it had been a long few days. everyone had felt it. and things were, amazingly, starting to get boring for zachary. so it was time to show his face. there had been hundreds of thousands- maybe even approaching millions- of dollars of property damage and looting, dozens of people in icus across the city and even a handful dead, along with the hundreds of people with minor injuries.
but even blood was getting boring. people seemed to have ignored, or perhaps forgotten, the fact this was for mutants. he wanted to make things better. maybe he’d been a little heavy handed- but then, daken had taught him that the best entrance was a big one.
he found his way to times square. most people were ignoring him, a youngish teen, in decent clothes, keeping to himself? in all this panic, that was practically a saint. until the people causing the fuss over a woman’s handbag noticed him and stopped, coming over.
‘boss?” one of them said, folding his arms over his chest.
‘yes. it’s time. take the fight right to them.”
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
the city is now ignored in favour of all out attacks on superheroes! this includes but is not limited to the x-mansion, the avenger’s tower, the fantastic four tower, the young avenger’s hq... pretty much anywhere there’s a powered person, or someone who wears a cape, or someone who tries to get involved. some of your enemies are powered, some are not- take your pick! mutants, your boost is now ENDED.
at this point you’re still welcome to continue old threads, but please don’t make non-event starters until the event is over!
please continue to tag your starters with #freedevent002 !
there will be an event related Discord chat tomorrow from ~ 6pm GMT. This will be an IC chat- and will involve Zachary directly. Please get involved if you can! If you need a new link, please don’t hesitate to ask!
have fun! if you have any suggestions please give them!
an explosion rocks the city. wait, not just one — not just two, even, but three. the road leading to the x-mansion is hit, the sidewalk outside the avengers tower, and another goes off in times square. they aren’t huge- first responders are overwhelmed with calls of injuries, but there are relatively few dead, and no structural damage seems to have been inflicted. however, panic still spreads, and spreads faster when a face, a masked face, appears on all screens; including billboards, tvs, computers and phones.
“hello, new york. or, more specifically, hello superhero community of new york. i heard all about your little party, your little ‘mutant pride’ event for the 1%. some of us aren’t just happy with your version of proud anymore. but i’ve got an idea. there are more bombs around the city, and some more friends of mine ready and waiting for you to have a nice little fight. have fun. oh, and you’re welcome, mutants. i hope you like the boost.”
the individual in the image glows for a moment, before the screens return to whatever they’d been showing before. all mutants in new york city seem to experience a massive power boost- strength is even stronger, healing factors barely even let you bleed before the cut closes, speed is so much more- and it seems to keep lasting.
and then the reports come in of thugs and brutes attacking businesses, mugging random individuals, attacking groups of people start getting louder and louder.
this is just the beginning...

a glimpse of a world united through a politics of hope and difference; a world where we all could be “mutant and proud”.
t’challa, the king of wakanda, is joining forces with his long time friend, ororo munroe, and her x-men team, for the annual mutant and proud ball.
what is said to be a celebration of the x gene, will unite humans and mutants in a fundraiser for the mutant community. the host has kicked off donations with an astounding two million and all proceeds from the night will be donated to mutant care institutions (and some of it will be secretly donated to the mutant underground, organization that gives shelter to refugee mutants).
the ball will take place at the x-mansion in central park and the guests will be treated to food, drinks, and a massive ice rink.
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION.
the event will take place from saturday 20th ( 10 pm est ) to sunday 21st ( 10 pm est ) !
