Return of the Weekly Update - Sep 28th to Oct 4th




OOC
Elsa-mun was kind enough to post a HMD meme for those who want to make use of it! We do not have an official scheduled HMD for this game, but if you guys feel that is a thing that should happen, feel free to let us know!

ACTIVITY CHECK!!! This time it's just a check in, but we still need you to do so, or else you do risk getting dropped from the game. And as always, please make a note of our AC rules in the Rules Post.

We are adding IC contact posts to the Student Directory, so if you haven't posted yours there, please do so!

RESERVES OPEN OCT 4TH, and a Test Drive Meme will be going up that same day. Tell your friends! Spread the word! A big part of how the game's plot will progress depends on the size of the game, so this next reserve/app round will be pretty important.



SCHOOL NEWS
While it went up last week, there is still some tagging around that can be done on the News Post. Lots of interesting plot strings to grab onto!

Velma's got an idea that some students might be interested in getting in on!

Fai and Christelle investigate the London bombings and also engage in typical spy movie stuff.

John Sublime held a rally! It was predictably uncomfortable...

President Kelly gave his address, as well as some other important news from around the world, still worth tagging around in!

GOSSIP TIME! Since it's been two weeks, I'm sure there's quite a build up...



AROUND THE WORLD
Better get used to the name "Dazzler". As THE premiere mutant pop diva, no doubt every single celebrity news avenue is going to be super focused on her. It's a good thing her music is pretty good, or this could get pretty annoying...

There is noticeable backlash in the US against President Kelly's intentions to veto the Mutant Registration Act. There are all kinds of rumors about his change of heart, chief of which is that his own daughter may have come out to him as a mutant, but some feel there's a deeper conspiracy going on.

The National Film Board of Canada has issued a public statement urging Wolverine to reconsider his position against having a film made about him. Many Canadians believe he is a national treasure that deserves to be immortalized in film, perhaps in an educational documentary. Logan, predictably, just belches and grumbles when asked about it.

The unfortunate incident in the news post was just the beginning. All over the world, "U-Men" are becoming louder and more violent. They are a cult that has formed around John Sublime's teachings, but right now, no legal connection can be made. Interpol, the FBI, SHIELD, and Professor X are all investigating...

The plot of Wolverine's planned movie will consist of him being stereotypically nice and Canadian.
niepokonany: (How did it end up like this?)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-09-28 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I heard it was actually just him frolicking in, like, a field of maple syrup or something?
knighterrantofthedragon: Alric with a casual expression (casual)

[personal profile] knighterrantofthedragon 2014-09-28 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently the maple syrup is the spinach to his Popeye, and triggers his healing factor.

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
More than that, his claws and strengthened skeleton structure are actually made of crystallised maple syrup.
soccerwhisperer: (math what is that)

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2014-09-29 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I heard it would feature his pet moose, which he rides into battle.

[personal profile] friendofdorothy 2014-09-29 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Secrets revealed!

His healing factor is actually just good health care.
legendarybub: (joking)

[personal profile] legendarybub 2014-09-29 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Rumors like these are the best part of his day. That and kicking asses in training.

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Followed by bacon and maple syrup.

Other students have noticed Koshi going to Beastboy's room in the evenings a lot. They say it's for study, but really, "Beastboy" and "study" can't even coexist in the same sentence without quotation marks. Cue "batting practice", "pitching and catching" "remember that rumor about animal parts", etc.
realmenknitplushies: (Awkward....)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-09-28 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
BB's roomie says just give him some damn warning, OK?
batteredbatter: (I Knew It)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-09-28 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry Kanji, can't handle all this education going on?

Wait no that still sounds dirty...
kickstart_my_heart: (Default)

[personal profile] kickstart_my_heart 2014-09-29 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
so when is kanji going to break it to BB that Bridget's a guy
realmenknitplushies: (Cut-In)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-09-29 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
This might be a case of "you never asked". Though I'm not sure that even Kanji's 100% sure...
tofudog: (deadly hamster assassins)

[personal profile] tofudog 2014-09-28 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone says it's important to avoid distraction when you're studying. It's a good thing Beast Boy knows roommate code.

A sock on the doorknob means 'do not disturb,' right?
realmenknitplushies: (Knit knit knit)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-09-28 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
sock returned with the hole fixed thank you very much
kickstart_my_heart: (everything you know is wrong)

[personal profile] kickstart_my_heart 2014-09-28 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
on the other hand, students that are still convinced Bridget is a girl insist that "she" and BB are an item.

some of the students that know Bridget is male also insist this.
batteredbatter: (I love this soundtrack!)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-09-28 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
All actually involved parties remain oblivious.

