[Seven is performing scans of the deck, she's armed with a phaser. Her tricorder picks up the energy of her magic and she looks up curiously. There's an awkward pause before she speaks.] Ms. Wanda. Are you all right?

[scarlet_discord]

No. [Her tone is distracted as she keeps walking.] I'm constantly in danger from this or that, no one takes me seriously, the Wardens failed me completely, the one guy who claimed to love me just kidnapped me, my Warden won't give me the power I need to ensure my safety here, and now some gigantic rotten schwanz has called for a witch hunt because of some spooky crap happening. I am about as fucking far from all right as I could be without bleeding from every orifice.

But thanks for asking.

[not_annika]

[The tricorder closes.] I am taking you seriously. You feel at risk?

[scarlet_discord]

Since coming here I have been chased by dinosaurs, turned into an old woman, forced to become my evil self and do things I never would, nearly exsanguinated, sexually harassed by a guy who scares the crap out of me, and kidnapped and held for two days by someone I thought was a friend. Yes. I feel at risk.

[Sirius, restless and unable to sleep much since his return from Azkaban, has taken to roaming the Barge at odd hours in dog form. Usually, he goes to the deck or the CES, but lately the deck creeps him out in both forms. Today, he's just wandering, and when he comes across Wanda in a random corridor, he comes to a halt and tilts his dog head slightly to one side.]

[Wanda is eyeing the cabin doors.] Maybe I should start listening at them to see if he's in there. [There has to be a way to get at the little worm. There has to be a way.]

[She looks up and sees the dog, and sighs quietly, rasping] Hi.

[sirius_is_a_dog]

Sirius immediately shifts into human form. Knowing it's a dumb question, because one only needs to take half a look into her eyes, and half a look at her sparking hands, he asks it anyway. "Are you alright?"

[scarlet_discord]

She shakes her head, jaw set. "I'm going to find Crane and hex him into next week. Then maybe I can start getting some respect around here."

[Arthas stops dead when he sees her.]

What?

[What's going on, where are you going, who hurt you?]

I don't suppose you've seen Crane around here? I'm going to curbstomp him and he's hiding somewhere.

[darknessb4me]

No. What did he say this time?

[scarlet_discord]

He blamed magical people for the disturbances and suggested we all be locked in zero. I am going to hex him immobile and break his face with my bootheels.

[Rex is lurking in a common room, fiddling with the innards of the television, harvesting it for small parts that he can use to make Wanda's weapons. Nothing to make the TV stop working, just... little things. Once he hears footsteps, he quickly pockets his findings and shoves the TV back in place. Cautiously, he peers out to see--]

Wanda? [With sparking hands.]

Hi Rex. I don't suppose you've seen Crane skulking around here anywhere, have you?

[He shakes his head.] No. Why? [He's been so wrapped up in scavenging that he hasn't had a chance to check the Network.]

Crane happened. I swore I wouldn't take any more bullying shit from anyone. I'm going to find him and then I'm going to beat him until he can't talk anymore.

[scarlet_discord]

[She stops, expression sullen.] There is no place on this entire crap-hauler that will make me feel comfortable. That's been seen to.

Just tell me what you want. [Her voice is cold and defensive.]

[scarlet_discord]

I'm short on those right now. I used to have a whole bunch of people I thought were in my corner, but they're conspicuously absent when I need them most.

[She scowls.]

Let me guess. You're here to convince me that it's Not Very Nice to kick his ass up between his teeth no matter how desperately he deserves it.

...I don't know if you've been following current events, but being nice hasn't done anything but make me a victim here.
