So hey, what are your New Year's resolutions or goals?

[Yep, that's all. Shortest post ever.]

Preferably sooner than that, but look at the Native Americans.

[Sigh.]

[endurancepoint]

Think we share a similar fate?

[defibrillating]

I really hope not... but considering what happened back in my country, I wouldn't doubt it.

That's why this school and the X-Men are so important... to prevent that.

[endurancepoint]

Where are you from, if I might ask?

[defibrillating]

Russia. They tried to murder all us ličínka - um, Russian morlocks - by releasing a necrotic virus in the sewers. Most of us died or got terribly disfigured.

It's pretty much death or become a superweapon slave for the government over there.

[endurancepoint]

I knew it was bad in Russia, but damn. I'm sorry.

As far as I know they never tried that in the UK, but I didn't know much about the Morlock community there.

[He wants to say 'it's okay', but it really wasn't. He lost his voice there, his throat, his ability to eat like a normal person. He became more of a monster than before.]

It's... quite a difference between the human-looking mutant people and people like me when it comes to acceptance. We can't even hide in peace.

That's why I want to help as many people as possible, to prove that we are still the same.

[endurancepoint]

Except the people that really need that proven to them can't be reasoned with. It's going to take nothing short of a miracle to keep Registration from happening. And once it does, even us human-looking mutants won't be able to hide in peace.

Doesn't mean we won't stop trying. If I ever see a FOH person having a heart attack, I will heal them. If that changes their mind, that's a step in the right direction.

I'm not giving up. If we can survive giant robots and organ stealers attacking the institute, we can fight for our right to not be registered.

[endurancepoint]

I'm not giving up either, but just how are we supposed to fight it? Especially when there's groups like the MLF making mutant-human relations even more volatile.

[defibrillating]

I don't know, honestly... but I believe the professor does.

[endurancepoint]

Sure would be nice if he could share his ideas with us. If there's something I could do to help...

[defibrillating]

Start by passing history. One step at the time.

[endurancepoint]

What if I prefer running?

[defibrillating]

Then you might trip.

[endurancepoint]

Tripping isn't bad, as long as you get back up.

[defibrillating]

Point.
