Shuri After having spent some time working on her new 'toy', Shuri has moved on to another part of her lab that she has specifically set up for the ability to work with things in the field when she isn't there. Of course, she isn't using it for that now. Now, she's standing in the middle of that area with two, well, lightsabers in her hand. She is currently slashing at incoming boxes while music plays. Specifically K/DA - Pop Stars as the boxes move with the song, requiring her to slash in variosu directions. From appearances, the boxes are moving at incredible speed and causing her to have to swap around fast. She's keeping up though with incredible alacrity and accuracy.

Of course, when Pepper Potts came by to say hi, she was let in given her position and she is let into Shuri's lab given no one could possibly know that Shuri was totally busy. Real busy. Trying to get a high score.
Pepper Potts Pepper has meant to come by before now. Long before now. But between Tony deciding to run for President and her normal, everyday work schedule, she's been busy. Very busy. But here she is, a huge gift basket in hand, looking awed as she's shown in to where Shuri can be found. She can tell that the young lady is busy and doesn't want to interrupt, so she stands there, watching as she swings her arms and... does other things she doesn't really understand.

At one point Pepper does move, shifting the weighty basket from one hand to the other, causing the cellophane wrapping to crinkle noisily. Might be loud enough to clue the young royal in that someone else is present if no one lets her know that she has a guest.
Shuri In reality, Shuri was aware of Pepper coming in as soon as the door was opened /but/ she was busy. She's just finishing up the song though when the cellophane makes a noise and then she makes a noise of frustration as she doesn't seem to beat her previous high score. She tosses the controllers aside only for them to vanish in a digital burst of hardlight even as the rest of the set up seems to fade away and she looks back over at Pepper with a smile, "Sorry about that, was just finishing up." She nods her head as she walks over and then looks Pepper over and considers a moment, "Wait..." She hmms, "Pepper Potts, right?" She tilts her head in a questioning way before looking to the basket and smiling.
Pepper Potts "I have no idea what you were doing," Pepper admits with a smile, "but it looks like it was a good workout, if nothing else." Stepping forward, she offers the basket to Shuri, the contents of which seem to be snacks and drinks, tea and even a few mugs, the latter of all that bearing silly slogans and cute, cartoony animals upon them. "I am indeed Pepper. It is a pleasure meeting you, Your Highness." Is Shuri the kind of person who dotes on formalities and protocol? Maybe, maybe not, but Pepper is not wanting to offend and is going to err on the side of polite caution.
Shuri Looking at the basket, Shuri peers at the various things inside and then she grins, "I see Reese's Peanut Butter cups, you automatically succeed." She then blinks at Pepper and laughs, "Shuri is fine. That highness stuff is my brother. I'm just Shuri." She shrugs, "As for what I was doing?" She laughs, "It was a video game but I suppose it is also a good workout." She then takes a seat next to Pepper and then tilts her head, "So, what brings the woman who runs Stark Industries to my lab?" She hmms.
Pepper Potts The basket gets reliquished and she can not help but to groan a little. She didn't realize just how much she packed into that gift until after she had to carry it. "Shuri it is, then." Color Pepper very happy to not to have too much about titles, that being a concern to worry over in the future. "You should show that to Tony. I am sure he'd love it." The game, that is. The workout part of that? Probably not so much. "I came to say hello, for the most part, Shuri. With Tony on the campaign trail, I figured my meeting those he might be working with closely was a good idea, you know?"
Shuri A blink and then she gestures, "I'll be working with Tony?" She hmms and then considers, "I suppose I wouldn't mind meeting the man who was able to come up with that armor he wears." She nods her head, "Might be interesting to see if it is advanced as it seems to be." She then looks to the game with a laugh and then shrugs, "Probably not the most impressive thing I have made but I like it. Technically it's for professional use but who is gonna tell me no?" She smiles before looking to Pepper, "So, you came here to meet me. WHat do you wish to know?" She asks.
Pepper Potts Chuckling, Pepper shrugs a bit. "Maybe not you directly, but who knows? Maybe in the future our country might require your help." This is all new territory to Pepper, who is used to dealing with business people, not royalty and diplomats, and she's finding herself getting a little frazzled. Thankfully Shuri seems very easy going, that doing a lot to put her at ease. "I could arrange a meeting with him if you'd like. Perhaps we could do lunch." Yes. 'We'. Pepper has grown to think of herself as an extension of Tony so it's hard to not include herself in that. "And I will be sure to have him take you on a tour of his lab and show you his tech." Side-eying the game, she can't help but to smile. "I sure as heck wouldn't say no to you." Pause. "Well, I was curious about what you might be working on, if you can say. For no other reason than because I love learning about what other brilliant minds are developing."
Shuri A hmm and then she smiles at Pepper, "I am sure I will gladly go to his lab and give him a few pointers on how to improve things." She grins and then she pushes up and then considers, "Well, I can show you something I recently was working on." She nods, "Though what I'm working on now I'm not sure I can show off just yet." She then considers Pepper, "Do you have anything electronic on you?"
Pepper Potts "Improvements. I think Tony could definitely use help with those." Pepper says that with a bit of a grin, perhaps playfully hinting to how, just maybe, things don't always go so well for Tony in the lab as he might hope. Offered the chance to peep on something Shuri is in the middle of creating(?), Pepper can't help but to beam. She might not be an inventor, or an engineer, or anything else like that, but she loves to see what those who are can do. "Oh... yes." Pulling her phone out of a pocket, she sets it down and then takes off her watch and puts it next to the other device. "Think that should be it."
Shuri A nod and then she gestures, "Good, hate to destroy your phone." She nods her head, "Come over here." She then gestuers for Pepper to follow her to a corner of the room with what appears to be a sort of glass box about the size of an old phone booth. She then reaches out and picks up a small tablet and opens the box. She sets it on a table inside and then turns it on before taking something from a pouch on her hip and offers it to Pepper, "Here, take this and throw it at the clock." She nods her head.

