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

[xi_mods]

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!

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.

Criminal law class sounds AWESOMMME. A class that Tina would actually enjoy!

If 'funny cop movie' turns out to be Hot Fuzz then I would be oh so very highly amused...

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

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;

"Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'"

[firstlaugh.livejournal.com]

HOT FUZZ YESSSS.

(It was filmed in my home town :3)

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

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

(oh my, that is very awesome.)

[valetudochamp.livejournal.com]

Tatsuki'll probably take combat AND self-defense, just to keep herself sharp.

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

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

Celeste will be the best student ever in both classes! Dick will have her complete attention through both classes, and she's going to work hardest in both. Trying to show up anyone, and just show Dick that she can do this..

In the self-defense one though she might falter a bit and ask him to help her. ^_^

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I wonder why this is. /strokes imaginary beard

He'll be happy to help at least. :D

[seethedead.livejournal.com]

I think I will shove a Joshua in your class, Dick. Josh will have a criminal great amount of fun with the murder game.

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

I see what you did there. It'll be fun to have Josh around. :D

Zexion will have a ton of fun in your Criminal Law course, but he will act like it's a complete waste of time.

However, he'll pay strict attention if Mr Grayson offers any advice.

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

Oh Zexion, so tsundere. <3

Don't worry, there will be plenty to learn and lots of advice to be had. It will just be presented in a fun interactive way.

[pagesofmemory.livejournal.com]

He doesn't do 'fun' very well. He's very intelligent but a little emotionally stunted, really. Non-evil laughter, what's that? :|

[boybullet.livejournal.com]

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

[paintedfeathers]

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.

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.)

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's not suspicious at all. (Dick will answer regardless.)

[not-infiltrator.livejournal.com]

Nope. Not at all. (He hasn't quite mastered the idea of 'subtle' yet.)

Alfred's in the Criminal Law class, though he missed the first class due to delayed flight. He will act bored and inattentive! But he will get the work done, surprisingly well. what, Alfred interested in a class? Never.

[noctivigant.livejournal.com]

GOOD THING THE GAME IS HELD DURING THE SECOND CLASS THEN. And god forbid he is interested in anything other than burgers. :|

[fifty]

HE IS GOING TO THINK THIS GAME IS AWESOME.

I MEAN he's totally not interested or anything. Really. Definitely.

[boybullet.livejournal.com]

IT WILL BE AWESOME. HOPEFULLY.

You can act tough all you want but your ~true feelings~ do not lie DICK WILL KNOW THAT.
