Rally time!
To reiterate, the mutant-human tensions in Los Angeles are heating up to a boiling point. The situation is going to escalate until one fateful day in the near future when the animosity erupts into full-blown genetic riots that turn Los Santos into a war zone.
We're hoping to ramp up those tensions in increments. That'll probably happen in a few big story threads. In "Monstrous," Alex brought up the idea of going to a mutant rally (http://75.126.43.122/forum/showpost.php?p=358369&postcount=23) in front of a courthouse to support a lawsuit against the Mutant Registration Act. There will be over a hundred mutants there protesting the MRA, and at least that many humans counter-protesting in favor of the MRA. The LAPD will be out in force to keep the two groups apart, and Stern's fledgling Mutant Crimes Unit (http://75.126.43.122/forum/showthread.php?t=21693) will be on-hand to assist in keeping the peace. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood will be monitoring the situation in case their intervention is required.
The plan is that things will indeed get ugly with a clash between human and mutant protesters. The kids will, of course, be caught in the middle.
I'm seeing this story being a "disaster narrowly averted" scenario, largely thanks to the MCU officers swooping in and breaking things up without gunfire. There will be arrests of both mutants and humans, and it'll take a while for all the House kids find each other.
As threads with lots of posters tend to bog down, I think it's best to play a little fast and loose with the posting order. If it makes sense for your character to post next, go ahead. If we get split up into groups, each group can carry on their own action.
I do have plans for Alex and Lana to get secreted off in the confusion by Spectre, who'll have a little chitchat with them in another thread. Any other ideas, things you want to accomplish?
