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!

Well, Dick might make it his goal to get the kid to enjoy himself in that case. SO HE BETTER HAVE FUN. 8|

Hiei looked around for awhile, then settled in with his back against a tree and just watched everyone else be paranoid. He might have taken a nap.

I wish I was joking.

Kurama's going to love this class.

He'll tinker with the parts in a fascinated way and then create a bomb, sans gunpowder, and working detonator switch. 8)

I think I have Hiei in too many classes. I don't think he'll be able to take this one. Sorry!

[identity profile] orchidthorns.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Kurama will be attending this class but he's not bailing you out, sir. He'll watch in amusement as Bobby messes with him, and maybe sprout little flowers through Hiei's ice-hair out of boredom.

XD Someone had better before they start a ruckus. And Mr H won't mind the teasing--he'll probably tease back in a friendly way--but he's still rather flustered and embarrassed by his powers (literally) running away from him.

Oh he'll have fun, but he won't want to show it. However if you try enough he might crack a non-sarcastic smile. Accidentally, of course.

[identity profile] orchidthorns.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Kurama can give him a housewarming class-warming present? A vine plant to put on his front desk, to whip out vines and munch on the runaway words? idk. xD;;

He'll quietly find the entire fiasco HILARIOUS. Way to break the ice there, professor.

[identity profile] boybullet.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
The funny thing is, if he actually is having fun, Dick will know. Handy thing about being an empath and all that. 8D
paintedfeathers: (LOL ۞ hurting my side)

[personal profile] paintedfeathers 2009-09-22 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
He would probably be better off with something under his own control, but he'd be highly amused at the plant anyway.

Not a purposeful thing but he'd hide that under a good laugh--after all people who can't laugh at themselves will just end up dying of heartattacks from pointless stress.

But well done regardless.

But teacher teacher, it wasn't live! 8) We'd need chemicals and compounds and such for that!

Indeed. =v=

XD Don't let Zex know that, he'll be even more disguntled about having fun in the class.

keywords are sorta relevant

[identity profile] noctivigant.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Fear not, Dick does his best to keep his power a secret so all Zexion will get are KNOWING SMILES.

[identity profile] 7thheavensmile.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Okay, thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind, it's a great help. All her powers sound really neat.

Aww, Tifa likes muffins. \o/

[identity profile] 7thheavensmile.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it would be helpful if he wants his illusion power to become stronger. Tifa will be focusing a lot on strengthening the mind later, mental exercises and the like will be included.

In the end it's definitely your choice, but I think since he creates mind based illusions, it will be helpful in some ways.

also keywords, lol

[identity profile] pagesofmemory.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Crap, he HATES THOSE SO MUUUUCH D:

[identity profile] pagesofmemory.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay then. :3

He'll probably highly dislike the class on principle because he REALLY doesn't want to be around a bunch of psychics AT ALL. Plus, he'll probably refuse to bring his lexicon to class, and so will be stuck with illusions functioning at half strength to begin with.

Logan will know about Celeste being a telepath, so he'll understand the sitting around. But he'll still make her do extra laps, because he's a mean old man. :>

Marcus... passes, to a certain extent. tl;dr cut in the interest of time, but basically he's got some psychological barriers up that keep him from being able to do fun traditional-telekinesis-y things. But he's got superstrength and invulnerability and flight and stuff, so it's all good.

... although I can see him flying through the ceiling on accident during the test itself, as that's the ability he's got the least experience with.

[identity profile] not-infiltrator.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
MARCUS WILL BE GOOD AT THIS CLASS.

... I mean, he's better at taking things apart than putting them back together, but he's fairly decent at both. (He made a car work and built a radio in the wreckage of post-Judgment-Day L.A. I think he knows what he's doing.) And if there's ever a day when they work on cars he'll be in Heaven.

[identity profile] not-infiltrator.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Marcus finds 'Criminal Law' strangely relevant. Expect questions about oddly-specific court cases that are mostly assault-and-battery, grand theft auto, oooor a combination of the above. (... what? Most of them weren't actually his doing.)
