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.
