[ With this whole new place laid out just in front of her eyes, Mei can't help being excited, even though she is a little worried about arriving in an unknown land without any prior warning. The temperature isn't bothering her at all, actually, as it's just right.

And who would've thought that the cause of her excitement reaching the zenith will be...a marsh. ]

It's been a while! [ Why is she greeting it like an old friend? ] You've almost got me there! Got it?

[ That's a terrible joke, but Mei's giggling nonetheless. She'll definitely stay here to examine it a bit further. If someone comes closer, she'll warn them about the danger promptly. ]

Watch out! It's really boggy here. You might want to pick another route.

[ When one of the pods approaches Mei, she jumps on the spot and turns her attention to it. ]

Oh! Hello there.

[ Her first meeting with a scanner pod is off to a good start. She's giving it a soft smile, but there's sadness in her eyes. ]

What are you doing here? Scouting around the area? [ This might not be the case given how close to her head it hovers. ] Or maybe trying to find out something about me?

[ A hammerspace portal? Count Mei in, she's never seen anything like it before, and she's pretty sure that it doesn't belong to the world of science. She's really curious about it, still. And it has nothing to do with taking shelter from the sprinkles. ]

What should I do about it, I wonder. [ It looks dangerous enough to put her hand inside but is there any other way to check how does it work? ] If it works like a black hole, I'd be done for.

I...! I already have my own weapon, thank you!

[ Mei finds it rather difficult to get through to Brie who insists on handing her a weapon anyway. That's the reason why she ends up holding a one-handed sword and a shield. ]

Umm...I don't think I can even use it. Would you like to take it?

[ if there's anything else you'd like to do, feel free to come up with your starter or hit me up at koohii! ]
