For lastvoyages Twenty-third Hex [video]

[scarlet_discord]

 [Wanda is in her room, seated in front of her Romany flag with its red wheel and green and blue fields. She is in her Scarlet Witch costume and looks a little apprehensive. There's no knowing who she'll get or what they will think of her. But she'll be damned if she'll hide from this.]

[...it would help if Fozzie didn't keep popping his big fuzzy head onscreen to sniff the talky-box or beg for scritchings, but...behold her life.]

Hey to anyone who might be listening in. My name is Wanda Maximoff, I am eighteen, and I'm from Bayville, New York. I'm a mutant and a witch. [her face darkens.] Anyone with a problem with either is cordially invited to go fuck themselves. [Then back to a faint smile.] I'm looking for fellow peeps from Bayville, fellow mutants and magical folk, and heck, anyone who feels like talking.

Wanda?

...Who's the other furry dude, dude? Not another Brotherhood recruit...!

[scarlet_discord]

Oh. Um...hey Kurt. [A shy look. The big black fuzzy guy sprouts an entirely too enormous doggie tongue and then barks happily.]

Nope, this is my dog, Fozzie Bear. I'm not part of the Brotherhood anymore. I'm never going back.

[bluefuzzed]

Really?

...As in... you're going to join the X-Men?

Timey Whimey Shenanigans. Because 8C

[gingerspeedster]

Hey kiddo. How's things?

[scarlet_discord]

Wally! Oh my various gods. How are you? [She breaks into a smile while wrestling the dog's head away from the communicator screen.]

[gingerspeedster]

I'm doing alright. Just tying up some loose ends on that crisis I mentioned. It sounds like a lot has happened while I've been gone.

Video.

[Okay, so now that this keeps happening, he's not so pissed to be watching...whatever the fuck this is.]

Bayville, huh? You evah been downtown, kid? Stupid question, right? But man, you'd be surprised how many New Yorkahs ain't never set foot on the island.

Video.

[scarlet_discord]

Oh hi! I have. I'm planning to work there. Do the whole professional badass thing. Got a lot to learn first though.

Video.

Maybe if you're good enough, I dunno, we can work sumthin' out. I like workin' alone, but Leo and the guys, they're all about the team thing.

Ever hear of the Nightwatcher?

[Audio]

[truth_is_cold]

I don't recall having a problem with it, which is good because I don't prefer my own company for that sort of intimacy.

[Cheeky bastard as always.]

How are you, Wanda?

[Audio]

[scarlet_discord]

Rhade! Oh wow. How are you doing? Progress? Adventure? Tell tell.

[Fozzie gets excited and tries to lick the screen. Wand wrestles with him for a moment.]

[Audio]

[truth_is_cold]

More progress. Adventure is... more domestic than I've had in a while, but not unwelcome.

Is it still hell there?

[colormejellerz]

Siri, are there any African American goths?

[scarlet_discord]

Yeah, they just generally have their own way of doing makeup.

[colormejellerz]

Siri, are there any Native American Gauls?

[...All he did was turn on his radio. What are these Barge & Wanda feels all of a sudden?]

Hey, Wanda. Been a while.

[scarlet_discord]

[Oh gods ALL THE FEELS for a few seconds. She looks down at her hands, calling to mind everything she figured out about Franklin and what she would say and do if she saw him again. Then she lifts her chin and offers a small but genuine smile.]

Heya Franklin. How have you been?

[brainiac5]

...COMPUTO. Scan transmission feeds for time stream disturbances on all networks.

Excuse me, 'Wanda', I believe you may have stumbled upon an unknown time anomaly. Odd that it would travel through a signal like this.

[scarlet_discord]

The Barge is a vessel which seems to travel the spacetime streams without any restrictions. I wouldn't be all that surprised by time anomalies connected to it. I am originally from 1993. What year are you from?

[gammabruce]

[...Wut. The computer doesn't even get the weather channel, but who is this attractive goth person? So much awkward.]

Umm. Hello? Have I crossed into the wrong network by accident?

[scarlet_discord]

Oh hi. I'm sorry, this is very weird. But the thing is, I'm on a transdimensional vessel, and only a few times a year are we able to communicate with the outside worlds. I never know who I'm going to connect with on this thing. It's kind of neat!

[what_ho_jeeves]

What ho, what ho, Miss Maximoff! [Bertie will be polite and not mention her language, which is still horribly shocking for him to hear from a girl. Besides, he's happy to see old pals.]

[scarlet_discord]

[OMG SHE JUST SWORE IN FRONT OF BERTIE. Suddenly she is all shy-eyed and matching her coat. Yeah, real tough girl, this one.]

Hi Bertie! How are you doing? You're missed around here!

[grandmas_gurl]

Magic? [She guesses she's magical.]

[scarlet_discord]

Yep, I'm a witch. Not the demon-pacting kind, kind of more the Gandalf-in-training kind. How're you? Cool cloak.
