GAME UPDATE: September 6th, 2009 (Sunday - evening)

AT THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
New arrivals have been settling in over the last couple of days, and hopefully the majority of them, at least, will be ready for lessons starting in the coming week. The nature of LJ RP the school, of course, means that students and staff will continue to trickle in throughout term simply because the Institute is as much a school as it is a haven for those who need its protection, and people don't stop needing a safe place to go to just because term already started damnit.


OTHER NEWS:
Five mutants are executed in Pokolistan* without a trial for using their powers in a public place; mutant rights groups call for President Henderson to condemn the executions, but she takes no action either way.


*this is a DC thing but we figure if people have gone fo the effort of inventing stupid made up countries, we might as well use them.


WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
Rescued a rare species of sentient mold from extinction at the hands of Doctor Doom. Inside a volcano.


OOC NOTICES:
Normally game updates will not happen so close to each other as this and the last one have been, but 1) from now on the majority of game updates will happen on a Sunday (usually a little earlier than this) and 2) we want lesson plans from you! Well ... kind of.

If, during the upcoming in-game week (two IRL weeks), you want a lesson one of your characters is teaching to go a certain way, or if your teacher character plans to be doing something specific and unusual with the lesson, but you don't want to actually log the thing out (which is reasonable), this is where you say so. Drop a comment on this post, other people can reply, fun for everyone.

Since this is the first week of lessons ever, I'd advise everyone with a character who's teaching to do it just so that everyone has an idea of what their lessons are like, to start off with!

(And, of course, if you do want to do a thread for a lesson, that's absolutely fine.)

We'd also like to remind you that apps close on the 30th of September!

Shikamaru's the opposite end of the spectrum from like Hiei.

Shikamaru has 'nothing' and 'slightly more than nothing'. So he needs a power control course (and none of the other superpower classes really fit to his power).

[identity profile] monarchs-voice.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either way, he's in the class.

And she will drag him there if necessary.

Out of bed.

Daily.

Sorry I sort of rambled >>;

Josh I think is probably going to need to take the class. He can control what he currently knows how to do with his powers, but that's only really skimming the surface I suppose? He also has super senses (all five of them @_@;) and he can't control that very much at all yet so they generally cause him discomfort and he would very much like to solve this problem. Yes.

JUST RUN THEM BY ME REAL QUICK BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN A LOG :D

[identity profile] monarchs-voice.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
He's on the roster. Expect lessons to be of the tough but fair variety.

[identity profile] queenwitha-j.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Shikamaru skipped your Combat class too Toph.

[identity profile] monarchs-voice.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
He is so fucked.

[identity profile] mighty-molita.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

He'll be in charge of digging Toph her mudpit. Kidding

Is she going to have to hunt him down to get an excuse out of him? This likely means she's just going to jump out at him when he least expects it and start sparring him |D

PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Goes pretty well this week, dispite the fact the Cloud doesn't really know what he's doing. The first day was Cloud asking the kids what they would like to see in the class. (http://community.livejournal.com/xi_ooc/4529.html) And the rest of the week is just basic stuff.

And Cloud will have no tolerance for people who cheat with their powers. However, there will be times for using powers in his class. And no slacking off or goofing off either.

Joshua's powers mostly involve seeing things, but he hasn't exactly had much practice with the 'attacking with shiny beams of light' part. But he knows how to do it, and how NOT to do it, so he'll probably pass.

Nia won't be like OUT OF CONTROL but there is a lot of stuff she COULD do with her powers that she does not know how to yet. Mostly she can only make cloud shapes and sort of fly, but eventually she should be able to turn herself totally into clouds/change airflow and manipulate gases and stuff like that, she just need to hone her powers :3 Sooo she will need the class!

Ty Lee really doesn't have a clue what's going on. She apparently can temporarily disable people's movement or abilities, but she doesn't know HOW to do so... or to NOT do so either, though thankfully hugging seems to be harmless. So either nothing would happen in her exam, or someone would lose their powers or movement in a limb for awhile. It's a toss-up, and she has no control over which outcome yet. She needs knowledge of her abilities in general as well as definitely Zach's anatomy class.

