So, uh, my name is Billy Kaplan.

[And from the looks of it, he's sprawled out on his bed in the communal housing, camera held above him steadily. He makes a face.]

I have no idea what to say about myself. I was a student back home and I know a little magic. [He's a little tentative about that one, but-- he's not sure there's a point in keeping it secret here either.] But marketable skills? I'm not so sure about that one. I guess I need to figure something out though.

[Considering he's going to be here for a while...]

I guess I'm making this to ask what all of you plan to do here? If you have any definite plans at all, I mean.

Consider this a little public service announcement, and my good deed for the day.

[At first it’s just Stephen Strange, looking even more like a magic hobo than he usually does, before he moves the feed to focus on a mini-fridge sitting in the corner of the communal kitchens and wouldn’t be anything to comment on if not for the heavy chains wrapped around it keeping the door shut, or the padlock that really looked like overkill.]

If you see this fridge here, missing its padlock or even worse open and I’m not already there dealing with it? I recommend either finding me, or a flamethrower immediately.

[The mini-fridge, which had been sitting quietly until this point started to shake, the sound of something inside smacking against the door making the chains around it rattle. Stephen came into view just long enough to smack the top of the fridge with the handle of a broom which seemed to startle whatever was inside into silence again.]

It should be in the floor 5 kitchen so if it’s not, even if it’s still locked, you’re going to want to come get me and I’ll deal with it.

And if you value your continued good health don’t eat anything that comes out of this thing.

[ooc: This post takes place on the second day of Sampremi. A log for the feast can be found here. Characters do not have to respond to this post before attending but they can if they like!]

[Between the storm preparations, the monsters at the borders, and exploratory teams trying to get to the bottom of everything, all on top of the strangeness of being pulled into an entirely new reality, Wanda is more than ready for something lighter to focus on. She's been through so much recently both back home and here in Riverview Quarantine that it feels good and fulfilling to come up for air again.

While video posts are not typically her style, it seems the best course for what she has to talk about now. The video opens to show Wanda holding her phone out in front of her. What can be seen of her dress is a dark but colorful floral pattern that contrasts well with her paler skin tone. Her hair is pulled up and away from her face, though a few tendrils escape and dangle down from beneath a thick crown of flowers resting atop her head. With a smudge of flour on her cheek, she offers the camera a faint smile.]

Hello, everyone. For those of you who haven't met me yet, my name is Wanda Maximoff. I'm from Earth, originally from a country called Sokovia. By some coincidence, it's not only a holiday here today but also back home as well. The Feast of Saint Nikolina is a celebration of those who we share a community with. People join their family, friends, and neighbors all throughout the city, bringing homemade dishes, drinks, and flowers to share. I've been cooking and baking since last night, and some of the local restaurants have donated drinks and flowers for the occasion. Anyone who would like to celebrate and feast today is welcome to join. You can bring additional food and drinks if you like, or even just your appetite. I promise, no one will be turned away.

I'll be down in the park just next to the community housing in an hour or so, and will be there until dusk.

[With nothing else to say, the camera jostles just a little as Wanda frees one hand to cut the feed.]
