[From the moment the feed began, Zatanna's surroundings were a little more visible than usual. The Welcome Center, with her leaning slightly back. Clearly prepared to get comfortable if necessary. As if she planned on sitting there for a while.]

Hey, everyone.

[And to start, she waved at the camera. Master of showmanship, this one.]

Okay, so, most of you probably at least recognize my face by now. Because if not, I'm so not doing my job properly.

I'm Zatanna. I run the Welcome Center, and...well, let's just say there's a reason for that. I've kind of been here a while. Like, a really long while. Including that year we all spent in the Dreaming Realm...probably more than five years by now. Man, time sure does fly when you adjust to your kidnapping, huh?

[Jokes aside...]

A lot's happened in that time. I mean, we're talking everything from zombies to ghost possessions to baby turtles dream-hopping to people's powers getting all messed up. We used to have Emperors, you know. Like an actual monarchy. Oh, and that whole thing with the shell starting to glow? Yeah, that's definitely not new, though I haven't seen it since Ast--I mean, the Great Turtle was busy not being in a coma.

So, yeah, I guess if anybody has any questions on that sort of thing, I'm here to answer them as best as I can. I mean, I figured, share the wealth, you know? Since you all deserve to know what kind of place you were brought to, and how this whole thing all started in the first place.

((ooc: As I mentioned here, I did recently put together a basic list of plot-relevant events of the past for newcomers to check out. But here's a chance for your characters to get in on the story IC. Not ALL of it, of course, and these stories will be told from Zatanna's IC perspective, which can sometimes be a bit misleading or even missing information...but fellow Turtle Veterans are also welcome to join in on conversations. Mix and mingle and possibly threadjack at will!))

[ dryly: ] Only someone uncreative would be offering to do both. Get someone else to write it down while you go over it all.

Is that an offer?

It might be, but I'd want something in return.

...I'm listening.

[Half because she was curious as to what he would try to ask for.]

A magic lesson.

[Hesitation, on her end, in the form of silence. But not necessarily for the usual reasons.]

I can...try.

But, see, the thing is...most of what I learned...it's pretty specific to my family's bloodline. I can't guarantee it would work for anyone else.

I'm not about to hold it against you if it's unsuccessful. It's merely a curiosity I had, stemmed from boredom.

[No small relief there. He might even hear her sigh.]

In that case...yeah, sure, why not?

[Not the private family secrets, of course, but she could give him a few tips on the basics.]

It'll be fun.

Maybe I'll even return the favour.

[ And maybe he's curious to see what Shadow magic makes of a different type of mage. ]

Cool.

I'm definitely up for that.

[And see if her unique family's style would play a factor in...whatever it was he'd attempt to show her. Assuming it would work for her at all. Which she was decently sure it would, because magic was magic and it only came down to whether someone was capable. Which she was.]
