i ✪ video

( 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. )

[She grins at this, as if Diana had stumbled upon some kind of private joke. Complete with a good-natured roll of the eyes.]

Neither. We don't have a name. Never did. We're just the Team.

[She shrugs nonchalantly, having very little of an opinion in that regard.]

Well, the public isn't exactly supposed to know about us. I mean, that's pretty pointless here, since it seems like all the counterparts from your world went on a reality show, of all things. [Oh, yes. Bart and Tim told her ALL about "Mister Fantastic". SIGH.] I wouldn't've known about it either, if dad hadn't brought me for training with Black Canary that one time.

[A nod] Mm-hmm. By about...ten years, I think? Give or take.

But I try not to hold that against her.
backwordscompatible: (I'll catch up)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-19 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
["Old enough to drink" is relative. Ask her about the time she and Korra got plastered together at a local bar.]

There's Artemis. Miss Martian. Superboy. Aqualad, who's here in Keelai with me. And... [At this point, her smile become a little more forced and a little sadder] Kid Flash and Robin. They were here. Now they're not.

No. People just disappear, without warning.

Kid Flash came and went a few times, but the last was a while ago. And Robin...I woke up one morning and saw the kedan moving this things out of his room. That's how you know people are gone for good.
backwordscompatible: (innocent smile)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-20 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Friends...boyfriend

[She straightens a little in her seat, just as the waiter returns with Diana's drink. A faint smile appears. Only slightly forced.]

On the plus side, you should see the ones I've been able to collect since I've been here.

[So of course nobody was surprised.]

Except when he glows green.
backwordscompatible: (Explaining)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-21 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
And what about you?

Much as I'd love to make this conversation all about me-- [No, really, she would] --I'm dying to know what you think about our humble a-Turtle here. Surprises and all.

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-22 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[Her eyes drifted upward, taking in the sight of blue eyes and sparse, fluffy clouds. White, of course. Not a hint of rain or snow to be found.]

You have a point. Manhattan can be pretty...sometimes...but it's definitely got nothing on Keelai in that sense.

Plus, I never got to live in a giant treehouse there.
backwordscompatible: (blew up the kitchen)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-22 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Really? They don't have treehouses in your world?

[She's not just talking about Themyscira]

I wouldn't exactly call it the most popular of styles, but half the kids I knew in school had one of those in their backyards. Or knew somebody who did.

Come to think of it...where did you say they put you again? What sector?
backwordscompatible: (proud)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-22 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is she not surprised the likes of Kon and Bart had a treehouse for a headquarters?]

Oh, cool. So we'll get to be neighbors.

It's actually a lot better than you'd think. My neighbor and I use our windows to visit each other, since it takes less time to climb over on the branches than to go around the normal way. [Come to think of it, window visitations in general were far more common than the 'normal' way]
backwordscompatible: (Be as -chalant- as you like)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-01-22 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get those too.

Though at least they have the common decency to bring pie.

[Apple pie, to be specific.]
