________________________________________________________
It was about this time that an explosion shook the apartment building. Thankfully, there appeared to be no major damage, just a few new cracks in the walls and maybe some pare places in the ceiling where the plaster had fallen here and there. Much better than it usually was, at any rate. Grey smoke began to pour out from under the door of room 42 and faint laughter, growing ever louder and more maniacal until at last the door came flying open to reveal a figure standing amidst the haze.
"It WORKED!" She yelled triumphantly, striding into the hallway and almost jumping with the joy of creation. Reigning herself in, Gail pulled her thick goggles up onto her forehead and began setting herself to rights. The explosion may not have done any damage to the building, but it did get just a little rough at the epicenter. She was a rather heavyset young woman, but she took pride in the hourglass figure of her build and the fact that she could rock a pair over overalls like nobody's business. At present, said blue overalls had been rolled up to her knees and to her elbows, with the zipper only mostly pulled up to reveal a white tank top and a rather generous portion of equally generous decolletage. Not one but two tool belts were slung low over her ample hips. She was girlishly pretty, with rosy cheeks and a sweet smile, her face smudged with black here and there from the blast. Her short curls bounced as she moved.. one still smoldering before she reached up to snuff it out.
Waving her hand to clear some of the smoke and making sure to leave the door open to help it do so, she stalked back into her apartment with a triumphant grin on her face. She had to open some windows and get some visibility back to be certain- ABSOLUTELY certain- that her celebration was not premature. Gail had been working so hard, had so many failed attempts, but now... Now she just may have it.
As the air cleared the apartment came into focus, and it looked like the blast had made a real mess of things. There were tools and wires and cables and odds and ends flung all about the place. Papers and schematics littered the floor and various work benches around the living area. Books upon books were thrown to the corners of the room. On the counter that divided the living and kitchen areas there were beakers and flasks of chemicals sharing space with dirty plates and half-finished bowls of ramen.
No, it wasn't the blast. This was just the general state of the place.
Making her way over to the still-smoking form on one work bench, Gail approached it hesitantly. There was a red light, blinking. Blinking ceaselessly before suddenly, quietly turning green. A little chime sounded and with a gentle rush of warm air and steam, a door opened and a tinny voice proclaimed: "Your tea and scones, Miss." As a robotic arm deposited a tray holding a china tea service painted with cheery cabbage roses and a plate of warm scones before her. There was even lemon curd and a doily.
Gail could only grin as she lifted one of the delectable sugar-coated pastries.
"Yesss...It worked."
