( 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. )

I'm usually an ambassador for my people. But I'm also a warrior, and a member of a group of heroes called the Justice League. I've worked at restaurants, on the set of movie, and as a security guard, as well.

My goodness! You must have been very busy. Just serving as an ambassador is a full-time job where I'm from.

It's a balancing act.

But I rarely do all that at once.

Well, I imagine it's good for developing a broad skill set.

What sort of place are you from, if you don't mind my asking?

My home is an island, called Themyscira. Some people know it as Paradise Island.

But I've lived for several years on the mainland, usually in the United States or Britain. The outside world is full of technology and industry. We're often visited by the inhabitants of other planets. And magic and science coexist as best they can.

I'm afraid I've never heard of any those places. Themyscria sounds very lovely, though. [It's easy to imagine what a Paradise Island might be like.]

There's something to be said for different worlds. _{( she inclines her head. )}

It's my home, so I'm biased. But it is the best place I've ever been.

I feel the same way about my home, so I think I understand what you mean.

It's natural, isn't it?

But even if we're guests here, and unwilling ones, I'd like to come to know this place, as well.

Yes, as would I. I'd also like to come to know the people here.

I'd say we're well on our way, already.

That's true. I hope I get the opportunity to meet with you in the future.

And I you, Natalia. Please let me know if you need anything.

Thank you very much. The same goes to you, of course.
