saffron wind

Not everyone walks calmly into the streets of the Nexus. Not everyone is so distracted as to not see when the stones shift and the shops and buildings aren’t quite the same. She’s staring down into a sketchbook in her hands and muttering to herself for a fair distance before it even occurs to her to look up. Light brown eyes peer out from a mess of dark curls pinned up around her shoulders. She purses her lips in some amount of confusion and looks to her left, her right, and finally turns about in a small circle.

This stocky stranger traces her gaze over the various buildings as she slowly closes the sketchbook and returns it to a satchel strung across her shoulder by a long strap. After a moment of taking in her surroundings, she nods quietly and sighs. She shifts two things strapped across her back and shoulders: a satchel bag and a large pole with one end wrapped up in cloth. In less than a minute, she has the bag slung around her shoulders and over her back in the style of a backpack. The pole finds it’s way into her hands, the covered end pointing upward as she turns in a slow circle.

“This is…different.” Her voice is soft and deep, but quickly taking on a worried tone. The pole rests in the crook of one arm as she gathers up her skirt to tie off around her waist. Her leather sandals gently hug her all the way up to her knees. “All right, I’ll bite. Who did I offend this time?”

"Sounds like your family is a bit like mine." She grinned a bit at that. "And the weapon, if I were back home I'd ask if you were an Amazon. Only other warriors I know that use weapons like that are assassins, or Atlantian. You don't give the vibe of the others."

Ray's grip was rougher than it looked as well, years of rock climbing, at least that is what she would tell others. "Yeah, the local hero is kinda themed that way." Hey, she knows they're harmless, she's named several in the cave when it comes down to it. "I don't think he would be the vampire type, though he likes to put fear into the bad guys. Not sure if he does that for most of them." But hey Batman did humor her and her siblings from the get go with using Robin as their code name.

"Seems a hard life." Rayan is again reminded of the Amazons though. "Have to love how the older generation tends to forget us younger ones bear the weight of their wars." She wears gloves when in costume, but around here? Well since the race, she's been finding better perches, freehand climbing is more fun than taking stairs to a roof.

Rayan gives a small laugh. "Probably the whole fury suit. I've been lucky enough not to have to be rescued by him." Okay a lie, but she isn't going to change the story on that. Though her free hand does go to her pocket where one of those batarangs are waiting, as well as a smoke bomb and a flash bang. Though the three are in her pocket more as a safety blanket than to use.

"Only some. I mean Gotham, is kinda a cesspool most days." She was half kidding still, but she's seen enough of the dark side of the city that on good days it's hard to see the light.

This hobbitses isn't someone who should be messed with, but she likes playing harmless. "Oh god... I thought comics about Superman and Green Lantern we're bad enough. Bats too? Wonder if Harley knows about them. She and Ivy are wondering around at times too." She won't go into her brothers... Or her boyfriend.

Rayan bit her lip a little, how the hell did Dick handle it. Oh right he sent Tim to Bruce to deal with the situation. And yeah, Rayan isn't sending anyone to Bruce.

"I'm a bird. My original world I was the first. But where I am now... more like the third, but I don't go by Robin there." She chuckled. "So far I've only seen Harls and Pamela. I could go without meeting any of the others here. And seriously I'm still trying to figure out if you are an Amazonian or not." Hey she figures as long as her brothers don't show up, or heaven forbid any of the rogues or Bruce and Alfred she's good. Even on her world she spends more time with Roy in Star City anyway. That is when she isn't needed to keep Dick and Bruce from having a pissing contest, or just knocking sense into Jason.

"Oh? Like making swords and stuff? Because that seriously is cool." Rayan had learned some sword skills, nothing she'd use in a fight, but it make her a little different than her counterpart. "And still not convincing me other wise. They have blacksmiths on the isle." Donna and Diana both had told her that much.

"Those two would be fun, it's some of the others that I'd steer clear of from my world. Joker, unfortunately Bats has banned me from face punching that asshole."

"Diana taught me a little with a sword. I asked her to. She makes it look so easy, and mine was a wooden practice blade. Until I'm better I'll stick with my escrima."

She laughs a little. "Joker isn't the worst in town. But... Well the one in the town I'm now in is a bit less sadistic. It's the damn scarecrow I don't deal with well."

"Yeah, I'm trying to ween myself away from that since it is my male counterpart's weapon of choice." She chuckled a little. "Though my baby brother likes his katana, another likes a bo staff. I'm starting to wonder if I should take up my boyfriend's offer to learn how to use a bow. I won't pick up guns after all. I may be different from Richard, but NOT that different."

"The one that was on my original world, tested his toxin on me first. So, I'm usually kept away from him at the new one."

"Yeah, would be tempted, if it wasn't my boyfriend's toy of choice." She chuckled at that. "And I think he'd be pissed if I turned out to be a better archer than he is." And like hell she'd make her favorite red-head upset. "Gloves get in the way," She rubbed her fingertips together. "I get nervous if I can't feel what I'm grabbing for while climbing."

"My counterpart can push through it. And well, it gets messy when I get scared. So it's safer for me to stay back until given the all clear."
