The internet is functioning.
Satellite companies are broadcasting.
Stores are open for business - smaller companies.
There is a big traveling/wandering market industry - stolen goods, produce, animals, etc.
Restaurants are opening up, very few chains.
Consider all the events that have happened, and then slap an Atomic Age (1950's) feel on things. It's all very scientific and exploratory. Nations are working against and with each other. The world feels more simple than it did in 2007, but things are far more dire. The balance between human and mutant is about to be thrown off. Thanks, Sebastian Shaw. But is it his fault entirely?
More coming soon. It's shake'n'bake, and J helped. ;)
P.S. Has anyone heard from Cathy?
EDIT I wanted to makes some notes about the Hellfire Club, which will hopefully help some of you along with deciding what to do and such.
I want to make it clear that the Hellfire Club is nothing like the Brotherhood is/was. They all have alter egos and keep them. It's all a big masquerade. The reason for their need for wealthy, educated and influential individuals is because they help those mutants/people into high positions in the government, media, companies, etc. And in turn, those people pull strings for the HFC. So, for example, Sebastian Shaw has cleared Dominic Petros' (Avalanche) criminal record and he has been appointed as the new ambassador for Greece. People like Emma and Christian (Aegis) could offer their businesses as tools/vessels for the HFC's use. So, if they're going to be in the Hellfire Club, they should have an outside job. The HFC meets every weekend, however, and they further their plans and mingle ('mingle' here meaning wank), etc. Yay sexy parties. As for Shaw himself, well, vampirism isn't the most fun, is it? He's learned that over the course of the last 2 or so years. It's wearing on his body and soul, but making him all the more business savvy and vicious. He's obtained a weapons manufacturing company (as well as several banks, some he owned before), and has made a contract with the government to create sentinels. Thanks to Emma - she nabbed the plans from Xavier's, who had nabbed them from the government, coincidentally. They (US officials) are unaware that Shaw is a mutant, and believe he is acting in the defense of human beings against Darkseekers, vampires and rogue mutants. He is mainly just trying to attack random, powerful mutants and get them nice and pissed off at the government. Mutiny! Pot-stirring! Thoughts?
