[ username reads: wanda ]

​​​​[ Having had time to recover from the fight, Wanda looks no worse for wear. She's outside in the abandoned village, out of the glare of sunlight, moving her fingers slowly. Thin red wisps of hex energy weave around her fingers. A small rock, part of a doorframe, and a water bottle are moving in a slow, lazy circle like they're being turned on an invisible Ferris wheel. ]

​​​​[ She's quiet at first, concentrating. Then, she pulls the water bottle into one hand. The other two objects keep circling. ]

What is this called, where you are from?

​​​​[ Her mouth curves in dry amusement. ]

Is it magic?

"probably"?

[heavyhitter]

yeah you wouldn't expect to see it from a human but there's probably aliens out there that can make it happen
why, are you looking for something cool to call it, because space bullshit's got a real ring to it

[scarletcast]

It has a few names already. I will stick to them.

What kind of aliens have you met?

[heavyhitter]

oh man dozens
some of them were SUPER hot, like you wouldn't expect they'd appeal to human sensibilities but let me tell you
it was good shit

[scarletcast]

[ trample all over her tony stark buttons why don't you ]

What is your name?

[heavyhitter]

do you want me to tell you or do you want me to just show you how to fish and you eat fish for a lifetime
or however that goes

[scarletcast]

[ ???? ]

I do not need to fish.

You can tell me.

[heavyhitter]

oh my god ok let me try again
do you just want my name or do you want me to show you where you can look up everyone's names

[scarletcast]

I would like to look up everyone.

[heavyhitter]

learn to fish it is

[ and pretend here there are pretty decent instructions on how to look up this on the magitek, idk what that ic process looks like..... ]

[scarletcast]

[ done and done! And because Wanda wasn't raised by wolves, ]

Thank you Ana.

[heavyhitter]

whoa whoa whoa no
it's ramir, the ana part is decorational
god i gotta find a way to make a note on that thing or something

[scarletcast]

Very well. Ramir.

What is a Taranto?

[heavyhitter]

uh a cool name, is that not enough for you??

[scarletcast]

I was asking what it meant.

[heavyhitter]

ok well you're in luck or else i'd be demanding to what what wanda means, taranto is a city
two cities actually, one in italy one on a little planet you've never heard of

[scarletcast]

You are from Italy, or this planet?

[heavyhitter]

both
i mean, BORN on the planet, but italy colonized it
as long as we're doing 20 questions, where're you from?

[scarletcast]

sokovia, on earth

[heavyhitter]

oh
never been

[ never even... heard of it?? how embarrassing, for a self-professed world traveler ]

what's it like?

[scarletcast]

It is a small country, not as rich as our neighbours. What little we have in wealth we make up for in spirit.

[heavyhitter]

what kinda food? [ the most important part ]

[scarletcast]

[ she's really tempted to go with "good food". obviously. best food. ]

Eastern European.

[heavyhitter]

well that's almost helpful
come on what's your favorite dish

[scarletcast]

why do you ask?
