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!

"I play cello, guitar, bass, double bass even if I look silly doing it, piano, a little violin. And I can keep a basic tempo on the drums, but nothing fancy." To say Maya was an overachiever was putting it mildly. She seemed almost bored listing off all her skills.

"Oh, right, I also sing. Music is kinda a big deal for me." Understatement of the year.

"That's, uh, that's really cool."

Darcy shifts uncomfortably. She knows she's not really anything special compared to a lot of the people here, but she hadn't been quite ready for this.

"Well, I'll just take a flyer and maybe check it out sometime." Or just use the piano when no one else was around.

"Sure. That's cool."

Maya felt like she may have done something wrong, cause Darcy looked a bit more nervous about things now. But... what could she do? She handed Darcy a flier and watched to see what Darcy did next.

"Ok, thanks so much."

She gives her a smile, stuffing the flyer in her bag. She does her best to push aside her own insecurities, running a hand through her hair.

"I'll see you around, Maya."