The thing that Pepper is handed is what appears to be a small packet of sand. She gestures, "I call it Desert Sand. It isn't as impressive to use it on something so small but you'll get the idea." If Pepper does throw it, the sand landing on the device will sink into it and the device will immediately start to spark and malfunction.
Pepper Potts Pepper does throw it and is immediately impressed by the results. "That is very interesting. Does the sand work on an electromagnetic-level, or is it something more advance, like perhaps nanotech?" Okay. She might have picked up some of the jargon in her years working at SI. "If you can't tell me I'll understand, of course." Of course, she's hoping that Shuri will be able to divulge a little bit of those details if only so she won't die of curiosity.
Shuri A smile and then she shakes her head, "Not nanotech, just tiny little singular bursts of EMP." She nods her head, "They each have the capacity to release one tiny burst." She shuts the door and then grins, "Each single piece of sand wouldn't harm your phone or your watch." She shakes her head, "But the more sand, the more powerful the blast." She then laughs, "Glad you like it." She grins and nods.
Pepper Potts Pepper is definitely, and very obviously, impressed. "The implications... I mean, you know. What this could be used for. The limits are boundless, I imagine." Shuri surely knows the dangers of the use, and she's not about to preach to her, but there's a moment where she really wants to warn about what the sand falling into the wrong hands could mean. "The fact that you could make something like this is... it is awesome, Shuri. I am so impressed."
Shuri A laugh as she looks at Pepper and then she grins a little, "If you like those, then you should see me five hundred or so other inventions. All the same, I'm sure that you have plenty of fun things back at Tony Stark's lab." She winks and then she starts back over toward the seats and then looks back to Pepper, "I put together several inventions for various uses by our people." She nods her head, "I like to think of non-lethal and defensive ways to stop violence before it starts." She nods her head, "Though I am always ready to go the other way if need be."
