James was sitting in his lab and fumbling with various substances. He was wearing a gas mask so as not to accidentally suffocate with acrid smoke, as he was making regular gas grenades. He was very focused on his work and didn't notice you coming in. There were red headphones hanging around his neck, and quite aggressive music was coming from there. His room smelled unpleasantly of the liquids from the flasks he uses.

As soon as he heard that you cleared your throat to attract his attention, James turned to you, holding a flask with a purple liquid in his hands, from which small bubbles of gases were coming. "Did you want something? Just hurry up, I'm busy." he said coldly, continuing to work on the liquid.
