Day 137: Diana (Wonder Woman) - DCU - Everywhere!

[lassos]

[It's been quite a while since Diana has been here, and upon returning, she's surprised that she had forgotten. Even though her stay was brief, she hadn't imagined that she would forget the strange, colorless city. But it was easy to justify, because she was used to the wills of Gods—To her, it was clear that her original purpose for being here had been fulfilled, but she was needed again.

So throughout the day, you may see a statuesque woman around, wearing some star-spangled panties. But how strange that is of course doesn't seem to phase her...]

[A: After leaving the castle, Diana has arrived at her Hall to return to the familiar place first. She's found her room has changed (which is hardly a surprise), but otherwise, it's quite familiar. The faces are new, but everything else seems relatively unchanged. She might be in the lobby looking over her bracelet to learn what's been going on in her absence, or she might be in the kitchen making a modest vegetarian meal. Either way, she's hard to miss.

B: After hearing about recent events, however, she's out to get some information about this recent turn of events. She's mostly around the Sigyn district, though you might see her at the outskirts of others. And if you're too shy to approach Diana, that's alright! Since the Travelers stick out more in a crowd anyways, she just may approach you to question you about the Darkness event.

C: And finally, if you're a bit more inclined to fighting, you'll find Diana at the arena at the end of the day. She's training quite seriously on her own with a combination of her lasso, her bracelets and hand to hand, but if you're around, she will likely give you a smile and ask if you'd like to join or even spar. Just beware! Diana doesn't go easy on anyone.]

[Maya's been perched in the stands of the arena, nodachi across her shoulders with her arms draped over it in the epitome of a relaxation. But her eyes... they're watching Diana like a hawk, taking in everything about her as she trains.]

[lassos]

[Anyone tends to stand out in the stands since they're ordinarily so empty, but Diana had ignored the young woman's presence when she approached. Or, well, she wouldn't think of it as ignore so much as putting the conversation on a hold. She wanted to finish up this round before starting a conversation if at all possible. A faceless had been brave enough to spar with her, but it was really an unfair match. Diana outclassed the man in every way, finishing off the fight by tossing him easily over her shoulder to slam him into the ground.

But it's immediately after that she offers her hand for him to take with a warm smile. It was just a friendly competition between warriors, after all, so this was a chance for both of them to grow. He grinned as he took it, giving her a genial clap on the shoulder as he walked by. This much seems to surprise her, but she gives a little shrug.

After that, she glances up to her audience, nodding in her direction.]

Good evening. I apologize if you were waiting to speak with me—I wanted to finish up first.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

Not really. I found your style interesting.

[Maya made not move to leave the stands.]

I've not seen it before.

B!

[writeswrongs]

[A woman like that is hard to miss, especially when it's Wonder Woman. Castle just stared in awe for a moment. Since this is Asgard and not ComicCon, he was fairly sure that this woman was the real deal. And as attracted to statuesque brunettes as he is, he would definitely let her use the lasso on him. Castle cut through the crowd and walked along next to her. It was rare that a woman was taller than he was.]

You must be new.

[lassos]

[At the sudden conversation, Diana's response is of course to smile kindly. To his question, she gives a half nod.]

Relatively. I had a brief stay here roughly a few months ago, judging by how time has passed, but it seemed that the gods wished for my return.

[Her smile grows] Is it that obvious that I've just arrived?

[writeswrongs]

I haven't seen you before. Believe me, I would have noticed.

[He smiled back.]

You've been here before though? Gone and come back?

[That was interesting. He hadn't run into someone with that experience yet.]

C!

[integrous]

[ .. Honestly, Asahi wants to get a little stronger after everything that happened - watching someone die while not being able to do anything about it.. it was awful, especially for someone like her, and she blames it heavily on herself. That's why she's here at the arena, even though she's not training just yet.. she's just watching the others. Once Diana asks her though, she just lightly - and somewhat awkwardly, almost - shakes her head. ]

No, it's.. fine. I'm just watching, sorry.

[lassos]

[Diana nods, a deep dip of her head as if to indicate respect just as much as the acceptance of her answer.]

No apologies are necessary. You are welcome to watch.

[It doesn't take a big leap of logic on Diana's part to get close to the reasoning behind the girl behind here. On one hand, she has trouble imagining that watching another train is very interesting to anyone but an Amazon, and on the other, the girl's awkwardness tended to hint to it as well.] Are you planning to hone your skills, sister? If you are lost on where to start, I can provide assistance, though if I'm assuming, it is I who will apologize.

A!

[dreamsonwings]

[Sora was just getting off the steps and heading outside when she spots someone in the lobby. So it was that time again when new people came to the city?

And wasn't that woman here before? Does she remember being here last time?]

Diana-san?

