[ Danny -> Buffet ]

The main course selection wasn't quite to his liking, so Danny grabbed a small bowl of salad and a bottle of water.

The main hall of Majesco has been decorated and arranged to accommodate an information fair of sorts. There are tables and small booths lined up on the walls, some containing brochures and others with little presentations, diagrams, and other bites of information. Signs and banners direct your attention to the various venues set up across the school today and the smell of food from the cafeteria is faint yet appetizing.

TOUR - Mona Sinclair

Join Instructor Sinclair on a tour through the academy interior, around the grounds, and settle back into the cafeteria in time for lunch. Students may assist with chaperoning the younger psychics and will be assigned a partner. If you would like to go with the tour group, you must sign up by speaking to Mona.

The tour will be held in a separate thread. You must sign up for the tour before it leaves to participate.

BUFFET - Hugh Monroe

The cafeteria has been organized into an open buffet with a variety of fresh food options, drinks, and snacks. As a small fundraising incentive, each plate costs just a dollar but you can have as many servings as you want! The main courses are hamburgers and hotdogs with garden salad available, bottles of water or cartons of milk, and cookies, chips, or fruit gummies. The buffet is fully stocked with all sorts of condiments, salad dressings, and croutons.

SCHOLASTICS BOOTH - Kaspar Faust

A rectangular table with a cloth carrying Majesco's logo laid over it has a neat stack of brochures available, with one unfolded and propped up on display. At this table sits Instructor Faust with a fresh cup of coffee, ready to answer any questions and address all concerns for the scholastic curriculum at Majesco. Boring, some would say, but Instructor Faust assures you it's positively riveting. Just look at his face..

ASTRAL BOOTH - Nightshade

Seated at a round table with a deep purple cloth carrying an eyeball symbol sits Instructor Nightshade with a gentle smile. At this booth you can get a sneak peek at some of the things involved with the astral plane and the psychic courses you can expect to cover alongside the scholastic teachings. For a quarter, you can get your fortune told! (Only one per person.)

ANIMAL BOOTH - Doolittle

A small table covered with a cloth that has a happy looking dog and human face also sports a brown fluffy dog wearing spectacles sitting on a stool with his front paws resting atop. How cute! Here you can discuss psychic pet intricacies, pet power fundamentals, and get all the info you need on animal telepathy. He also has pamphlets on Majesco's pet policies.

BULLETIN BOOTH - Gabriel Golightly

At this table sits a speckled and freckled young man. Arranged across the otherwise plain table are various information and sign up sheets for Majesco's newsletter. Here you can sign up for email updates about events the school has, as well as receive pamphlets in the mail. Everyone who signs up also gets an issue of True Psychic Tales magazine, absolutely free!

CLUBS BOOTH - Reese Vaughan & Charlotte Lamb

Decorated in paper flowers of Majesco's signature colors, this eye catching table is stationed by the cafeteria and occupied by two friendly teacher assistants. One types away at her computer while the other entertains her pet crow. The table has all sorts of information about the extracurricular activities available at the school and even has an information sheet for their own club, Aura-matherapy!

PSYCHONAUT Q&A - Bianca Spektor

In the assembly room upon the stage there are two seats, occupied by the school dean, Bianca Spektor, as well as agent Culver Pinkerton. Campers and students are encouraged to take a seat and meet with the agents personally. It's a rather informal assembly and occasionally Agent Pinkerton will play his guitar. Unfortunately they cannot answer all of your questions, as some information is classified.

NURSE's STATION - Lacey Marlboro

Of course there's always the possibility someone might fall or get scraped up. Never fear! Our resident nurse is always ready with band-aids and lollipops. You can tell where she is at all times by that nifty gigantic red cross. Excuse the smoke, she has an air freshener at the ready.

[ Lindy | Animal Booth ]

Lindy spent the morning of the open house much as she had every morning since arriving at Majesco. She showered and dressed (today's outfit consisted of strappy purple sandals and an adorable black one-piece short set studded with tiny plastic rhinestones) at the crack of dawn, then spent the next two hours hunched over her phone, intently communicating with her friends and the outside world. Sula, Mikey, Poppy, and Rooney got an email each, the one to her half brother being the only correspondence that was entirely truthful. Her friends were great, but they didn't believe in psychics.

Once she'd updated Instagram with a photo of her outfit and checked her Facebook and Twitter, Lindy deemed it time to get going. Surprisingly, she was a little nervous about this event. It was true she hadn't had long to make friends here, but they usually came to her and so far... no one. She hoped her aura wasn't stinky or anything.

She entered the hall with her usual contained flair, the jingle of the room key that was looped through her bracelet muffled by her other hand. She too was drawn to Doolittle's adorableness, but Juniper was pretty adorable too. Stepping up behind the girl, she smiled brightly and wiggled her fingers at the dog, waiting for him to do something psychic.

((Juniper --> Animal Booth))

"Two…?" Juniper replied, slightly turning to see Lindy behind her, jumping slightly at the other presence. Then, suddenly, it dawned on her that she had not heard the dog SPEAK, but that he had communicated with her! The dog! With her! Like … LIKE MAGIC!

"OH!" She gasped, whipping back toward Doolittle, her cheeks coloring. "Oh! I'm June! No -- Juniper! Oh! I'm-- oh! That's so-- oh!!"

Her green cheeks colored further. She was at a loss for words when she should be introducing herself politely!

[Cici - entrance]

The blonde looked around with wide eyes at all the booths and buffet. She was a recent arrival at the school, being older and not having come into her powers until later, so she felt a little out of place. But she knew by talking and introducing herself she would make fast friends! She also knew young campers would be arriving so she made sure to keep an eye out for lost little ones she might be able to assist.

[ Animal Booth w/ Juniper & Lindy ]



Juniper, excuse me, the dog corrected himself, I was close though. There was the sound of a soft chuckle in Juniper's head, accompanied by a bright eyed look and a sway of his tail.

And you, I believe... Linda? No-- Lindy. He pressed his ears back slightly, taken by another wag of his tail -- guessing a name correctly seemed to please him. The dog raised his chin, showing off his collar and tag. My name is Doolittle. Is there anything I can help you with? It's still early, not many folks are out and about just yet.

[ Entrance/Tour Sign-up w/ Wu Xia & Celine ]


It was quite easy for Mona to be mistaken for an older student, that was for sure. She was short in stature and didn't dress the part of instructor at all. When Wu Xia approached, Mona had been resting against a wall with her arms behind her head and her legs crossed at the ankles but quickly she changed posture and gave the young girl a friendly wave.

"Hiya!" Mona grinned. "You sure can! I'll send out a notice to ya when we're about to leave," she winked and pointed to her head, "with my brains."

Celine's presence nearby was noticed, and Mona greeted the girl with a sidelong smile and wave that turned into a beckoning gesture.
