Psychonauts[]
Before the start of Basic Braining in Psychonauts, J.T., Elka, and Chops can be seen chatting next to one of the Kids' Cabins. If Raz attempts to speak to them, they ignore him and hurry to Coach Oleander's class. Raz next meets them inside the Coach's mind awkwardly hanging from a trapeze together before losing their grip and plummeting down.
Afterwards, J.T. can be seen outside the GPC, accompanying Chops's guitar with his harmonica. The two warn Raz of the dangers of Sasha Nein's advanced training. Later on he hangs around outside the Main Lodge shooting targets with his PSI Blast. Near nightfall, J.T. eavesdrops on a conversation between Elka and Chops in which she warns Chops to back off from her boyfriend, because she wants him all to herself.
If Raz tries to warn him about the brain-stealing monster, J.T. says he has some thinking to do about his best friend and his girlfriend.
After re-braining him, J.T. wises up and vows to spend more time with Chops, (and Elka has gotten back together with Nils Lutefisk.) They guard the Kids' Cabins together during the night.
