 [Wanda is Wanda! She looks a little frantic stuffing zoology books from the Library into a backpack.]

OK guys. I'm going to be coming around setting out water for those of you who no longer have thumbs. As I go I am gonna knock on doors. If you are trapped in your room and you hear me knocking, make some noise. Bark, moo, scratch on the door, knock something over, whatever you have to do. I'll be there as soon as I can.

If you still have two legs and/or opposable thumbs, I could really use help with this.

[Wanda then proceeds to do exactly what she said, spending hours ferrying vessels of water to the various levels and knocking on every damn room door. She will circle back after her rounds to double check the Deck, and drop off some food and water at the Infirmary as she usually does once a day.

Cat food?

Oh yeah, I forgot, you can probably stomach an awful lot you couldn't normally right now. But nope. My buddy George is getting a nice chopped salad with fruit and nuts. And so am I for that matter, cause I'm starved.

Why would a pig eat cat's food? Not that I don't like milk myself. But I thought pigs ate...everything, actually.

[He waddles past her and peers into the hallway. Then he pauses, backs up, and turns back in her direction. It takes some manuevering. Pigs aren't very flexible.]

Salad? Are you putting me on a diet?

Huh? Hell no! Trust me, I learned to make my salads and sammiches from a five hundred pound gourmet. [She trails after him.] See, you chop up apples and celery and chicken, and add raisins and nuts and those sugar peas. It's all in a light cream dressing, and I figure chopped stuff will be easier to eat out of a big bowl.

I suppose if there's chicken in.

[As a member of the working class, George lives almost entirely off of bread, butter, cheese, potatoes, tea, and biscuits. Also because he hasn't got a wife.]

I'll add extra. Don't worry, I'm not trying to poison you or anything. [A soft laugh as she stepped past him and headed for the elevator.]

Nope. Not a chance of it. I'd feel bad enough if you just didn't like the taste. [She hits the button].

I feel like there should be an emergency communicator-tree or something set up in cases like this. There would have to be lots of redundancy, though.

[He stumbles around the lift a little, like a dog trying to stand in the car, until he eventually plops down on his rump with an oink.]

A...tree?

Basically, each person specifically seeks out and checks on four people. That person contacts four people, and so on, with redundancy built in in case some members are incapacitated.

I get it. I'm just trying to plan on whatever the next big mess is. [She walked a little more slowly on her way to the kitchen.]

Oh, it is worth looking into.

[As they walk, she broods for a moment or two, then starts talking again, slow and thoughtful.]

I come from a world where we have to hide what we are because people are hostile. I was in a rooming house with four other mutants. All teenaged boys, all powerful and all lacking self control. It's kinda ironic; I'm Chaos Girl but a lot of the time I was the most orderly person around there.

[She goes over to the counter, grabs some apples from the bowl and washes them before going for a knife and chopping board.]

Me and Blob, anyway. Sometimes something crazy would happen, and I'd try to just learn from it and figure out how to deal with it better the next time it happened. Like when they busted my bedroom door in again, or destroyed the front windows.

[She offers half an apple once she's gotten the seeds dug out.]

My mother's gone. Father never has much time for us, so it's the rooming house until he needs us for something.

I've never known my father myself. And I only met mother recently.

[Wanda chops four apples into generous chunks, slipping him one every once in a while. Then she moves on to celery, washing them and offering a stalk.]

I hope it was a good reunion.

Now, I do have my brother, my twin. But he's kind of obnoxious, and...there's such a thing as being so close with someone that you can't stand him after a while.

[It's a bit strange to eat out of someone's hands, but George supposes that, so long as he has hooves, it's not inappropriate.]

It was nice to finally meet her. I put an advertisement in the paper, and she and another woman appeared, and then we had to figure out which of them was truly my mother.

He works your nerves, you mean?

I bet she's nice too. In her own way.

Yeah, he works my last nerve. But he's...he couldn't get to me so much if I didn't care about him. But he's the kinda brother you can't really tell you care about him because he'll tease you like crazy.

She is, certainly.

['In her own way' is the opperative phrase. She's...kind of a swindler. And probably at least a former prostitute.]

Why would he tease you for that?

Because he's seventeen but acts like a thirteen year old, he likes to get away with teasing people, and he hates taking things too seriously? [A shake of the head. She chops the celery and then puts it and the apples into a big serving bowl, then starts cleaning the snap peas after putting down a small bowl of them for George.]
