Characters: Diana of Themyscira & anyone!
Date: 8/7
Location: Earth Sector, Turtle's head
Situation: After settling down for a bit, Diana needs to get some fresh air and decides to explore her surroundings
Warnings/Rating: None/Will add if necessary

Honestly, she could've reacted better to the situation. That was the first thing that occurred to her when she had finally settled down in her provided suite. She had been taught as a child to expect the worst, that things will not always go as you expect, but to be told that you were to be stuck in an unknown dimension until you wake? That wasn't very promising. If it was so easy to slip in here just by sleeping at night, it was going to be a problem when she gets back.

When, because she thinks it's possible, but right now she's not sure how. It was a wonder the locals were initially angry with her too for lashing out. She could've, should've, handled that more diplomatically. She would in most situations, and had she been in a dangerous fight maybe she would've accepted it with more grace, but her temper got the best of her and it was only when the explanations started that she settled. Uneasy, but on the bright side she had not attacked anyone. She was still in control of that.

Still, that didn't make her feel better about being here. Even if they assured her time does not pass the same way here as they did back home, she still worried about Steve, about her mother. They would definitely worry, and she didn't even get the chance to assure them she will be fine.

It takes her a few hours before she convinces herself to walk. A few hours of meditating, remembering the teachings of her mother on how to reign in her temper, before she manages to calm herself down. Enough, at least, to investigate the land to which she was brought into. She had noticed the computer on the side, found no reason to use it for now, and settled on moving about and trying to find clothes, at least. All she had was her armour, which she was proud of, but she remembers the need to not draw attention to herself here. Steve taught her the importance of anonymity and blending in to a culture she had not been used to, and while she wasn't 100% okay with it, she understood the importance enough to let it be. Besides, it kept people from flocking her, and that was good enough for now.

So she moves about the Earth sector, at awe at the sight but also a bit too melancholic to full appreciate it. Occasionally, she can be found checking local wares halfheartedly, sometimes she's talking to the local children to ask for directions. One time she can be found sitting in a tree just watching people. This happens for the whole afternoon, as she doesn't venture to the other cities first until she's satisfied her curiosity here.

At the end of her exploration, she can be found sitting over at the head, overlooking the sea. She's less melancholic at this point, but still wistful. It would be nearing night when that happens, but she wouldn't mind conversation now.

Oh. Oh, he's done it now. Shayera smirks as she slowly turns to face him, holding up one finger to Diana as a form of asking her to wait.

"I'll get right back to you on that, Diana." But for now, she gives Kyle a punch square in the jaw, though not too hard. Right after that, she tackles him to the ground for a little playful wrestling. Shayera doesn't want to hurt him, just mess around a little and have some fun. This is their way of doing it, and she loves him for it.

Utterly delighted, he wrestles until she's pinned him, then he laughs.

'Okay! Okay! Uncle!'

He waits for her to release the grip, and then pull him up (because that's how it is), and he dusts himself, running a hand through his hair, his green ring standing out against the black.

You two are five years old. She just waits patiently as they start wrestling, crossing her arms as she watches them like well-- a mother watching her kids, or an older sister pondering how to control her siblings but not quite meaning it. It was cute, some semblance of normalcy that you don't see in adults often. She sees it more with children, at least.

"Didn't put up much of a fight there, did you?" Well, playful and all. "I'll take that as a yes on the siblings."

She pulls him up with a satisfied grin on her face, dusting herself off before turning to Diana.

"Are you kidding? I can beat him from here to the moon." Not really, considering no one really wants to fully kick the other's ass when it's just for play and fun. She pulls Kyle close, wrapping an arm around his shoulders with a grin.

"Yeah, this idiot is my little brother." But now this gives her a good idea. There's a glint in her eye, turning to Kyle again with a smirk that means nothing but trouble.

'Please. You wouldn't last ten seconds with the gloves off.' He teases back just as easily, and he leans in. Her half-hugs and punches to the shoulder are affection, and he's always been extremely tactile.

At her smirk, he returns the glint, knowing exactly what it means. Turning back to Diana, he yells, 'Think fast!' before he and Shayera lunge at her.

Oh great gods above what are these two--

Diana manages not to react reflexively in tossing someone over her shoulder when they lunge, managing only enough to step back before she lets out an 'oof!' and crashes to the ground in surprise. A part of her was aware that this was just playing, which was the only reason she didn't treat it as a threat from two practically strangers, but the surprised yelp she makes was still embarrassing as they tumble down.

It's called having fun, Diana, you should try it sometime.

Shayera can only raise her eyebrows in surprise once that yelp comes out, and there's an awfully smug grin on her face. Hearing the princess yelp like that? Definitely one of her favorite moments so far.

"Never heard you make a sound that embarrassing before, Princess. One of your less graceful moments, hm?" Definitely going to remember it. And possibly smirk.

He's surprised when she doesn't make a move to respond to the attack, but supposes it's all for the best, really. An Amazon, even one not enraged, could still break a lot of his bones without even trying.

It's funny how he's sometimes just not conscious of that fact. Maybe part of him did think he was a metahuman. He'd been using the ring long enough, anyway.

