"My mind's like a deadly disease..."
Who: Wanda Maximoff
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Starstruck
When: Now
Broadcast - Text
[Wanda's presence, both in the Fleet's comms and aboard its vessels, has dwindled, slowly but surely, over the course of the past month. There was period of time, around the beginning of the month, when she couldn't be found or reached at all--save for by Misty, Vision and Pietro. More perceptive fleet members might recall that her disappearance occurred around the time that rumors of a dragon and its rider terrorizing Solrius were circulating about. However, she did pop back up a little while later, seemingly as though nothing was wrong. However, those that know her well may have picked up the subtle tells that there was something she was not saying. Something that she was trying to bury. And so, she became more and more scarce around the Fleet. At least, until now...]
What do you think happens after death?
[The message is short and simple. Anyone familiar with the festivities of the month of October, perhaps this is simply her way of trying to get into the spirit of things?]
Starstruck - Action
[Friends and shipmates of Wanda's, if they want to go looking for her, will find her either holed up in her bunkroom aboard the Starstruck, or in a corner of the ship's kitchen or shuttle bay at times she thinks no one would typically wander in. By the look on her face, it is clear something is troubling her.]

Action
Not anyone else, no.
[There's something about that answer that comes off as not a little foreboding.]
Action
It's a tough moral dilemma. When I became a doctor, I took an oath to heal, but also to never deliberately cause harm to another person. But the real world doesn't always make situations as clear cut as we'd like.

In my mind, there's a difference between the kind of pain caused over the course of healing someone, and the kind of pain that's deliberate- inflicted for the sake of pain and injury. I have a big distaste for the latter. Ideally, I'd be able to fix people without them feeling it at all, but that's not practical, either.
no subject
So sometimes pain is simply... necessary...
[She sighs, knowing that there is natural truth to those words. Yet, it still doesn't fully abate this lingering concern hanging over her.]
For someone to die and then be brought back... if it was done by those that loved them... does that make it all right for them to keep going like nothing has happened?
no subject
[Jennifer paused again at that question, looking pensive.]
Thing is, I'm not sure you CAN go on like nothing happened. Like, going back to what happened to Carson... we worked together just fine, he went off to travel to different planets and carried on as a doctor, but... we knew he wasn't the same person, in a sense. I can't imagine how it felt from HIS perspective. He took it well as far as I could see. So there is a sense of normalcy afterward, but it's... it's not the same "normal" you had before.
no subject
Do I seem "normal" to you?
[The question is delivered so blunt and so flat that it's heard to read how exactly Wanda meant for it to come off. It doesn't help that she seems to now be deliberately avoiding meeting Jennifer's gaze.]

Does that mean you still think of me as the same Wanda?
