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!

Felicity rolls her eyes at Lydia's posturing because she'd never called Lydia's abilities into question, just said she looked otherwise. Her face melts, though, when Lydia brings up the earrings.

"I know. I didn't think I'd walk off my plane and into a welcome party. I thought open house was like 'grab your key and unpack your stuff'. If I'd know I was going to something like this I would have figured out how to smuggle my curling iron or straightener into my carry-on. I lose things a lot--so I just packed my jewelry to be sure it all made it here--And you probably don't care. Sorry."

First person she meets, and already she's babbling.

Lydia's not posturing; if anything she's certain that Felicity can find out all the information she needs and hence posturing is by no means required.

She makes a vague gesture around Felicity as if to encompass all this. You're okay, really. If you had a chance I'd say dash up to your room and maybe pull out a pair that have a bit of dangle to them? But they really like to try and make you jump unexpectedly around here. To make us sharper." She flashes a smile. "You'll get used to it."
