[The video starts with a shot of the invitation that she'd received, the writing bold and clear before she tosses the invite down and directs the camera up to her face, which looks entirely unimpressed.]

Tell me I'm not the only one that feels like this is some lame attempt to gather certain people into a specific area for an unknown reason, aka, a fucking trap?

[Someone was feeling especially incapable of trusting anyone from this world or any of the Orbiters. She held up the ring she'd gotten, not wearing it, but showing it.]

And as far as some kind of... compensation for the shit some people went through, this feels pretty weak to me. An invite to a trap-party, a gold coin, and a pretty little bauble, because clearly I'm that easily distracted and easy to appease. They realize that people died during this, don't they? And we're all supposed to just slap a smile on, pull out a dress, and go along with this like this isn't a giant fucking joke?

[There was a look on her face like she was really, really hoping someone would be as salty as she was over this.]

Maybe it's just in my nature to think everyone's out to screw me over, but when I've already been screwed over, and not in the fun way, I'm not exactly feeling inclined to bend over for round two. There have to be other people that think this is shady shit...

[Please tell her there were other people out there that thought this was shady shit.]

[Well, it's kind of comforting to know she isn't the only one feeling paranoid.]

Maybe. Or maybe we are meant to be the bait.

[assholic]

Bait for what? As far as I know, most of the people involved in the original snag job are dead or caught. If they expect to parade the survivors around like a goddamn mouse trap, I'd like to be given the chance for that to be a sign up, not a sneaky bullshit trap.

[seeingscarlet]

Are we sure we got their leaders?

[They were too powerful, too well organized for there not to be someone else pulling the strings. Wanda sighs. What a mess, and of course the odds are great that the people in power are going to make it worse.]

Almost no one would sign up if they did. Not after what happened.

[assholic]

No. I don't remember much after the first couple days. It's all...

[Hazy. Chaotic. A mix between hallucinations and reality, and she hasn't sat down to pick it all apart.]

Someone always survives. That's how it works.

[seeingscarlet]

[And whoever they are, they're the most dangerous of the bunch. Someone had to train the others, after all.]

They messed with your mind?

[assholic]

Mm... yes and no.

[Poisonous creatures biting and stinging her had caused a lot of hallucinations, nausea, and a harder time for her to keep hold of what was real.]