[identity profile] popularaura.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Ty Lee is DEFINITELY in need of Zach's class. Pressure points are of particular interest to her in terms of abilities, although her power doesn't work quite as closely with them as it does in her canon.

TELEPATHY & EMPATHY: This week will basically be introducing yourself to the class and getting to know each other, especially the first day. Tifa's going to have some cookies/brownies as a sort of ice breaker between her and her students, so hopefully everyone enjoys those (Though if anyone wants them, she'll definitely provide healthy alternatives).

If anyone wants to let me know what kind of telepathic/empathic power your character has, that would be great. Also how well they control these abilities would be great too, this will give me a gauge of where Tifa should start later in the week. She will want to start simple since she's never taught before. :o

If you have any ideas of what your character would specifically like to learn about their powers, just give me a shout.

COMBAT: It's the first week, so Logan isn't going to show up. He'll leave a note on the pinboard in the kitchen saying that class will be held outside in the grounds, and then he just. Won't be there. But he'll be watching whoever turns up using his ~ninja skills~ (ie. hiding in a tree). People who drop their guard, stop paying attention, or generally start to relax will be penalised and will recieve extra laps next class. CONSTANT VIGILANCE.

[identity profile] monarchs-voice.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Tatsuki will spend the class thusly: 15 minutes of warmup exercises, 15 minutes looking around wondering what the hell's taking so long, and the remainder of the class keeping her karate skills sharp for lack of anything else to do. What does this do for where she stands with him?

Simon has no idea how his powers work. So he'll definitely be needing this class as if they ARE on, they can be really dangerous, especially if he's not in control of them.

Axel passed the test with flying colours, and Tommy only just passed in regard to his explosions, so it's up to Havoc if she wants him to attend that.

Re: WALL OF TEXT

[identity profile] electric-worry.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
As far as Tommy goes, she'll leave it up to him: He can take the class or not, but if not, she'll recommend tutoring on the side.

[identity profile] crotcharrow.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
The thing with Tommy is that he'd rather not be taking classes, so if given the chance will just not go to them. That said, if she tells him how much his explosions are failing, and how much better they will be once he's taken her class, he probably will. orz Tommy why so complicated.

[identity profile] crotcharrow.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Tommy will probably turn up, and after about 5 minutes, get really bored and leave :|; OH SPEEDSTERS WITH THEIR SHORT ATTENTION SPANS.

[identity profile] electric-worry.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, what I meant was, she'll "recommend" tutoring on the side. Recommending involves informing him that it isn't mandatory, and he's free to continue to threaten the lives of himself and others as far as she's concerned.

[identity profile] crotcharrow.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
...why can I see Tommy going just to avoid taking a boring class. Gdmnt the speedsters need a 'special needs' group or something because they CANNOT SIT STILL FOR A WHOLE LESSON.

[identity profile] crotcharrow.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
lmfao. I don't think that Tommy would be able to sit still in her class anyways, so one to one tutoring would work a lot better for him, as he has ADHD :|a

[identity profile] electric-worry.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god, a speedster with ADHD. I feel terrible for Havoc right now. XD

Yeah, she can totally do one-on-one with him, though, and she's willing to do the same for anyone who asks, even in addition to the main class, so long as it's during school hours.

CRIMINAL LAW: Will be pretty relaxed the first week. It'll mostly be the obligatory introduction stuff, getting to know each other and such. BUT Dick will also organize a game for his class. It'll be an urban murder game and it'll be kind of like hide-and-seek. No actual murdering is involved (obviously, that would be very much frowned upon) and using powers is generally not allowed but you can get away with it if you use them subtly. The game will allow for the entire mansion to be used, just no going outside. Also at some point in the week he'll watch some random funny cop movie with his class. Just 'cause.

SELF-DEFENSE: is a class for those who do not wish to partake in COMBAT but would still like to be able to defend themselves or for those who just wish to stare at Dick's ass or something. ANYWAY again there will be introduction stuff and he'll just run down the basics of self-defense and do some exercising games so everyone can get comfortable with each other.
