First reaction [video]

[now_i_know]

[Shortly after Fury's transmission, another one comes up almost instantly.]

WH-WH-WH-WHY THE HELL ARE WE HOUSING A TERRORIST?! WHAT KINDA WEIRDO SCHOOL IS THIS PLACE?!

[Somebody didn't get the memo.]

Forget that. I'm kicking Nick Fury's ass. [Someone's a little mad about that hacking. A little.]

[voice]

[now_i_know]

What, why? Isn't he military??

((legit, I never thought I'd use these icons))

Re: [voice]

[no_girl]

I could care less! He just shoved me aside like I wasn't the school's security admin! I'm going to kick his ass first chance I get!

[now_i_know]

...you... uh...

...you're school security...?

[She never guessed.]

[no_girl]

The computerized systems, at least. I'm not Mr. Bigby or Ms. Oulan's boss or anything. [Actually, she was, she just couldn't think of herself that way, given they both had a good ten years on her, age wise.]

She is not a terrorist, for a variety of reasons.

As much of a terrorist as those who press for Mutant Registration Act aren't.

[Yeah screw this.]

What does that have to do with anything?

She is the leader of a radical organization, the Mutant Liberation Front. They are as radical in their claimed struggle for freedom as the people who seek to clamp down on mutants.

So they are the same, at least in attitude. Merely on different sides of the same issue.

That's not the point, though! I mean yeah, sure, she might be doing good things and she might be doing bad things, but the thing is that sort of stuff should be out there!

Why bring a conflict in here when we weren't a part of it?

I mean, she didn't ask to come to this place seeking help, did she? Or did she??

[video]

[garganteren]

You're right. It is weird. But I'm not surprised! They've made no secret of their affiliations!

We can't let them keep working against the government and hiding wanted criminals! We have to do something.

[soundandfurry]

But... what did she actually do? They say she's a terrorist, but what does that mean? How do you know you can trust that man, when he forced his way onto the TV?

[garganteren]

How could you say that? She's the leader of a terrorist organization, and she's wanted by the government!

Showing up on a TV doesn't hurt anyone. You know who I don't trust? The administration!

[soundandfurry]

How do you know that? Only because they tell you? How do you decide who to trust?

[video]

[now_i_know]

I don't even know why they're involved. What does this have to do with us? What made them think was this something we'd want to get involved with??

[video]

[garganteren]

That's what I want to know! There are little kids here! Innocent people could get hurt! We shouldn't have to be dragged into this.

On school grounds!

[He's really not happy about this.]

[video]

[now_i_know]

...well, I ain't angry like all that, I just want answers.

There's more goin' on here than we're being told, and I want to know why.

[endurancepoint]

One person's terrorist is another person's hero. Not that I'm saying she is, just consider who all is calling her a terrorist.

And frankly, I'd rather side with Xavier than with the likes of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[It's the whole acronym thing. Can't trust anyone who just goes by an acronym.]

[now_i_know]

...S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Did they make that up? Are they even a part of the military? That just sounds like something a bunch of kids thought would sound cool.

...just when I thought I had things figured, I find out I don't even know what's going on anymore.

[endurancepoint]

Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. Clearly someone got attached to the word 'shield' and ran with it.

I don't think they're part of the American military. It always seemed to me they were an independent organization. I think they're more like a private military company.

[Which just troubles him more, because who has oversight on SHIELD? They clearly think they have the authority to demand Renko handed over, and you don't demand something of a school full of mutants unless you think you have the firepower to back it up.]

I don't think anyone knows exactly what's going on.

[now_i_know]

Now that just makes things even MORE suspicious.

Even if I don't know if we should be handling that Claudine person over to them, either. If they're that far removed from anybody looking over them, then they're capable of doing ANYTHING.

I'm still not sure if we should be keeping her, but I don't know those guys enough to think that they're doing everything on the level.

That whole video thing? It's flash and intimidation, which is pretty stupid if they want a group's cooperation now that I think about it.

Hello, my dear!

[Gilberte isn't in the room, but she waves at her roommate from afar, smiling down into her phone.]

Do not be afraid. Things that are strange, they are often misunderstood. It will be well, I know. The good Professeur, he knows all, you see.

[Actually, she's hoping for something exciting to happen, so her reassurances aren't very sincere.]

[now_i_know]

[Oh, right, the new roommmate...]

[She had... been a bit too busy with work when she got moved over, eh-heh.]

I don't believe in total psychics. If they existed, they would have seen this coming.

...

How are you holdin' up?

[It was the least she could do, since they were roommates and all.]

[monstrueuse]

Who is to say he did not?

[But she laughs.]

But, I mean to say, he is very sensible. A wise man.

I am well! I am glad to see some more excitement!

[now_i_know]

[She. Hmm... Catherine's eyes look tightly on Gilberte for a while. This was... going to be interesting...]

I don't know if this is the type of excitement that I want to be a part of.

[She turns her eyes for a moment.] In fact I never wanted to see this type of excitement ever again...
