"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.]

[ she produces a handkerchief from her pocket. she offers it, folded between two fingers. ] Who have you told?
Action
[Yet. Her meeting with Steve and a few others in the cargo bay would come later, followed by her conversation with Max in the Starstruck's kitchen.]
[She does accept the handkerchief, but, at first, she just kind of holds it. Not even really looking at it. Though she does use it to wipe a few errant tears that start to descend.]
Can I... How do I keep going on after something like this happens? I can't pretend it did not happen. So how... how do I address something like this and move forward?
[She speaks the question out loud, though not even sure Peggy can provide her an answer.]
Action
Hide it, and you'll never move forward.
Action
So, should I-- this scar, it's not exactly pleasant to look at. Is it really okay for it to be visible?
[It's less a question about appearances and the opinions of other's thereof, and more about... well, Wanda did not want to draw a lot of unwanted attention to herself. People would want to know how she acquired it, and the thought of tell its story over and over again was not appealing to her.]
[She knows Peggy has just said not to hide it, but... still, having to recount the events behind it over and over made Wanda feel ill.]
