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

GEOGRAPHY
Pietro has continued holding class outside despite the bad weather. It's how stuff's done back in Transia, so suck it up kids. They're currently studying the tri-state area and the influence of mass transit on its development.

Also, there were papers due on your favorite of NYC's five boroughs on Thursday. They were graded at superspeed and immediately handed back. Feel free to cry about your results.

There's a quiz on everything next week. If the majority of the class does well, he's considering a field trip to the NYC transit museum. This has been vaguely alluded to as something "far more interesting than the bloody woods", but very few specifics were mentioned.

Re: GEOGRAPHY
Tommy is very bored and unamused throughout the class and will ask when they get to do something that isn't boring.

Pietro will tell him that boredom is the inability to find something interesting on which to focus your attention, thus is a personal failing.

Further, geography should be quite interesting for a speedster.
