“So, how does this work nowadays? Do we find the guy with the guitar and sing coombia or start yelling obscenities are everyone who passes by... Cause frankly I could do either.” she said with casually. 

Going anywhere made Anna feel wary, especially after everything that had gone wrong before, but she had to know what was going on. She didn’t exactly expect to be welcomed by even the protesters, so she only watched quietly and stayed on the edge of the crowd, far away from the entrance to the ballroom and the policemen she saw patrolling the area. Now that she was here, it suddenly felt as if she were drawing more attention to herself by not having a sign. That didn’t mean she was any less obvious than Erik was, who had gone in a separate direction. 

He rolled his eyes when the edge of a large sign knocked the cigar out of his hand. “Watch it, kid. Those ain’t free.”

AB: There's some sort of protest going on downtown in response to this party.

RED, WHITE, AND BLOOD — 

The Superhero Relocation Program has been hailed as a success, despite the recent uproar of mutants and humans alike who want it overthrown and actively campaign against it. In reaction to the recent defectors and chaotic events, politicians feel forced to remind everyone who is actually in charge. Magneto’s speech and the recent death of the mayor added fuel to thire fire - and compared to what the second interim mayor was capable of, the old one had been tame.

The new interim mayor has made a public statement. He can no longer allow superheroes and mutants to take control of the streets. This anniversary of the SRP will supersede the one before it. Not only would it reinstate the importance of the ban, but there will be speakers and supporters providing generous donations, time, and effort to make the party as elaborate and ostentatious as possible. It will take place in the historic Apollo Ballroom, famous for the days where it was a jumping jazz club and later a venue for some of the greatest rockstars in the world.

Mutant Activist Jean Grey has elected to lead the protest that will be taking place just outside the ballroom. The area has been roped off from the entrance and lined with policemen ordered to keep the peace. People are gathering with signs and pent up emotion that has been building for weeks. Tensions are high, and people are angry.

And with that, our event has begun! Feel free to start posting starters and starting threads that take place during the party! Remember that this event will last from now, SATURDAY, APRIL 14TH, 6 PM to SATURDAY, APRIL 21ST, 6 PM with a couple of plot drops in between! Tag your posts with the tags STARCEVENT, STARCANNIVERSARY and either STARCPARTY or STARCPROTEST, depending on where your character is! We have a list of who is protesting in THIS POST, and if you would like your characters to join the protest, please shoot the main a message!
