesis and can make illusions.
lovesreporter: (pic#8516783)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-05 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, just an average run of the mill reporter! [ Except for not being that at all really.. ]

Oh! I can do things like that too! I don't have telekinesis though.
soccerwhisperer: (kanari junjou)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-12-05 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That's so cool! Can you get yours on film? I can't take pictures of mine...
lovesreporter: (pic#8516780)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-08 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! It just looks like I got my very own special effects team when I do it though.

Which is pretty cool actually.
soccerwhisperer: (kanari junjou)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-12-08 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds so cool! You could make a whole movie, just with your head!
lovesreporter: (pic#8516798)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-08 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I guess I could. I mean, I've never done anything like that before...

[ Definitely has never made a movie where she acted like a magician fighting evil with magical spells...nope never did anything embarrassing like that in middle school. ]
soccerwhisperer: (math what is that)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-12-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head a little, sensing her sudden embarrassment]

It's not too late to try?
lovesreporter: (pic#8516810)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-10 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess you're right! But I really want to do like a morning news program for the school! I think something like that would be a lot of fun.
soccerwhisperer: (kanari junjou)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-12-10 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like it would be a lot of fun! I'm sure one of the teachers here will want to sponsor something like that.
lovesreporter: (pic#8516802)

[personal profile] lovesreporter 2014-12-11 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You think so? I never really asked a teacher before, I thought they might think it was silly.
