[microbrobotics]

Where do you work?

[bombshelled]

This pharmacy in Heropa. [ She shrugs. ] It's the job they gave me when I got here. I haven't gotten around to finding a new one yet.

[microbrobotics]

Huh. I guess that works. Doesn't seem to suit you though.

[bombshelled]

Yeah, I suppose it's good enough for now.

[ She looks over at Hiro. ]

What do you think would suit me, then?

[microbrobotics]

[ Hmm. He plays with one of the remaining Bayminis idly while he thinks. ]

Something more exciting. Challenging. You seem pretty smart, y'know?

[bombshelled]

[ Lana sort of chuckles and looks back down at the Baymini in her hands. ]

I'm pretty sure you're the only person who's ever said that about me.

[microbrobotics]

... Really? Nobody else at all?

[bombshelled]

Definitely not any of my teachers. Or classmates. ...Or my grandma.

[microbrobotics]

Your grandma?

[bombshelled]

[ Lana waves a hand like it's no big deal. ]

Yeah, I, uh, went to live with her after they locked up my mom. She didn't exactly approve of most of our life choices up 'til that point.

[microbrobotics]

Oh. Ouch. I didn't think about that. Do you like her other than that?

[bombshelled]

[ She makes a face, though Hiro probably can't see it from this angle. ]

Let's just say as soon as they let me move into my own place, I was gone.

[microbrobotics]

[ He can guess though. ]

... Sorry.

[bombshelled]

[ Aaaaand now we're taking a deep breath and moving on with our lives. ]

Whatever. She was a grumpy old bitch. I'm better off without her.

[microbrobotics]

Then what does it matter what she thinks? And your teachers and stuff, they can be pretty dumb too. I say you're smart and they're wrong.

[bombshelled]

And you're a genius, so you're obviously right, then, huh?

[microbrobotics]

Exactly. I know what actual smart looks like. Not the stupid stuff they say is smart in school.

[bombshelled]

[ She doesn't say anything for a bit, but she's smiling.

Then, ] My Bombshell costume does have a labcoat.

[ Labcoats are for smart people, right? ]

[microbrobotics]

That's a good start.

[bombshelled]

[ She turns and points at him, face firm. ]

I draw the line at goggles, though. Goggles are for evil, mad scientists.

[microbrobotics]

How do you feel about helmets with visors?

[bombshelled]

Mmmm... [ She seems to consider this. ] I feel like it would mess up my hair.

[microbrobotics]

I guess mine isn't long enough to mess up.

[ He does need a haircut, though. Getting kinda shaggy. ]

[bombshelled]

[ Shaggy, and begging to be mussed up. Which is what Lana reaches out and does now. When she pulls her hand away, she give him an appraising look. ]

Hmm... Nope, you're right. Looks just as messy after as it did before.

[microbrobotics]

[ Heyyyy. He laughs and makes a face. ]

That means it's perfect.
