Here, have a few helpful scenarios for test-driving. Feel free to ignore them and make your own.

I.
Wherever you were, you aren't any longer. You took a turn, a step, blinked and you're somewhere else entirely. A long dusty road leads from nowhere to an oasis (or a nightmare, depending on your taste) of pink and bright light in the midst of the scrub desert and there's nothing and no one else in sight. If you linger long enough on the road, one of the Inn's residents will find you, but you feel noticeably drawn to come inside.

The pink and gold lobby looks like a bunny puked Easter everywhere, and the guy at the reservation desk looks a sort of silly putty shade of pinkish grey. He knows you by name and has a room reserved for you, but other than offering you fresh towels, that's all he has to say. Chances are, one of the residents will intercept you before you talk to Darryl the shade. They'll give you a guest basket with toiletries and chocolates and whatever else Caroline thinks a newcomer needs, and explain (nicely) that you're stuck here, but hey, it's not so bad. It's pretty safe, anyway. At least... so far.

II.
The red, gold and gaudy pink of the Copper Cafe overflows with residents. It's morning, the one and only time nearly everyone finds themselves in the same space for a short window before going about their day. The scent of fresh coffee laces the air, mingling with the buttery aroma of fresh baked pastry. The shade who serves as a cook, Kahni, awaits any orders that include chicken (chicken, not eggs), and Carlos has staffed one of the residents who can cook to make anything else you'd like. Kitty's pouring drinks -- no reason not to drink bloody maries or mimosas on your permanent holiday. Grab a spot at the counter or take a seat at an empty table, now that you're a resident too, there's no better way to start your day.

III. Network

Re: Diana/Wonder Woman | DCU

"Everyone at home knows who you are. You, Superman and Batman. The big three." Steph paused though, to consider what Wonder Woman (and she was going to have a hard time remembering to call her anything else) had said. "I guess it's possible that you're from another Earth that's like mine but not exactly mine. In my world, everyone knows the Justice League. You've saved the world a million times. You're an ambassador."

She'd murdered Maxwell Lord to free Superman and save Batman.

Okay, that wasn't common knowledge. But Stephanie hadn't worked with Oracle for a year for nothing.

"The Justice League." She repeated with a faint smile. It seems Bruce's idea wasn't entirely folly. "We've only managed to save the world once so far, at least when I'm from. I'd say I'm happy to hear we continue to help, but then I'd be saying I'm happy there was need of us."

Diana regarded Stephanie carefully.

"You're a fighter, yes?" She asked with confidence.

Stephanie hesitated, glanced around to see if anyone was in earshot. She wasn't concerned about telling Wonder Woman, of all people, who she was. But the need for secrecy had been firmly - and lethally - drilled into her. "Yes. I used to work with Batman a little. A few years ago."

Diana regarded Stephanie again with the new information.

"I have to admit, I'm glad to hear that we recruited more women to fight alongside us." Diana remarked.

She was of the opinion women were sometimes more valuable on the battlefield because men seemed to underestimate them.

Re: Diana/Wonder Woman | DCU

Steph laughed and winced at the same time. "Oh, I wasn't recruited. In fact, I was fired a whole bunch of times. But I'm bad at taking no for an answer."

Re: Diana/Wonder Woman | DCU

"Sounds like someone else I am familiar with," She said with a hint of a smile. Bruce is more stubborn than he truly realizes. . "Being fired doesn't always mean you're bad at your job. It just means you might have to find your own path."