[lassos]

[The voice is quite familiar, because despite the passage of time in Asgard, very little time had passed for Diana. She might as well have been in Asgard an hour ago for what her memory is saying, though it's clear that time has passed differently. Diana is comfortably seated on a couch, looking over posts on the bracelet as well as having a simple journal open with notes, and a few books gathered from the library. She looks up with a friendly smile, nodding.]

Hello, Sora.

[It's all she has to say, since she imagines Sora will want to direct the conversation herself.]

A

[burntviolet]

[ ... Now that's someone she didn't expect to see again. Granted, they only talked once through the network, and they never met face to face- but...

Hanako slowly approaches the woman. She was about to go out for the library as her usual, but she could... take some time to greet Diana again, although she's aware that the woman may not remember her. ]

May I... help you?

[lassos]

[Considering the passage of time has been very brief for Diana, she remembers and recognizes the voice after only a moment. There's not even a moment's pause for Hanako to be given a smile that seems suitable for an dear friend.]

Perhaps. I'm in the process of reorienting myself to this city... So there is much to learn.

[She nods slightly, since this is almost secondary to a reintroduction, as far as she's concerned.]

It's nice to meet you in person, Hanako.

HELLO BABY also this is A

[corks]

[Well, well, well, isn't this a familiar face? Smile widening, Jacob approaches her slowly, wondering if she even remembers him at all.]

Ah, you're back again? Welcome.

Long time, no see.

this hypothetical ship will sail this time okok

[lassos]

[She looks up from the journal she's jotting down notes in with a kind, warm smile]

Thank you. It has been some time since I was first here, but... I had very little perception of time passing, honesty. I'm trying to sort that part out and catch up.

[But she figures this is her work to do, so she moves on] Have you fared well?

I say B for a Bitty

[snugglesjugs]

[There's a child sitting under one of the trees in Sigyn district. He's has several books open and he's also writing something down in a journal. He might be a good source of information. OR she can just try figure out why this ten year boy is doing. It's a little odd for someone his age.]

[lassos]

You seem to be working hard, little one.

[From anyone else, it might sound condescending, but the warmth of Diana's tone and her smile makes it clear that she certainly doesn't mean it that way. She kneels to be closer to his height as well, since standing and looming over him seemed uncomfortable.]

Would you mind sparing me a few minutes of your time?

B

[peachbutt]

Hm? [Cheria wasn't what you would call shy but was content to go her own way before being approached. Of course, it's not like she minded either, and she greets the other woman with a smile.] Is there something I can help you with?

[lassos]

Yes. I'm seeking information about recent events, if you wouldn't mind.

[Diana glances around, since she had approached her sort of in the middle of the street, but then motions to a nearby cafe] We could sit over there, if you wouldn't mind? It won't take long, but I have a few things I would like clarification on.

B

[suppressthedark]

[A lot of Ichigo's friends were in Sigyn, so it wasn't unusual to see him in the district. However, the method he used to get around in the city was...well, it was different, to say the least.

What'd probably catch her attention is that the natives seem disturbed by his rooftop antics, loudly exclaiming to themselves when he gets close enough to the edge to be easily seen, or when he takes a leap across two houses. But when he's spotted, it's easy to track him-that bright hair of his makes him stand out like a beacon.

And right now, he's decided to stop to catch his breath. It'd be really easy to grab his attention if someone yelled up at him.]

[lassos]

[Young adults bounding around on the rooftops was hardly an unusual sight for her, so she really doesn't even spare it a thought as she walks outside. She doesn't yell, since she has no reason to, but in a moment where she thinks they make eye contact, she does give a friendly wave.]

B, if I'm not too late for this!

[redpaintednails]

[Mariko has decided to keep wandering outside the Freya district, since doing so lately had brought more than one surprise in the form of beautiful elves and meeting/befriending other girls. So exploring this world bit by bit was better than she thought it'd be, and seeing a woman this tall and beautiful seems to confirm it.]

Oh... [She's a little dumbfounded, but she then shakes her head. Gotta keep her cool!] You're new, aren't you?

absolutely not!!

[lassos]

[She smiles, used to the reaction]

In a sense. I have been here before, but I have just arrived for the second time, it would seem.

[And, thinking now is as good a time as any, she offers her hand to shake] My name is Diana. Sometimes I go by Wonder Woman, if you're familiar with that alias, but please, call me Diana.

[Day 144-ish?]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Assuming that you don't mind a time-skip and assuming that Diana has a reason to return to Sigyn, this is Conan, not entirely impressed that he missed an entire week of Asgard happenings. He catches a glimpse of a woman and pauses, trying to place her. Hang on a second -- isn't that ... ?]

Diana-san ... ?

[lassos]

[Not at all!! And at this time, Diana is reading through the posts on the network in the lobby, occasionally writing notes as she sees fit. But hearing her name called, she immediately looks up with a smile, not at all bothered to have her work interrupted.]

Hello, Conan.

[It's all that needs to be said for now, since she's quickly realized that letting those people she had met before know that she still retains her memories of her previous stay was important.]
