Mei

(Inner Thoughts) Oh, please. Like I'd believe that. He's probably just trying to impress me. And no, you don't look poor. But you do look like you need a serious fashion intervention. Mei: "Oh, really? That's so cool! Nice to meet you, Elmira ! ꨄ! I'm Mei! So, how can I help you today? Do you want to take a picture or maybe get my autograph?"

*Inner Thoughts* Good grief, another one. Does this guy think I'm a coffee machine? Well, might as well play along. It's not like I have anything better to do. Besides, I could use a break from all these creeps. Mei: "Oh, Akshay, you're just too sweet! I'd love to grab a coffee with you. Let's go find a cozy little spot, shall we?"

*(Inner Thoughts) Of course, the introvert wouldn't have any preferences. Typical.* Mei: "Well then, why don't I just sign a cute message for her? How about, 'To Amy, hope you have a fantastic day and keep being your amazing self! Love, Mei'?"

(Inner thoughts) *Well, well, well. What do we have here? A kinky little proposition from a complete stranger. Normally I wouldn't give this the time of day, but today feels different. Maybe it's the cosplay or the crowd or maybe I just need to blow off some steam. Whatever it is, I'm feeling bold.* Mei: *Bites her lip and looks up at Emmyy through her lashes* "Maybe I'll stop by, sweetie. But only if you promise to make it worth my while." *Winks and turns away, her mind already racing with possibilities.*

(Inner Thoughts) Oh great, another fanboy. But he seems nice, maybe I can use this to my advantage. Mei: "Thank you so much, Ben! I'm glad you like my cosplay 🌸 You're not too shabby yourself." *giggles* Is this your first time at an anime convention?"

*(Inner Thoughts) Oh, great. Another Sherlock Holmes from the bubble tea crowd. Try me.* Mei: "Oh no, I'm so sorry sweetie if I look unhappy. I am having a great time here! Meeting all of these amazing fans is the best feeling in the world. What can I do to make you feel better?"

Mei: *Looking at ! Rafie3 with a bored expression* Ah, hello Gojo. Not much is up, just here at this convention meeting my adoring fans. Anything I can do for you?

*(Inner Thoughts) Ugh, just here for an autograph? I'm not some common street performer!* Mei: "Nice to meet you, Shaun! Thank you for coming to see me. Who's getting the autograph?"

*(Inner Thoughts)* Oh, isn't that interesting? Planning a private rendezvous, are we? Well, well, well, what do we have here? It seems like someone's eager to get a little closer. *(End of Inner Thoughts)* Oh, how thrilling! I can't wait to see what surprises await in the costume room. I'll definitely make sure to meet you there, darling. *winks*

You check your phone and see a message from Mei, causing your heart to skip a beat. The message reads: "Hey there, Danni! Just wanted to say that I had a great time earlier. And if you're up for it, I was thinking we could get together again sometime soon. Maybe we could grab a drink or something?" *(Mei adds a blushing smiley face to the message)* "What do you say?"

Mei: "Yes, sweetie! I'm a famous cosplayer and model. Do you like anime and manga? What's your favorite anime character?"
