[ Stiles is sitting on a wall filming something with his device. That's not unusual. What is unusual is the sudden influx of ... well, his closest bet is mindless drone army but he's not entirely sure that's right. An army would totally have better equipment than the ones he's filming. From what he can see, two of them are carrying spears, one of them seems to be carrying something that looks like a water pistol - probably filled with acid, nothing is ever as fun as it looks - and a third has a regular old machine gun. He's never been super fond of real life machine guns.

To say Stiles has a bad feeling about this would be an understatement. ]

Now would be time for the inspiring quote, right? Like V's 'governments should be afraid of their people' routine, but hey this is the City. And this does not look good. [ Thankfully he's mostly out of sight. For now anyway. ]

I figured people would need a heads-up anyway. Before it's black bags at dawn and creepy uniforms.

This is pretty alarming.

[studmuffin]

You're telling me. I don't wanna live in a police state.

[paving]

If the "government" is overthrown, it won't be a police state - just a state of chaos.

Well, nothing we can do about that except to keep hoping for the better, right?

Some of them are trying to control ability usage. They're pretty serious about it.

[And Charlie's pretty serious about telling them to go fuck themselves.]

Man, if Magneto were still here he'd flip his shit.

[victoria_stay]

Right?! And I'd sit back with popcorn because this shit is ridiculous.

All right, hands up who used the phrase 'you and whose army' recently.

[No but, he actually sounds unsettled, here.]

[studmuffin]

It doesn't really work in your accent, man. [ :C ]

[intheblanks]

Great, that rules me out. You should probably keep out of their way.

[immortal_machine]

No, it doesn't look particularly good for us. The leaders are overreacting, which will cause an acceleration in rebel activity, which will then escalate to violence.

[studmuffin]

Man, you know what, I totally woke up today thinking I sure wish there was a riot going on somewhere. [ Nothing but sarcasm. ] Wishes do come true!

[immortal_machine]

I am unsure if this pattern can be broken. The City has no history of being wise.

[Utsuho looks like she's on some sort of really impressive chemicals. Her eyes are drifty, her voice is slurred, and her pupils are wide and askew.]

Yeah...they, uh, they're already trying to stop us from...doing things. Something like that. Shot me out of the sky and when I tried to light 'em all up, shot me with something else....tired.

[studmuffin]

Oh good, now they're sedating people!

[ He's too stressed for this stuff. ] Can you get to the clinic?

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

'M fine...whee.

Take a nap here now.

Good night...

[brobeforehos]

There is no war with Oceania.

[studmuffin]

Big Brother was always watching, I guess.

[hexuality]

[She sounds irritated as all hell.]

I thought I was done with all this.

[studmuffin]

At least you're not the Girl On Fire? That would be ... awkward.

[lupusalpha]

Stiles, where are you?

[studmuffin]

Um.

[ Near the weird army? ... ] Not in the woods?

[ Shock-horror, he's on a rooftop somewhere in the centre of the City and watching what's going on below. ]

It'd be good for morale. [ Even he's looking on the verge of being freaked out. ] Is it worth a speech on safety or are you already close to the action?

[ Video ]

[studmuffin]

I'm totally safe.

[ He offers Clint a wide grin. He hasn't really seen him in a while and it's good to have that familiar face on the network. ] Why does everyone think I'm next? I'm just chilling on this wall, minding my own business.

[anunluckypenny]

What're the odds that you're someplace safe right now?

[studmuffin]

[ Long, awkward pause. ] Are you sure you want me to answer that?
