I'm not much of a complainer. Much more... a man of action. [ he motions with his hand to mime like a name on a marquee. ]

[amazonfresh]

And tell me, what manner of action are you a man of?

[Because this doesn't look very... active.]

[speedboat]

I'm in the world-saving business. I'm sure you've heard of that. [ even if right now he definitely doesn't look heroic how observant of u!! ]

[amazonfresh]

I have heard of saving the world, but I have not heard of you.

[Not heroic at all, though she doesn't judge based on appearances. His actions on the other hand...]

[speedboat]

Don't fret the megillah, sugar. I'm accustomed to the many-times-many-worlds shuffle by now. If you were from my world you would definitely -- probably -- know who I am. Though maybe not the world-saving part. No one likes a braggart. [ a flash of a grin. ] Howard Stark.

[amazonfresh]

You speak in circles, Howard Stark. Like someone who does not intend to give a straight answer.

[That does not mean she is not interested, but it does make her cautious.]

I am Diana of Themyscira.

[speedboat]

What's the fun in straight when there are so many other patterns? [ welp ]

How very lovely to... meet you over video, Diana. [ he's trying okay he doesn't want her to give up on him yet. ] Tell me, new friend, what or who is "The Myskeera?" Hmm.

[amazonfresh]

Themyscira is the island of the Amazons. Ruled by my mother Queen Hippolyta, it has been hidden from the world of men by the gods.

[Is that dramatic? Diana doesn't give any indication it's strange to her.]

[speedboat]

Wow. [ just when he thought he'd heard it all the last time he was here... ] Sounds like a great pitch for a picture. I bet it would sell the box office right out.

[amazonfresh]

A what? [All of those words make sense individually, but in this particular order, they're meaningless.] I don't understand. How do you pitch for a picture?

[speedboat]

A movie, dollface. Which you'd be great in by the way. Tell me more about Themyscria, I think we're onto something big.

[amazonfresh]

[That doesn't make any more sense to Diana than before, her brows twitching together, but she'll leave it at that.]

I have told you about it. It is the home of the Amazons. We retreated there after Ares killed the other gods, all save Zeus who used his power to hide us until the world needed us again.

[speedboat]

This is good stuff, I'm making mental notes. [ there's a thoughtful pause here. ] How long have you been here, Diana?

[amazonfresh]

Not long. And only the once.

[A pause, then a little shake of her head.]

This is all very new to me.

[speedboat]

Then you should stick with me, Diana of the Myscira. This is old hat by now, I could show you the ropes.

[amazonfresh]

I assure you I can handle ropes just fine on my own.
