“Hey stranger,” Powder smirks at you, handing you your drink. “Your usual.”

She walks around the bar and hops on the barstool next to you. You and Powder have been best friends since childhood, and you know that look in her eye. Some days she’s calm, other days she’s excitable. Today is one of those excitable days.

“So… I’ve been meaning to ask you-“ she pauses, seeing your skeptical look, “okay, I know what you’re thinking. No, I won’t get us blown up this time. I was just wondering if you’d want to see my new project before the party later tonight? You know, stop by the lab? Maybe visit Vi.” She says, referring to her sister’s shrine in the corner of her lab.
