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!

IF YOU LIKE ME, WHY'D YOU SEAT ME NEXT TO AZULA 8| Even if she is the best lab partner available

.........That is so cute.

l-lol Reno will probably be like "OH GOD WORDS" at the essay, but aside from that, Sally is good people.

Amadeus is in firearms. For this class, he is a very good student - he's attentive and careful, though he might occasionally seem a little over-excited and even impatient about the subject matter. He also probably blushes and awkwardly smiles at Yoko frequently, because he is a giant nerd.

[identity profile] explosivehero.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Shikamaru will probably fall asleep at some point during Firearms class.

Holly J would work on the materials selection paper. It'd be a pretty well researched paper but still need some work, she'd get a C to B range worthy paper done. Unlike the paper with less than A marks, her physical projects will work out a lot better. She's obviously working on making a vehicle more efficient/faster.

*wishes his other characters took this class*

Tom has no problem shredding up his dummies, but ask him to throw a decent swing and you won't be impressed. This is a kid who hasn't even tried to fight since eighth grade. :V

OH ALSO Sasuke is going to use his mutant power on Minato by mistake (~their eyes meet across a crowded room~), Minato will get a crazy grin for a fraction of a second, then Sasuke's going to go comatose.

If. That's okay. The log'll be here (http://community.livejournal.com/xi_rpg/24128.html). :Db

ART
Mr H will have graded the projects everyone turned in last week. As long as he saw you putting effort into it and not slacking off every class (and not blowing up his poor classroom more) you'll have a decent grade. He'll also have a talk with various students throughout the week about how they can improve. If your character turned in total crap, he'll sit down with them and ask if they actually are serious about this class or not.

For this week, he'll start with teaching Monday about One Point Perspective. The rest of Monday will be planning for the week's project: a simple One Point Perspective landscape, sketched in pencil, then inked once everything is finished.

"1. Draw a Horizontal Line (near middle of the paper)
2. Place Vanishing Point (near center of the line/paper)
3. Draw Ceiling and Floor lines (like an 'X' through the VP)
4. Begin placing other architectural elements (doors, arches, etc)
"

It's a fairly simple project, he's hoping nothing will blow up this time.

If everyone is good he might try for a few classes outside (with clipboards but no chairs or tables) so students can look at the Institute's own architecture for inspiration.

He'll also have a few small kangaroos bouncing around during class time, offering pencils, erasers, and paper.


PSYCHOLOGY
Mr H will be going over ways of understand personality before he jumps into schools/perspectives of Psychology. Sometime throughout the week, he'll ask them to do a simplified Myers-Briggs test as a fun way to show how Trait/Behaviorist psychologists view personality types.

ooc note: You do not actually have to do the test for your characters, but it's sort of amusing, so I figured I'll throw it out if you wanted to give it a look.

He won't have any of his art creatures running about in this class, but the words on the whiteboard still might try to escape if he gets distracted enough.

wade's group will be meeting in the crack comm later this week.

Zexion will be in her Illusions class and will play dumb about how exactly he does his illusions, definitely not saying anything about his lexicon if he can avoid it.

He'll be very curious about how the other students perform, probably too curious, but he'll claim its only because he wants to know in case their powers work similarly to his own. It's a lie, he's busy scheming away, but he'll play innocent in the matter.

An over-excited student is never a bad thing, my friend. But lmfao, Amadeus... what a dork....

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No sleeping allowed, Shikamaru, my dear. Expect something to be thrown with amazing accuracy at your head.

[identity profile] melodyofwater.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
She won't press him on his own powers, but she will note his curiosity with the other students and be a little suspicious. =| Especially since he's going to have to use his illusions in class. She won't get involved most like, though.

... Minato will totally wonder why the hell he's signed up for this class.

:3

Get used to it, Reno. She's wordy. But she likes being good people.

[identity profile] pagesofmemory.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Zexion will enjoy your class completely. However he detests the goggles, because he is tiny and they don't fit him very well. If anyone tries to make him tie up his ((emo-style)) hair, he'll probably argue about it in a way designed to bring the other person to tears.

He already has the periodic table memorized on account of a certain crazy scientist who insisted upon it as one of the many tests of memorization. This mad scientist influence will probably come back to haunt him later in the class.

His essay will have nothing but book sources. He doesn't approve of internet sources unless they are scientific journals. :|

Minato has been hand-waved out of Mr. H's class because the mun fails and forgot how many classes he was taking. He will be taking the class next year or when he gets the chance.

He also gets an ESFJ (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes3.asp") personality.

Joshua is, to no one's surprise, INTJ (http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=5&c=mastermind). What he probably did was take it completely wrong first, and if Mr. H gave him a B| face it took it properly.

Haku's going to be all over that music history class. And probably pester her about all the little details.

Oh, and setting up private lessons? O:
