Nov. 8th, 2012 11:09 am[Wanda comes on, laughing, and it's not a kind laugh, or a merry laugh. It has a cruel, mocking tone to it, and from the way she's struggling to breathe it's the tail end of a serious bout. There is no indication of what she's laughing at. Perhaps she's simply snapped. But she controls herself after a few moments, and looks at the screen.]
Morning, multiverse.
[She is dressed per the usual in red and black, in a strappy leather uniform with opera length gauntlets, a midriff top and her usual klunky tank boots. It's a considerable upgrade from her old ripped catsuit. Her hair is growing out, and her eyes are so sunken they barely need the kohl she's shaded in around them. Her expression is hard, and her arms folded as she leans back in her desk chair.]
My name is Wanda Maximoff. I'm two months shy of nineteen years old. I've been falsely imprisoned in this place for a year and a half. Supposedly I am here for "redemption" and a second chance. In reality, this place has robbed me of innocence, hope, and faith in authority figures of any sort. When I get out of here--and I will get out--I need to find a world that's actually worth staying in, working to benefit, and defending. I'm interested in hearing about where as many people as possible come from, what problems your world is facing, and how your society deals with those who are more than human. Thanks in advance for your time. I'll be keeping my comm channel open all day.
[Her smile is strictly businesslike. She doesn't care if she hears from anyone from her homeworld.]
[spam for deck]
[She's managed to control herself fairly well after everything that Morgana and her idiot crony did, but she's still been a ball of rage and disgust ever since. It took everything she had not to utterly destroy Morgana's room after taking Mozenrath down to the Infirmary. But she did not after all, only because she knew that it would cause Mozenrath more headaches in the end. It certainly wasn't out of any sympathy for Morgana.]
[She lets out another bitter laugh as she steps out of the elevator onto the deck, headed for the Warden Area. She wants into the new practice chamber. After that, since she missed on Saturday recovering from patching the damn hull, she is hitting the pub.]
[She reaches the door to the Warden Area and waits for someone to come in or out. Not having a Warden can be a pain in the ass sometimes.]

Your evil laugh could use some work though. Throatier, maybe. Less manic. But good try! I like it.
[A pause, then a think for a few moments.]
Which version are you, I can't keep anybody straight, not with all this Sliders bullshit.

Date: 2012-11-08 08:35 pm (UTC)I know, I know. I need to smoke more pot. Get that nice rasp set in. Also in a place like this they should just send an ounce to our rooms at the end of every week.
I'm the Wanda Maximoff who got her head on straight, told her incredibly screwed up family to fuck off, said "hell no" to both guys who think they run Mutant politics, and refuses to work for the government. In short--I'm the smart one.

That's not how science works.
Shows what you know.
Good for you! You go girl. You should join the Charlie's Angels and spread that girl power around. Kick some tuckus, light some apartment buildings on fire...You know, whatever kids are doing these days.
[N-no. Probably a bad plan.]

You look a little younger than I expected.

Date: 2012-11-09 02:27 am (UTC)Well then, sunshine, don't come here. Most of what you just said is pretty standard if you're the wrong kind of non-human, and as for how society deals with us?
Well.
[He leans out of the way so she can see the burning X through the warehouse door and behind the chain link fence behind him.]
They say we're not even alive.

The people in charge, the people not in charge, the people period. Ordinaries don't seem to take too kindly to the fact that they've been living with us just fine for years, as long as they didn't have to look at the... more imaginative of us.
Point out a guy's part dog? All hell breaks loose.

I may have a place that would be perfect for you. You see, most of my associates are not human at all.
Could you elaborate on what it is that makes you more special than the average, run-of-the-mill, dull homo sapiens.

Date: 2012-11-10 11:22 pm (UTC)I'm actually OK with humans--my mom was human and so are some of my friends. But I'm OK with anyone who isn't doing harm to themselves or others. Programs, wizarding folk, angels, aliens, Badass Normals, non-murderous vampires, androids, lawyers, whoever.
[She considers the question.]
Each mutant has a specific power set. Mine involves a natural aptitude for what is called magic on some worlds. You can suss that as quantum reality alteration, probability manipulation or however you want to slice it depending on your point of view. I have had some formal magical training as a means of channeling those aptitudes, but in the end, once I achieved sufficient fine control, I was able to start drawing from any magical system--even fictitious ones.

Usually we cook them and eat them, right Gwinny?
[From offscreen comes an ethereally patient voice with a slight echo.]
It is not funny.

Aw, come on, don't pull my leg so hard. No human voice is as Goth as your friend's there.
[She takes in the combat duds.]
Professional Badass, huh?

I'm not certain how these broadcasts are functioning, but - perhaps I can find some way to break you out of wherever you're being held.
I don't believe you're the Wanda from my world, but that - well. It doesn't matter to me.

I--I....
[A deep breath.]
No. I'm not the Wanda from your world. If you were you'd be saying something a whole l-lot different.
