≛ （ ＶＩＤＥＯ ）
[ on what must be one of the first days of relative peace, a feed opens to present a newcomer. Leia is dressed as she normally would, all in white, collar high. The clothes she came with have been tossed away but there is nothing she can do about the ugly bruise on her neck, circular, red. it would turn to purple in a few days and is a dead giveaway for a collar of metal that bit into her skin until very recently.
her palms tell a story too, skin peeling at places, red and irritated from when she pulled on metal. However, it'd be difficult to pass her for the slave girl whose part she'd been forced to play. There's an air of authority to her even now.
Oh, and there's the blaster she tucks just beneath her belt, a touch of black on an otherwise white palette. ]
Well, this is rich.
[ biting with just a hint of sass but then, she seems to realize her message is finally being sent. ]
I see no practical reason for so much technology when we all live in the same cell.
[ this is what she calls this, a cell. A prison is a prison, vast as it may be. ]
But if you hear my message, know I mean you no harm. I understand I've come in a time of great peril [ somehow, she senses it in the very air around the halls ]. My own world is in great peril as well, it is urgent that they'll receive any help available if they're to see our mission done.
[ a beat. ]
We share the same predicament, I ask that we share information as well. If there is anything worth knowing about this system, I'd hear it and if any assistance is needed, I will supply.

video.
For example, it archives everything the residents of Wonderland choose to publish openly, which can be an arsenal of information of its own.
There are times when our own surroundings will turn against us, and using these devices to find others can be useful, too. I wouldn't want to repeat any information that's already been given to you—has anyone mentioned the Events?
video.
[ she's only not learning it all, the different features and options. it has its advantages, Leia has to admit. the rebels could have done so much with such options for immediate communication. ]
You mean the monthly attempts of the place to kill us all? I've heard about it.
video.
( it's been useful to iris, in particular, who likes to keep notes for her research. she may not be able to do her job formally, in the way she's used to, but people still deserve the truth. and that means she needs to be the proverbial shovel that keeps digging. )
Sometimes there are two Events in a month alone. Not all of them are so dangerous, but enough of them are. The worst mistake some often make is to not take the warnings seriously. ( alice in wonderland evokes a whimsical feeling, but there was still a queen who wanted to cut off her head. )
video.
[ an eyebrow is raised, a beginning of a smile is brewing. ]
I'll help you with your search if I can see what it is you've found.
[ and an alliance is formed, as it happens. ]
Best make sure some of us do.
video.
I've found some. And then some more. I'm an investigative reporter back home. Digging's in my wheelhouse.
( and she would never turn down an alliance with princess leia organa. she may not be the aficionado barry and the others are, but her impression of the princess in general has always lead to admiration. )
I'd be happy to show you. I've been here for a while, and I like to keep thorough notes. Some things are easier to keep track of than others, though.
video.
[ finally, something to do, she almost seems relieved. ]
Between us we may yet find something that might be beneficial.
video.
( when in doubt, leave the ladies to take care of things.
barry's gonna be so jelly. )Oh! And I'm Iris. Iris West. Sorry, I should've started with that. ( leia could probably see her first name attached to the comments, but it's the polite thing to do, gosh. )
video.
[ a pretty name but she doesn't say it. it's not one she has heard before but sometimes not everything so outright new must also be negative. ]
I'm princess Leia of Alderaan, you may call me Leia.
[ formally, she'd still insist on her title if only because she represents Alderran, her family its values and its remaining people, here. Leia may have lost her home and those closest to her when Alderaan was destroyed but keeping its name and legacy alive is now her duty. ]
