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!

Only if you ignore this account

Miku spends all of Music History really excited to be there--she's a bit of a Mag fangirl--and also writing down all the information. She's super interested in this class. Can I have the ten basic elements of music? :o

awwww fishies

*puts on music geek hat*

The ten basics elements are Melody, Rhythm, Harmony, Texture, Timbre, Form, Media, Genre, Dynamics, and Expressive Content. Basically whenever they start a new work, they'll have to write down characteristics of each element that apply to the piece.

Melody: Stuff like stepwise (notes that are right next to each other), skipwise (notes that are jumping around), triadic, and all that jazz~
Rhythm: Steady rhythm, syncopation, duple, triple, etc.
Harmony: Consonant, dissonant, major, minor, modal.

Texture: Monophonic (one line of music), Homophonic (one line with chords under it), Polyphonic (many lines), thick, thin.
Timbre (also called 'tone color'): Light, dark, heavy, high, low- describes instruments sounds, but DOES NOT NAME THE INSTRUMENTS.
Form: ABA, rondeau, sonata allegro form, concerto, theme and variation- basically if it has a named 'form' in music

Media: The instruments used, whether it be orchestra, voice, or bicycle.
Genre: The genre of music. Opera, sonata, prelude, etc.
Dynamics: Loud or softness of the piece (aka forte and piano).
Expressive Content: Easily the most subjective part, this is the part for what the piece reminded you of, or what it made you feel, or even a scene you conjured up that fits the music.

She might also ask for possible age and composer, once they get that far.

Oh, okay, Miku should be pretty good at that. :o

Also, while I'm thinking of it, private vocal lessons? :o