[personal profile] tactlesstactician 2014-09-29 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Soren continues to tell people to piss off when they ask him about his scandalous roommate, whether it's "why's a girl living in the boy's dorm? Is she your sister or something?" or "omg so are BB and Bridget a thing or something? Do they do it in your room too?" or "like so I heard that Bridget has an assassin teddy bear is this true? omg that would be so scary to sleep with."
kickstart_my_heart: (raw I'm gonna give it to ya)

[personal profile] kickstart_my_heart 2014-09-29 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
bridget would say he's sorry but he mostly doesn't even know any of this is happening, whoops
batteredbatter: (Can You Do Me A Favor?)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-09-30 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
TEAM OBLIVIOUS

[personal profile] ladyliberty 2014-09-28 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
She's so proud of her babies :')
batteredbatter: (Can You Do Me A Favor?)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-09-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Because studying is important to good education?
kickstart_my_heart: (I like my bands in business suits)

[personal profile] kickstart_my_heart 2014-09-29 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
because they're both romantically linked to a green person, the dream of all men since he first glanced at up at the stars?
ladyliberty: (I dunno lol)

[personal profile] ladyliberty 2014-09-29 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, exactly.
batteredbatter: (Nice to Meet You Everyone)

[personal profile] batteredbatter 2014-09-30 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly Amelia is a great and responsible role model.
ladyliberty: (Whee!)

[personal profile] ladyliberty 2014-09-30 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
The best!!

The kid who sits next to someone's roommate in math class was saying that Madamoiselle Desrosiers is dating Mr. Hijikata, Mr. Wolf, and both of the Flourite twins.

Debate abounds as to which of the former two is the token Bad Boy in her harem, if the twins know about each other, if it's some kind of a group thing, the question of isn't Mr. Hijikata like gay or in mourning or something?, and who else is on the list.

Debate abounds in general, really.

Someone's older brother heard from a cousin's friend in Spanish class that she actually has colour-coded 'rings' for all of them too.
knighterrantofthedragon: Alric smiling slightly, head tilted (Default)

[personal profile] knighterrantofthedragon 2014-09-29 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
This of course raises the question of which color corresponds to whom.

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Or maybe they have pretty little patterns on them. Apparently the rings are used as napkin holders for a joke sometimes.
koukai_kirai: (Eight legs to the wall)

[personal profile] koukai_kirai 2014-09-29 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Do the twins' match?

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
They might be numbered 1 and 2.

[personal profile] whosafraidofthe 2014-09-29 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
The fact that Mr. Wolf responds to any and all questions about this with "It's complicated and really more her business than your." only adds fuel to the flames. Rumors abound that he is aware and jealous of the others.

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Heard he barks on command and she's got a literal leash and collar for him.
whosafraidofthe: I've never seen (Smirk♪ Wake up with a face)

[personal profile] whosafraidofthe 2014-09-29 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Confirmed by someone's brother's classmate's girlfriend - he's forgotten to take it off for class once or twice, see how he picks at his shirt collar and tugs on his tie when he's nervous? Muscle memory.

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyone else noticed how grouchy he gets when she's off on a mission or marking papers with the others? Coincidence?
koukai_kirai: (He's looking for a home)

[personal profile] koukai_kirai 2014-09-29 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You're probably not helping your case, Wolf.

Not that Hijikata cares.
whosafraidofthe: I've never been (Doubt♪ To wake up in a place)

[personal profile] whosafraidofthe 2014-09-29 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He tried and therefore no one can judge him.
teufelskerl: (oof)

[personal profile] teufelskerl 2014-09-29 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Kurt isn't certain whether he should be bothered the woman he's been flirting with is taken and hasn't told him... or that he's not part of this rumored harem

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly he's not included in this supposed harem because he hasn't yet done the song and dance number for her.
comparative_insanity: (Or it's real but it ain't exactly there)

[personal profile] comparative_insanity 2014-09-29 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Fai intentionally adds fuel to the fire for this rumor because some men only want to watch the world burn and no one is sure if this is a fact that makes it more believable or less.

[personal profile] seduceme 2014-09-29 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyone else noticed whenever he adds to the rumor, there's a vodka shortage in the city?
niepokonany: (But you can dip your feet)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-09-29 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
This is a complete coincidence. There is no possible correlation between these factors.
niepokonany: (...I threw up on your bed.)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-09-29 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Uptick in the sounds of crying and Independent Woman Who Doesn't Need Your Shit music from the upper floor of the boys' dorm: noticeable and immediate.
