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!

→ ENGLISH [for you freshmen and sophomores]

...Yoko's English class is... pretty much your standard English class. There are no special, super exciting things to go over; seriously, all they'll be doing is discussing what each class wants to read--because Yoko is a nice teacher who gives her students choices--reading a few short stories, and reviewing basic grammar rules. Expect a book report to be assigned next week!

→ FIREARMS [for all you badasses out there]

ARE YOU KIDS READY FOR THIS. While Yoko is pretty laid-back in her English class, she's certainly not the same out on the firing range. This stuff is serious business, okay? There won't be any shooting or anything for quite some time, though; first you kids are going to learn the basic mechanics of the things you'll be shooting, how to take care of them, and the various rules that go along with everything. FUN STUFF.

GOD I am so tired. If something sounds... really weird, just ask me and I'll clarify/go into detail/do whatever you want me to do, bbs.

Joshua is in both her classes. He'll be helpful book suggestions, and they vary from Shakespeare to Dante to god knows what else. Most of the things he suggests are 'classics.'

In firearms, he will be paying very close attention and absorbing the information.

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

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

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

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] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
An over-excited student is never a bad thing, my friend. But lmfao, Amadeus... what a dork....

Shikamaru will probably fall asleep at some point during Firearms class.

[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.

Oh.. Firearms! Ed's been through all of those drills back home, and won't think twice about her being a hard ass. After all, he's been breaking down, cleaning, and rebuilding weaponry for the past year at least. This is old hat.

Feel free to question why Ed's in this class if he 'knows it all' in the first place.

[identity profile] hollow-metal.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ditto with Al. Only he's not so good with the actual firing of them. His hands were way too big to even hold one for a number of years XD but he can take them apart and clean them real well!

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Glad to see her toughness will be appreciated, lmfao. And pfffffft, there are so many kids who already know about everything in her class that she's just like, ".....They took this class just to blow stuff up, didn't they. TYPICAL."

A book report? x___x Yui's going to fail that hardcore. She'll be quiet and terrible and probably fall asleep at some point during english.

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Falling asleep will earn her an expo marker being thrown at her, and there are plenty more where that came from, lmfao. NO SLEEPING IN CLASS.

Naoto's in both classes. He won't have much to offer in English, as he's more versed in Japanese literature and genuinely is learning in this one.

As for firearms? Naoto brought a gun from home, for pete's sake. It even has a name. He knows the rules and is really just taking this as a refresher course, so if it seems like he's only going through the motions, he is.

[identity profile] pewpewpewpower.livejournal.com 2009-10-06 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. She'll definitely try to help him out as best she can.

AND ROTFL WHAT A BADASS. She'll get along just fine with this kid, I believe.

Alfred is so excited about firearms. Soexcited. He's actually paying attention and writing stuff down and while he has no training or anything he'll pick everything up quickly. Fascinated Alfred is fascinated, and oops the fact that he is actually kind of clever when he's not pretending not to be/being lazy is slipping out.

[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.

English

Alex doesn't really participate in discussions. Probably stares at his desk all period long.

[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.
