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. )

[He nods] And they were nice to us, as well. They have us a home and food even when we're basically invading their homeland and they have no saying on the matter.

I can't blame them for being reluctant to see us steal their resources. [Kal is always willing to adapt to native's costumes, and accept their laws and culture. But the layer of misplaced guilt has also made him be more ready to accept the Kedan's attitude, even when they aren't the most friendly.]

That's the angle most people have been going for, but it's hard considering how much they are giving us to begin with. But since we were brought here to stop a war our best bet would be to do just that.

One of us foreigners actually murdered the last Emperor, our best chance at dealing with the menace magically. So, honestly we're kind of going backwards.

He was brought to justice, and the Emperor had him killed. He's assured us if he comes back again he will do the same.

That's because when we're brought back it isn't really us. Have you been told what the current theory about the cloning is?
andaway: ([Smile] we'll be counting stars)

[A soft chuckle. Speedsters...]

We think our minds are ours, that our... energy, or soul or whatever you wish to call it was pulled from our world at the same time we were cloned. Said cloned bodies were used to host the energy, and that's why we have the same memories.

I'm telling the truth, but I don't mind you testing it. [Because he knows the moment Diana thinks he isn't himself and he's lying he'll have the lasso on him anyway. Might as well give her permission and do it the right way.]

We agree on that point. So far, the only consequence that has been found is our bodies- they are apparently destined to degrade.

We don't know. We just- disappear, and somehow the Kedan know and they clean up wherever we were living.

But we think the spirit simply goes back home, picking up where we left of. And so far everything tells us we don't really keep our memories of this place.
andaway: ([Frown])

So far no one seems to have any consequences from coming here. Bruce is from my future, and nothing that happened here seems to have changed anything.
