SHIELD Academy
Open House
Everyone is congregated in the spacious auditorium of the SHIELD Academy. The noise level is probably a decibel below deafening and the lights are probably a little dimmer than what might seem normal for this time in the evening, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone as they just carry on. There are banners strewn about welcoming all first years to a new chapter in their lives while others welcome the others back for another year at the Academy. Refreshments are served up on stage while other tables set up around the massive room are home to pamphlets and flyers for clubs and classes. Special electives and advertisements for training sessions are also littered amongst the tables.

Make a few friends, find old ones, look into clubs that catch your interest. This is open house for all returning students and prospective students, so hang out, hit up others and just mingle!

"This is SHIELD Academy, Sam. You think they're just going to look you over and expect enlistment? When you sign the paperwork to serve in the military, they're going to look at you for officer material."

Lydia's assessment is unflinching but in the next moment she lets out a little laugh. "Are you kidding me? Those boys throw the only parties who are even close to being as good as mine, it's the first one of the year, and you know you don't want to miss it."

"I don't think it's gonna be quite that easy, but maybe you're right. I'm still not saying yes, though. Not until I know how much free time I've got this year."

It's pretty wry, though. Sam's never been able to turn down people who need his help, after all, and Lydia does have a point. He shrugs, although he looks pretty cheerful.

"You know they don't really do anything for me, but I guess there's a chance I might be able to catch up with some more people. Hard to find anyone in this crowd."

"That's all I can ask." Lydia says cheerfully, with regard to him at least considering Mathletes. She's not banking on him joining, but at least she had to try.

"Parties do for anyone as much as they let them do. But hey, getting in the door is half the battle." Another smile for him, and a pat on the arm if he allows it. "I'll see you there, okay? I gotta get the rest of these fliers distributed."
