[ 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 hadn't thought of it that way. It makes the situation sound almost pleasant.

[whatsupcroc]

I know, doesn't it?

[ She winks. ]

Even the worst of the worst doesn't have to be all doom and gloom all the time. That's way too heavy to carry around.

[ Her smile is just a little grim. ]

And yet, and yet...

[ She relaxes a little. ]

But you're right. It's not healthy to allow the bad things to weigh us down all the time. As tempting as that is.

[whatsupcroc]

You know what else is tempting. Chocolate. Are you a chocolate lover?

[peaceinchaos]

I most certainly am.

[whatsupcroc]

How about cold chocolate? Kind of like ice cream, only smoother. Are you a fan of that too?

[peaceinchaos]

I can't say I've ever had that before. But I am a fan of ice cream, if it's similar.

[whatsupcroc]

It's pretty close!

[ Collette straightens up in her 'seat.' ]

All that means is you should definitely stop by 403 on your way up to your place. Consider it a welcome gift! Like a fruit basket, only more about chocolate and ice cream and less about fruit or baskets.

[ Wanda is getting some warm fuzzies now, wow. ]

Thank you, Collette, that's very sweet of you. I'll be sure to stop by.

[whatsupcroc]

Great! I look forward to seeing you, then!
