Cut & Dry

[Penelope Adams]

Good morning Miss. Fisher. My name is Penelope Adams and I work for the Bellefonte School Newspaper - now, to my understanding, you're not very fond of mutants in general, but I'm sure we can both put our differences aside, if interested, of course, and have a little chat of me interviewing you. Don't worry, I'll make sure not to put any of my own personal thoughts and beliefs into the final product. I'd just like to understand the reasoning behind everything you, and in a way, this might even end up being good promotion for you.

What do you say?

Thank you,
Penelope Adams

Dear Miss Adams.



What a wonderful idea! Allow me to express my gratitude over how you approched this, normally all your kind does is scream and shout at me in the street. Such horrible abuse, you can’t even imagine. I don’t think many people gives a moment thought to how difficult it is to be me. I happen to be quite busy at the moment campaigning for mayor. But I’ll be more than happy to conduct an interview despite it being a paper read mostly by freaks and abominations. I’m nothing if not reasonable.



Hugs and Kisses



E. M. Fisher

I can't speak for the rest of my peers, but I'd like to at least know why I'm shouting before I actually do so. First of all, if we're going to keep this civilized, you should probably stray away from calling me and mine "freaks and abominations". We want to keep this professional after all, no?

Unless the questions ask for you personal opinions, of course.

Now, first of all. How did you end up becoming the leader of AMA?

[Elizabeth Fisher]

Oh no, I’m perfectly civil and nothing but professonal, Please don’t think I call your kind freaks as a way to hurt you. No, I say it because that’s what you are. Freaks and abominations. I understand how hard that must be hard for you to hear, but the truth often is. And that’s what I do. I love the mutant community enough to tell them the truth.

…..You’re welcome

Well, the AMA, was a group that I started just after the existence of mutants were made public, of course I knew about it for quite some time, but it was nice to have the confirmation, and we formed a few days after the announcement, of course in the early days we just picketed the funerals of dead mutants but we’ve grown since then

[Penelope Adams]

Alright, so then I suppose you wouldn't mind me calling your kind under-developed and lower ranked in terms of evolution. Oh oops. I forgot. You probably don't even believe in evolution. My bad. Well, I guess you could say we're made from the brain of Adam whereas you guys are merely rib bones. Ah, being civil and honest is so much fun, don't you think?

How would you feel if we arrived at your funerals? Shouldn't there be some semblance of equality here? I mean, we didn't ask to be born this way, therefore, it can't be held against us, right?

[Elizabeth Fisher]

Well, first off. I don’t appreciate the confrontational tone you’re talking with me. May I remind you that I agreed to do this interview, I’m under no obligation to do this for you. I don’t expect a thank you, but I do expect a certain amount of respect to be exchanged after I’ve given you time off my busy schedule to do this.



This isn’t about me, this is about a town overrule and hurt by a community of mutants that be treated like they are above the law and I’m here to make sure they are held accountable for their actions.

[Penelope Adams]

If you don't like my tone, no one's forcing you to stay. I'll just write my article based on what you've given me so far, and boy it doesn't look good for you.

So you're for equality? That everyone are judged and treated as individuals, not because of their sex, gender, race or mutation?
