[ 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

[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!

[microbrobotics]

Lemme go get some of our projects then. You two catch up, okay?

[ There's your opening. He's gonna take his time grabbing stuff out of his room. ]

[tadeadshi]

[He watches Hiro go and. Oh.

Oh that's what he's doing. Mm. Tadashi takes another sip of his tea now that it's getting cold and watches Honey Lemon a minute.

Oh wait, something he's genuinely curious about.]

They gave you your files right? Did you read them yet?

[honeyxlemon]

[ It's not often that there's silence between them, and she is about to break it when Tadashi does so first. ]

I read through them as soon as I got them!

[tadeadshi]

Yeah?

[Oh no is that nerd excitement on his face? MAYBE.]

Okay, you've gotta tell me. What powers did you get?

[honeyxlemon]

I'll show you!

[ She is literally so excited to tell him about them because, for her, she couldn't have gotten anything better. ]

You're gonna love this! [ Holding out her palm, she presses her other hand on top of it. Slowly, she pulls them apart, but now a small square shaped bit of iron is sitting in the center of her palm. ]

Control over all the periodic elements…and-! [ Her eyes narrow in light concentration, and the iron slowly begins to rust. ]

Chemical reaction manipulation!

[tadeadshi]

[He can't help lean in a little when she puts her hands together, waiting to see what happens.

His eyes widen and a grin spreads across his face. Oh, that did not disappoint.]

That is so cool. That is so cool, wow!

[honeyxlemon]

I know, right!? [ And potentially extremely dangerous, but she trusts herself enough. ]

Look, look, I can shape it too. [ Easily, as if she has clay in her hand, she rolls it up into a ball. ] It's like I have a chemical lab right in my fingertips. [ And there's still so much more to learn about it. ]

What about you?

[tadeadshi]

Seriously, perfect abilities for you, Honey Lemon.

[And he means that with all the sincerity in the world. He taps his fingers against his power limiter bracelet at the question.]

Little harder to show off, but I have healing and technopathy.

[honeyxlemon]

Ooh! Technopathy! Like..telepathy but just control over electronics, right?

And healing sounds wonderful! [ It definitely suits him, she thinks, and it causes her to smile. But she does have a question about it. ] But can't you heal your own injuries?

[tadeadshi]

Sort of? Hiro can move anything mechanical, he's calling it technokinesis. I touch anything mechanical and can... I guess 'feel' it, is the best way to describe it? After a while I can control it.

[He purses his lips at the question.] No, I can't heal myself. Tried a few times.

[He considers telling her about the pyrokinesis but... Yeah no one needs to hear about that right now, no one in the room having to deal with fire, nope.]

[honeyxlemon]

Wow! You'll need to show me how that works sometime!

[ Her head tilts to the side, and she taps her forefinger against her chin at his comment. How interesting. The ability to only heal other people. Still, knowing how selfless Tadashi is, it still suits him. ]

It's still really neat.

[tadeadshi]

Sure, definitely. And-- yeah, it is. I've used it some already, it's been a help to have.

[A lot easier for him to just take his limiter off than it is to find Ken and him summon his persona.]

And the job they gave you?

[honeyxlemon]

You're always looking out for others, aren't you? [ She says this softly and as a compliment. ]

Chemistry lab research assistant! [ It's not too different than what she's used to, at least. ] I'm excited to start!

[tadeadshi]

[He shrugs, leaning back against the counter. It's just... It's how he is, he can't help looking out for others.]

Oooh, yeah they definitely had you pegged when you got here. Lucky you, getting the good job on the spot.

[honeyxlemon]

I'm not sure how they figured it out, [ and she's not sure if it's a good thing that they did ] but it makes this place feel less foreign, if that makes sense.

[tadeadshi]

[He considers telling her for a minute about Fate controlling the porter but it might be a bit much for her first hour here. Something he'll coffee back to.]

No, I definitely understand that. I've been here for two months and it's still pretty foreign to me sometimes.

[honeyxlemon]

[ She's considers her response as she returns her attention back to her tea, which, despite room temperature at this point, she takes a sip of. ]

You and Hiro being here help too.

[tadeadshi]

[That-- His smile turns a bit more sympathetic towards her.]

You being here is a big help too. I'm glad we're here for you.
