[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.]

That's better. [Than real slashes.] As for why you are saying it, because he's important to you and it's good to have people around who are important to you? Nothing wrong with that.

[oh, THOSE.] Those things, yes, but I don't know them as being called memes. [because, you know, different words for things in Sokovian.] But, memes, got it.

New and interesting is good too but. [but sometimes being too eager gets people in trouble. she knows this from experience.]

[driftsintobuffetline]

Yeah, he's just not keen on people knowing HOW fond, especially strangers. [Uh...Ignore the argument above. For a couple of geniuses, they remain fairly oblivious to how their arguments seem to look to other people. Okay, they're aware they look like an old married couple, but they're not ever really THAT aware.]

Memes, yeah.

No buts! Never a but. New and interesting is always worth exploring!

[divaricate]

I won't spread it around, promise. [Not that he knows her well enough to take much assurance in the statement, but she says it none the less.]

Even when it lands one in trouble?

[driftsintobuffetline]

I'm going to hold you to that, Wanda. I know where you live--...roughly. Nonah. Somewhere. Basically. I technically, vaguely know where you live, but the point still stands.

Especially then. Nothing is ever discovered by playing it completely safe.

[divaricate]

I'm sure you could trace my device or something. [omg don't give him ideas.]

Perhaps, but some things one cannot take back. [Not that she regrets diving what the experiments gave her, her powers, but she regrets the fact that it was Hydra all along and she was allied with them by virtue of that.]

[driftsintobuffetline]

That's more Hermann's forte.

[Her observation gets a rather quiet, kind of introspective Newt.] Yeah. That is true. But hey, sometimes the discovery is worth it.
