[ 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. ]

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

[implying]

I like it very well. And if you don't mind my saying, it suits your present look, as well.

[peaceinchaos]

Thank you, I'm still very fond of it as well.

May I ask your name?

[implying]

Oh, my apologies! We've only just met, and I'm already neglecting my manners.

Vanadi, and it's a pleasure to meet you, my dear.

[peaceinchaos]

It's very nice to meet you as well, Vanadi.

This is perhaps a silly question, but is everyone who uses this device a transport?

[implying]

As far as I've seen, yes! I suppose here and there are members of our dear team of captors, but generally, we're transports. A nice little network we've here, isn't it?

[peaceinchaos]

It's certainly convenient. We have similar systems back in my world, but nothing quite like this.

[implying]

[ suddenly just a tiny bit less flirty and more interested: ] Do you? How so?

[peaceinchaos]

Well, I'm not sure what sort of technology you're used to, but we have a network that allows people to connect across the world and share information.

[implying]

People of... ah, how to put this— of only one world, yes?

[peaceinchaos]

For most people on our planet, yes. But there are a few... organizations who have the technology to communicate with other worlds.

[implying]

I... don't suppose any of that is here?

[peaceinchaos]

I'm sorry, Vanadi, I really wouldn't know.

[implying]

Ah. Well, it was certainly worth a shot! My apologies for the incessant questions, my dear. You've been quite helpful. [ no not really JUST BEIN POLITE. and at least she tried. :c ]

[peaceinchaos]

Have I? [ She laughs softly. ] I feel like I've done nothing but fumble my way through my time here so far. But you're very welcome.

[implying]

Well, I doubt if any of us can really claim anything otherwise.

[peaceinchaos]

That's a little comforting at least. Though... I feel like I've been doing a bit more stumbling than the average person recently...

[implying]

Perhaps I might lend a hand? We transports have got to look out for one another, you know!

[peaceinchaos]

Thank you, but...

[ She hesitates. Well, it's not like she would ever ask him to get involved in any of the insanity from her life back home. And it cold be good to have someone who knows a bit more about the place than she does. Right? ]

Yes, all right. Thank you, Vanadi.

[implying]

[ aw yeah, a hot lady agreed to... a vague non-specific thing, sweet! time to narrow this down. ]

It's my pleasure, Wanda!

I might explain things over drinks, mm?

[peaceinchaos]

[ Raaaaaaaised eyebrows at that. He couldn't be... ]

I don't see why not.

[implying]

Excellent! Have you the time in, oh, say, an hour?

[ he totally is ]

[peaceinchaos]

Being new in town, I find I have quite a bit of it.

[implying]

In that case, why wait? Perhaps now will suit us better.

[peaceinchaos]

[ She hesitates. Oh, why not. ]

That's fine. Where should I meet you?
