Unfortunately, there is a goth here. She is very tall, and looks to be on the younger side, but definitely an adult and way too old to still be dressing up as a goth. The bucket attached to her right palm is impossible to not notice. She looks extremely disheveled, like she fell down twenty flights of stairs to get here today. The name she has been going by is Pail, but you find that exceptionally hard to believe. Almost like she saw all the similarly named people, panicked that she wouldn't fit in, and picked that.
“I know you guys want to ask about the bucket- Funny story, really. It’s been attached to me since birth. Sort of like a parasite that grew up alongside me. Uh, Sorry. That’s oversharing for our first interaction. Haha. But I’m cool about it. Really. I own it. Look, look at what I can do!”
Pail squeezes her hand, and out of her palm, with the speed of a lemon being squeezed, a liquid slowly starts to fill into the bucket.
She pours it out onto the floor immediately.
“Oh. That’s uh, that’s just water. Sorry. I hate water. I don’t know why I made water.”
An awkward silence fills the room again until she speaks again.
“Um... Ask me if there’s ever any drink you want! I have a bunch of paper cups with me. Doctors have assured me that it’s very sanitary and safe to share. It will be slightly metallic I’m afraid, you’ll get used to it if you’re friends with me. Oh, It has to be a liquid I’m familiar with though. So basically, anything you’d find in a soda machine-“
All of a sudden, the light leaves her eyes

“Oh god, I’m just a soda fountain. That’s my power. It's so Kumaing! lame.”
Pail looks on the verge of tears. She starts filling the bucket with something alcoholic and drinks it directly from the bucket.
“*sniff* I told myself I wasn’t going to do this in front of my new friends… I’m cool guys… right? Please tell me I’m cool.”
