Kiki gave the other woman a pointed once-over. "You're one to talk about fun-sized," she left it at, even if it was a sore spot. She'd expected Melanie to drop her off before parking elsewhere, and was surprised she was stopping at the same building. "Gotta have something to put on the resume," she agreed, and even career student looked better than claiming extended periods of unemployment. She had a hunch that in certain industries, supervillainy would secretly be an asset. Investment bankers, maybe.
"Lucky," she agreed, using the door this time to exit the car. She hadn't brought anything with her but her keys and the phone in her back pocket, which she removed to check that she hadn't received any texts. Leaving the car was like stepping into an oven, and she'd be happy to be in the air-conditioned science building.
"I'm headed to the lab," she said, before recalling that there was more than one. "Metamaterials," she added, flip-flops slapping noisily against the pavement as she walked, tucking her phone away. It wasn't actually called that, but she thought it was easier than the official full title. "I'd invite you, but Tierney gets all…" Instead of sayings words, she wiggled her fingers in a way that was presumably intended to convey something meaningful. It might have helped if she had made any effort to deviate from her overall apathetic demeanor. "He's probably going to take my gum," she added for emphasis, cracking it again and making no move to spit it out or prevent that from happening. "I can't even play Pocket Frogs in there. It's bullshit."
She scratched at her hair, an enormous mass that she had put into a braid at some point three days ago and which now resembled the sort of thing some people spent a fortune on products to achieve. "Thanks for the ride," she said as she opened the door to the building, hands in her pockets and holding it open with her back.
