Hey, everyone who's new! Don't freak out, okay? You're in the City and it's a weird place, but you probably won't be here for very long and almost everyone's really nice. Oh, and time stops in your world when you leave it, so it's completely okay if you were in the middle of something. You should plan on being here through tomorrow sometime, so if you can find some friends who'll lend you a couch, that'd be a good idea. If you don't have anyone, look for the buildings with the signs that say "The Welcome Center" or "The Youth Center." We have some beds in both places, and no, you don't have to be a kid to stop by the Youth Center. Curses're special that way.

Both buildings'll be offering free food and drinks for as long as possible. Sorry for anyone who was waiting early this morning; these curses don't exactly come with warnings, so it took a while to get everything together.

Anyway! My name's Penny and I'd be happy to help you out if you have any questions or need anything. You can either talk to me by using the video-thingy you're watching this on--there should be a button that says record reply or something like that--or, if you see me around, give me a shout. I hope you have a good time!

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE CITY: Thank you so so much to everyone who's been stepping up and helping out! Quadruple thanks to you restaurant and cafe owners. You guys are the best. But even with all this help we're still completely swamped so if you feel like helping and you're not already signed up with one of the Centers, we could really use you.

And if anyone's interested in helping to run either the Welcome Center or the Youth Center, please please please let me know! Thank you! ♥

[Penny is all over the City's main square, trying to oversee both centers while running errands and trying to be helpful. She may or may not be carting meals, bedding, or other sundry goods. Tumbles, a half-collie mix, might be following her around. Whatever she's doing, though, she's genuinely eager to lend a hand to anyone with a question.]

[ooc: Anything goes, fourth wall as you like, and please forgive delays on my end!]

[ A tall androgynous person is offering Penny a bagel, smiling. ]

You look like you don't have time to get away for a meal.

It's just for a couple days, then the City'll go back to being a little less crazy.

[There have been stranger people around here. Most of them weren't handing out food and, now that the topic's been brought up, a bagel would be pretty amazing...]

I haven't, really, but I can't just take food away from you.

No, please, take it. Eyes bigger than my stomach today. [ Haruka smiles. ] You remind me of a friend. She always wants to help everyone.

Then thank you--thank you so much. [She accepts the bagel with one hand and offers the other to shake.] I'm Penny.

[After meeting someone with her face today, she doesn't want to comment on any "you remind me of a friend" statements. That friend could be another her, and her brain can't take too much more of that.]

[ Haruka shakes her hand, but then offers a bow. ] Haruka Tenoh. It's nice to meet you, Penny.

[ Lucky for Penny, this isn't a case of mistaken identity. Just the fact that Penny is as sweet and cheerful as Sailor Moon. ]

It's great to meet you too, Haruka.

[Ever keen on being culturally sensitive, Penny imitates the bow. Probably not well, but it's the thought that counts, right?]

Is this your first time in the City?

[ Aww, Penny is nice. A smile tugs at the corner of Haruka's mouth. ]

Seems to be. But don't worry about me, I'm well-traveled. Although -- [ she looks around. ] It might be nice to know what country this is. I didn't get my passport stamped.

[To be fair, Haruka was nice first.

And "well-traveled" doesn't usually include other dimensions, right?]

You know, I don't really think it is a country... or if it is, no one's said what it is. I think it's more like the United States than anywhere else...?
