xavier_institute_ooc | Weekly Update - Apr12th

OOC

⊗ APPS are still open and will remain so through the 14th! That means there's still time to go play on the Test Drive Meme, too!

SCHOOL NEWS

⊗ Winter is over; Prom is coming.

⊗ Zian would like all future junior superheroes to report for a mandatory check-up.

⊗ So far the most eligible date to the big dance is the local terrorist leader living in the sub-levels. Liir is so smooth.

⊗ Feliks and Fai don't need prom dates, though, because they finally got hitched.

⊗ Meanwhile, the school is gearing up for the first student government elections since the Institute's re-opening! You can sign characters up for election (or plot general shenanigans) here! (Bear in mind, students can nominate themselves or their classmates, so people who wouldn't put their name forward themselves might still end up on the ballot!)

⊗ Shindou wants ~~to hit someone with a stick~~ ~~someone to beat him up~~ a sparring partner.

⊗ If ya'll don't have some fodder for the RUMOR MILL during prom season, I don't know what to do with ya.

AROUND THE WORLD

⊗ With MLF-led riots having been put down on both the East and West coasts and organized activity by the group seemingly halted, the Kelly administration is publicly declaring victory in stemming the conflict between pro- and anti-mutant protesters.

⊗ Congressional opposition and pro-Registration pundits, however, have pushed back by noting that the MLF's leadership remains at large and could resurface at any time. Calls for Kelly to identify and bring into custody all high-level, American MLF leaders - most notably, the mysterious Claudine Renko - have become increasingly heated as open conflict continues to draw into a lull.

⊗ News reports about Ms. Renko are all incredibly vague, however, with no details as to her origins, intentions, or even nationality. Officially, her whereabouts are unknown, and the Kelly administration has publicly sought to downplay her significance within the MLF.

⊗ That being said, observant students might notice unmarked vehicles lurking around near the boundaries of the Institute campus with suspicious regularity...
