a. winter rescue

[ Hana gears up to embark on a rescue operation as soon as the call to action goes out. She knows she can help if she's in her mech, either by carrying any injured (although capacity is limited on her mech that's more like a mobile suit of armor than a vehicle for transport) or, more importantly, by helping clear out paths that might be blocked from heavy snowfall and associated mishaps. It helps, too, that her mech is as bright pink as a mech can possibly be - so she can be a beacon for any who are lost, too.

An additional container is attached to her mech, too, carrying with her supplies like blankets and hand warmers that may be in immediate need for the lost cadets. At the gates that lead out from the Inner City out to its abandoned parts beyond the wall, Hana waits for the party to gather also wearing cold-weather gear, because her mech's cockpit isn't entirely enclosed. She just hopes this doesn't have her relapsing into the illness she'd just managed to kick. ]

Ready to go? Those poor kids are waiting for us, we have to get to them.

b. santa baby d.va

[ On the days leading up to the holidays (or at least, the holidays that she celebrates where she's from, like Christmas), Hana works hard on her streaming channel and on social media to publicize and announce a fundraising-slash-donation drive that she's decided to put on. Plenty of people have come and gone around here in the Quarantine, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to build such wonderful networks of support as someone like Hana has with the people around her - there are refugees from all over the place and not all of them fare as well.

So on the appointed day of her drive, Hana can be found out on one of the town squares around the city, with her ever-pink mech wrapped in lights and holding an open burlap sack already somewhat-full of things like toys and supplies, and D.Va herself is dressed for the festive mood. Her mech projects a message holographically, reading: HAPPY HOLID.VA DONATION DRIVE! as she's calling out to passersby: ]

Let's all remember how fortunate we are and give something to help people who aren't! Toys or books or anything else for the kids, or families, anything is appreciated! Thank you!

c. christmas gifts! (for close cr)

[ Finally, come Christmas-time, if you're rather close with Hana (see the list below!) chances are she'll have left a package at your doorstep at some point in the middle of the night - really taking this Santa D.Va thing seriously - for you to find on Christmas morning.

• Genji - a little cherry blossom bonsai tree and a new frame for his picture of him and Hanzo
  
• Gladio - a cup noodle pillow and his very own bundle of fancy soaps
  
• Shiro - a constellation quilt, which also an actual accurate star map for the part of space they’re in, and a black beanie with kitty ears
  
• Keith - a red beanie with kitty ears (to match Shiro’s), and some paw mittens
  
• Jason - red motorcycle gloves and also a red hoodie because… get it hahaha
  
• Cisco - a buncha video games and a red dragon kigurumi
  
• Taako - a cake stand with bunnies and a unicorn kigurumi with a silver horn
  
• Magnus - a three wolf moon shirt
  
• X’rhun - a stylin’ red jacket and this book
  
• Shigeru - a new sketchbook
  
• Star-Lord - tickets to a local concert to take Star-Lady to
  
• Matsuno brothers - a cute clock for their new house and a ‘This is Our Get Along Shirt’ shirt big enough for three entire whole-ass Matsuno-sized people
  
• Reaper - just a whole load of spicy, spicy kimchi
  
• Also all of them get an autographed polaroid picture of D.Va, you're welcome.

She doesn't expect anything in return (okay maybe she is, a little - or a lot), but she's certainly amenable to receiving messages of thanks via text or call or in person or however else. ]

(( ooc: anything else you'd want to thread out? let me know via PM or Plurk at camerata ))

for damian

[bunnyhopped]

[ Not too long after Hana finally feels like she's recovered enough to leave the quarantine zone of her bedroom, she messages Jason's little brother Lil D Damian about her promise to let him come and see her mech. She lets Jason know about it, too, since the older Bat had mentioned dropping Damian off. In any case, the arrangements are made for Damian to come see her MEKA unit, which is currently parked below in the garage level of the apartment building she lives in. And when the appointed day and time come, she waits for him in the garage dressed in her flight suit and perched on one of the mech's cannon-wielding arms, swiping away at a holographic screen.

She's actually rather looking forward to meeting Damian. Back when they'd shared memories (albeit unwillingly), she got to see a glimpse of what Jason's life was like before the Riverview Quarantine. She saw how he'd met that Batman dude, then saw the guys that Jason considered his brothers (even if he didn't actually say it like that) - and Damian was one of them. Hana doesn't have any siblings, herself, but if she did, she imagined it'd probably be a lot like what she witnessed when Jason and Damian were on the network. But... possibly less violent. Maybe? Hard to say. ]

*BUST THROUGH WALL COOLAID MAN STYLE* I AM HERE!

[sonofab]

[Damian was not riding passenger on Todd's motorcycle and he was adamant about this until the man finally agrees to take Damian by car. So they finally arrive a bit late.

Damian can see the mech from the window and he is all but vibrating to get out of this damn car, right now! It's as magnificent as they said. Enjoy the smudged fingerprints on your window Todd, because until he gets out of this car he just isn't close enough.]

Bye.

[He barks out distractedly at the driver once the car stops and he can finally get out. He walks up eagerly to the mech, taking in the canons and futuristic looking materials.]

...The future's looking bright. [He whispers because this glorious creature is shining through his bleak outlook.]

bless your heart

[ Hana doesn't mind that they're late - but she does wave at the car after Damian is dropped off. Then she watches as Damian approaches the mech without much regard for the owner of said mech, but she's not bothered by it, and to that effect she chuckles at Damian's first reaction to it. She hops down from the arm to get in front of him, leaning against one of the MEKA unit's legs and folding her arms.

(She isn't that much taller than him at a rather statuesque 5-foot-something.) ]

Nice to meet you too, Damian.

[sonofab]

[Ah, right, manners. Something Pennyworth, Grayson and just about any adult that has encountered Damian has tried to instill in him for going on 3 years now, but hey, maybe the lesson just needed a woman's approach.

The small teen turns to her and gives a soft "Huh..." Though their first encounter was all done via text, the boy was a detective and well, he, of course, had started to build a profile of what the woman might look like just from texting and context.

He gives her a contemplative look.]

I imagined you taller. [But everything else was about right. Young, attractive he expected from the way Todd seemed to drool over her text and personable.]

But, yes, nice to meet you. [Right, manners.]

Your machine... [Words fail him as he looks back at it. It wasn't the Black lion but it was still a sight to behold.] What purpose does it serve? [He reaches a hand out, slightly hesitant to touch it, but in the end can't help himself and places his palm on the cool metal.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ Her cordial expression sours almost immediately upon hearing his height comment; but Hana is quick to recover, saying, ]

Funny. I imagined you taller, too!

[ before she follows his gaze back to her mech. She's usually more protective about people touching her mech, but when she sees how carefully and hesitantly Damian reaches out, she decides not to deter him. He's just curious, and she doesn't blame him - this is state-of-the-art tech where she's from, after all. To his question, she clears her throat and gestures at one of the decals on top of it which reads beneath the MEKA logo: Mobile Exo-force of the Korean Army. ]

It's an armored mech for the military, specifically designed and engineered to combat dissenting omnic units from my world.
