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!

lolll I get the feeling yui's going to be kinda sore after a few classes, but after that she'll try to stay awake. IT'S NOT HER FAULT ENGLISH IS BORING

OH YAY, A GIRL IN MY MALE-DOMINATED CLASS. :D

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
OH ALFRED. She'll be sure to bring him back to reality if he gets too lazy. FIREARMS ARE SRS BSNSS.

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
She'll definitely try her hardest to bring him into class discussions and stuff. Come on out of that shell of yours, man.

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
SHUT UP THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT COURSE.

But d'aw, Ed. His accuracy better be up to par, or else the nagging he'll hear will really take him back....

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
ENGLISH IS VERY EXCITING, OKAY. VERY. EXCITING.

And lmfao, poor Yui. At least she's learning a valuable lesson in Yoko's eyes, at least.

Giselle would have handed in her assignment, though she might have talked about her partner's interests and other things like that more than their powers.

She'd have to be in Tifa's class given that her powers are mass hypnosis/mind control.

Sally will find concentration frustrating, as she's used to tuning things out already and she, uh, has no idea what triggers her powers. They just turn on and off and she has no idea how. :|

[identity profile] 7thheavensmile.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's fine, Tifa expected that from some people. <3

Okay! Lovely, Tifa will love having Giselle in her class.

[identity profile] sunny-singer.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Having Tifa as a teacher might encourage Giselle to put a bit more effort into combat classes as well. After all, Tifa's a good example of how it's possible to be a compassionate person who is still an impressive fighter.

/lazily points to links given before. You can find more info there if you want it.

Shino's will surprise him. Why's there so many INTJs around him--it must be a conspiracy because he's a INFP, the INTJ's theorized 'adviser'. Also Shino is in his mentor group. He'll probably have a meeting sometime during the week so they can all get to know each other.

Mr H will try to nudge Terry back to the assignment, but will at least be happy he's drawing something.

But spitballs are nasty, though. D: lol.

He'd much rather be cloaking himself from energy blasts Oh wait, that'll probably happen, won't it? :|

Criminal Law
Zexion will approach the case like a science experiment--through the scientific method. He'll probably do a bit of research into finding out about the actual case, if he can find it through computerized records, even with the names changed. The research is just to check his answer.

Self-Defense
He'll find this actually boring this time instead of just pretending to be bored like last time. He knows all too much about how fights start and how to avoid them. However he is paying attention.

Ffffraaack.

Sasuke's paragraph will be surprisingly substantial, but lacking in any really personal information. More facts and a brief analysis of his partner's mutation. He remains guarded during the class itself.

Emma will be teaching Jean-Paul's book! Students will have been asked to turn in a reading response journal with every three chapters.

ESL students will be allowed to set up telepathic tutoring sessions. Rictor is DEFINITELY NOT INTERESTED. If you want to thread this/find out why Ric hates telepathy so much, I'd be delighted.

Advanced Telepathy students will be studying various forms of mind control for the duration of the semester. If your character has mind controlling powers, they should be in this class.

Larxene's journals are detailed and insightful. English, it is easy for her. She's probably also read the book a couple of times at least.

Miku's journals are satisfactory, but nothing exemplary.

[identity profile] hatsunemix.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Miku's paragraph probably focuses a lot more on hobbies and interests like Giselle's, but she did hand it in!

ANATOMY
Alfred takes the notes but mostly zones out. He also will be writing the paper on the muscular system, if that counts.

FIRST AID
Alfred is SO BORED. So bored. Sooooooooooooooo. Boooooooooored. He might fall asleep at some point.

Miku is doing her best but it's going to take her a while to memorize everything.

[identity profile] mercurialectric.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if Virgil's in Energy Projection, I suppose Larxy would be, too. She doesn't seem to react at all to the pictures--as if she just doesn't care about consequences, especially when they're happening to other people.

She takes notes and is otherwise fine, but Sasha miiiight notice something kind of off about her. B|

Al's totally up for that. 8D

Earth Science: Rictor knew the answers to all the questions, but didn't know the right terms for things.

Combat: He got a little nervous during sparring when he was put into a hold, and caused a little tremor.

Eli has little bit of a geek moment when he they get in the Danger Room, and procedes to break a ridiculous amount of dummies, whereupon he asks for something harder.

[identity profile] a-whiter-shade.livejournal.com 2009-10-07 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Rictor concentrates extremely hard, but he has a hard time blocking out Earth-related stuff. He isn't sure if that's okay or not.

[identity profile] a-whiter-shade.livejournal.com 2009-10-07 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Emma is going to absolutely love Larxene. They will get along fabulously.
