Three Take This staff members, all in grey Take This jackets and wearing convention badges on orange Take This lanyards, are standing in front of an AFK Quiet Room vertical sign with information and rules for the AFK Room. A hand drawn sign. Written text reads "AFK Lounge. You are safe here." Artist signature SB is at the bottom of the text. A rabbit and a cat are below, heads leaned together in a cozy pose. Three masked volunteers sit behind the table at the Take This Hope Booth while a visitor scans a QR code on the table. The table has various cards, badge attachments, and other informational flyers. It is covered with a navy tablecloth with the take this logo in orange on the front. Behind the table is a blue step and repeat with the take this logo in white, the take this psychomancer, and text that reads "The original mental health and games charity." Two take this volunteers wearing blue volunteer shirts stand between three pokemon standees (from left to right: chikorita, tepig, and totodile) at the Pokemon North America International Championships.
