.one. [voice to video]
[The call begins with a woman giving a running commentary without context. When she speaks, her words are tinged with an accent that most could only identify as vaguely Eastern European but a few might recognize as Romani by way of Transia.]
Ah! What the—?! Oh, ick.... I guess that means it’s ... on? Sooo, how do you change to video from— Oh!
[The video function activates and displays the obviously surprised face of a young woman in a red hooded cloak. Her shocked expression quickly turns to one of triumph.]
Hold on. [She holds up a hand, gesturing for the viewer to have patience.] Give me a moment.
[The video displays blurry flashes of a wall, a bedspread, something red, a ceiling, and a wall again. Finally it settles once more on the woman, who has evidently decided to push back the hood of her cloak, revealing dark brown hair and a red tiara. Now that the video feed is stationary, it clearly shows her sitting cross-legged at the head of a bed in what appears to be a starter apartment.]
Hello! [She smiles sweetly and gives the camera a little wave of her fingers.] I’m new here, but you’ve probably already figured that out. [She makes a self-deprecating face.]
I’ve read through the welcome packages. So, I think I have a pretty good grasp of what’s going on. And, to be honest, this sort of thing [she gestures vaguely] has pretty much been my life recently. [The woman shrugs and offers a cryptic smile but provides no further explanation.]
Anyway, no need to go into all of that. But I could still use your help! [She perks up as the subject changes.] Unfortunately, I’m currently stuck wearing my Avengers costume, which is not appropriate for everyday wear. [The woman glances down at herself in mock dismay.] And, it’s definitely not warm enough for the weather at the moment! [As if to highlight her point, she uses one hand to draw the two sides of her cloak together and hunches slightly inward.]
Can anyone tell me the best place to get some clothes, hopefully from a charity or on credit of some kind? I don’t have any money at the moment. [She looks very apologetic.] But I’d pay for them as soon as I could! I truly appreciate any help, and I promise to repay the favor.
[The smiling woman gives a small nod in confirmation before moving out of frame. The video shows the ceiling for a few seconds before her face suddenly reappears.]
Oh, right, where are my manners? You don’t even know my name! It’s Wanda Maximoff. Thank you!
[And she’s gone … again. However, her voice can be heard off screen.]
Okay. You can hang up now, Tallus.
[The call ends.]
Re: video;
If you don't mind my asking, what is your name?

Re: video;
Hi, Haruhi! I'm afraid it'll also take me a while to get settled and restock my wardrobe. [No money. Sob! But, hey, eventually there will be major clothes shopping. Yesss!]
Um, I don't mean to be rude, but how old are you? [She backtracks immediately.] Oh, never mind. Don't answer that in public. I'm just a little surprised by the youthful ages of some of the people on this network. I hope you're not alone! [And unsupervised. That would be awful! Loki can take care of himself. But regular children and teens? They need a mom!]

Oh, it doesn't matter if I say it. I'm 17! And it doesn't really matter, tons of people here are teenagers. It's not like we can help it.
Re: video;
Oh, I didn't realize it was so common! I guess it's okay as long as everyone is taken care of.
