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!

UM
I'll probably have to discuss with you whether mine need control, because Temeraire's power (A cross between Bolt's Superbark and Black Bolt saying something in your general direction) can't be so much controlled as aimed.

In contrast, Sasuke's is subtle and he's been practising for his entire life, technically, so he probably doesn't need control lessons so much as lessons on When It Is Appropriate To Psychically Control My Peers.

Re: UM
If the potential is there to control the amount of power being put into Tem's ability beyond simply "on" and "off", then he'd probably need the class. As for SASKAY, thaaaat's more a matter for the school psychologist, so yeah, ask Deadpool.

Re: UM
It is really just 'on' or 'off'. He'll probably attend ANYWAY because he's taking everything he can and power control is interesting, if she'll allow that?

OTL yes probably.

If that's genuinely all his ability amounts to, then he doesn't need the class. He's welcome to attend so long as he doesn't provide a distraction, but it would mostly entail watching and he wouldn't be graded on it.

It's more that he's never actually had time or the ability in canon to try and vary it? So it's honestly unknown whether all his power is is a full-power sonic roar. idk I'll probably get him to attend the class to allow for possible development. @_@;; He'll be very quiet and attentive.

Hmm. If that's the case, I could see her possibly getting him to experiment with that a little, but it's up to you if it ever bears fruit.
