After four months the city Busan is once again under another mutant attack!
Witnesses claim a man and woman were spotted breaking and entering into the Busan police headquarters, through the front doors. It has been reported that they did so by shattering the tempered glass with electricity before screams, gunshots, and more were heard. The security system of the building then commenced lock down, with every entrance, exit and window covered by steel enforced walls.
Reportedly, they have been identified as SHIM CHANGMIN and SON NAEUN, two of the many mutants responsible for the collapse of downtown Busan back in January.
The two were seen breaking through the back of the building about fifteen minutes later with companions, leading the police to believe that their intentions were to break their mutated kind out of the city’s holding cell.
Authorities have reason to believe that the attack was planned in tune with the ambush on the military outpost, where multiple military officers, soldiers, tanks, and artillery were lost in an explosion. Witnesses report that the fire was started by what is claimed to be a fire-spitting bird with metal feathers.
A rough estimate of 50 people were killed in both attacks, with over a hundred more in critical condition. There is no statement from the governor yet, but theories have sprouted that these mutants — terrorists — will not end their reign of chaos here.
We advise citizens to lock up and stay indoors until further notice! If you retain knowledge about any mutants reported or a suspected mutant, please report them to the Busan police.
ONE OF US. ONE OF THEM. THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT, YOU KNOW?
As the roar of confusion surrounding the previous week draws a gradual, stunned silence, the citizens of Busan--frightened, hurt and angry--retreat to what passes as their "normal" lives, never forgetting the news of a mutant woman that tore their city apart. Hate festers, fear rots. The Governor assures them that all will be well when they get back on their feet. They just have to keep trying.
His smile is vague. His words are tainted with a secret, that lies on the tip of his tongue. The General to his left remains tight-lipped. A silent presence bearing over the eloquent, idealistic man with all the weight of a hammer.
"You cannot tell them, Governor Oh."
"Why not? They have a right to the knowledge. That we have mutants on our side--"
"If you reveal the presence of the Acolytes to the city, I will have no choice but to take you into custody. They are a secret for a reason, Governor."
There is a threat in those words, and it isn't one that includes a life behind bars. The man falls quiet.
"What do I say about the woman? Seven?"
"Her handler killed her. But you are to say that the soldiers did--do your job. Assure your citizens that they are safe."
His fingers tap against the edge of the podium, lips forming a small frown. The cameras glare back at him--"Busan, you are safe tonight."
If you participated in the #XFCDOUBT event, in addition to losing the trust of those nearest and dearest to you and likely being traumatized beyond all hope, you have received a special prize !
IDOL NAME — STARTING POINTS + POINTS REWARDED = TOTAL (SKILL LEVEL)
This time, Citizens and Acolytes have been awarded points as well. What these points will count for, only time will tell. Mutant citizens are given a flat starting point of 20. Citizen humans recieve 0. Acolytes, depending on their chosen skillsets may recieve anywhere from 75 to 100 points from the start. Paragraph roleplays for the Doubt event earned 10 points, while Scripts earned 5. If you did not reply to a roleplay, you were not given points for it even if you were tagged. Advancement task points have also been added into the totals of those who completed them.
Those who are cleared for "leveling up" (marked with an asterisk) have a number of options, which will be outlined below:
You may accept this opportunity. We ask that you message us an updated (upgraded) power application segment (including weaknesses) so that we may review how you've leveled up, make any necessary adjustments and mark your progress officially with a new application ! if you are a beginner and have enough points to jump to expert, you may, but we require that you be realistic in doing so. Alternatively, you may choose to jump only one skill level and "store" the remainder of your points until you feel your character is ready to take that leap.
You may ignore this entirely and continue your development as you wish.
If you are listed as an X-Men Candidate, you have the option to apply after participating in a three question interview that will be submitted to your inbox. Your answers will be taken into account and influence what guidance you receive from Xavier, and whether you will be inducted into the ranks. Please keep in mind that his response does not mean you cannot get into the X-Men at a later date, after your character has completed the necessary, IN CHARACTER development.
I realize this wasn't mentioned -- but just to be clear, those currently trapped in city hall will only remain trapped until morning! Meaning that OOC-wise, (since the mini was originally launched on Saturday) you guys have up until the end of today to post up roleplays relating to the mini event!
Though keep in mind that even when let out of city hall, the amount of police and army has risen over the night and the city is now heavily guarded! Meaning that if you attempt to leave city limits after well--you simply can't.
With that said, please like this post in order to be considered for possible targets for the third wave of infection!
