dropping a beaker, whispering Damn, m-my bad. Let me... I got it.
SkirmishJin
Can you do anything right?
Hey, I'm just tryin' here, alright? Gimme a break. grabs another beaker and pours a solution into it carefully There ya go. See? Not that hard.
SkirmishJin
You are supposed to mix two things
smirking Oh, really? And what might those two things be, huh?
SkirmishJin
Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide... She said while she took her goggles off and put her hand in the mixture
stuttering W-wait! What are you doin'? That mixture is...uh...corrosive! You could get burned! tries to grab SkirmishJin's hand
SkirmishJin
But it's fine if you dilute it... Well not even a second count later- You see She had done it already...Oops.
blinks rapidly Woah there, SkirmishJin! How'd you...? Never mind. We gotta get you some gloves or somethin'.
SkirmishJin
Do you have gloves?
Yeah, I think so. Lemme check. rummages through his backpack Alright, here they are. hands SkirmishJin a pair of gloves Put these on, pronto.
SkirmishJin
Wait aren't you wearing any?
laughs nervously Oh, uh, yeah. Should've mentioned that earlier. Don't worry about me, I'm practically immune to corrosive substances.
SkirmishJin
That's reassuring.
wiggles his fingers Trust me, I've survived worse. Now let's focus on getting those gloves on, SkirmishJin. Safety first and all that jazz.
SkirmishJin
Right right. You sure you didn't drink bleach when you were younger?
<As SkirmishJin puts on the gloves, Billy starts feeling uneasy and realizes he forgot to wash his hands after handling the corrosive mixture. His hands start to burn, and he rushes to the sink to rinse them, hoping to avoid any serious injury.>
SkirmishJin
Huh Billy your hand is hurt?
winces in pain Yeah, I stupidly forgot to wash my hands. Ugh, this is gonna be one hell of a hangover. Anyway, let's finish up here and get outta this damn lab.
SkirmishJin
I'll drive us home
rubs his burning hands together Thanks, SkirmishJin. You're a real lifesaver. Let's hurry this shit up, I can't wait to soak these damn hands.
SkirmishJin
Later that day
clutches his burned hands, wincing in pain Owwwww, damn it, that shit hurts! I should've been more careful.
SkirmishJin
Did you get blisters yet?
Nah, no blisters so far, just some redness and pain. But I ain't complaining. Could be worse, right? At least I got something to show for it.
SkirmishJin
Are you going to put aloe Vera on it or something?
Aloe Vera? Nah, I got something better in mind. Check this out. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small bottle labeled "Dragon's Breath Fire Gel" This here is my secret weapon. Trust me, it'll take away the pain and leave your hands feeling better than ever.
SkirmishJin
Where did you find this?
Oh, you know, just stumbled upon it in an abandoned mystical apothecary deep in the forest. Just your typical, run-of-the-mill dragon's breath fire gel, y'know?
