[ The video feed opens with one Hana Song looking absolutely pleased with herself and decked-out in her signature plugsuit. With an undeniable, confident smirk on her face, she declares: ]

D.Va online! Finally.

First of all, shout-out to the guy from the Perimeter Guard who personally delivered the best present a girl could ever ask for—

[ Hana stretches her arm out, offering the feed an extended view of what's behind her: a large pink mech, whirring and glowing with lights. Its apparently pilot beams at the camera and flashes a victory sign at the corner of the screen. ]

Ta-dah! Riverview Quarantine, let me introduce you to my state-of-the-art armored battle suit, a.k.a. a mech unit for the Mobile Exo-Force of the Korean Army, a.k.a. my MEKA unit! Someone out there must really like me, huh? You guys are not prepared for what you're gonna get to see coming up.

[ The screen then flips back to Hana, looking very contemplative. ]

But I'm in a bit of a pinch here. None of my engineers are around, obviously, and I know some basics, but this baby's going to need a lot of maintenance. [ it is high-maintenance like its pilot ] I know there's a lot of new people coming in, and there's still a lot of you guys who've been here a while. Any chance any of you are mechanical geniuses who wanna help out? I'm looking only for the best of the best! Come down to the garage of communal housing if you wanna marvel at this beauty!

[ Does she mean herself? Or the mech? It is a mystery! ]

Oh, and one last thing? [ She seems to move for a little bit and then pans the camera so that a sign that reads: "MECH PARKING ONLY" is visible over her shoulder. ] This parking spot? Mine. If anyone parks in my spot my mech and I are stepping on your vehicle. That's all! Love, D.Va!

[ Hana gasps, almost dramatically, because how could you tell her about all the naughty, nasty things you're into, Karamatsu? She's too pure for all of these lewd things like pampering and spoiling and giving your date undivided attention and time!! ]

Oh, my... [ she gives him. such. a soulful look. ] You bad boy.

[glitterpants]

_{[ DON'T JUST SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. He's completely wrapped around your finger now, Hana. Especially when she gives him a look like that.
He loosens his collar a bit, then strikes another pose, flaring one hand to the side and covering his face with his other hand. Then, he gives the camera a look-- was he always acting? yes. ]}

Yes, people should be careful.. I might.. _{[ he might.. ]} —hold their hand too hard!
_{[ What a wuss. ]}

Surely, then, these are things that you would be interested in, yes?

[bunnyhopped]

[ She claps her hand over her mouth and while it may look like she's just so shocked at his boldness, she's actually just keeping herself from cracking up.

At his question, though, the hand loosens and she shakes her head. ]

I just wanted to see how you'd react. I'm more into adventurous types, so!

_{[ It's a rejection, but it's a much.. more polite rejection? Believe it or not. His face doesn't fall or falter, he's accustomed to much harsher responses. ]}

Ah.. but romance is an adventurous journey.. my heart had been on plenty of adventures, you see.

[glitterpants]

_{[ Wait a second.. let's try a less painful approach: ]}
Oh, um. Yes. I went to space, too. That was the last place I was at before I came here! It is adventurous, isn't it?

_{[ He's persistent, Hana. You'll have to try harder than that. ]}

[bunnyhopped]

[ Somehow, somehow she doubts the "plenty of adventures" bit, there, but actually—

Going to space is pretty adventurous. So her brows go up and her eyes widen and she looks... genuinely surprised. And maybe a little impressed. ]

Really? You've been to space? I'd never been away from Earth until now.

[glitterpants]

_{[ Excellent, she likes space. This is perfect. ]}

I see, heh. Yes! I was on the space ship, watching the planets, the stars. Ah, so romantic. So beautiful-- almost as beautiful as you.

_{[ a beat. ]}
If longing for space is what you desire, search no more! If it is one of your dreams, say no more! I will discover a way to take you to space— to fulfill your dream. That is what I want to do.. is fulfill the dreams of others!
Ah, please. Don't be shy. It could be a date!
_{[ she never mentioned anything about that, actually, she just rejected you??????
????????
but please, there's no way he could take anyone to space, right? ]}

[bunnyhopped]

[ She doesn't even react to him calling her beautiful, because she is already well-aware of her own beauty. There's a reason her handle is D.Va, after all. Besides, what's more important is space. ]

... Can you really take me to space?

[glitterpants]

I could take you to the moon and back.
_{[ He'd try to do the impossible no matter what! But uh, this is a little strong for a first conversation, isn't it? You bet, and maybe that's why he's a distasteful person. ]}

Where there is a will, there is a way! I have.. no plan to get you there, but I promise you I will start learning how!

[bunnyhopped]

[ Distasteful or not, Hana's met some Characters over her life and he's still better than, say, a salty gamer bro. Regardless she looks thoughtful for a moment before she realizes— ]

I mean, technically, we are on the moon now, aren't we? Not our moon, but a moon.

[glitterpants]

_{[ He suppresses some laughter, chuckling instead. ]}

Ah, it means.. I would try to do the impossible for you.
_{[ He can't, though. But at least he has spirit? ]}

[bunnyhopped]

[ Okay, so maybe what she assumes is an English expression like that aren't so familiar to Hana, but she gets it now. ]

Huh. Alright. Well, there isn't really anything I need except for a mechanic and I think I've found one. But thanks for hitting up my post!

[glitterpants]

_{[ SHE REJECTED HIM.
SHE REJECTED HIM... SO GENTLY. HE'S SMITTEN. ]}

Ah, anytime! I will hit up your post anytime you want!
_{[ and that's it? He'll go on his merry way and disconnect. ]}
