[OOM: Outside.]

The Nita coming through the front door looks subtly more relaxed than she has for a long time.

Well. Until she sees the notice over the bar.

"Crap."

But a look at her name on the board reveals -- that can't be right, can it? -- a zero.

Well.

But Kit and Dairine's tabs are both up there in red, still. Frowning, Nita sits down at the bar, does not order tea, and thinks.

[OOC: Not here long at all, but slowtime tags are welcomed.]

"Not at all. A mutant with the power to manipulate reality altered time and space so that 99.9 % of all mutants are suddenly humans, without any mutant gene at all. In an instsnt, my race has come near to extinction, wirth ;less than 200 of us left. There has been rioting, and violence and general confusion. Meanwhile, thengovernment, ij their oh so infinite wisdom, has turned the school I work at into what is for all intents and purposes an internment camp, putting all mutants in one place, not letting people leave, and requiring registration. Needless to say, this is not going well."

She blinks.

". . . What year are you from, again?"

[inquisitivehero]

He blinks back at her.

"2006. And a lot of people alwayus say, 'It cant happen here', and 'it can't happen now'. Which is usually when it starts happening. People, most of them, anyway, fear what is different, and what they fear, they often try to destroy."

He sighs.

"We live for a dream. Peaceful coexistance of Humans and Mutants... we had come a long way. Now, in and insatnt, almost all the ground we ever had is lost..."

[nita_callahan]

"So it is happening everywhere . . ." she murmurs. "Geez. I'm so sorry, Hank."

[inquisitivehero]

He smiles a bit with a sigh.

"Thanks, Nita. Most days things are so incredibly busy I dont get back here except for evenings, and sometimes I wonder about those. But Catherine and Lindsey and this place are my sanity now."
