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!

What's his first language? Japanese? Tony speaks a metric fuckton of languages, and can run translation software for those he doesn't, so feel free to have him ask a question in a language other than English. dC:

Yup, Japanese.

I hope Tony doesn't mind having a hostile, snarky teen haunting his classroom at this rate. o.o

He's surprisingly cool with hostile, snarky teens haunting his classroom.


I mean, he won't be in it much but what Hiei chooses to do in his free time... Seriously, feel free to ask for CR or anything?

[darkestxdragon.livejournal.com]

CR would be highly amusing. Tony's got the only class that Hiei is actually interested in, and he does hardware tinkering as a hobby. I don't have anything concrete in mind, but there is much potential with their personalities.

BTW, this is what Hiei was building in class, but I think he ran out of time. He doesn't like his roommate and wants to annoy him.

Nice. Tony will probably point out he can use the classroom if he wants to finish it, provided someone knows he's there.

Also he'll make a derogatory comment about something really trivial like the amount of wire used just because he can.

And the habit of staying after class starts. The classroom has better equipment than what he's scavanged up. He'll hang out to finish up his project so he can torture his roommate.

Derogatory comments get eye rolls and muttered comments of a less than flattering nature.
