[her voice is very clipped, very businesslike. this isn't the first time she's had to make a post like this.]

Wanda Lensherr has been 'ported out. I'm--sorry to anyone who knew her.

[she takes a deep breath, then the recording cuts.]

Ah, a shame to hear that.

permavoice.

[sorcerously]

It is, yes. She was a good friend of mine.

[bluepurrymuffin]

I got to know her after I first arrived, but we had...something of a falling out in December. I'd meant to patch things up, but between her stay in Venice and having a rather busy couple of months, I haven't really seen her since the beginning of the new year.

[sorcerously]

I see. I'm sorry you weren't able to make amends, sir.

[Voice, Private]

[arataznhoj]

Are you okay, Gemma? [Concern shows in his voice, and he wishes he could do more than just ask.]

[Voice, Private]

[sorcerously]

[she doesn't sound very upset; but she's gotten rather good at hiding discomfort while in the city.]

I'll miss her, but--it's happened before. To her, I mean.

[Voice, Private]

[arataznhoj]

Ah. I am sorry. Having friends missing is never easy.

[Voice, Private]

[sorcerously]

It isn't, no. All I can do, I suppose, is hope she's happy where she is now.

[mansansfear]

... Where are you?

permavoice.

[sorcerously]

In the house. I just--saw her go.

[mansansfear]

Are you alright?

[sorcerously]

This isn't the first time she's left.

permavoice;

[microwavemutant]

Oh my God.

permavoice.

[sorcerously]

I'm sorry, Angie.

[microwavemutant]

No, Gemma. Please don't apologize, it's not your fault.

... I have to tell Pietro.

[sorcerously]

--This timing couldn't have been worse.

[godofnicehair]

[For a second there's just a tapping sound.]

Were you a friend to Wanda?

permavoice.

[sorcerously]

[she takes a moment to respond.]

Yes. We lived together, when she was in the City.

[godofnicehair]

Pray forgive me; if she spoke your name, I cannot think of it. I am Thor. [A pause.] Did you know of her power?

[sorcerously]

[it kind of stings to know that wanda didn't speak of her, but she lets it pass. it's a silly thing to be upset about.]

I'm Gemma. Gemma Doyle. It's a pleasure, considering the circumstances.

[another pause.] Yes. Our powers are--were alike, in some ways.
