a -- arrival

[Waking up in a world entirely unlike the one she left behind is nothing new to Mei, but the circumstances associated with this time around are considerably more positive. It’s a bright, sunny day, there’s pleasant music playing in the background, and there are no sentient robots running around destroying the world. (As far as she can tell, anyway.) The strangest thing she’s encountered is the wildlife, but it’s the good kind of strange-- The kind that rekindles her sense of discovery and imagination, that reminds her why she became a scientist in the first place.]

Castform!

[The pokemon on her shoulder chirps and rubs its head against her cheek, which serves as a reminder of another one of the reasons she’s embracing this change in scenery with open arms-- These things are just so goshdarned cute. Mei giggles and pats the Castform affectionately before continuing on her merry way, exploring New Bark Town with the utmost enthusiasm. It’s rewarding work, and she’d do it all day, if she could. There’s just one problem…

She is wearing a coat. A giant, heavy coat. And the aforementioned sunny day? That doesn’t mix well with her choice in apparel. Mei eventually stops and sits on a conveniently placed bench near a tree, drawn to the offered shade from the heat bearing down like a moth to a flame. She fans herself, and anyone nearby can see that she is sweating and red in the face.

Help her.]

b -- video

[The pokegear screen lights up with Mei’s face, showing her smiling and waving and just generally being her upbeat self.]

Hello, everyone! Mei checking in. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the nearest research facility? [She pauses to take a look around her surroundings, noting just how small this town is, and quickly amends her statement.] Or… A library? [Another pause as doubt and uncertainty begin to creep in.] Or any place of learning, really! Whatever the closest equivalent would be.

[She nods firmly and looks satisfied with her wording, ready to end the broadcast there, but then her eyes widen as a lightbulb clicks on in her head.] -- Oh! I’m in New Bark Town, by the way. Sorry, I almost forgot! How embarrassing.

[ Much like Mei, Chris is a new arrival as well. With his weapons gone and a leery Stufful keeping its distance from him, Chris decides he's better off skimming through his PokéGear in the meantime. Along with people-watching here and there, but what snaps him out of planning out his course is Mei taking a seat close by. While he's certainly better off in his BSAA uniform in regards to the heat, he still finds some shade to find his bearings.

Looking up, Chris gauges she was either someone who had just arrived or a traveler who overestimated the region and its weather. Regardless, he speaks up when he catches how bright red Mei is. ]

Doing all right? [ Chris glances at his PokéGear again to double check the time. Just half-past noon by now; which might be rough for Mei considering her gear. ] If you plan on setting out for Cherrygrove today, then you oughta wait a few hours. The heat should die down by three or so.
