I have witnessed two curses since arriving, and have not been affected by either. I preferred the circus curse to the previous one; the only pair of boots I have been able to afford in this City were vandalised. Also, others were acting strangely.

I have several questions, relating to my universe of origin:

1) What is decimation

Comments

Slow tags I am sorry

[repeatshimself]

Uh, well.

Registration is what happened when Tony Stark decided that Civil Rights only applied to people who signed a piece of paper that had their names age and serial number along with what their powers were and how they planned to use them, and everyone else was pretty much trash under his douchey iron shoes.

Does that answer that?

Nooo problem 8)

[notaweapon]

Tony Stark. Understood.

He has invited us to a meal, on Saturday. Is he not to be trusted?

[repeatshimself]

I don't trust him. It's up to you to make up your mind about him, though.

[notaweapon]

You were not willing to register?

[girlwithabow]

I don't know if you really want to know the answers.

[notaweapon]

I do. That is why I have asked.

[girlwithabow]

The answers aren't pretty, Laura. Especially about the decimation.

[notaweapon]

They are not. Kitty has explained.

I am glad I am here.

[phasedcat]

Are you sure you really want to know the answers? Neither were good things.

[notaweapon]

Kate made a similar comment. If I did not want to know, I would not have asked.

I do not like being uninformed, in any matters.

Private;

[phasedcat]

Okay...

The Decimation was the depowering of the majority of mutants. You return to the X-Men at that point. We lost almost all of the students there and our numbers as mutants were reduced to somewhere around 200. Some of the depowered students were on a bus getting ready to go home when it was bombed by an anti-mutant group and some of them were killed.

Everything gets worse from there. It gets much harder for mutants, harder then it's ever been really.

The Registration Act was an attempt to get superhero's to register in order to be superhero's. Tony Stark as mentioned above was one of the main supporters in the superhero community but there were others. As X-Men we took a mostly neutral stance on it.

[notaweapon]

How were so many mutants depowered?

[a_silent_due]

Killing. Tagging.

[notaweapon]

You are not very helpful.

voice

[a_silent_due]

No help to give, woman. That's all they mean.

[notaweapon]

You are incorrect.

I was referring to specific events.

[tofuinthesky]

I'm an idiot and I'm really sorry about your boots. I can give you the money for a new pair.

[notaweapon]

I do not think that you are an idiot. However, you are very strange.

[tofuinthesky]

No, I am, but I'm not strange. I was curse and an idiot. I would never normally do that to somebody's clothes.

[notaweapon]

You were also not afraid of me.
