The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning

[1//ACTION//TEAMMATES AND CLOSE FRIENDS, EARLY AFTERNOON]

[Liir paces nervously, something unusual for someone generally low key. He clears his throat.]

I just wanted to tell you that...My name isn't Liir Ko. It's Liir Thropp. I'm the son of Elphaba Thropp, the so-called 'witch of the west'.

[2//VIDEO//EARLY EVENING//OPEN]

[Liir appears, looking a little nervous but somewhat calmer than he was earlier.]

Fellow students and staff of the Xavier Institute: there is something about myself that I've been hiding which I'd like to tell you...My name isn't Liir Ko. It's Liir Thropp. I'm the son of Elphaba Thropp, the so-called 'witch of the west'. I came here, not as a foreign exchange student, but under Proffesor Xavier's protection, which I'll always be grateful for. I've seen the very human side of one of our mutant leaders up close. And knowing that I'd like to ask you to please not judge Claudine Renko too harshly. Being a leader takes a terrible toll on you. It makes you grow around the pressure it places on you, like a...tree growing against a clifface. Someday I think she'll go back to being Renko, Leader of Mutants. And when she does I think she'll avoid repeating the mistakes Magneto and my mother made.

Thank you for your time and I'm sorry for the deception and the implied egotism of making such a big announcement.

[1: Action]

[After failing spectacularly to establish good relations with Claudine Renko, Liir has shut himself in his room to mope. He reads. He sleeps. He looks at pro-mutant blogs on tumblr. He does not talk to people.]

[2: Notes]

[Liir's got over himself a bit. Around the school can be found a number of printed notes, taped up in different locations. They say:]

Looking to form a team based on the principals of mutant liberation, not kissing the ring of the flatscans in the name of 'peace'. Contact this number: 717-1738

[The number is a prepaid, throwaway phone. They can't be too cautious.]

[3: Action/Private to Eren]

[Room assignments seem to have been switched around. Liir shrugs, packs up his few possessions (dollar store toiletries, an old sheet, pillow made from a bedroll, second hand clothes, an Ozian army dress uniform, a large book and an old broom) and makes his way to his new room. When he sees his roommate though, he's silent for a few seconds.]

...Shit.

[Text//Open]

What's going on in District X? The news accounts are contradictory and it's hard to sort fact from fiction.

[Action: Private to Rin Tohsaka]

Liir catches Rin when they're both alone, at lunch (or at least he's alone, since he often radiates such a brooding aura it takes real effort to sit next to him, especially for telepaths).

"It looks like something big's about to happen. Now might be the time to leverage our positions..."

He doesn't pay much attention to Rin's 'newly' black hair. Maybe that's just a thing girls do regularly. He doesn't know, having just spent years in the Ozian army, which is not exactly a bastion of progressivism.

[Voice: Private to Rin Tousaka]

Why is there another of you.
