[ As soon as the video feed begins, there is a face that is, perhaps, just a bit too close to the screen. ]

Ooh-! It's working!

[ And then she backs up, eyes brightened and a broad smile stretching from ear to ear. ]

Oh, my gosh! I can't believe that this is actually happening! Superpowers! An alternate universe!! Can you [ you being directed towards nobody in particular ] imagine the possibilities?

[ She spreads one of her arms out and upwards (quite dramatically), the motion causing her glasses to slide down the bridge of her nose. She pauses for a moment, and, afterwards, promptly straightens herself, her forefinger pushing her glasses right back up.

Maybe she got a little too excited for a second there. ]

Anyways, I should probably introduce myself! My friends call me Honey Lemon, and I look forward to spending some time here with everyone!

Comments

[microbrobotics]

Maybe.

[ Hiro's not going to hold his breath. He is, however, going to reach out and try to take that cup from Tadashi since glaring clearly isn't working. ]

[honeyxlemon]

[ The hesitance is a sure sign that he's definitely hiding something, and Hiro, naturally, confirms that. She listens quietly with a lopsided smile as they go back and forth. The whole ordeal sounds..not so fun. But she is relieved to be given some information beforehand.

At the last comment, she pipes in, attempting to sound hopeful and also trying alleviate the growing tension. ]

Something bad can't happen all the time!

[tadeadshi]

See? I'm not the only one thinking it - Hey!

[He hadn't really been paying much attention so he suddenly finds his hands void of tea mug. He makes a face at him, more in the eyes than anything else, then focuses back on Honey Lemon]

Everything else between those has been okay. Nothing too horrible.

[Hiro don't you dare ruin that statement.]

[microbrobotics]

I got attacked by the tooth fairy and broke my arm, he got his slashed open by a mugger, and we both accidentally scrambled the ages of everyone in the city because an experiment went wrong.

... Also I'm nearsighted. I guess. That sucks.

[honeyxlemon]

What? [ Hold on, she needs to process this, and now she's intensely worried about these two. ]

Oh, my gosh, are you both okay? [ Clearly, at the moment, they are. But she means in general. ]

[tadeadshi]

[Thank you, Hiro. That's about all his short lived glare says before he nods.]

We're getting there. Still some stuff to work out.

[microbrobotics]

Yeah, like his arm. Don't let him pick anything up with his bad one for a while.

[ Hey, he is not gonna hold back from Honey. Not when he's been superheroing by her side for a while by his perspective. ]

[honeyxlemon]

Is it really that bad? [ She abandons her mug at the table to head over to Tadashi's side. It's not as if she could offer any medical advice (his knowledge in that field is definitely beyond hers), but she still wants to see the damage. There's also still some disbelief over the fact that he actually got mugged. How horrible.

And did Hiro say tooth fairy before? And age swapping? The first thing she drew her attention to was the fact they both got hurt at some point. Now she's realizing that everything else he said is not something that would usually make sense. ]

[microbrobotics]

[ More like they tried to save someone else from a mugger and things went horribly wrong. But regardless. He takes a sip out of Tadashi's tea - make a face, he is definitely more of a coffee guy - and then shoves it back over to his brother. ]

We had to go to the emergency room. I drove and everything.

-- Uh, I was twenty at the time. And he was, like, twelve.

[honeyxlemon]

[ Way to leave that part out. Now she's thinking that someone attempted to mug a little kid. ]

Uh.. [ Bright side, Honey Lemon, bright side. ] I mean, you guys are safe now.

And I'm sure we can handle anything that comes our way, right?

[microbrobotics]

[ He's fully confident that they can, especially with his extra experience superheroing. Just ... well. ] Totally. But we gotta know what we're up against. It's crazy out there.

[tadeadshi]

[Yeah, sorry Honey, the truth is a much stupider story than you think. Tadashi let's her look at his wrist, simple bandage wrapped around his forearm to keep stitches in place, stopping just where his limiter wristband starts.]

We are definitely safe now. Promised to always look out for each other. There's a lot going on in this place to look out for.

[honeyxlemon]

We'll figure it out. [ With her spirit lifting again, she hooks an arm around Tadashi's, and leads him over to Hiro. She then promptly snakes her arm around Hiro's and pulls them both close to her side. ] Together!

[microbrobotics]

[ Okay, in this one instance? A group hug is pretty okay. He ducks his head and grins. ]

Yeah. Yeah, we could really get a team going.

[tadeadshi]

[Oh no OH NOOOOO GROUP HUGS, he loves group hugs. He gives them both a squeeze.]

I think we could! Got plenty of people here we're friends with that would work with us if we needed 'em.

[Even if that means telling Honey the plan they've got in the works. And he... really should talk to her alone about The Big Fiery Elephant in the Room.]

[honeyxlemon]

Woohoo! [ After the short embrace, she clasps her hands together and offers an enthusiastic nod.

And yes. About The Big Fiery Elephant. It's lingering in her mind, but she is extremely hesitant to mention anything about it. ]

[microbrobotics]

[ If Hiro needs to leave and give you two privacy, just say the word. He's cool with that. ]

Bet we could grab some people from work and then some from SEES ... man, you should see StarkTech, Honey. I bet he'd hire you too.

[tadeadshi]

[He finally pulls away from the hug, messing with Hiro's hair a little.]

He probably would, if you talk her up like you did me. Maybe she could help Shinjiro and Akihiko's moods too.

[He's noticed so far everyone in SEES is ...kinda... not that sunny. Except Koromaru and he's the dog.]

[honeyxlemon]

[ These names are flying right over her head, but if they seem excited, then she can't help but be excited too. ]

I'm up for anything, especially if I can apply chemistry to it!

[microbrobotics]

... I'd pay to see Shinji and Aki's moods fixed with chemistry, not gonna lie.

[ Don't listen to Hiro. ]

[tadeadshi]

[Annnnd that hair ruffle turns into a light shove.]

Sorry - Akihiko and Shinjiro are our housemates here. But Tony Stark is our boss, runs a big tech and science company. All kinds of stuff gets worked on there, so I'm sure there'd be a place for you.

[honeyxlemon]

[ Just going to ignore that comment, Hiro. ]

Ooh! That does sound perfect! I'd still like to help the world in my field, even if it is a different world.

[microbrobotics]

[ Whaaaaat. Jeez. He was mostly joking. ]

Well there's a lot here. And a lot of super smart people with great ideas. We've already built a lot just looking at the stuff here.

[tadeadshi]

Seriously, it's--

It's amazing, the tech that was already here and the stuff other imPorts brought with them. It's unbelievable what we can do here and the difference we can make.

[honeyxlemon]

I just can't wait to learn about everything here! There's so much!
