the cold never bothered me anyway

Who: Wanda Maximoff and you!
Broadcast: No
Action: Yes, planetside
When: Throughout December

i. hot springs
[Oh, she could very happily stay here forever. The warmth of the water feels amazing and even her powers feel calm and refreshed. Wanda spends much of her time here, stretched out in the water with a tablet and almost the most relaxed she's ever felt.

She looks up from her reading at approaching footsteps and waves, flashing a lazy smile. This might be the happiest most people have seen her.]

ii. deck the halls
[Wanda's easily swept up in the preparations for the daily festivities - if she's not helping put decorations somewhere that can't be reached without a ladder, she's probably working in a kitchen, swapping recipes with the natives and doing a little experimentation of her own.

Maybe she's approached you for your opinion on the upper levels of a tree, or maybe she's holding out some sort of berry pastry she made in collaboration with her partner today.]

What do you think?

iii. let it go
[The tree is beautiful and even the air here feels oddly charged. It's electric, making something deep inside her thrum in time with the musical tones. Even her power stirs within her, turning her green eyes a softly glowing red.

Wanda lays a hand on it and involuntarily scarlet glows from her fingertips in response. Maybe she should be concerned that it has such a strong effect on her, but everything feels so joyful here.]

It is real, [she says in hushed, awed tones.] I wonder if the other stories about it were true.

iv. wild card!
[You know what to do. Hit me up at dontyousonicme

Finally they take us somewhere nice. I hope we get to stay here for a while.

[She smiles, putting her reading aside.]

How have you been?

[sassy_assassin]

It's a nice break. I'd like for some particular familiar faces to be here with me, but I guess I'll live.

[ she leans back, relaxing ]

I've been pretty fine. The same, really. Nothing too exciting in my life.

You?

[seeingscarlet]

Good. My powers feel different here, but it's a nice different.

[She stretches.]

And the holidays here are different enough that it's a little easier. It doesn't hurt so much.

[sassy_assassin]

Different how?

[ she settles in, putting her head back and closing her eyes ]

You normally do anything fun for the holidays?

[seeingscarlet]

Like they're more awake? More natural? Like I think they would have if I was born with them. It's...a little hard to explain.

[She smiles sheepishly. None of the languages she knows are equipped to describe her extra senses.]

Pietro and I used to go to the Christmas markets. Even if you aren't actually celebrating, it's fun.
