This is where the children used to play.
This is only half a mile away from the attack.
This is where my life changed in a day
And then it changed back.
Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions,
I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions.
This is where the allies bombed the school,
They say by mistake.
Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake.
Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting;
I hurry back to my guitar while they're commiserating.
And I'll be leaving soon,
I'll be leaving soon.
Just as soon as we were on the ground,
We were back in the jet.
Just another three day foreign tour we'd never forget.
It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation,
Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation.
And I'll be leaving soon,
I'll be leaving soon.
I can't help anyone cause everyone's so cold.
Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told.
And even I get sick of needing to be sold.
Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone.
An entertaining scandal broke today, but I can't move on.
I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it.
Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger:
A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer.
So I'll be leaving soon,
I'll be leaving soon,
I'll be leaving soon.
I'm having a lot of fun playing the new local shit-disturber and dissident, but I've a few requests that would really help me flesh her out more. So if you're looking for a new character who's already got some links to the established grid, well, maybe you'll want to give one of these concepts some consideration.
I would love, love, love to have someone playing Penny's older brother, who could maybe start making her life a little complicated in ways I haven't yet gotten into on the grid (let's just say he might have cause to not entirely agree with her stance on some key issues). I've left a lot about him open in her background (including his name and age), so if you'd like to play the beleaguered big brother to an anti-mutant activist, please let me know!
Obviously, there are a few secrets she's been keeping about him, so if you're seriously interested in RPing him, drop me a page or @mail on the game (or email me xmr.rogueATgmailDOTcom) and I can fill you in on the dirty details.
It would also be really awesome to get more folks in the ranks of SUFMA (Students for Mutant Accountability) at NYU or a sister chapter at another of the area schools, or another anti-mutant sort in general. Even some humans who haven't made up their mind about the issue would be fun to have around, since I'm sure both sides would have plenty to say to them.
If you're interested in making a SUFMA member, drop me a line and I can fill you in on what little I've established about the group so far (their stance, etc.), but for general anti-mutant types, well, just app away and look me up once you're grid-side!
Of course, this isn't to say I'm not having a wicked time fighting
with all of you mutie-lovers! If you want to pick a fight or just be
annoyed by the perky and opinionated blonde, feel free to poke me for
RP.
