"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.]

On Krypton, we believed that those who died a warrior's death would live eternal in Rao's light.

[Natasha had noticed Wanda's absence. She's let the girl have her space considering that they aren't all that close, but when Wanda resurfaces she notices and she responds.]

What brings on that question?

[Natasha doesn't volunteer an answer; she doubts it's one anyone will enjoy.]

Well, I think the term "warrior" has a lot of definitions, not always just in a battle sense. But those who betray Rao's wishes... they are left in the dark.

Okay. Fair enough.

I guess I always just figured the dead were dead.

back home most people believe that if your soul still has more to do, you come back in a new life, whatever that is. but if not then you stay with the goddess in paradise

dunno what i think personally. i guess i should think about it more

I'm not sure. My education tells me what happens medically, but otherwise... it's a big question mark.

What brought this on?

Meaning the living keep going.

i guess it depends? like if your soul really wants to make a difference in the world or something then i guess you'd rather go back and do stuff than just go straight to paradise and be done, but if you think you're done then yeah paradise is probably better...

Well... if they were dishonorable in their life, or the proper steps aren't taken, then that would be the result...

To be honest, the Raoist scholars are long dead. I know what I remember, but obviously the people of Earth have different impulses?

Why do you ask?

I didn't say that.

I guess what I'm saying is that I try not to over-complicate it. The dead are dead, and nothing I do one way or another is going to affect that.

I think that if the living carry the dead with them, that's about the living.

It may be different for other peoples' worlds, but in my own, peoples' souls move on to the afterlife.

Yeah. Maybe we'll find out some day, but there's no way to prove it. Faith and belief can guide others' ideas, though.

[There's a similar pause before she responds:]

Need to get away for a bit? We can at least ride a shuttle around.

When you die, you go to the Underworld.

I've been there. It's unpleasant.

[That isn't a good sign. She drums her fingers on the table for a moment, chewing her lip in thought. When she replies again, it's in text.]

Anything I can do?

That's the big question, isn't it? [ ... ] I wish I had a good answer.

How do you suppose "death" is defined?
