GAME UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2009  
AT THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
Things proceed as usual. It rains a lot, on and off, in the first half of the week, but it gets drier around Thursday.


NEWS:
Pro-mutant lobbyists confront President Henderson about her lack of action on the mutant front despite her promises of mutant civil rights reform and ask if this approach will continue if she is elected for a second term.
New York Senator James Baelheit echoes these concerns from a different stance when he vocally pledges his support for Thompson, insisting that action needs to be taken to control "the mutant situation".


WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
Teams up with John the Skrull to save some orphans from Madame Solution and the Chemical Boys.


OOC NOTICES:
FIRSTLY! New students will not have a mentor group yet. We know we made some noises to the effect that we'd be posting new assignments in this game update, but we kind of figured that wouldn't really work; instead, the new assignments will go up after the ACTIVITY CHECK WE SPRANG ON YOU TODAY is over, in about a week's time, to make sure we GET EVERYONE. PATIENCE PLEASE.

SECONDLY! We would like to remind everyone that we now have a wiki, which you are heartily encouraged to request access to and edit the heck out of.

As ever, we encourage people playing staff to start comment threads to this post about what's going down in classes this week to save on threading a million classes. Same goes for mentor group meetings, if you like! You are of course welcome to actually thread any classes or meetings you like, but a) this is still good for planning and b) most people do not want to thread every single lesson SO GO AHEAD AND SPAM THIS POST

The robot won't actually be made of metal, so idk if Ed's power will work? Hmm.

If it's an inorganic material, yes. If it's a 'realistic hologram,' Ed's screwed.

How does this giant robot feel about water?


And Joshua will try to stay out of said robot's way to Jesus Beam it. If he gets knocked down he's temporarily useless until he can levitate again.

Lots. Demyx will soak it until he gets tired.

damn lack of zio skills
Minato will.... have next to no idea what he's doing, but will try his best. |D He'll likely need help, however.

In that case, Minato will probably team up with someone and try and figure it out. He'll probably do fine after a bit.

Re: Combat
Alfred again goes with the whole "I will punch my way through" strategy--how resilient are these robots?

Larxene electrocutes them, which seems like a pretty simple strategy against metallic things.

Re: Combat
Holly J will help Alfred with the whole punching it a lot idea.

And... Santo would kind of work with Larlar, since they are mentor buddies... and he's pretty electricproof. So he could beat it up while she fries it. 8D

Josh is going to be pretty excited about this haha, but he's still doesn't really know how to do much with his powers so it's unlikely he'll be much help.

Re: Combat
Eli takes charge and starts telling people what to do.

Does he get to use his shield or throwing stars or anything? Because he's not nearly as effective without them.

Re: Combat
Like Mel's highly independent muses, if you expect Santo to listen to Eli. HAH!

Holly J will ask him who he thinks he is, and probably tell him if she needed his advice she'd ask. While punching things, and eyerolling.

Re: Combat
Joshua will be very amused by the taking charge. If Eli has good ideas, then he'll cooperate, but he'll still tease the hell out of him for it.

Oh, but Demyx will totally cooperate. He's good at following orders.

Hisako is a good teammate and determinedly hammers away as per orders, occasionally smashing the odd robot who Eli's not paying attention to.

Axel will probably find Azula and fight alongside her, since they're both interested in each other.

And Tommy... Well, expect a lot of explosions people.

Ulquiorra will use physical force and dodge when he can. And when all else fails? At least he's got a healing factor and won't be in pain for days after this session.

Re: Combat
Temari tries keep to a distance using her wind to attack the robots, however when they get too close she has to resort hitting them with her fan.
