As she hears the whispers and looks around at the vision caused by Alpha, Wanda quickly snaps back to reality after a short while, then looks at both Alpha and Alderoth. "Well... that was certainly... interesting. I mean, I don't really want any Metatron within me at the moment, but thank you nonetheless for showing me that, Alpha."
Pietro just watches the whole thing for now.

*Engie drone shivers, seeing the same things that the others saw... but it seems to be having a different effect on him. The ground around his feet starts writhing, a few Mechroa tendrils bursting out around him, also shivering...*

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Alderoth blinks, and smiles slightly.
"Well, how did it go for you, exactly?"
Internet's getting screwy, so I might disconnect.

If they just took the time to talk... instead, they're running around setting up an alliance against themselves. At this point, it's gonna end up being "all will be One against Metatron". And that just makes it a pain in the neck for the ones like me. Not to mention shooting themselves in the foot..."
Alpha suddenly realizes Pietro's saying the exact same thing, and shoots him a glance of sudden comprehension.
Then she realizes engie also sync'd into the Metatron resonance she'd "aimed" at Wanda, and looks over at him.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it.""Well... I heard the whispers," Wanda says to Alderoth. "But there was always something of a song playing underneath it all. The buildings all shone with such beautiful light and and the crystalline growths that adorned them only made appear even more magnificent." Then she turns to Alpha. "You're really smart, y'know that, Alpha? Those psychotic cultists could learn a thing or two from you, if they ever bothered to listen to you."
"What? Did you finally realize something?" Pietro asks Alpha. "Is that why you're giving me that look?"

Alderoth nods a bit at Wanda.
"Well... I think it might help you in seeing into my own situation..."
Yet something just felt a little... off as you described it.
Never let Wanda get infected with Metatron, ever. That moment was just creepy.
Karras is right. If we weren't considering the fact that she doesn't really like to get infected yet, she sounded a lot like one of those cultists.
"Yeah..."

I mean, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't try to kill someone for criticism or be all "Metatron or death!!!", but... she was the one who made me realize that if we ran around shoving it in people's faces - or worse - we'd wind up with a terrible rep, whatever the Will said... she didn't want me lotted in with the cultists, either..."
-to Pietro- "Yeah... we're saying the same thing... you're not trying to insult Metatron..."
"Uh... I think he tuned into what I was showing Wanda, but I dunno why it affected him like that..."

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."*Engie drone, still shivering, suddenly stares at Alpha.*
"It's too idealistic... All of it... There's no place for something like me in a world like that..."
*He trails off, occasionally making frightened noises.*
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."Your sister's a smart woman, Alpha," Pietro says to Alpha. "I know you'll be just as great as her someday. And don't worry, I'll be careful when to comes to choosing my words around Metatron."
"What do you mean by that?" Wanda asks Alderoth, raising an eyebrow.

*Engie drone responds by flash-stepping over to Alpha, remaining in the same pose.*
"Look at me."
*He stares upwards to Alpha.*
"A world like that... Like what I saw... It just doesn't work... There's always something wrong with any world..."
*His gaze drifts downwards.*
"Even if it worked, I'm a mass murderer... I'm incompatible with idealism..."
*He continues shivering, then looks upwards again, not-quite-silently pleading for some form of comfort.*
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."Well, since you just experienced what it's like to have Metatron, well, it might help you realise why I'm struggling so much to keep it in control..."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server."You... don't seem much like a psycho..."
"I mean, I don't really know much about you, but..."
She considers making a comment about how it would work, but remembers there are douchebag "enlightened" and great "unenlightened", and decides she needs to think some more about it later.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it.""It's all of those whispers in your head, isn't it?" Wanda asks Alderoth. "If that's the case, then I think I get why you struggle to keep your own Metatron in check so much." She yawns a bit. "I think I'm getting sleepy. What about you, sweetie?"
Pietro just looks on at Alpha and Engie, smiling at the latter.

"Yeah... now that I think about it... I'm also a bit sleepy myself..."
Alderoth looks at Wanda and smiles again at her.
Meanwhile, Rina is exploring the Arena in her Water Sphere...

Engie may be able to detect and synchronize with the extended resonance, despite it being focussed around Wanda, giving him a similar "vision".
