Weekly Update - Nov23rd to Nov29th

[astonishing_xmods]

OOC

⊗ ACTIVITY CHECK BEGINS TOMORROW!! However, given the upcoming holidays and extremely stressful work season for a lot of our players, we will only be asking for one activity proof for each character as opposed to the usual two, so there's no need to panic! As is tradition, there will be no AC in December.

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

⊗ The mods are proud and happy to announce the engagement of KET and EMI! Everyone be sure to congratulate them and wish them the best!

⊗ There are still a few more dates left for Novemver on the CALENDAR to use for post ideas if you're running dry!

SCHOOL NEWS

⊗ Martha gives a grim reminder of what's at stake over the Mutant Registration Act. Is civil war really at hand? Tensions are rising...

⊗ There are some late breaking intros from the last app round to tag into! Resident murder queen Grell, Necro-romancer Orin, and possible cannibal Ms. Suzuki.

⊗ Liir could use some help with an inconvenient secondary mutation.

⊗ The modern internet age can be a scary place.

⊗ Just because the world seems to be conspiring against you because of your DNA doesn't mean you need to neglect your gains.

⊗ Even teachers can have trouble with their powers.

⊗ Security Club? What kind of dorks would go for that?

⊗ Booker DeWitt wants YOU to join the few, the proud, the... janitorial staff.

⊗ THANKSGIVING EVENT For students with no home to return to, a huge feast will be held at the Institute during holiday break. ALSO, the Institute will have a float in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. Signups will go up soon!

⊗ 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

⊗ A member of the National Film Board of Canada was spied on campus holding a boombox over their head outside of Logan's window, blasting "In Your Eyes". He was quickly escorted off campus, with prejudice.

⊗ There has been strangely no news regarding the diplomatic meetings between the US and Genosha, in spite of President Kelly having been in that country for several weeks now along with his staff trying to secure peace between the two nations.

⊗ Dazzler's "Mojoworld" album is the must-have gift of the holiday season. Oddly enough, a huge shipment of the CD was delivered to the Institute with instructions to pass them out to the students for free if they wanted a copy, considered a very generous offer given the album is sold out in physical formats across the country, and most digital sources are so throttled by internet traffic it's impossible to download. Rumor has it miss Allison Blaire was actually a former student...

⊗ Mutant Liberation Front activity is the latest hot button topic being used by Last Stand congressmen to push further the idea of Mutant Registration. With President Kelly caught up entirely in Genosha, the largest political voice opposing Mutant Registration has been completely quiet, allowing the MRA to gain unfortold momentum. Public opinion is swaying against mutants...

GOSSIP/RUMOR MILL

Obviously the rumor that the economics teacher eats students is completely false. No, the only punishment for late assignments is a visit to the secret room in the Institute she's converted to a torture chamber. If you don't see someone later this week, better hope it's because they went home to be with family, not because they forgot to do their homework.

The new office lady and Mr. Takakage Kobayashi are totally a thing. Totally.

Just, he doesn't know it yet. BUT THEY'RE TOTALLY A THING.

One, it's Kobayakawa.

Two, WE'RE NOT A THING.

[deadlyjuliet]

THAT'S MY FAIL. I transposed his name with someone else, sorry D:

AND THEY'RE TOTALLY A THING, OK.

Thanksgiving

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric will be around for the party--but I may not have internet access from Wednesday morning until Sunday evening, so I'll have to tag in later. Also my AC may be in a smidge late. >.> Just a heads up!

Late congratulations is late, but congratulations, Ket and Emi!
