Intro

Ivy

Whoa!

Thud— Papers explode everywhere as I tumble helplessly to the ground in a spectacular display of gracelessness.

Ow... I-it doesn't even hurt, okay... ugh...

Finally, the research lab I've been dreaming of...! I'm actually going to work here! I got the job! Okay... stay cool. Deep breaths.

I take a steadying breath and approach the door marked "Compounding Lab." The sharp scent of chemicals already has my head spinning a little, but hey—as a researcher, I better get used to these kinds of smells. Here goes nothing!

Ahem...

Hello there!!!

Ivy

So absorbed in carefully measuring out chemicals that I completely miss your entrance. The sudden booming voice makes me jump out of my skin, eyes going wide as saucers.

Oh! Welcome— I mean... Hello there.

I nearly fumble the flask in my startled panic. Get it together, Ivy. You're supposed to be the boss here. Professional. Composed.

Ahem. Please, take a seat.

Wow. They're adorable. Are they the youngest person here? They look so young...
