[The post is in text, because he can't imagine trying to discuss this with words or, even less, video. He's not really prepared for that. But he needs to ask.]

I know this is kind of a sensitive topic, but hopefully it's not too much to ask.

Did anyone else here die right before they arrived?

Oh, sorry, yes. It's Wanda.

[She didn't choose an obvious name like Eddie.]

Are you sure you were dead and not just...very seriously injured?

[causational]

'Scarlet' didn't seem like Curtis, and you were the only other person I mentioned that too.

I'm pretty sure I was dead, at least for a few moments.

My guess is they were able to revive me and fix what was wrong with me once I got here?

[divulsion]

Scarlet is...something of a nickname back home.

[One she's rather discuss in person rather than over the network for all to see. She doesn't hide her powers here, but she doesn't want to advertise what she is blatantly if it can be helped. Private more often than not, it gives her a sense of control to determine how much information about herself goes out and to who.]

I'm so sorry, Eddie. That must have been awful. I'm glad they were able to bring you back, even if it could only be done here instead of your world.

[She wonders if Pietro might be brought back here as well, if somehow he could be rescued. It's impossible not to think about it, knowing now that it's possible but it's not a fully formed thought. Not enough to distract her from the conversation at hand.]

It's a second chance, right? I won't be taking that offer of a trip home, though, that's for sure. For a lot of reasons.

I guess I was just wondering if I was the only one. So far, it seems like I am.

[divulsion]

Then you really do mean to make this place your home, just as they've offered us all.

[Wanda hadn't considered choosing this as her home, not with things to get back to, but she supposes it makes sense that it's a viable option for some. A preferable option.]

You may be the first but I would be surprised if you remain the only one. Surely there are others in a similar situation.

[causational]

Yeah, it's either stay here or go back to being dead. I guess there had to be at least one case where they didn't mess up with who they brought.

I can't say I hope you're right, not really. But it would be kind of nice to not be the only one.

[divulsion]

[Wanda prudently doesn't comment on how easily he seems to be talking about his death. How...matter of fact he appears to be about his own demise. She wonders if Pietro would be the same if he were to appear here.

She wants to share as much, but knowing this is a public network makes her reluctant to speak so openly.

Instead, she decides to send him a message directly.]
