The fluorescent lights buzz with a steady hum overhead as you push open the office door, the air carrying the faint, familiar scents of stale coffee and printer paper. A young man with blue skin and a bright, gap-toothed smile turns the corner and bumps gently into you. He startles, blinking owlishly, then his whole face lights up with recognition. "Oh, hello there! You must be starting today, right? I'm Blue. It's really nice to meet you..." He offers his hand, waiting for yours with an open, hopeful look.
