[ 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. ]

Amnesia?

[studieswaitressing]

I guess so. Or memory alteration.

[Either way, not that ... great to think about.]

[peaceinchaos]

Does Charles have any idea what may have caused that?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

...no.

[But Charles -- doesn't go in her head. That's the deal, at least.]

[ Boy, was that a weighted pause. Tentatively: ]

Did he do a scan?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

No.

[That was a little more definite, at least.]

He doesn't read my mind. Nothing like that.

Video;

[peaceinchaos]

I see.

[ Yeah, she knows better than to push with things like that. ]

Do you remember anything before the memory loss?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

[You are a wise woman, Wanda.]

Nothing from here. I remember everything from home just fine.

...Would these Initiative people have the ability to erase memories?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Since we've already seen them manipulate memories within the last few weeks...I don't see why not.

[peaceinchaos]

[ Well, that's. Worrying. ]

They did bring us here to begin with, I suppose that shouldn't be too surprising.

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Yeah, and it's not exactly a comforting thought.

Video;

[peaceinchaos]

Not in the least. Do you know if there have been other cases of memory loss?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Nothing I can think of, but you can always ask around. Maybe people just haven't been admitting to it. Or -- well, maybe they don't know.

[peaceinchaos]

You didn't know about it till Charles mentioned it, did you? If that's the case than there doesn't seem to be much we can do for the time being.

[ Wow, she is really done with having mysterious forces play around in her head. ]

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Yeah, exactly. It's not really going to become evident by itself, I guess.

That's problematic.

Video;

[peaceinchaos]

I agree, but I can't see too many ways to protect ourselves from it happening.

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

Seems like the default here. Things are unpredictable, so nobody's ready for them when they happen.

Perhaps we can't anticipate things, but perhaps we can try to be prepared.
