Weekly Update - Mar8th to Mar14th

[astonishing_xmods]

OOC

⊗ APPS are open through the end of this week, so get those in!

⊗ Meanwhile, our Test Drive meme is still open for all your last minute voice test / character experimentation needs. Go tag around!

⊗ In line with our last quick note on the subject and Storm's recent announcement, we'll be trying to give student X-Teams more of a role in the game's action in the near future, which first and foremost means encouraging more to form up! (Faculty characters are welcome to get involved too, either by taking leadership roles as team sponsors/supervisors or just counseling students trying to decide whether to join up!)

⊗ For ease of plotting/coordination, feel free to plan out which of your characters are looking to join up, which might need a little encouragement, and which totally aren't up for all that spandex with each other right here!

⊗ Also, have you taken a look at our WANTED list recently?

SCHOOL NEWS

⊗ In the wake of the District X riots, Storm addresses the school concerning recent events and the student body's role going forward.

⊗ Robot Girl Labrys runs on Ballz Energy, should get some sleep already.

⊗ Sol's taking a personal day.

⊗ Marisa endorses gaming marathons / never being able to sleep again.

⊗ And school counselor Sakuya is here if, you know, you need to talk or anything.

⊗ It's been a quiet week, but surely there's still some gossip floating around? Come spread it at this week's RUMOR MILL!

AROUND THE WORLD

⊗ Though there have been no major clashes between the Mutant Liberation Front and Friends of Humanity since the X-Day Riots, National Guard and police crackdowns on both groups continue to dominate the news. Pro-Registration voices in both government and the media are putting increasing pressure on the Kelly administration to identify, locate, and arrest all members of MLF leadership who remain at large.

⊗ District X remains continuously monitored by the authorities following the end of the rioting. Though media coverage of the area has been scant post-X-Day, sources report a sharp decline in the availability of humanitarian aid in the District and repeated incidents of police harassment of mutant residents...

⊗ Made in the wake of the recent crackdowns, Genosha's offer of political asylum to any and all mutants targeted for their involvement with the MLF has drawn condemnation from pundits and officials across the political spectrum. Calls for the Kelly administration to break off attempts at peace talks with Magneto's government have only been renewed by accusations that this makes Genosha a tacit sponsor of mutant terrorism.

⊗ Representatives of the National Film Board of Canada have not been heard from since the riots. Current, wild speculation is that, during the chaos, they were taken prisoner by Morlocks and thus far have been too polite to ask to be let go. Logan doesn't care one way or the other; he's just thankful for the peace and quiet.
