For lastvoyages: Sixteenth Hex [Video]

[scarlet_discord]

[Wanda is wearing an artfully slashed-up black T-shirt with a Guy Fawkes mask printed on it, and red leather jeans. Her makeup is even more Gothed out than usual and she looks a bit apprehensive.]

Screw it. I may as well try.

This is Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. Is anyone out there?

[Digga--buh--wha? She blinkblinks at the screen, then leans forward to peer at him. The she starts just...giggling.]

Oh my various gods. Um. [sporfle] Hi there!

We're on a big boat out among the stars! It's kinda hard to explain. [She has to pause to wrestle Very Large Pup onto her lap, as he's finally awake]

This is Fozzie. Are you still in the Hundred Acre Wood?

[...His television is talking to him again. What even. Well. OKAY. It's apparently one of those days. He's not getting anything done today, it's fine.

Have a Chester lounged all over the sofa and watching the TV screen curiously, looking thoughtful. He looks much less surprised by the whole thing than maybe he should, considering.]

Isn't there a song like that? Pink Floyd, the Wall, don't ask me the year because fuck if I know, and no, the album doesn't line up to the movie as well as you'd think. You gotta play it twice, maybe three times, and at least a third of the songs don't even fit all the time. But the ones that do? Fucking brilliant.

[The mirror in the bathroom was no so pristine and clean that if the tiniest sodding fingerprint got on it? World War III would start. Fair warning. Blood was meticulously scraped off that, which is a damned hard thing to do.

Meanwhile, Chester was talking to himself. Again. This is his life.]

I really think you should watch your drug intake, Chester, because there's some days I-- I-- [ALL.THE.STARING. And anxious twitching.] Who is that?!

[scarlet_discord]

[Wanda blinked. Here was a guy who looked like Richie, except without that faint gleam at the backs of his eyes of I AM FUCKING CRAZY. And here was another guy who looked like Blonsky's baby brother, but with better taste in music.]

Yeah, yeah, it wouldn't be so depressing if it weren't so powerful. Just because songs like that put you in a shitty mood doesn't mean they're not moving.

I said. My name's Wanda Maximoff. And you guys are the first people I have spoken to from the real world since I got stuck on this goddamn spaceship...Barge...thing.

[Turns to look at Ted, and he GRINS. You know that grin, Ted. You want to be on the couch, don't you?

...Too bad, you're there now. And you've got a Chester draped over you to keep you there.]

...Yeah. What she said. Don't look so worried, Teddy, this could be fun. As for my drug intake...That's what I've got you for. I'm doing fine with that, and a little extra pep now and again never hurt anybody anyway. Just ask... [Vague hand gesture] That guy. Or the Beatles; you can't tell me their work wasn't better 'cause of all the shit they were on.

So. [Attention back on Wanda.]

I'm Chester. This is Ted. And you're on a...spaceship?

[ooouuuuuch]

Phone home. Phone home phone home!

[scarlet_discord]

...holy crap. Hi.

I wish I could, but I don't know who I would talk to.

[nowdashawayall]

If it isn't little Wanda! Have you been naughty or nice this year?

[scarlet_discord]

...

Um...

[Not gonna lie to Santa.]

Kinda both. Not perfect. Too bitchy and angsty for that.

[nowdashawayall]

But you're being very honest with Father Christmas, Wanda, and honesty is a very good thing, indeed!

What would you like for Christmas?

[scarlet_discord]

Um...

Thanks, Santa. [Very sheepish.]

Can I ask for something for everyone? Because what I'd really like is a good graphic novel section in the Library.

[Freddy's up close and personal with the screen as he investigates it then starts to smack the TV.]

Hey! How'd Wanda get on the TV? [He looks back and shouts:] HEY, TOAD, C'MERE! Your girlfriend's on TV!

VIDEO

[scarlet_discord]

What--?

[She has to think fast through the shock.] Wait--no--fer fuck's sake, Freddy! One, I'm not his girlfriend and two, I gotta talk to you.

VIDEO

[justcake]

[Wait, she's talking back to him? Freddy sputters and backs off from the TV.] W-whoa!

[Then, after a beat, he peers in close.]

How're you talking back? Is this another... [He flutters his fingers, indicating SPOOKY MAGIC.]

[scarlet_discord]

Close enough. Fred. Look. Is Pietro anywhere around? Don't look at him if he's in the room, just tell me.
