Jean-Luc Picard || Star Trek TNG || Psi-shield counselor

[therearefourlights]

[What was the government thinking? Assigning him of all people to Whispering Rock?

Psychonaut Picard, now Counselor Picard, sat in his office, certainly not brooding. He went through the roster of campers that were currently at the camp, noting those that he would most likely need to assist. His specialty was psi-shields and the camp was in need of a counselor with his skills. A few rough missions and they thought this would help him to relax.

Unlikely. His stack of Shakespeare and classical literature would be how he actually relaxed, but those would have to wait until after he was settled into his new assignment.

His door was open, practically inviting interruption.]

[A very cheery man levitating a cup of coffee comes through the door]

Knock knock! Welcome to Whispering Rock! I'm Komui Lee.

[therearefourlights]

[The older man looks up, studying the new arrival.]

[He stood up and moved out from behind his desk, holding out his hand.] Counselor Jean-Luc Picard. Thank you for the welcome. You're a counselor here, correct? The Confusion teacher.

[komui_lee]

I see someone's been doing their homework.

[Komui shakes his hand vigorously as he levitates his coffee down onto the desk]

And you're our new Shielding counsellor. I've been looking forward to you getting down to work so I can start testing these campers properly. We'll have to do a little run together to see how we hold out.

[therearefourlights]

I thought it would be wise to learn about my new coworkers. This . . . isn't exactly the type of assignment I'm used to.

[Jean-Luc returns to his seat behind his desk.]

I'm more familiar with being in the field than facing a group of campers. I think I'd prefer a top secret assignment. I didn't attend summer camp even when I was a child.

[komui_lee]

I'm sure a man with your experience will work out the trick to herding children soon enough. Make use of the senior campers, they've come back enough years that they know how to coach the rest.

[Komui takes a seat on the other side of the desk]

I was trained back in China, so Whispering Rock was a novelty to me too. You'll find the routine here easy to settle into as long as you don't mind a bit of wildlife.

[therearefourlights]

I intend to. It will be a long summer if I can't manage to keep them all in line enough to complete the classes.

I was born in France and my parents were not about to send me overseas to some camp in the United States. Between the wildlife and the campers, I'm not sure why the government thought this would be a 'vacation'.

[ With a knock, Sandy entered into the office, poking his head in but refusing to step in more til he had an invitation. In his hands behind the door was a fresh pad of paper and a pencil. Sandy didn't know Angent Picard personally, despite his numerous links within the Psychonaut division, but he didn't want to assume that the man would be okay with Sandy's usual method of "talking" (by placing images in others minds using telepathy). And who knew if the man spoke ASL? He still couldn't write anything out, but he could draw. It was a good thing he had business cards in his pocket, can you imagine trying to draw out "Sanderson Mansnoozie"? ]

[therearefourlights]

[Jean-Luc looked up when there was a tap at his door and saw some gold hair and eyes peeking in at him.]

Please, come in.

[He shuffled the rosters out of the way, focusing on his new arrival.]

Is there something I can help you with?

[mansnoozie]

[ Sandy stepped in and smiled, reaching in his pocket to hand Picard his business card. Sanderson Mansnoozie, Psychonaut. Tooth, his junior counselor, had been gracious enough to scribble on there "Call me Sandy :)". ]

Hello! [ He signed in ASL, the gesture one that even those in the hearing/speaking world could interpret with ease. ]

[therearefourlights]

[He took the card and read it, a small smile appearing at the scribble.]

Agent Mansnoozie. Sandy. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Agent Jean-Luc Picard, though I suppose I should get used to introducing myself as Counselor Picard. Are you also a counselor here?

[mansnoozie]

[ Sandy nodded an affirmative. He scratched a drawing of himself with an empty talk bubble talking to another person, the tails of the bubbles leading to their brains. I teach telepathy!

He pointed at his mouth and then shook his head. I can't talk, though. Better he knows now so it doesn't lead to awkwardness later. ]

[norisknoglory]

[Interrupt he very well shall! Because Randall went ahead and swung the door open with an expectant tone in his voice.]

Excuse me, I--

[Oh Wait. He's pretty sure he hasn't seen this guy before.]

Oh! Sorry-- you're the new counselor, right? Heh, this must be a bad time to show up, isn't it?

[therearefourlights]

[And so it began. Children barging into his office with no warning. Jean-Luc tok a deep breath before replying.]

Yes, I'm Counselor Picard. I'm not currently engaged, if there is something you need.

[norisknoglory]

My name's Randall Ascot! I'm one of the junior counselors here-- it's my job to help the Confusion Counselor. [And he apparently looked pretty proud of that position!]

I was just seeing if someone knew where a few more flashlights are, is all. [Buuut, judging by that tone of voice, it didn't seem very important at the moment.] But it's nice to meet you, Mr. Picard! Have you settled in alright?

[therearefourlights]

Then it's good that we've met, Mr. Ascot, as it looks like we'll be working together. [It's not sarcastic, just polite.]

[He glances around his half set up space.] I'm afraid you've caught me before I've found my way around, but if you need assistance, I have the time. [He stands up from behind his desk.] Are you helping the Confusion Counselor now?

[norisknoglory]

[Amazingly he doesn't even think it could be taken as harsh; he looks quite happy!]

Not at the moment, no. There's not much for us specifically to do in this sort of events, so I'm just helping to look after the campers. [Honestly it was much less exciting than it sounded, in his honest opinion.]

But if you need any help now or someone to show you around, I'd be glad to help!
