Weekly Update - Sep 7th to Sep 13th

[astonishing_xmods]

OOC

⊗ Just like in the last game, we will be doing Weekly Updates! This is a good place to post with your teacher character's lesson plans, updates to X-Teams, and keep informed on what's going on in everyone's classes. Feel free to post around and build CR!

⊗ By now, everyone should have posted to the various lists. If you haven't, it's the Hundred Years Dungeon for you.

⊗ These posts will generally have more meat to them as the game goes on, and will serve as something of a summary of what's going on in the game. If you're ever lost as to what's going on, just check the tag and get caught up!

⊗ There seemed to be some confusion about adding your character tag to posts you comment to. We do not, as a rule, require this by any means. But if you want to in order to keep better track of things, feel free!

SCHOOL NEWS

⊗ Club Week! We have both OOC and IC posts about this so far. If you haven't already started formulating ideas, feel free to share what you've got on this very post!

⊗ September 21s is International Peace Day and being the big ole' hippies they are, the Xavier Institute will be holding an awareness fundraiser that day. More details will follow next week.

⊗ The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge apparently still runs strong in 2018. Toph, Feliks, and FaiYuui have all taken the plunge. Who's next?

⊗ Being a mutant comes with a lot of mental baggage. Good thing our resident counselor is such a nice guy. If you have a character that could use it, be sure to give him a buzz!

⊗ Actual Disney Princess (no seriously) Giselle is offering Campus Tours free of charge! Caution: The mod team is not responsible for any potential musical numbers this might lead to.

⊗ You might also be interested in some ice skating lessons from a real live Canadian!

⊗ Or for the sporty types, get in on America's pastime with a quickly forming baseball team!

⊗ And course for all of your hi-tech gadgetry needs, Mad Moxxi has opened up shop in the sublevels.

⊗ GOSSIP TIME! Feel free to post to this thread and let people know what's the hot buzz around campus!

AROUND THE WORLD

⊗ As you might have already noticed on the game calendar, President Robert Kelly is planning to address the nation on Sept 22nd. More info on what his talking points will be to come next week.

⊗ The Institute's own Logan has received yet another offer to have his life story made into a television series. He has, once again, turned them down.

⊗ Genosha has been in the news a lot lately. Namely, it seems that negotiations between UN diplomats and Genosha about international trade have all broken down. Magneto understandably has a bit of a problem with trading with nations with a history of mutant right violations. Some of the bigger problem countries? The US, China, and Russia... which also happen to be three of the largest economic super powers in the world. We'll see how this story pans out...

⊗ There are rumors that Mystique, the assassin that set all of the events of the Phoenix Incident in motion, has been hiding out in plain sight as one of President Kelly's chief advisers. It is unknown at this time if this is true or not.

⊗ News reports of the rash of mutant organ thefts from five years ago have largely died off.

⊗ However, in a seemingly unrelated story, John Sublime, author of the best-selling "The Third Species", has had a larger and larger voice in the public sphere, especially on social media. He and his followers have created a TransSpecies Movement, many of its proponents claiming to be "mutants trapped in human bodies". More on this later.

GOSSIP/RUMOR MILL

[astonishing_xmods]

What's the hot news, true believers? Post it here!

[teufelskerl]

Logan and Ororo might be a thing. Just sayin.

[comparative_insanity]

Fai Flourite and Feliks Łukasiewicz are still just friends. Seriously, you people. Stop that. Some people just have more romance in their bromance.

[musou_tensei]

this is why no one believes tabloids. lies like this.

[seduceme]

Be careful wearing red around! It can drive some people absolutely wild.

[She's looking at you, Bigby Wolf.]

[wholovesyou]

You don't say...

[friendofdorothy]

In a rumor that surprises absolutely noone, Liir is the son of deceased insurgent Elphaba "The Witch of West Oz" Thropp. Also, he's green in...places.

Feliks secretly likes total bro clothes (Affliction, Tapout, Ed Hardy, collar shirts, etc)

[koukai_kirai]

Reki this is your fault

Reki hasn't washed her clothes in 5 years!!

[hearmyfeels]

Meulin is hiding a cat tail mutation, that some have swore they've seen when she's really excited.

[koukai_kirai]

Meulin has a catnip problem.

[seduceme]

Meulin actually has a sweater that is made of living kittens cuddling up against her all day.

[comparative_insanity]

Some of the teachers may appear to be encouraging pranks, but did you know that one student actually disappeared off the face of the earth after playing a prank on a teacher back in the days?

Tread carefully.

Madeline has been dating both Kaito and Amelia for several years and she and Kaito returned to bring the relationship back together.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY

[leyabout]

I'm just saying that if you don't think there are any rumors about the dicks of various shapeshifting and/or animal-themed mutants at the school, you're wrong.

This sometimes includes the ones that don't actually have dicks.

Questionable sex toy websites may or may not be referenced where more fantastical animals and shapeshifting are concerned.

[wholovesyou]

Isn't it kind of weird how nobody knows what Moxxi looks like without the makeup?

Like, literally no one.

[stardustreverie]

DOORS STILL NOT SAFE. Pleas keep it on a leash.

No, they are safe because why pull the same prank twice? I mean REALLY now?

[koukai_kirai]

I mean everyone knows the rumors that Hijikata used to date a student are bullshit. Hijikata doesn't date.

Rumor does however also have it that he's slept with all of the women and the prettier third or so of the men on staff, and never called them back. Rumor may be a decade or so out of date, and exaggerating a bit.

Feliks Łukasiewicz is TOTALLY NOT DATING FAI YOU GUYS. I heard he, uh. He has a boyfriend in Europe! A really hot one! He in no way started this rumor himself!

I head Toph doesn't really need that dog, because she can see by punching the Earth so hard it yields to her will and guides her where she wants to go.

I heard Reimu once went to a revolving sushi place and ate all of it.

Through Logan's veins runs not blood, but oddly colored maple syrup.

[preshrunk_cyberpunk]

Gaige really likes robots, if you know what I mean.

Re: GOSSIP/RUMOR MILL

Yuui Flourite. Serious taste in men/women old enough to be called dad/mom in public without anyone lifting an eyebrow.

Fai Flourite, on the other hand, sleeps with everyone but only dates the crazy and the criminal. There's some psychology there.

There are also some rumors that the twins are known to ~share~. They blame you, Amelia. They blame you.

[niepokonany]

Feliks Łukasiewicz totally uses those powers for Sexy Roleplay dressup. What, could you blame him?

Toshirou kissed someone once and gave them frostbite. That's why he closes off all his feelings now.

[musou_tensei]

THERE IS LITERALLY A ZOMBIE ON CAMPUS.

WHY IS NO ONE FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS.

[koukai_kirai]

Rumor has it that Kanji was sent here after getting in a fight with a gang of 20 bikers.

He punched them so hard they were never seen again.

[scorchedchivalry]

Some students claim Bridget got turned down by a senior.

[tofudog]

THIS JUST IN: Beast Boy spotted leaving Jack's single room in the early morning, looking tired but satisfied. Bromance or romance? YOU DECIDE.
