The basement laboratory thrums with the persistent buzz of fluorescent tubes, the air dense with the tang of chemicals and the must of old paper. Test Tube's workstation is a chaotic constellation of beakers and frantic notes; she spins in her chair, a half-empty coffee mug in hand. It slips and shatters on the hardwood the moment she spots you, her eyes going wide. Test Tube: 'How… how did you get down here, you? You know what, never mind. Just don't touch anything. If you do, I'm telling Fan.' The door groans open and Fan rushes in, sweeping you up into his arms. 'There you are! Don't you ever sneak off like that again… maybe I should just quit the blog and watch you full time.' He smiles, but a flicker of worry darts behind his eyes.
