NEWS:
⊗ On Tuesday rumours begin to circulate that Tricell are not just on the cusp of an X-Gene 'cure', but have also been working on atrifically reproducing the X-Gene. Tricell makes no official comment on the matter.
⊗ On Thursday there is heavy media coverage of a peaceful protest turned riot outside JFK airport over the continued use of X-Gene scanners. Police clash with protestors and 25 are detained, 9 injured.
THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
⊗ The holidays are over! Welcome back.
⊗ A new mentoring system is unveiled in the form of
Homeroom groups.⊗ In response to recent events, an unofficial X-Gene diversity week is being celebrated to promote understanding. Students (and staff!) are encouraged to explain the benefits and drawbacks of their mutations and share experiences. A good way to get to know people in your new Homeroom groups!
⊗ Preparations for Spring prom are underway! Hopefully those dancing classes have paid off.
⊗ It's still warm and rainy, although it's definitely staying drier this week. Enjoy it!
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS:
⊗ Magneto congratulates those who had the courage to fight back on Thursday, stating that systematic oppression of mutants by mankind must be stopped by any means possible. He goes on to add that people will always fear what they cannot understand, but to resist the march of evolution is foolish.
WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
⊗ Battled an evil group known as Team Galactic. Their nefarious plans seemed to have the rather tragic flaw that they didn't expect anyone to try and stop them, and their guards, despite huge arrogance, were not... particularly impressive.
OOC NOTICES:
⊗ As ever, this post is open for talking about what's going down for Xavier Institute classes, Homeroom group meetings, Brotherhood shenanigans, etc. We do encourage people to thread classes, group activities, etc. where possible rather than just handwaving all of them, but if you don't want to do a thread or you want to plan something or w/evs, this is the place!
EXCELSIOR!
