A scene with [[Rasheed]] and [[Emma]] and [[Iolaus]] at Carnegie Hall in which they plan for the Mendel Clinic's future should be tagged: Humans, Mutants, Carnegie Hall, Rasheed, Emma, Iolaus, Mendel Clinic. A scene with [[Dusk]] and [[Scramble]] chatting about Game of Thrones and sharing a beer on the beach at the Brotherhood's island should be tagged: Dusk, Scramble, Mutants, BOM Beachfront, but if in that scene they are additionally discussing plans to Do Terrorism, ''then'' add the tag Brotherhood of Mutants. If a scene is taking place in someone's private apartment, please tag it Private Residence/XS Dorm/BOM Cabin, as appropriate. | ||