Instead, he just smirks and incredulously remarks, 'Oof?'

Diana gives them both a look at that, frowning for a moment as if she was actually upset. 'As if' being the keyword at that. It takes her a few seconds, voice low and eyes narrowed, before she speaks again.

"Oh, you are getting it now."

And her demeanor breaks. The twinkle in her eye is obvious as she gets her bearings, and while they were normally heavy on their own against a normal person, she's not normal. With as much strength as she could muster without actually intending to hurt, she bends one knee to help stabilize her position and goes to aim for flipping one of them off. Whoever is closer and easier to move in the few seconds she calculated. Flip them off and under her if she could. If successful, she'll be taking that opportunity to pin one of them down, fingers moving for a tickle attack.

Who says she can't have fun?

Shayera can only smirk as Diana chooses to join them in play fighting. And, well, maneuvering herself just so she won't be flipped. She'll leave that fun for Kyle, since Shayera has a distinct lack of him in embarrassing situations such as this. Because really, teasing him that he got pinned and tickled by an Amazon? That'll last her for weeks.

"So the Princess can have fun."

It's his turn to yelp, 'Oof!' as he struggles (unsuccessfully), and resists being pinned (also unsuccessfully). He's exceptionally happy that she's joined in, but rather annoyed with Shayera that she's stepped aside and let him take the brunt of Diana's attack.

He's also very ticklish.

"Don't tell me you intend to just stand and watch." Come on, Shayera. She grins mischievously at Kyle, poking and prodding at his sides to see which are the more ticklish spots. Things to remember next time this happens.

... Diana is inviting her to have fun with her. Wow. This is definitely going to take some getting used to. Either way, she cracks her knuckles (don't worry, it's just a joke) and sits down next to her to tickle the ever-loving stuff out of her little brother. She likes you, Kyle, but repairing her relationship with Diana sounds like a much better idea than sitting this one out.

That, and she just really wants to tickle you.

In between being tickled to death, he gasps, 'Both. Of. You. Are. Going. To. Regret. This!'

And tries to not to giggle too much because, according to his luck, they're hitting the spots where he's most sensitive. He shoots Shayera an extra-annoyed glare which isn't quite one at all because the rest of him is twisted up with helpless laughter.

It's okay, Kyle. She has some mercy. After all, there were two people who were at fault for her undignified yelp. When Shayera manages to be distracted in her pursuit of who can make Kyle laugh more, Diana will sneakily move one of her arms behind Shayera for a ninja attack.

Tag, you're it. Guess who her next target is, Shayera? You're not getting away that easily.

"Oh, what are you going to do, carry our shopping bags?" You sadly don't worry your sister in the slightest, Kyle. Right now, she thinks that hand behind her is more of a threat than you are. But unlike you losers, Shayera manages to stifle her own yelp of surprise.

"You're gonna get it now." Which means Kyle is being abandoned for the moment, and Shayera turns to Diana to tackle her in return.

'I wou--' And then Diana goes for Shayera instead and Kyle blinks, before grinning wickedly.

'Payback works really quick these days.' And he joins in, because he might as well find out how ticklish Shayera is, too.

She's laughing, not that loudly, but she is. Either way, considering there's two of them now ganging up on Shayera, she considers this a good enough payback for tackling her like that.

"Agreed--" She says in between laughter. "Not-- quite how I expected--- my first day to occur."

Please, Shayera can take the two of you with no problem whatsoever. Except that she's starting laughing so hard, she's red in the face. Damn you, little brother!

"I sure hope that's not a sign of disappointment, Diana." Because as much as Shayera never thought she'd say it, she had fun with Diana.

Is it even possible to be worn out from tickling? Kyle gets there, and he collapses on the ground, laughing helplessly. It's been a good day, despite the look Shayera was giving him earlier. Sure, he hero-worships Diana. She was the first one to take him seriously, and give him a chance. She deserved all of his respect and loyalty.

Diana eventually concedes as well, comfortable enough in her position despite not being exhausted from the laughter just yet. It made her feel better, and for a moment she forgot just how far she was from home.

"On the contrary, I believe a rematch is in order in the future." She then peeks over at Kyle, amused. "Are you all right?"

"I'll be holding you to that." Shayera leans back on her hands, cheeks almost aching from smiling and laughing so much. Damn, when was the last time she had this much fun.

"Oh, don't worry about him. He's probably just overwhelmed at meeting his hero-crush again." The teasing tone says there's no hard feelings here, Kyle.

He's about to say he's fine, he really enjoy himself, but his face goes red when Shayera speaks.

'I do not have a crush on her!' A pause, and he looks at Diana, sheepishly. 'No offence.'

... Well, that was new. Certainly intriguing how he reacted to that.

"None taken. Though I did not realize I would have quite an admirer." Teasing, of course, before she looks at them both. "So, do I consider this your normal greeting?"

"Mm-hm, sure." She rests her chin in her palm smirking at him with a certain sense of amusement.

"... I think it might be. Kyle did start a fight with me when we first met." Ah, good times, when they were trying to knock each other's brains out.
