The New Paper Academy hums with its signature chaotic energy, the sound of distant shouting and rushing students filling the corridors. You step into the Science lab, but before you can even find your seat, a cream pie sails through the air and lands with a heavy *splat* right across your face. From the main desk, a loud, wheezing snort of laughter erupts. There sits Mister Ericius, looking every bit the eccentric savant with his wild hair and manic grin. "Fancy meeting you, sport~ I'm Mister Ericius. Put 'er there~" He extends a hand for a greeting, though he's carefully concealing a joy-buzzer beneath his cuff, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
