Who: Wanda Maximoff
Broadcast: Yes
Action: A music store in Relnyx
When: Today
Look at this!
[Yes, there are little wisps of red at the edges of the feed. No, your communicator's not broken. Wanda's just holding hers aloft with her powers to show a good look at the instrument in front of her. It looks like a theremin, or what would pass for one in this corner of the universe. The vertical antenna is instead a spiral with lights that slowly shift colors, and the entire thing is a shiny chrome.
Wanda moves her hand (the one that isn't glowing for good measure) over the horizontal antenna and it makes a sound not unlike a synthesized string section. The notes change as her hand position does, and while it's not a particular melody, Wanda clearly thinks it's very cool.
She does the same thing with the other hand, and the space beside the vertical antenna almost sings. Someone offscreen says something to her, and when Wanda changes her technique to include vibrato it sounds like a very good synthesized voice.]
--like this? [Apparently the answer is 'yes,' because Wanda grins and turns back to the camera.] They have so many strange instruments here, but I've never seen one like this.
It is not what I'm used to, but it would be something to do while we drift.

Will you be bringing one back to the ship?

They have a simpler one but I think this one has more possibilities. Two people could play it if we wanted to.

I believe there are some places on the Iskaulit with good acoustic properties, if our own cargo bay is not to your liking.

[And she is not going to complain if they start collecting instruments. The more the merrier.]

[She shrugs.]
I would rather make a place we can use than let it stay empty.

Then is there anything you would want the room to have?

Makie blinks, taken aback by the question. But she gives it due thought.]
Cushions, perhaps. Not necessarily luxurious ones; some instruments are meant to be played on the knees.
no subject
[A beat.] I hope one day we can play something together, when I'm better with this.
