Who: wanda maximoff and YOU
When: days prior to event
Where: around town, flophouse
Summary: doing a little exploring, some housekeeping, meeting people
Warnings: none atm!
A. GOOD HARBOR BEACH
[so they can't use magic.
ever since she came to learn to use her powers, magic was like second nature to her—it just didn't feel right to not be able to have the swathes of red fulfill whatever she commanded it to do.
now, she's been here for a few hours in quiet contemplation, until she got the urge to hop her way towards salt island, using the land bridge formed because of the low tide. this, however, she did not realize was because of the tides. now, annoyance has her squatting on the edge of salt island, hugging her arms around her knees, waiting for the tide to lower again. if only she could do magic without restriction, she would fly back to the beach, or even will down the tide.
hopefully no one shows up to witness her current problem. and yes, she would rather wait for the tide to lower than to swim, thanks.]
B. BONNIE'S FLOPHOUSE
[what bonnie wants in exchange of not having to pay rent is, actually, pretty sensible. wanda has no problems with that, and although she would rather just have a place of her own—she can't exactly twirl her fingers and have it happen—the flophouse is growing on her. even with all the little flaws it has.
not really wanting to worry about the cleaning or repairing, she sets about in helping with the cooking. it's a little bit of a relaxing, mindless activity, and although she has little to work with, wanda can think of a couple of dishes from her home that could feed plenty.
soon, the smell of food wafts throughout the floors of the building. as wanda's finishing up and setting plates down for anyone who would like to come down into communal area to get themselves some early supper. it's not much, really, but she's managed a pot of beef and onion stew and several stuffed cabbages filled with minced meat and rice. she reclines against the counter with a bowl of soup in her hand, and keeping an eye out for anyone who ventures in.
easy way to meet the neighbors, right?]
C. MIDNIGHT CINEMA
[the cinema does catch her attention almost immediately. the architecture of the place is rather difficult to ignore, and there is some kind of allure to it. and though it seems inviting and wanda has seen people go inside, she doesn't know if she wants to go in.
when is the last time she even saw a movie?
as if changing her mind halfway through her walking up the path to the entrance, wanda abruptly turns around to head back into the street—]
Sorry.
[—and walks right into someone.]
I didn't see you.

INLAND EMPIRE [Challenging: Success] - People fear the unknown; not only in what they can't see, but what they can. You've never met a witch, but those people who fear her... are they right to do so? You can't be sure. ]
No problem, Wanda. [ he stands, a little abruptly, and looks to the table. ] I'm going to try some of that stew.
[ he takes a step over, stops, then turns back to her. ]
Did you use magic to make the food too?
no subject
You should.
[it's a really good stew, if she says so herself. she has to keep herself from laughing at the question.]
Nope. That one's pure normal skill.
no subject
Well, if there's any leftover after other people get their share let me know. [ he fills his bowl up, making sure to get chunks of meat in, and then returns to sit. ] Food shouldn't go to waste, more so when it's as good as yours.
[ RHETORIC [Challenging: Successful] - Hm. Are there any people in this town who could use a meal? Perhaps the working class, or the homeless? Leftovers could be shared with them. Just a thought. (A communist thought.) ]
no subject
[it's nice to think that someone appreciates her food enough that they want to come back for more. she doesn't know how many people will actually take up the offer of free food, but harry's requests warms her heart.]
What apartment are you in? Maybe I can drop off a bowl after I'm done cleaning up later today.
