NEWS:
⊗ On Monday the case against Doctor Farrell, previously of Tricell, continues as he is formally charged with involvement in the Henderson and Dopes assassination. His actions are announced to be separate from Tricell, although Tricell stocks do continue to drop as the fallout continues.
⊗ On Wednesday Lotta Hart publishes an article in the local gossip magazine that includes a photo claiming to show a flying saucer in the skies above New York.
⊗ Over the Weekend there is a free musical event in the Salem Center's outdoor concert area. The organizers are working hard along with local volunteers to help get the summer bash ready in time. Some of the performers include Fire Bomber, Josie and the Pussycats, the Gavinners, the Gullwings, and Powerline. Many more are expected to attend and participate, and the event promises to have a lot of hard rock. (Expect to see a slightly forward dated log.)
THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
⊗ Summer holidays shenanigans continue!
⊗ On Tuesday an industry day is held! Representatives from various mutant-friendly organisations come forward to talk about the exciting opportunities they are willing to offer, and staff are encouraged to come forward and talk about their experiences out in the big wide world.
⊗ Now that the staff have finally caught Tolian Soran he has been taken into custody by the authorities and they are free to recover from the experience. Some Summer Classes are cancelled this week as they settle back into things. Students quietly celebrate.
⊗ There will be a movie night on Thursday, because staff are hoping it'll keep students out of trouble while they recover. You can stay up beyond curfew!
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS:
⊗ Magneto publishes a book detailing his experiences as a leader figure in the mutant world entitled 'Magneto: Deliverance from Oppression.' In it he details the history of the continuing discrimination against mutantkind and his part in fighting it. His various defeats by the X-Men and their part in helping promote a positive mutant image are conveniently left out.
WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
⊗ Rumours began to fly when Wolverine was seen in talks with big name publishers CarperHollins. However, Wolverine's plans to publish a best selling autobiography came under fire after his ghost writer apparently claimed Wolverine was 'Embellishing the facts too much' and that 'nobody would believe it'. Wolverine countered by commenting that 'The guy was an ass'. Plans for the Autobiography are now on hold, however the writer is now making his own plans for a book based on his experiences with Wolverine entitled 'Taming the wolf: when egos collide'.
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!
