[Wanda has already seen Steve Rogers's network post and replied to it. Touching base with The Boss (er, probably more like former boss, technically, as they're not in their world any longer) when she saw his post -- and pleasantly surprised at his presence here as well -- became first priority for her.]

Wanda Maximoff speaking.

[When she starts this video off with the introduction, her accent is Eastern European, probably unfamiliar for most to completely pin down; Sokovia also didn't get much attention in her universe, anyway (not before Ultron), so even the Sokovian accent may be unfamiliar to many from her own world as well. Though, to those with a Serbia as well in the universes from which they hail from, before they arrived in this one, they might think she sounds vaguely Serbian, but that's as close as they'll probably be able to come. Assuming they're familiar with the Serbian accent at all.

Appearance-wise, she has long and dark hair, Caucasian, mid-twenties, and the makeup on her face is mostly just dark eyeliner and red lipstick. She's changed into something a little less obvious than her Avengers outfit that she arrived here in, so no shot of a fancy costume for you people today, sorry.]

I am new here, and skipping the usual round of questions from others who have recently arrived -- [She's already flicked back a few entries on this network device, browsing through it before broadcasting this video. It's how she came across Steve's very recent post.] -- but since I have already seen one man on the network who is familiar to me, I thought I would take a 'roll' -- [English expressions for things are so weird sometimes.] -- and see if there is anyone else here who may be familiar with me. So? [That's her cue for people to introduce themselves.]

And a last general question: The information I was given has my housing in the Nonah apartment complex. If anyone could tell me their favorite places in the city -- to visit, to eat, whatever -- I would appreciate that and will accept all suggestions.

[And then she ends the video.]

[ Huh. Between the accent and the difficulty with English, he tries a tentative suggestion in fluent (if oddly accented) Russian. ]

I don't know Nonah well, alas. But there are a few lovely places in De Chima and Heropa.

[She doesn't know too many languages, but Russian is one of them (the others being Sokovian, Serbian, English, and some German. Her German is mostly Hydra phrases that she heard Strucker or List say, and those aren't really USEFUL things in the language). So, she replies in Russian, and with a small smile: ]

Those suggestions would be most welcome too. I do not plan to spend every single second in Nonah, so what's to see in those cities?

[coppelganger]

Hey, I live in the Nonah apartment complex, too.

[ There aren't too many of them, so she feels like she ought to at least introduce herself. ]

video;

[divaricate]

I suppose that means we will be seeing some of one another. [She offers a quick smile.] What is your name?

[morethan084]

[Skye knew of her, but it was a one way street on that front. She had found out some information about her and her brother being used as lab rats. Apparently on their own terms.]

I've heard of you, back home I mean. You and your brother.

[Yeah, in her timeline the attack on Sokovia hasn't happened yet.]

I'm Skye.

[divaricate]

[She frowns slightly, mostly out of curiosity, but also concern. She doesn't know this woman, so how does she know her? And what else does she know about her and Pietro?

She can tell from the accent that she's not Sokovian. And she knows she's not an Avenger.

The only SHIELD people Wanda has met are Fury and Hill, and she's met former SHIELD agents in Natasha, Steve, and Clint. Well, Fury is technically former SHIELD too. She's probably heard a couple stories about Coulson by now as well.]

What do you back in our world?

[huntergames]

[ A young girl, no older than eighteen appears on screen. Her accent is probably German, although if one were to ask she might not know what to call it. The problem with canon being vague on where the story takes place. ]

I haven't been to Nonah in a long time, but go to any of their bigger shopping malls! The food courts especially. There's so much food to choose from there!

video

[divaricate]

That sounds delicious. [There's a friendly smile. She does enjoy lots of food options.] So they are more ... food than shops?

video

[heymcfly]

Nonah? Where's that?

video

[divaricate]

In North Carolina.

[iamtetsuo]

[Have a white-haired teenager. Tetsuo doesn't usually do video, but this is a special case.]

Wanda?!

[divaricate]

Y...es?

[She's curious. This isn't a familiar face to her.]

video;

[rassera]

[Kaneda's eyes shoot wide open at this. That voice.

He's heard it before, a long...long time ago. But one doesn't just forget that accent.]

It's you...! You're back!

[He'll get to Nonah's finest in a moment. Right now, this is happening.]

video;

[divaricate]

[She offers an apologetic smile. She feels kinda bad for these gaps in her memory. She doesn't remember apparently being here before.]

I am, though I apologize - I have no memory of my previous stay here.

AUDIO;

[wentfishing]

A real shame that we weren't placed in the same city. I wouldn't mind explorin' the place with a friendly face like yours.

