Schedule #17910: Social Studies Workshop: The New Human Is Illegal

Lorna Dane scheduled, On 2024-05-26 at 2024-05-26:22:00:00 Social Studies Workshop: The New Human Is Illegal
A cozy theater in the Genoshan Embassy has been transformed into a presentation space to play host to a gathering of minds organized by the Queen of Genosha, Lorna 'Polaris' Dane for a communal presentation. The themes: * The past and present of Mutantkind, and the cycles of violence which have animated both; * The possibilities of a future free of those cycles and the oppression they fuel; * Imagining the finest tools to shatter those cycles. The invitees: * Any member of Mutantkind interested in discussing or learning; * Any non-member of Mutantkind interested in learning about or discussing modern Mutant history; * Anyone willing to listen to and learn from Mutant perspectives. Presenting is optional. Snacks will be provided. Entry is free to all. OOC: So, since the premise of this scene is a collaborative presentation, my intention is to structure it as roughly three rounds of RP followed by time for open socializing: Round 1: Posing in; kicking off the presentation. Round 2: Finish up Lorna's part, then open the floor for others to pose their additions if desired, ask questions, or otherwise respond. Round 3?: Wrap up and transition into open social time for those who want it. Given the nature of the scene, I just want to make a few points clear: doing a presentation pose is OPTIONAL, and anyone is more than welcome to attend without doing so. IF your character would like to do a presentation, I just ask that you try to write some/all of the pose for it ahead of time, to keep things moving at a good pace. This is not going to be a particularly formal scene, so don't feel as if a complex or in-depth or downright lengthy pose is needed: the goal here is to have fun thinking about and sharing a significant part of many characters' existences, and a major element of the setting at large.
