[ Here's Wanda!  Projecting a somewhat forced calm. ]

Hello. This is... [ She pauses and huffs a laugh, her calm a little less forced. ] This isn’t how I expected my day to go in the slightest. I have been to alternate dimensions before, goodness knows, but this time around is a bit odd. It’s very organized.

I am. [ The smile disappears into a slight frown. ] My name is Wanda Maximoff and I am known as the Scarlet Witch. For a time, I was an Avenger. If there is anyone here from my world, my name may mean any number of things to you. I hope we may speak civilly regardless.

[ Though she’s not getting her hopes up, if the look on her face is any indication. ]

You dimension hop like this all the time?

Anyway, it's nice to meet you Wanda! I'm Collette, and I'm pretty sure I have no idea what you mean by half of what you're saying.

[peaceinchaos]

Not quite all the time, but more than I would have liked.

That's all right, it's very nice to meet you as well, Collette.

[whatsupcroc]

So what's with hoping people can talk civilly with you if they recognize your name?

[ She's curious, resting her chin on her hand. Apparently she has her netbook resting on a table right now. ]

—Wanda?

Oh my God, Wanda!

...Lorna?!

[mistressofmagnetism]

I can't—

I can't believe you're here, too; in this place... this weird place.

[studieswaitressing]

Never heard of them.

You've had this happen to you before, though? Alternate dimensions?

I don't know if that's comforting or not.

[ Those are some really good questions, Raven, and Wanda would totally respond to that, but she's kinda staring. ]

Mystique?

[...oh, great.]

I'm guessing I'm not how you remember me.

[ There is some delay before he responds to this, as though he has spent a significant amount of time debating whether or not to do so in the first place. ]

Wanda.

[ She actually looks a little relieved to see him! But cautious because this is Magneto and oh god what did you do this time Dad. ]

Hello, Father.

Are there many more types of places such as these out there, then?

[peaceinchaos]

Not exactly like this, but yes. I have no idea how many there may be, though.

You've been to alternate dimensions before? Think ya can figure a way to hop right back outta this one?

[peaceinchaos]

No, I'm afraid I'm not nearly powerful enough for something like that.

[moralperil]

[Lavender eyes peer closely, curiously.] You can travel to other dimensions?

[peaceinchaos]

[ Wanda offers a small smile. ] Not of my own will, no. I just seem to have a habit of winding up in them.

[bittertears]

Your name is unfamiliar to me, Miss Maximoff, but I remain intrigued by it regardless.

[just out of curiosity. she's never encountered a scarlet witch before!]

[peaceinchaos]

Oh, indeed?

[ If Wanda sounds a little cautious, it's only because the word "intrigued" used in relation to mutants rarely ends well. ]

[sacrificar]

An Avenger?

[peaceinchaos]

More or less... Do you know of them?

[bearswitness]

Yes yes no one expected it get over yourself.

[peaceinchaos]

I'm sorry if my surprise bothered you. I'm sure it's something you hear often from people who have just been brought here.

[implying]

Now, how did you happen upon a name like Scarlet Witch? That's quite dramatic!

[peaceinchaos]

I have a penchant for the color and a flare for dramatics when I was younger. The name stuck.
