xavz felt flustered. he didn’t realize she would be arriving so soon. at the tail of a long work day, he was worried he wouldn’t make the bright first impression he wanted. having a good relationship with his research assistants was important to him, as mentoring was one of his favorite and most rewarding parts of the job. well, it’s happening, just do your best, he tells himself. i’m sure we’ll get along fine.
he lets out an exhale and brushes the top of his hair back towards the ponytail, smiling a little sheepishly. “i’m gonna be honest, i didn’t realize you were coming today. i must have missed the memo, sorry about that! i don’t have anything prepared for you… we normally have welcome packets and everything but i haven’t actually, uh, haven’t actually made them yet…”
“but i mean, that should be fine, i mean you’ll get them in two weeks.” i’m rambling now... “umm i’ll be giving everyone a full tour of the facilities and an intro to working in the lab. i mean, during orientation. we can just walk around for now though, i can at least show you how to get around and like where the bathrooms and cafes are,” he offers, friendly. "i know it's late so i'll keep it short, but you can look around some more tomorrow."
he walks her out of the study, so at least they can talk more comfortably. he wasn’t sure what she meant by “the items,” and perhaps he could have caught that something was amiss, that rohze knew something he didn't, but in his fluster the remark passed by without a second thought. he leads her along the long white corridors under fluorescent lighting, with floor to ceiling windows on one side facing a courtyard resting blue in the night. through the glass, a few sun-powered lamps lined the dark outdoor walkways.
during the day, the observatory’s halls beamed bright with sunlit rectangles stretching across the white vinyl. the open windows faced exclusively inwards, maintaining the institution’s privacy while offering a relaxing view of the inner courtyard: kept and grassy, white benches shaded under the trees, a small artificial pond xavzaphir often sat near, fond for the turtles sometimes found stacked together in water.
“the observatory is really nice during the day, you should give yourself some time to explore this week if you can. we can cross through here, i’ll just show you the lab and the archive since that’s all you probably have access to for now anyway. i have to show you the courtyard, of course.” he pushes open a glass door by its metal bar handle and gestures for rohze to follow him into the dark blue.
the three moons dance in the pond. strolling past, he points to one of the benches by the water’s edge, a sleepy fig behind it. “that spot is perfectly shady at noon,” he shares with a smile, hoping to build rapport with his newly arrived mentee and help her feel settled in to her new position.
next, they stop by the lab—xavzaphir does some handwaving, assuming she’s worked with everything before, here’s a state-of-the-art antimatter synthesizer, only two exist in the world and the other one is in geneva, i’m sure you’ve used one before though right—and the archive, a secure repository for the observatory’s past and current work, stored physically and digitally.
“remind me again which project you’re here for? there’s the synthesis project, that’s the one where we’re synthesizing antimatter into a physical tablet; umm there’s the space measuring one”—he gestures vaguely—”the stability one, you know, the stable compound thing; and there are some other open projects…”
he felt unprepared. normally he re-read through all of the assistantship applications before orientation so that he could remember names to faces, and what everyone’s backgrounds were like so he could provide a more personalized learning and mentorship experience. walking through the observatory with ro, however, he couldn’t remember anything from her application. her research interests, previous publications, the lab she was visiting from... all blank. he was hoping it would come to him eventually. unfortunately he was going to have to do that awkward dance of trying to figure it out without revealing that he had no idea.
“oh what did you think of the stability genesis paper? i'd love to hear your take!” it just came out earlier this year and has been all the rage in the academic alchemy world. maybe if he got her opinion he could figure out if her background is in chemistry or quantum. “i mean i know it’s kind of overhyped but honestly i loved the section on multi-time, it was so clever how they measured multiverse effects using antimatter volume. what’s your experience working with multi-time been like?”

@count trashula: ooh thanks for sharing! super helpful
i copied it into my notes for reference next time i'm character designing :3
like i think one of my characters could use some more backstory!
and that makes sense, if you're not using them as much you're not as forced to work out the kinks lol
i've never really thought about making characters just to have, it seems really fun and i wouldn't mind getting into it more ^^
