for lastvoyages: First Hex [video]

[scarlet_discord]

[The camera clicks on to reveal Wanda's (freshly cleaned) room, with the Flag of the Romani People hanging on the wall over the bed behind her. She is fully Gothed out in her scarlet leather getup and coat (having spent an hour choosing the right outfit and makeup) and is making her best effort at a calm smile.]

Hi! I'm Wanda, Wanda Maximoff. I'm really new--I just showed up in the middle of that Flood thing. I am just checking to see if any of the awesome people I met during the Flood are still around. Anybody? I caught up with a few of you, but now I'm wondering if everyone else has disappeared. Soooo....check in if we met, ok? Or if you are just bored and want to meet the new girl, you know...whatever. [Oh no, she's not one bit nervous to introduce herself. Not at all.]  Anyway, thanks for listening....

Unfortunately, my dear, while my flood counterpart knew who you were, I've never met you before in my life.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Hi! Um...you must have looked a lot different because I'm sure I'd remember you.

But anyway, I'm a Goth Pagan from Bayville New York. I'm half Romani, and...you don't freak out easily, do you?

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I was the idiot in the horned hat. I am Loki, the god of mischief, and no I don't freak out easily.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

You're Lord Loki? The real one, not the one claiming to be god of evil like the unstudied kinderPagans say you are?

...awesome. Hi.

Well, I'm a mutant chaos-witch. In...um...training. [No use lying to a god...]

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

The real one. God of mischief, Scarlips, the Sly One, the Sky-Traveler, that's me.

A mutant chaos-witch...now, what exactly does entail?

[mightymorbid]

I see you got through that unscathed. Did anyone ever explain to you what a flood was?

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey Mozenrath! I'm good! I'm good. Had a weird encounter with a very polite zombie, but I'm good.

Um, in bits and pieces, yeah, I learned. A bunch of people helped me figure stuff out. I just hope most of them are still around!

You ok?

[mightymorbid]

[He really has no idea how to react to anyone saying his name with that much enthusiasm]

Me? [blink] I'm fine. Why do you ask?

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

[A soft chuckle] Well, for all I know something weird coulda happened to you, so of course I'll ask.

CREEPER NO CREEPING :|

Always pleased to meet and greet our new arrivals. Welcome to the Barge, my dear.

SHE'S USED TO FREAKING *TOAD*.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I like the hat.

Do you, um, know if I'm the only noob?

[notiaraincluded.livejournal.com]

Whoa! Hold on a sec.

Wanda Maximoff?!

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Hi Luke! You feeling better?

That's what's on my drivers' license! Why?

...Father didn't...do something again, did he?

[notiaraincluded.livejournal.com]

Yeah...yeah, I'm fine.

Just a little surprised. Your father...who is he?

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Magneto. I just...you know...don't agree with all his politics. [Anymore, anyway.]

[championoftime]

Welcome, Wanda. I'm Dr. John Smith. [He'll go with that for a start.] It's a pleasure. [And he pops off his hat in greeting.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Hi Dr. Smith. Do you work in the Infirmary too, or are you a different kind of doctor?

[championoftime]

A little of column A and a little of column B. "The Doctor" is a title I use normally instead of a name, but because of unusual circumstances there's more than one of me here, so I'm going by "John Smith".

But I also do work in the infirmary.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll try and remember that. I'm the Scarlet Witch, but Wanda's fine.

[what_ho_jeeves]

Miss Maximoff, I do apologize for my behaviour. I'm afraid you caught me at a bad time. You see, I'm not usually a flesh eating monster.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

You got better! Oh crap that's lucky. Being a zombie must have been really uncomfortable.

It's okay, though, you were basically the nicest zombie ever.

[darknessb4me]

You met someone, but it wasn't me.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

[Hesitation for a moment, and then Arthas actually gets a smile.]

So that's what your face looks like!

Do you still have awesome boots?

[darknessb4me]

[...not really the reaction he was expecting.]

They were the only pieces of the armor they let me keep.

[He heaves a leg up on the table, which makes a noise like it's seriously considering collapsing. Big shitkicker boots with jagged metal soles for traction on ice and skull greaves, too.]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

NnnnnNICE. I don't even mind that much that you were giving me attitude--you, sir, are metal.
