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!

Thought he was Pietro Maximoff, whose name Tommy shouldn't really know because he doesn't know either of them, so he keeps his mouth shut about the specifics.

"It's no big deal. I'm Tommy-Tommy Shepherd." His foot vibrates up and down on the ground in a constant noise. "You're new this year, right?"

"Wanda Maximoff. Nice to meet you." Her eyes glance down at his vibrating foot. God. He really WAS like Pietro. Curiosity swirled in her head, but she held on to it, for the moment. "I am. ... It's horribly obvious, isn't it?"

[speedyavenger]

"Yeah, you looked pretty lost." Reassurance isn't exactly Tommy's strong suit, so he doesn't usually even try. However, Wanda's kind of special case even if she doesn't know it.

"That's not a big deal though. I mean, sometimes I go through a wall and get lost myself."

[maximoff_girl]

"Ugh, if I could go through walls, I'd be even more lost." Oh GOOD, he was a mutant. Or at least had some sort of powers. Magneto's lessons were all still very fresh in her head, and she was much more comfortable with mutants. "This place is-- huge! And I only know a handful of people."
