GAME UPDATE: Sunday November 22nd 2009

AT THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
Professor Xavier announces that he will be speaking at the mutant registration conference due to be held on Wednesday – he requests of his staff that a few ex-X-Men (or other staff members with similar experience) accompany him to the conference, "if only in the hope that the presence of costumed super-heroes will serve to deter any petty acts of violence." This isn't made public to the students, of course – any kids who take the school up on the offer to attend as part of the audience will probably be the politically inclined sort who're actually keen to sit through what promises to be a few hours of people like Professor X having Serious Discussions ... or ones who want to be there to cause petty acts of violence.

Thanksgiving is November 26th, Thursday. While some people at the Institute will of course be going home to spend Thanksgiving with their families, enough of them are are either orphans or not from America that there'll still be plenty of people around, so expect some kind of big orphan Thanksgiving party.

Weather at the Xavier Institute this week is on the cold and windy side.


NEWS:
A school in New York City is destroyed on Tuesday, the 24th. A mutant student is found unharmed in the rubble; her name isn't made public but the school in question states it is planning to sue.

A conference is to be held in New York on Wednesday, November 25th, at which a variety of notable authorities on the matter will be speaking on the subject of the proposed mutant registration bill. Professor Charles Xavier confirms on Sunday that he will attend. Among other confirmed speakers are anti-mutant evangelist Reverend William Stryker.


WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
Logan is sent back in time, and to Mars, by a spectral entity bearing an uncanny resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.


OOC NOTICES:
• NAG TIME: over eighty people didn't check themselves in for this month's activity check. That's as many as eight tens, and that's terrible. Admittedly some of those eight tens were mods –WE ARE ALL BAD PEOPLE let's try to do better in future 8( We have to tally that stuff up at the end of every activity check, and it's a right pain to have to go through that many people who didn't check in but were still active – so BE KIND TO YOUR MODS AND ACTIVITY CHECK. IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND IT'S THE LAW.

• On a vaguely related note, DON'T MAKE PURA SAD. REMEMBER TO TAG YOUR CHARACTERS' NAMES ONTO THREADS YOU POST TO WITH THEM. Also, if you're going on or coming back from a hiatus, please don't forget to comment to the hiatus post!

• As ever, this post is open for talking about what's going down for classes and mentor groups this week. We do encourage people to thread classes and mentor group activities where possible rather than just handwaving all of them, but if you don't want to do a thread or you want to plan something or wevs, this is the place!

I believe there's a fine tradition of marriage counseling disguised as flirting in Marvel. *cough*EMMA*cough*

This is true. Alas, Pietro doesn't really find that to be much of a comfort.

There there, Pietro. You're not Courfeyrac, Lara won't pin you against the wall and have her way with you.

And that's about as much comfort as can be had.

Well, that's something, at least.

When would Lara have time for this counseling session?

Sounds good to me. I'll tag in whenever I see it.

Pft, Courfeyrac is very flattered.

Lara suggests that Courfeyrac and Warren join her on the beach trip.

Courfeyrac will bother Enjolras about it before making a decision, but will probably end up going anyways.

Lara... I'm not going to type that Lara that is obscene.

I'm sure Courfeyrac gets the picture.

*dies* Depends on how tipsy Courfeyrac gets?
