exsilium | [video]

[ The video clicks in and Dinah is sitting comfortably inside some building, munching a hotdog. ]

Someone please tell me there are cheeseburgers in this watery hellhole. Mr. Pinkerman, I think I at least found a temporal alternative.

[ You just give her a moment to finish devouring the hot dog. Once she’s done, she’s ready to get down to business. ]

Oooookay, so I got the You’ve Been Chosen! Tour, saw the sights, got myself soaked wet and found the dirtiest, smelliest and cheapest hot dog stall that has ever been put in a corner. Exsilium, huh?

[ She shrugs, her tone casual, but those who know her might notice the tension in her shoulders and the sharpness in her eyes. ]

Sure beats Apokolips any given day in my list of worlds to suddenly get zapped into. I mean, if you can work out the plumbing issue… [ She points at the rain that can be seen in the window behind her. ] It would be great, really.

Anyway, I’m not much into whining. Name’s Dinah, Dinah Lance, and if you’ve seen a trigger happy…uh, blonde, do let me know. Babs, Helena, Zinda, if you’re hearing this, I’m starving, so be the friends you’re supposed to be and get me something to eat.

[Here, have a slightly confused looking young Victorian woman, Dinah.]

You've been somewhere named 'apocalypse?'

[ Sure, why not? ]

Close, but not quite. Of maybe that's what they wanted to call it but someone over there has lousy grammar.

[She's not quite sure what to make of that, but alright...]

Why would anyone ever want to name a place that?

Well, for starters, it's a pretty awful and dangerous place, so it kind of has a ring to it?

[ She shrugs. ]

Kind of your expected name for the planet of one of the baddest bad guys ever.

[Paaaaaaause.]

You've been to another planet?!

Only briefly and against my will?

Oh...but still, another world!

That's quite amazing. Other planets are just theoretical where I come from. I mean, aside from the nine we know about, of course.

I know, it's pretty interesting.

Technology is kinda crazy in my world, so I guess some people get to do all kinds of awesome stuff like that. I would rather stick to Earth though. I like it here.

I...suppose I'd never thought about it that way. I always just wanted to go and see everything. Even if it was awful.
