5/4 - Cats invade the school! More specifically, the known barn cats at the school are sneaking indoors and generally taking over and demanding copious amounts of attention while acting out. They are like this all weekend.

5/6 - A statement is put out by Trask Industries that the leaked email was taken out of context and that they are NOT planning on creating those Sentinels :).

✖ XTAGRAM 5/3/24 - 5/9/24 ✖

instructions & examples!

4/27 - Videos start going around the dark web of people being tortured in some very familiar traps. A few make it to known sites but they're taken down quickly so it can be difficult to actually witness them unless you know how to look. But some people can have seen them, have fun!

4/30 - Files are leaked from a hacker consortium, internal emails and such that discuss further use of Sentinel tech to unearth mutants. One specifically posits that they should push for something to be made for police cars to be able to scan people they pass by, in other cars or not.

4/6 - All of the water receeds rapidly, and a tiny island (fits about 10 people) comes up out of the lake. It even has what looks like the stone remains of a gazebo. The weather turns 75 and sunny for the next week.

3/29 - Good Friday, no school! The weather continues to be pretty, but the lake has raised by a few inches. Huh. Between now and next Thurs, the lake will rise enough that the water is touching the basketball court.

3/22 - FINALLY THE RAIN STOPS! It is beautiful outside all week. Also PLOT! A reminder on Kick: it is extremely addictive and has a horrible withdrawal period. It's been described as "breathing the electric air of the future", "it ma[de] them feel like movie stars beings directed by God, on location in Heaven", and "angelic and violently insane". Thread is open to X-Men and Statix! Once back at the school, Statix are being put in containment cells due to their withdrawals and needing to be near the medlabs. The door is locked for their own protection, but when they're up they can be let out once they've talked with someone to understand where they are.

It continues to rain. Plus a ton of lightning and thunder! The pool is drained because it's starting to overflow, and the lake is gaining some ground from being flooded. Could this be related to the lake monster?? (no)

3/9 - At precisely 12:01 AM there is an enormous BOOM, and an immediate downpour. Massive thunderstorms are present until next Friday. The temperature stays steady and in the 50s, though.

There was going to be some other weirdness but I'm giving you all a break, be happy. I REMEMBERED WHAT IT WAS, you're all no longer lucky.

3/10 - Everyone seems to have come down with something. Roughly half of people test positive for mono, and the rest with the flu. Sorry yall. It seems to be healing-resistant until the 13th, when that starts to work.

2/3 - National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day! Which Paint is taking seriously. Sundae bar all morning!

2/5 - 2/14 - Carnations are being sold at lunch for a dollar each all week for a SC fund raiser. You buy one, and the SC will have it delivered to the person during class.


We are going to be doing a LOVE PLOT that will happen next weekend! To prep for that, tag here (comments screened) with who you want involved, it's opt-in. This will all seem completely normal to the people under the spell, no cheating! We will be doing separate lists for kids and adults because some people are creeps >_>.

1/29 - A report comes out that there is a new version of Kick in pill form; this one is a lighter high and not as addictive. You know you want to try it :)

1/21 - All food is ice cream, unfortunately. But there does seem to be some vegan versions?

1/24 - Kick is released into the air at a pro-mutant rally, causing a frenzy and all kinds of bad between powers going nuts and people having the confidence of gods.

12/22 - It starts snowing in the common rooms! Sort of. It's not cold, and it doesn't seem to have much substance beyond very small piles in corners and the like. Magic snow! It doesn't melt on you, just dissipates, so no need for umbrellas. Fires in all the hearths, and of course continued Christmas offerings in the cafeteria and cafe.

12/23 - Secret Santa gifts are exchanged at a Christmas party. Christmas music, food, games, etc.

12/24 - Santa comes to visit at night! Everyone's been told that Old Saint Nick will be in the Great Room at 7, and anyone that comes gets a (reasonable) present from him. People able to sense powers will be able clock him as a shapeshifter, but it's the thought that counts.

12/25 - Everyone's door has a full stocking hanging from it (two for shared rooms, of course), and there's a nice present under the tree for everyone. Presents galore this year, apparently!

12/26 - Christmas hangover cures. An enormous brunch, which still includes some holiday favs like eggnog and holiday shaped-and-themed foods.
