P3: The New Mutant Community

[Fate]

It Finally Happened...
the secret is out...
Kalispell knows

In a local news segment, the local group of harmless hippies was interviewed. During said interview, they revealed conclusively the existence of mutants, outing not only themselves, but Bellefonte Academy in the process. Academy and government officials worked in tandem to make sure that the information did not get further than that, but everyone in Kalispell now knows the truth:

Mutants are real.
And they live in their town.

Opinion is mixed. Some of the townsfolk are all for mutants. Most of those are the ones who have encountered and/or befriend those who happen to be connected with Bellefonte Academy in some form or fashion, or perhaps they've been paying attention to what's happened to and around mutants up until this point. This is the local school, a place that's been holding fairs and festivals and helping around town for years now. Many locals have loved ones in the school too. And everyone heard about the tragic shootings last year, where innocent children were gunned down. So for the most part, the two is coming out in support of mutants, and many places, most places, are welcoming them with open arms.

However, naturally, there are some that are very much against this. Why would they want these freaks here? What are the mutants bringing by trouble? They've already been attacked once, and who's to say that won't happen again? And now there's these giant bands of freaks running around.

So things have become tense, as Kalispell makes its first steps into becoming the first out mutant community in the world. The school and the government have worked very hard to make sure that the information stays local, so only the residents of the town know. How long this can be kept secret, however, is anyone's guess. The school and the government have been suppressing it for a while, but they never had to convince an entire community to go along with it. Thus far, very few actual mutants have been outed. The school, its grounds and its students, are definitely safe, and for the most part, life should continue as normal.

But will mutants be willing to step out, knowing the risks involved with "coming out?" Or will they try to keep living their lives as normal? Will the residents of Kalispell continue to be welcoming, or will something happen to turn the tide? What will this spell for the future of mutant, of humankind?

The choice, and the direction of the community, is in your hands.

Some more clarification:

The other schools are not yet aware of what's happening. Any transfers would definitely be surprised to find out that Kalispell is "mutant-aware" let alone "mutant-friendly."

If there is any interest in playing or creating characters that would attempt to stir the pot in some form or fashion, causing unrest or trying to lead humans against the mutants and the school, or even possibly remnants of SPECTRE, please let the staff know. We'd love to be able to take your ideas and work with them, and there's definitely room to work with this particular plot.

As a result of this latest outing, a new group has also appeared if you have any interest in RPing as them. The Inherited, this mutant clan that has caused all these problems, are now available for playing. Information can be found here. If you've any questions, feel free to PM a staff member.
