Friend, classmate, and coworker. They share a psychology class, and Spencer trusts his judgement, so he was the one who asked Vash if he knew of any good psych internships. It wasn't until he'd *already* gotten the job that he realized he probably should have specified that he meant psychology internships. In order to avoid tanking Vash's reputation at the Motherlobe, he's conveniently "forgotten" to mention that he isn't psychic to anybody.
Classmate, coworker, and friend. They’re in the same psychology class, so they study together a lot. Vash was actually the one to reccommend taking a Motherlobe internship to Spencer- he had zero clue he wasn’t psychic until it came up casually in conversation two weeks after he got the job. Spencer just… struck him as a spoonbender, he guesses. He now believes it’s his responsibility to make sure nobody else in the Motherlobe finds out about Spencer’s lack of powers.
Camper. Vash is entirely correct to be worried about them starting a forest fire. They're plotting. However, despite their penchant for mischief, Fina thinks Vash is cool.
Counselor. He is so worried they’re going to start a forest fire the moment he looks away. Otherwise, they’re a pleasure to have at camp and Vash is incredibly proud of their improvement!
Acquaintances. He uh... didn't learn about cryogenics in any of his psych classes. He thinks she's a good kid but he's still wondering in the back of his head how she is walking around with chunks of ice in her brain. He tries not to say anything about it.
Acquaintances. He’s nice, but they shared a really awkward silence the first time she explained the current state of her brain to him and Vic feels kinda bad about it.
Friends. Lazarus feels incredibly close with Vic, treating her almost like a little sister. She knows what it's like to be treated as a lab experiment, especially at a tragically young age. Lazarus is very aware that the agents in charge of Vic's case are wary of her, but she'll be damned if she lets the Psychonauts handle Vic with the same "Precautionary Measures" (read: treating her as a liability more than anything) as they did with when Lazarus was under their care.
Friends. Everyone seems afraid of Lazarus, but Vic doesn’t really see why. She feels a strong kinship with her, as a fellow victim of anti-psychic persecution and illegal experimentation, and sometimes catches herself thinking of her like an older sister. (The agents in charge of her case don’t like it when they talk, either, but Vic doesn’t care.)
Coworker. Spencer has seen her around, mostly while he's working the psychoisolation desk. He's never seen her use any psychic powers, which he takes a bit of comfort in. Maybe he's not the *only* non-psychic here that isn't on the custodial staff.
Coworker. Nadya uses the psychoisolation rooms as ballet practice space, so she knows Spencer a little. He’s never seen him use any sort of psychic power, but he just assumes he’s on a medical leave of some sort like her.
Podcast :] || Coworkers. He’s been making plans to learn her mental forging technique for months now, but he’s never had the time to… and he doesn’t seem to get why he shouldn’t now. He holds Harlow in high regard.
Coworkers. This guy needs to put his brain back in before she lets him anywhere *near* a fucking hearth. She respects him, especially for being so accomplished at his age, but FUCKING HELL please take a sick day.
Coworker. Channary is rather interested in his fast paced, glamourous life prior to the Psychonauts. She's been considering asking her what the best way to tastefully incorporate glitter eyeshadow into her work makeup would be.
Coworker. Micah’d be damned NOT to know who Channary is- he was kind of starstruck when she first joined the Psychonauts. She brings her coffee sometimes.
Coworker, mentoring his daughter. They both have kids around the same age, so they've shared parenting advice. Harlow has to admit that she's a little comforted by hearing from another parent that teenagers are just like that, and she hasn't made some critical error with Hermes.
Coworker and the father of her current trainee. They’ve got kids that are just about the same age, so they’ve shared parenting advice a few times. Micah thinks her daughter is in good hands with her.
Coworker. Lazarus didn't really get many chances to interact with the other interns she was in the program with, as the higher ups still considered her an exceptionally high risk, but she still knows Nadya. In fact, Nadya is the only intern she ever talked to.
Josie knows all about Nadya's crush. Lazarus has no idea about it, or that Josie can be bought.
Coworker. They were in the Intern Program together, and Nadya’s been nursing an embarrassingly large crush since then. So far, the only other living thing that knows is Josie, whose silence he’s been buying with craft supplies and scraps of meat from his weekly meal prep.
Senior agent, used to date her dad. Though they're still very cheery and upbeat around her, they have no goddamn clue how to address the whole "I'm your father's ex-lover" thing.
Junior agent, the rest’s kinda complicated. Ex-supervillain or not, she thinks they’re ultra-lame.
Ex-lover. On good terms, though Jules is relaxed with almost everybody. They may be overly casual with Micah, considering.
Ex-lover. They’re on pretty good terms, though Micah still thinks they’re kind of a jackass.
Mentor and superior agent. Harlow is very enthusiastic about teaching, and she's not too bothered by Makenah's lateness. Hell, she was 17 once and she's got a son around the same age, she knows what it's like. The exploding weapons might be a bad sign, but Harlow hasn't tried to pry too much.
Mentee and inferior agent. Makenah still doesn’t show up to her classes on time, but she’s genuinely interested in mental forging and surprisingly open to learning. As of right now, all the weapons that she makes explode after a short while, but she thinks that makes them way cooler.
Father. Makenah is Micah’s only child, and in his own words, the best thing to come out of his otherwise-tumultuous former marriage. He has custody over her from Friday to Monday every week, every other holiday, and the first four nights of Chanukah. She worries that Makenah isn’t taking her training seriously enough, but otherwise tries to give her all the support she can.
Daughter. Makenah is a daddy’s girl and only a LITTLE ashamed of the fact. They love each other dearly- she’s always been closer to her than she is her mother. Plans to move in with him once she turns eighteen.
Podcast :0 (Coworkers, don’t talk much. Swears they’ve seen her on a magazine cover or something.)
Coworkers. They don't really know each other. Channary swears she's read that name in True Psychic Tales somewhere though.
Podcast :) (Coworkers. Sometimes asks them for help puppeteering his body during presentations.)
(Coworkers. They're inviting this guy on a beach vacation the soonest chance they get.)
