Jem's Notes on IoF-verse

[Deleted]

Since I'm constantly asking questions about the world, might as well keep record of the answers I've gotten from Puchi and Dee and Saph* uwu I'll just continuously be adding more stuff as I ask more questions. Because endless questions. 

Weeds

• Uniforms = no
  
• Younger kids would probably have the chance to pack some things before going off to school. Volatile/older kids like Gil would basically be scooped up with whatever they have on them. Anyone can go to the teachers to ask for more clothes, blankets, or any kind of necessities. Teachers will provide with whatever they can get. The government will fund for simple needs like that.
• Coming in late Gil would have been tossed into the dorm after getting the rules explained. Would have been tested quickly to see where his levels were at everything (whereas other mutants would have spent the first three years of school doing such). From there everything would be focused on teaching him how to be a 'good mutant' around humans.
• they don't have many dorm rooms to afford a mutant to be on his own
  
• can be 3 to a dorm
• room assignments can be shifted around every year after graduation
• Younger children are brainwashed with twisted anti-mutant/pro-slavery fairy tales :3

Underground

• Cells have: bed, toilet, sink
• 3 at most to a cell
• Some special accommodations are made to keep mutants sellable/under control (Hammy's cell kept in complete darkness/light, Gil with sunglasses, chained linked fences along the bottom half of the barred wall if Lovi's in the cell)
• Shower time: a hose. if you don't let them handcuff you and remove you enjoy a soaked cell
• Most prison-guards carry batons and tazer/stun-guns, so I'd say that'd be the norm in the Underground as well? Though I'm sure the experienced guards have a more...dangerous weapon or two, in case of a break-out, riot, etc
  
• On Arena: Think of the interior as something similar to a circus or boxing match arena. There'd be a cage around the circle. Though the area in which they'll be fighting is a bit bigger than the provided images, that is the general layout for the indoor arena the matches will be taking place in. If you notice, it's an open cage, so while it is possible for the mutants to climb out -- well, the cage has a lovely feature built in so if a mutant were to try escaping that way they'd have some high voltage electricity running through them in a mere second. The crowd will also have protective glass around them in case a mutant purposely sends an attack towards any onlookers. Should a mutant go that far, the match will be halted, the other mutant will be led back to their cage and the crowd will bear witness to a public punishment of sorts. This punishment can range from whipping, beating, or electrocuting. If the mutant tries to do anything during said punishment, there are two sniper guards on hand with tranquilizers ready.
  
  If a mutant refuses to fight, the same punishment as above would apply. If they continue to be obstinate then yes, that punishment would take place over the entertainment of the fight. However, there is also a new punishment that will be introduced as an alternative in place of the other three should a mutant refuse to cooperate during the match. First, they will be sedated with a muscle relaxer and their hands will be cuffed behind their back. Afterwards, the mutant will be stripped bare to stand naked before the crowd and forced on their hands and knees, from there, different kinds of candle wax will be dripped onto their back. Not enough to burn the skin clear off, but enough to cause massive amounts of pain.
• Arena designed as such

Random Stuff??

• List item 1
• List item 2
• List item 3

*Correct me if I get things wrong yo

Pfft omg! This is really funny because we tell you such awful things

[Deleted]

Well I mean the whole slavery thing is kinda awful base to start with uwu so why should I expect anything less?

[Deleted]

True. Also Weeds young children are shown twisted versions of fair tales like Cinderella being a mutant and living happily ever after a slave.

[Deleted]

Oh yes can't forget that

[Deleted]

Also a good note 3 at most to a cell.

[Ludwig A. Beilschmidt]

For some reason I imagine the Underground as Alcatraz but with slightly bigger cells and a third bed crammed in there somewhere.

[Feliciano Vargas]

I imagine the cells are large enough that people aren't stacked on top of each other, but barely comfortable for 2 people, let alone 3. plus the beds would be more like cots, since they're less expensive and easier to replace-- just big enough for 2 people if you really have a mind to share/snuggle but really not that comfortable either way.

Though maybe if you do well enough in the arena and you're good at listening to the guards, you'll get more comforts and stuff for your cell and everyday life, like better food, warmer blankets, actual showers, etc. I imagine the cells are always the same though, other than the cells in solitary.

On Auctions:

Think of the auctions similar to how slaves were sold in America during the time, they were prettied up and well fed a few days before the auction. Appearances are everything, and then buyers are told bits and pieces about their power and personality. Afterwards, as you said, they're told everything about the mutant after the purchase has gone through. Files are kept on mutants powers, history, personality, notes and what not.

[Feliciano Vargas]

Well since my previous plans seem to be horribly horribly wrong in terms of handling These arena fights, looks like Feli's gonna have a lot more scars than I thought. *goes to edit her appearance in her app*

Becca speculating on theories of mutant infertility and inferiority in society:

They would almost certainly use the fact of mutants being sterile as evidence to prove that they're accidental, a way of being deformed rather than being being evolved because the whole point of mutation in the evolvement of a species is so that you pass on those genes and it gets mixed into the gene pool to become more widespread thus becoming the norm rather than a mutation. But if they can't reproduce then that's a big frick you from nature. So it's just an obvious they're not meant to have happened but we might as well use them and have them as pets, like how wealthy families would have dwarves in Europe or people that were born deformed were used in circuses. They could easily see them as the rejects of genetics and of nature because again they can't be some new form of homo sapien if they can't even reproduce so they're in fact doing them a favor by giving them a use and a life You know yeah you can argue against bs biological studies about brain size and moral ability all day, but you can't argue a hard scientific fact like that that IS true so it would be the trump card of pro-gov scientists. It's also another added thing to the religious side because that's a big deal against homosexuality and cloning since clones are also sterile, if they can't reproduce then they're obviously not natural or meant to be, as that's a big thing along with birth control and abortion in christianity. So it's already a big bad point for mutants that they couldn't repopulate and continue if they did make their own societies but now it's just a whooooole other point made in arguments against them being anything but defective and inferior
