dr. horrible's sing-along blog - penny

1 [voice]

[Maybe the amplified ticking that only just stopped had gotten to her. Maybe the reality of her situation took five days to hit home. Whatever the reason, Penny doesn't sound particularly chipper. One might go so far as to say that she sounds outright shocked.]

Oh my god. This is all completely real, isn't it? Not just the City, but all of it. What Hammer said, the death ray, Billy, dying, coming here... all of that actually happened.

The City and the dying--that I can deal with. Death happens like everything else, right? But Billy's a supervillain... a real villain with a death ray and everything. And Hammer's supposed to be a hero and he actually told everyone that we slept--oh god. Laundromat-frozen yogurt-shy Billy has a death ray and Captain Hammer's a total... a total jerkface, and he never did care about the homeless, and why does that bother me more than Billy being Dr. Horrible? But Billy--Dr. Horrible--didn't actually shoot anyone, and Hammer made the death ray explode...

And then--

[There's a long pause, but the recording continues. Penny's quieter when she speaks again, as if she's not talking directly into her network device.]

That really happened. All of that happened.

Billy's sweet and a supervillain, Hammer's--and then what happened to the shelter when the death ray exploded? Who else...?

[Another pause. This time the pause stretches into silence until the device times out.]

[And there it is.]

You don't get to know. That's what death is: the point at which you hand your influence over to others.

[It's a quiet response, not especially gentle, not at all harsh.]

Have you eaten, today?

I just wish I could know if everyone else was okay.

[What does eating have to do with anything?]

I think so? Maybe. ...No, not really.

I know.

[Here's what it has to do with everything, Penny. He suspects you prefer to be a helper over an inconvenience.]

I finally have a break, but it's much easier to justify getting out of the hospital if I'm meeting someone. Reckon you could put up with a stranger for an hour?

[He also doesn't underestimate the calming potential of quick release carbs.]

What are you going on about, exactly?

I'm so sorry--I sound completely crazy, don't I? There're just some things that happened at home before... you know, before the City. Just ignore me, I'm sorry.

Has someone taught you how to privately filter?

Are you alright, Miss?

Fine! Fine, completely. [This is a lie. It's not a very convincing one.] Just... things, happening all at once. I mean, they happened all at once days ago, but I could just act like it wasn't real...

Are you sure? [Amanda just has to ask again even though she knows better.]

You could pretend but it still happened. People are...I'm just very sorry to hear that you had to go through all that. That's not easy. This Billy is a friend?

A death ray?

Penny....are you okay?

Bil--Dr. Horrible had this death ray, only it didn't work and things happened and I can't believe Billy's a villain because he's so much sweeter than Captain Hammer and I'm so sorry I told you all of that because you probably think I'm completely crazy now.

[Aaaaand a pause to breathe.]

Yeah. Yes. I'm okay, Steve. Everything's okay.

Take a deep breath, in and out. Sounds like you're in shock.

Shock? Shouldn't that have happened when everything--when all of that--happened?

No, I'm sorry. Deep breaths. Everything's fine; sorry for bothering you.

[Yeah there's absolutely no comprehension on anything Penny has said because...it's PENNY.]

PENNY?

OMG

PENNY! PENNYPENNYPENNY! IT'S YOU

What? What'd I do?

[Normally, Penny would take this sort of thing in stride. This, however, is not normally, and the enthusiastic greeting is momentarily misunderstood.]

Oh--um. Sorry. Really, I'm so, so sorry, but we've met? I mean, I'd believe that we've met because there are a lot of people who've met me that I don't remember, but it's nice to meet you anyway?

[Sorry, Lucy. Caught her at a bad time.]

For what it's worth, Captain Hammer definitely is an asshole.

Uh...he was here, at one point.

But he seemed like such a sweet guy after the cheesy first impression. I mean, he's the reason Caring Hands got a new building and he went to the park with me even though he's afraid of the ducks there, but then he just told everyone we--

...No, he really is a jerk. I'm so stupid!

[pause]

You remember me today, right?

[While he may have expected something like this, it doesn't lessen his concern.]

People never are simple.

If you want to talk - or if you don't, and you just want company, I would be more than happy to put off this paperwork.

No, but I was so, so wrong about everything...

You're too sweet, Wilson, really. Doctor paperwork's important, though.

It wasn't that weird until Captain Hammer saved me and Billy and I started talking.

Penny! How- [rather long pause] lovely? To see you, I mean. Again.

I see your memory has improved.

[OoC: omg, I am SO sorry, I just got my accounts set up, and the move to DW has me a little confused, but hi, it's so nice to meet you! If backdating isn't okay, you can just ignore this comment.]

[Oh shi--she totally didn't call him a jerkface in public. Seriously.]

Hammer! It's... [surprising? mildly uncomfortable? kind of weird?] ...great to see you, too!

My memory? Oh, no. It's awful and all of these people know me and I don't know them and it's seriously awkward, but no one's been too offended. How're you doing? You look... like you. I mean, good. With the muscles.

[ooc: asl;kdjfasl;kdfj I'm just glad you're here! Of course backdating is good!]
