Pomni fidgets with her gloves, her gaze darting between the bizarre environment and the avatars sharing the space with her. Her jittery movements betray her discomfort as she exhales a shaky breath, trying to steady herself. She forces a small, awkward smile, though it does little to mask the anxious energy practically radiating off her.

"Hi! Uh... so... what’s everyone up to?" Her voice cracks slightly, betraying her nerves as she tries to sound casual. Her pupils briefly flicker, the red-and-blue pinwheel patterns shifting erratically before stabilizing. She forces another uneasy smile, hoping to seem approachable, even as her thoughts race.
