[The screen flickers on with a close-up of a woman's shoulder as she fiddles with the phone for a while, occasionally making a quiet, frustrated sound. Eventually, it remains in place, hovering about five feet in the air. She takes a few steps back.]

This is Zatanna. If my name means anything to you, please contact me. [And softly, if not annoyed:] I suppose it would be too much to ask for anyone from the League to be present, wouldn't it?

[She clears her throat and raises a hand to her top hat, giving the brim a tilt.] To everyone else, I can only hope that it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. And that under the circumstances, I'd say some handsome gentleman should be kind enough to offer this stranded, lonely damsel a drink. [She leans in, toward the screen, like she intends to shut it off, but pauses short of it.] It's still a bit early, so just an Americano will do.

[Then she continues with her intended motion.]

I'd be delighted to buy a drink for one as lovely as yourself~.

[hexappeal]

Addendum: must be over thirty.

Just in case.

[favoritetraitor]

I assume you mean human years... in which case, you have nothing to be concerned about. I'm well over that.

[hexappeal]

I mean whatever equates to thirty human years in whatever you are... years. That's what I mean.

[valentineluke]

I more than meet the criteria.

[hexappeal]

Awfully confident, huh.

[valentineluke]

Own a upscale hotel that has a bar - no manhandling goes on in it.

Pleasure to meet you, Zatanna. I'm Charlie. Welcome to the City.

[hexappeal]

Hello, Charlie.

Don't suppose you're the welcoming committee, are you?

[charring]

Nope. Just a friendly face.

[eiremagic]

You stuck about!

[hexappeal]

Should I have been able to go home?

[eiremagic]

Back on the weekend most people who showed up did, you know.

[Her accent is thick North Irish]

[orangetoughguy]

Should it mean anything, you know, specific?

[hexappeal]

You tell me.

[orangetoughguy]

[This here is a fine line between fan, fanboy, and sounding like he's getting fresh.] With a face and name like that you've got to be a celebrity.

[doeswhathewants]

Zatanna, huh? Do you play cards?

[hexappeal]

I might.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh. Perhaps a game, sometime. With a small, gentleman's wager.

[merespark]

Only just arrived and already playing with people's hearts? I can tell you'll be trouble, haha.

[hexappeal]

I'm afraid it's unintentional. It's the sort of thing that just happens when you're as stunning as I am.

[merespark]

With people like you, it's never unintentional.

[intheblanks]

[Always worth knowing a woman who can levitate things. Saves having to carry her purse.]

How about offering a drink this evening?

[hexappeal]

You're on, guy.

But the drink changes to scotch. And not the cheap kind.

[intheblanks]

I thought the term was handsome gentleman. [Yeah he can make the innocent eyes but doesn't pull off deadpan.] And you sound like a damsel of taste.
