yourmeijestyWhat you can call them: Mei
What their conversation space looks like: The scene is a tea garden, an eclectic but elegant mixture of English and Chinese. English roses line the space's walls, just barely in bloom with gorgeous, large flowers in many shades. There is a neat walking path lined with bird fountains where sparrows will occasionally drink and cool down before flying away.
The path leads to a crystal-clear lake, where lily pads cluster in groups of three, and the banks are carefully shaded with weeping willows in full bloom. Koi fish in many different patterns and colors swim around lazily, enjoying the crisp, cool water and occasionally nibbling on the lily pads. There is a delicate path of stepping stones that cut across the lake, spaced just wide enough for the average person's step.
Inside an open-walled pagoda just past the lake's stepping stones is a beautiful woman, dressed in pink silks and wearing a jeweled headpiece that shifts the light in the room to delicate rainbows on the ceiling. She smiles at your approach, and begins to pour you tea. There is a very comfortable cushion on the floor waiting for you by the low tea table, across from the mystery woman.
What can you expect from Arcana Chats: She’ll very politely greet Travelers, offer them a seat, and offer them a bit of tea. She’s very willing to gently answer questions and otherwise just mom at people. It may very well become clear that she (and her husband) regards the Travelers as just children, and her answers and such take that bent--that she is explaining something to a small child. This doesn’t mean that she’s got a limited vocabulary or that she’s keeping her words small, but rolling with simplified concepts and possibly leaving out “when you’re older” sorts of information.
For OOC answers to specific questions or actions your Traveler might take during this first meeting, please leave an OOC comment on this entry, checking to make sure it hasn't already been answered.
