GAME UPDATE: September 13th, 2009 (Sunday)

AT THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
On Monday, after lessons, a post goes up on the school intranet announcing the introduction of mentor groups; several teachers will be given charge of four to six students each. The information is also pinned up in the dormitories and staff room, and each staff member to be given a team is given a list of their assigned students including their powers.

Staff are told to take whatever approach they feel appropriate with their group but advised to make time for a group meeting some time over the next week. Goofy group names are encouraged but not, at this stage, necessary.

Bobby Drake: Draco Malfoy, Haku, Holly J Sinclair Miku Hatsune, Tom Bronson

Cloud Strife: Axel Pyres, Larsa Solidor, Neku Sakuraba, Temari Subaku

Dick Grayson: Aang, Edym Raffles, Ino Yamanaka, Naoto Shirogane, Simon Digsby

Emma Frost: Amadeus Cho, Cassandra Cain, Celeste Cuckoo, Ienzo Schaduw, James Matthew

Jessica Jones: Eli Bradley, Robin Walker, Sakura Haruno, Teddy Altman, Wally West

Kamina Jiha: Billy Kaplan, Hinata Hyuuga, Hisako Ichiki, Temeraire, Tina Bell

Karen Starr: Alfred Jones, Milly Mintaka, Naruto Uzumaki, Tommy Shepherd, Virgil Hawkins

Lisa Patrescu: Kisara, Kurt Wagner, Sally Sparrow, Zabuza Momochi

Logan: Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, Laura Kinney, Nia Teppelin

Sanae Hanekoma: Allen Walker, Naminé, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame

Tifa Lockhart: Alexander Aaron, Matthew Williams, Sofia Mantega, Terrance Ward

Tony Stark: Edward Elric, Hiei Janagashi, Jim Hawkins, Ty Lee

Toph Bei-Fong: Azula, Elenra Rigby, Julio Richter, Santo Vaccarro, Yui Hirasawa

Tsunade: Lili Zanotto, Jamie Madrox, Marcus Wright, Tatsuki Arisawa, Joshua Kiryu

Wade Wilson: Alphonse Elric, Giselle Vanderhall, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, Sasuke Uchiha

Yoko Ritona: Josh Newman, Kate Bishop, Minato Arisato, Wendy Darling



NEWS:
ON TUESDAY:
A group of youths in costume, mostly mutants, attempt to foil a bank robbery in Florida but wind up causing a fire. Nobody is seriously injured, but, although the youngest vigilante is 21 and none of them are involved with the Institute, the early days of the X-Men are recalled by a few news reporters and some point accusatory fingers at Xavier. Senator Thompson reiterates his desire to implement a mutant registration program if he is elected President in November.
ON FRIDAY:
A twelve-storey robot operated by a scientist with a grudge attacks Manhattan, but with the Fantastic Four battling Skrulls in space and the Avengers on a mission to the Antarctic, who will stop its rampage?
More information on this will go up in-game when the time comes.


WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
Goes to New Zealand to fight a giant mutated Kakapo created by the Green Man, a deranged environmentalist aiming to restore endangered species through genetic engineering. Where putting laser guns onto massive ground parrots factors into the conservation aspect of his plans is unclear, but Wolverine wins anyway.


OOC NOTICES:
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. If you've got a new teacher character (ie. if this is their first game update), it's probably a good idea to leave a comment here to give everyone an idea of what their first classes will be like.

If anyone has any issues with the group assignments please let the mods know!

Joshua is in your Chem class, and his paper will not use Wikipedia. It will actually mostly contain book sources. The memorization will take a little bit for him, but not too terribly long.

Also burning stuff comes next class when he thinks half the class won't end up in A&E

YAY

Teddy can punch holes in things well enough, but he'll probably wind up needing someone's help unless the robots are EXTRA DUMB because he's not actually any good at actual fighting yet. BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHAT THIS CLASS IS FOR :'D

Reno most likely won't start scrutinizing people on the whole memorisation thing for at least a month or so, so Josh is good for now.

Also books gain you extra points because not just any old mook can write and publish a high standard of science-y writing and have people pay attention |Db

Azula's in English. She'll stay quiet, only raising her hand to answer questions that are specifically technical (grammar rules, questions about content, etc).

[identity profile] huogongzhu.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The dummies will rue the day they met Azula.

Which actually means she will be unleashing kung fu/fire combinations on them and burninating them to hell.

Hey, you can't go wrong with the classics!

Minato will be subtly unhappy that he can't have his headphones hanging over his shoulders, but he'll otherwise be a very good student. It's likely he's already memorized the periodic table, and he'll definitely list non-online sources in his essays.

Also, he doesn't ditch. To ditch is to possibly have his hair dyed and Minato doesn't want that.

If anything comes close to landing a hit on Teddy Temeraire's going to rip its arms off. :Db If he notices in time.

[identity profile] melodyofwater.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. :D

... Hello, pretty girl who sits next to Minato in class.

You make him kinda nervous. :|

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds good to me.

[identity profile] huogongzhu.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You shall be Azula's bitch lab partner. You must set up the experiment perfectly or you will get the death glare of death.

Luckily for Minato, he scored top in his exams when he was in Japan, so it's unlikely he'll screw up. Maxed Academics ftw.

That is. Reassuring. Kind of frightening. But reassuring.

Sally is going to fall in love with her Music History class and will likely pester Mag about getting copies of the recordings she used for example music.

[identity profile] melodyofwater.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Mag will be more than happy to give her copies or tell her where she can get them. :D

Amadeus signed up for your class because he needed another one and he wasn't about to do something like "history." He obeys all safety rules without question or sass, but he doesn't pay much attention during the demonstration, and he visibly rolls his eyes when he hears about the assignment.

His essay will be incredibly thorough and well-written, but will list no sources. If Reno says anything or takes off points, Amadeus will return the paper with "SOURCE: AMADEUS CHO'S BRAIN" written on the bottom of the last page. He thinks this is terribly clever.

The periodic table isn't going to be an issue for him.

Then you will be receiving a lesser amount of death glares 8)

[identity profile] teloschain.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
... Thanks? You're still scary, but you'll get a hesitant smile back.

[identity profile] quantumbird.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Sally will grin at the explosions, turn in an essay that's likely twice the required length and then be embarrassed because this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmwlzwGMMwc&feature=related) is the only way she can remember the periodic table. But chemistry will likely be her second favorite class.

[identity profile] x-l-o.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Amadeus is going to sit in the very back of Tony's class going :D :D :D the whole time - all the while trying desperately to control his excitement so as not to short out any of the electronic devices in the room. He will (luckily) succeed. It's basically his best day ever.

He (working alone, naturally) also kind of wants to write all four essays, just because that would mean that Tony Stark omg would be reading and critiquing his thoughts on materials, welding, circuits, and robots. In the end, he contains himself and selects circuits.

MINATO YOU ARE A GOOD STUDENT AND RENO LIKES THIS ABOUT YOU.

[identity profile] stepsonflowers.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
CLEVER IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE BUT IT IS STILL A FAIL 8|
