( diana is seated at one of the consoles in a café when the video feed begins. it seems she’s already gone a bit native—there’s a kedan-style cloak draped around her shoulders, apparently all she needs to keep warm. still, the glint of gold from her armor is perfectly visible, as is the tiara set amongst her dark curls. she’s making no pretense of who she is, should anyone be able to recognize her.

she lifts a hand in simple greeting, smiling. she’s perfectly calm, though anyone who knows her well can probably sense just a bit of tension in the set of her shoulders, the way her eyes are focused. )

There’s many of you here that I know. And many more that I do not.

My name is Diana, and while I’m newly arrived I believe I’ve gotten most of the basics of the situation. It seems you’ve all been busy, recently.

( there’s nothing mocking about her words, and her smile is genuine and honest. she pauses, for a moment, as though to give her audience a breather. then, she continues— )

I’m sure there’s a lot to be done, and I’m willing to offer my assistance to anyone who should need it. But first, I would like to be better acquainted with all of you. If we’ve met before, I’m sure you’ll come and say hello. And if we haven’t, it’s never too soon for introductions.

( both before and after this broadcast and subsequent conversations, diana will be flying over the same café. in effect, she’s using herself as a beacon. feel free to run into her in person if you’d prefer. )

(The second she sees yet another familiar face, a smartass quip is already at the tip of her tongue, something like "abaout time you show up again, princess". But "newly arrived". It's not the Diana from before. Great. She gets to start all over again.

When she replies, her face looks pretty much bored.) Welcome to the turtle, princess. (She points to her face, still looking unamused.) Do you know who I am?

_{( she has a feeling something's off before she even opens her mouth. but nevertheless, she asks: )} Hawkwoman?

(It's been seven months, at this point Shayera doesn't want to bother with the whole "don't call me Hawkgirl/woman/whatever".) Just call me Shayera. You must be from the same universe as most of the other heroes around here. (And here's Shayera, the outlier.)