[not here]

[inmyothertights]

[ But dude you are now on his shitlist. ]

AUDIO;

[divaricate]

[.........

ok

but]


Oh and how do you know I'm friendly? [unless he knew her during her previous time here.]

[inmyothertights]

[Oh for the love of God how often is he going to have to do this-]

Hi.

I'm.

Uh. Familiar.

[divaricate]

[cries.]

Hi. How so? [It's a friendly tone, at least. She's curious to hear about people who knew her in her previous trip here, so..]

[driftsintobuffetline]

...Russian? I'm guessing Russian, judging from "Maksimov" and from the conversation with Miles, unless that's not what the accent is--very Eastern European/Balkan...Bulgarian, maybe? God, I wish I knew the Kaidonovskys better.

Alright, I'm stumped.

And sorry, yeah, Nonah's not really a city I've been in much. De Chima's great if you like tech and there's plenty of eateries around there and you should make a point of checking out the Lucky Cat Café in Heropa. But Nonah...nah, I got nothing.

[divaricate]

I'm Sokovian, which is, yes, Eastern Europe. So, you were right overall.

[She flashes a smile.]

Tech is not really my thing -- [That sounds way too Tony Stark for her liking.] -- but eateries are for sure.

I have also heard of these cafe cats. I think that stop is probably going to be soon.

video

[pixiestyx]

Um. I'm familiar. Hi?

[She doesn't look or sound like the Scarlet Witch Megan knows, though. Maybe this is a case like with the cute English Professor X? She wouldn't put it past this place.]

You, like, taught me how to do a sleeping spell once? [That she's still bad at, but details. It's a milder introduction than the whole Decimation thing.]

video

[divaricate]

Hi. [She isn't familiar to her, but she gives a quick smile anyway.] That sounds like a useful skill. If that was here, sorry but I seem to have forgotten my past time here. [Her tone is apologetic.]

[akito]

There's a really nice park in Nonah! I used to live there before I moved to Heropa.

[ does he mean he lived in nonah in general, or the park? it is a mystery! spoiler: he lived in the park ]

I keep meaning to visit again with my dog!

[divaricate]

A park sounds lovely. [She can't quite tell if he means the park or Nonah in general, though.] Are there hiking trails there?

voice, id: Silk

[lunaraneae]

[Silk barely knows any mutants, and was locked in a bunker for ten years(ish), but even she heard about the whole M-Day thing.]

Wanda Maximoff like the Scarlet Witch? Uh, hey.

[divaricate]

Yeah, that's .. me. Were we acquainted during my last stay here?

Video;

[notyourfathersosborn]

I'm familiar with a version of you, from back home. I actually met her once, but it was a formal setting and we didn't really talk.

[None of the Avengers really said much before the whole "misguided fight" scenario broke out and destroyed half his office.]

Another version of you was here about 5 or 6 months ago, but she went home before I could cross paths with her. That's probably where a lot of people here are going to recognize you from.

As for Nonah, it's a great city. I lived there most of my time here, though I'm in De Chima now. There's a really nice coffee shop not far from the townhouses called the Daily Grind that had great coffee and comfortable chairs to sit in and work. And since I can't really cook, I found myself either eating out at or getting delivery from Marley's, which is a deli with a surprisingly large selection for what looks like such a tiny place from the outside. Man, just thinking about their French Dip makes me want to take trip down there...

But you really don't want to hear me ramble about food all day. What kinds of things are you looking for? I can try to let you know if there's a Nonah equivalent.

video;

[divaricate]

Seems a number of you know me from a different world than my own as well. Or, perhaps many different worlds, I am still not sure. [She assumes she will figure that out in time.] Were we .. allies on the same team once, Avengers?

No, the food sounds great. I'm fine with food rambles. But I think in addition to knowing where all the good food is, knowing where I can get in some time learning more about this place I now find myself in. Perhaps museums, and the like.

video;

[flowerette]

I'm familiar with you.

[ You know. Seeing Wanda in a vision along with Sokovia's destruction -- that makes her pretty familiar. Not that Raina will explain that. Right away at least. ]

I am from the same world as you and Captain Rogers.

video;

[divaricate]

Are you with SHIELD as well? [Having already met and talked to Skye, that's the assumption she's making with this woman as well since Wanda hasn't met her back in their world. Another SHIELD agent, who is either from an earlier time or who actually remembers the attack on Sokovia.]

[voice]

[puppydoctor]

Oh, hey, I live there too. [Or rather... well, it's complicated.] I'd be happy to give you the run-down. Nonah's an okay place.

[voice]

[divaricate]

Go team Nonah? [sure.] I will gladly accept an offer for the Beginners Guide To Nonah. [She says with a grateful tone and smile.]
