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!

He's hoping his classes will be awesome and fun because if he were a student, he'd want his classes to be awesome and fun. SO THAT'S HOW HE ROLLS.

...Actually. Hot Fuzz was the only movie I could think of so it will probably be that. |D;

That is just fine, the more the merrier. :D

HOT FUZZ YESSSS.

(It was filmed in my home town :3)

Assuming both pass, they're both welcome to sign up for the class if they personally feel they need it. Havoc's got an eye for these things, as well, and she'll probably point out to Sakura as much.

He'd take note of her karate skills, but he'll probably still make her do extra laps because she could have been attacked by, like, three ninjas in those 15 minutes spent looking around.

At some point, though, he'll pick her out and ask her to spar with him in front of the class, to see what she's made of.

Logan will not be surprised at all.

[identity profile] digtengraves.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Good boy.

[identity profile] usedmiracleeye.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sakura will probably take it, mostly because she hopes SOMEONE can help her figure out what all these things have in common.

I have not watched it in a long time, I should probably rewatch it soon.

(oh my, that is very awesome.)

[identity profile] monarchs-voice.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fifteen minutes spent with her eyes peeled if that's a mitigating factor, but she won't object either way.

She can take on a normal human three times her size without her powers. With them, she might even last five minutes against Logan.

It's done, then! God, I need to chart this out soon, this class is just ballooning on me.

[identity profile] darkestxdragon.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hiei is in the back row, but paying attention. And possibly taking things apart. He does that. >>

[identity profile] darkestxdragon.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Hiei is there. And this is probably the only class he will enjoy and attend regularly. He likes sarcasm and lots of spare bits to break put together. This would totally make his day. Not that he'll say much of anything, damn English.

[identity profile] darkestxdragon.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hiei had to take something other than science, so you'll find him in here, staring at the art supplies in confusion. He's not going to be a star pupil.

MATH CLASS: Though most would suspect Bobby's first class to be short and quick, and full of just Bobby rattling on about how pointless it was... in fact his first class is all about what they will do for the year. Including a year end project that he knows will included something fun for everyone, but he doesn't know what it is yet.

Also a note, anyone messing around or joking.. will find themselves leaving class with frozen shoes.

Celeste was probably hella pissed with this class, but she won't show it... she'll just go and bitch to someone later about how the smell of lemon makes her gag... and then come to class next time with a perfume bottle of like Watermelon scent or something fruiter.

XD Apparentally everyone wants a 'pet' piece of art/words. Unfortunately with te way Mr H's powers work that's not possibly unless he wants to be constantly aware of the creature's existence. I suppose with some sort of psychic transfer someone could have one work separately from his brain. [/ramble]

I don't think he'll be using fun words like that--more like limbic system or hippocampus... or cognitive dissonance.

If some of the words are taken out of the room after class, the student will find them as a pile of ink later.

Celeste passed of course. Not many ways she could have failed. But she's also probably not going to go to your class again. She's got Miss Frost if she needs help.

Will he be one of the ones who blew up the art supplies?

Either way Mr H is going to have fun with him, isn't he?

[identity profile] valetudochamp.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's... basically how things went with my Sea Monkeys.

[identity profile] thelost1of3.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
If Mr. H doesn't mind, Celeste might stick around and help with any accidents that happen. She enjoys art, and doesn't want to see the room messier than it needs to be.

As for the Psychology, If she needed anything for notes and didn't get them before they got off the board, could she just get them from Mr. H's mind?

He sat in the back and melted the crayons. He's already in trouble for igniting things, so he'll try to not actually burn the place down. And growled at the creatures that came too close. Overall, a very bright and pleasant child. e_e

But he did do some drawing. Not very good, but there you go.

[identity profile] thelost1of3.livejournal.com 2009-09-21 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
First, Celeste loves that your classes are outside. Second, she hates your combat class because she is not a fighter and knows nothing about fighting.

If she passed, she wouldn't be going anyway, so no worries.

What's the policy on falling asleep?
