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!

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.

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?

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.

Well if he actually tried Mr H will respect that (melted crayons not withstanding). He'll probably not bother to bug Hiei unless he purposefully does poor work--or if he blows off the assignments.

Tried, got frustrated and melted things, tried, got frustrated and growled at things, repeat ad nauseum. He'll try to contain himself to things that won't set off alarms, but his assignment might be a bit . . . singed.

Actually, that might have to be his final submission at the end of the week. Burn a geometric design into the paper and slap it on the teacher's desk.
paintedfeathers: (art ۞ time to get seriou)

Mr H doesn't mind creative uses of one's powers in his class--although he'd rather Hiei not set off the fire alarms (again) if he can help it.

Turning in the melted crayons--as long as there was some thought put into melting them would be perfectly acceptable in his book. Except he'll expect a new box of crayons to replace the melted ones.

It's going to be a long year for Mr. H. XD

[personal profile] paintedfeathers 2009-09-21 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It really will be. XD

Feel free to lecture Hiei in Japanese, he'll pay more attention. (Mr. H is Japanese, right? Thought he was . . . )
paintedfeathers: (forward ۞ this could be interestin)

[personal profile] paintedfeathers 2009-09-21 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Mr H is indeed Japanese. If he finds out Hiei has trouble with English he'll offer to give him the instructions in Japanese after he's given them in English.

The accent should give him away. Hmmm, Hiei might actually have to not hate him. Novel. :3
paintedfeathers: (casual ۞ just relaxing after wor)

XD Mr H is a pretty decent guy and pretty laidback. Like I said as long as Hiei doesn't burn the classroom down or blow off the class one too many times, Mr H won't really get mad at him and will try to help where possible.
