[ Here's a face that hasn't been around in a few months. She's back, with her memories intact and a few new ones from hopping around the multiverse a little more. There's no preamble or pretense when she starts to speak, though — more abrupt than not. ]

Sooooooooooo. Who wants to catch me up on the last four or five months? Looks like I've missed An Ordeal. Very likely more than one.

[ Was that luck or un-luck? There's no real flippancy to her tone, she just likes getting to the point of things, especially now. ]

Secondly, roll call for my family, please, of any universe of origin — just let me know if you're still here and who I have to slap into the next multiverse for doing something shitty to you while I was M-I-A.

[ She might be a little protective ok. ]

And in conclusion, for any new faces here since I've been gone, I guess: Hi, I'm Lorna Dane, I've been told I have a magnetic personality.

[ JOKES. There's a slightly cheesy smile as she cuts the feed. ]

Having encountered a living, mutant island once before — which attacked my team, and that I eventually flung into space — that sounds pretty normal, actually.

[ Lorna, your definition of "normal" is absolutely fucked up. ]

So, baby planet equals power in the form of some sort of portal-esque thing equals someone who must have control and oversight of that portal equals probably someone pissed off and those of us brought here with a bigger mystery.

[Wanda just sort of stares at Lorna's image on the communicator for a long moment, because what else can she do?]

You definitely live in the 'interesting' version of our world. It almost sounds like this should be a vacation.

[Friendly baby singing planets, scary living islands...pick your poison.]

[geomagnetically]

I'd call it a 'hot mess', but 'interesting' works too; and I swear I jinx myself every time I even think of a vacation. [ A soft breath of a laugh. ]

You should tell me more about your version of the world sometime? I'm sure you've heard more about where I'm from, from Billy and Tommy.

[ The ghost of a shadow passes over Wanda's expression. ]

I...it does not make a very good story. My world is...missing many of the things that you know. [Like Pietro being alive, for one.] There are no mutants in my world. I would not call it 'boring,' but...

[geomagnetically]

My world isn't that great of a story, either, all things considered. But there are things I like about it, and miss about it, and I'm sure you have things like that to say about yours. If it's something you'd rather not talk about, I won't push, obviously, but I'm always here to talk about anything or nothing.
