Inbetween Days
Chess
"Pawns. Rooks. Bishops. Queens. All are pieces. All are players. All sacrificable to the King.
On the playing field, an array of forces are engaged to take out opposing sides. Open warfare. Covert moves. Either. Both.
What happens when Generation X is caught between saving the life of one of their own and acting in the better interests of all mutantkind? As precious and hard-won concessions are slowly wittled away, can they afford to engage in a no-hold's barred efford to reclaim that which is theirs? Or is the price they will pay too great, not just for them, but for all of mutantdom.
And what happens when there are more players on the table than there are sides? Who lies behind the factions, playing one off against the other?
When a decades-long quest to cleanse the planet of mutation begins to flower at last and the dreams of one of the X-Men's most deadliest foes come to fruition, what will be left standing to pick up the pieces?
'Chess'. Come play..."

"A tragic fight. A single shot. A precedent-setting case. As the nation and the world watch justice play itself out in the courthouse, few realise just how tenuous the situation across America truly is.
From the mutant cantons--only recently given a semblance of sovereignty--the drumbeat of war as all their people can see is a lynchmob at the cusp of the 21st Century.
From the cities across America--still staggering from the violence of mutant-human riots that wracked the mid-Nineties--fear grips the average citizen as they wonder what have they given birth to amidst their venerable communities.
On the other side of the world, a quiet, quiescent Great Power begins to stretch...
America has slept for too long, dreaming the dreams of the deluded. The naive. The hopeful.
'Vigilantibus Et Non Dormientibus Jura Subveniunt'
It's too late now to turn back..."
