Hey y'all!

The name is Sophie and I'm a newbie. I bring Daryl Dixon from the Walking Dead into this fabulous world of X-men, mutants and politics. He is kind of a dick, but give him a chance and he'll probably worm his awkward way into your heart.

Also he's teaching hand to hand defense classes and survival camp. Though teaching is a strong word for what he'll be doing... He's been around for about half a month so feel free to assume you've met him or the like.

This is my first time back into online RP since livejournal did.... things.... so forgive any errors or excessive edits I make, but otherwise you can reach me through Daryl's journal, skype at pumpkinmushroom (dn: butt stallion), or plurk here! Don't be afraid to ask any questions or say hi or whatever else.

Weekly Update - Nov16th to Nov22nd

[astonishing_xmods]

OOC

⊗ Since we skipped last week, this Weekly Update will cover two weeks worth of stuff!

⊗ Once again, we really want to encourage players to use the PLAYER PLOT post.

⊗ There will be a normal AC period this month in spite of slowness, so be ready for that when it goes up next week!

⊗ If you're looking for a topic to post about or have a log for that's not bounding off of what's already happening in the game, please take a gander at our CALENDAR post for ideas!

⊗ If there are any new updates on the X-Team front, post them here! We should have the team directory up during Thanksgiving Break this month. Hopefully.


⊗ Please be sure to make use of the AU CR meme, especially since we got a batch of new characters in!

⊗ There seems to be some confusion over this, so we'll make it clear now and note to add it to the FAQ later: The player characters only represent a portion of the school population. The majority of the people attending and teaching at the school are not Japanese. There are a significant number of NPCs, both student and faculty.

SCHOOL NEWS

⊗ If you haven't already, please check out the last newsreel mingle log. It contains important information about the state of the world as well as some hints about the plot of the game.

⊗ Resident noble knight-type Alric is putting together an X-team! Sign up!

⊗ Al Swearengen is probably the only man that can advertise a bar and a field instruction class at the same time.

⊗ The modern internet age can be a scary place.

⊗ It's Feliks's birthday! That means you should definitely harass him about being an old man.

⊗ Comic book characters usually have pretty intense backstories. Marisa wants to compare notes.

⊗ IMPORTANT PLOT RELATED LOG: Infiltrating a federal prison to get the truth from Dr. Bolivar Trask.

⊗ The infirmary is a hell of a place in what is essentially a highschool for superheroes. I mean seriously.

⊗ It was an app cycle period, so we've got some new characters to meet! Eren, Naoto, Yuuko, and Daryl!

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

AROUND THE WORLD

⊗ With the midterm election season over, Graydon Creed's Last Stand cohorts are pushing Mutant Registration as THE ISSUE closing out 2018. They hope to have the act signed into law, one way or another, by the beginning of 2019...

⊗ The National Film Board of Canada has maxed out Logan's answering machine (who still uses a tape based answering machine these days?) with desperate calls for his attention.

⊗ The other target of investigation by the X-Men is a man named Sebastian Shaw, founder and operator of Shaw Industries, a multi-billion dollar defense contractor that, in the wake of the constantly fluctuating diplomatic relations with Genosha, has been a very big name in government circles. Rumor has it Sebastian Shaw is a member of an infamous group of the world's wealthiest and most influential people, the "Hellfire Club" and have been conducting secret meetings in New York City...

⊗ The Mutant Liberation Front, in turn with the rising tension in world politics against mutants, have grown even bolder. More and more, their presence is being felt. There have been talks of them starting riots in Paris and Tokyo, as well as the familiar graffiti showing up in more high-profile locations.
