First things first, I guess, so... sorry for not being around. On the network, I mean, since I've been all over the City. Physically. And not all over, mostly just around the Centers, but still--not on the network. Sometimes I forget it's here, you know?

Plus, having conversations with someone who'll talk back? Way more fun than talking to myself.

Second, I know things've been rough lately. Not so much curse-wise, but it seems like almost everyone's had someone important to them leave the City. I haven't been here as long as a bunch of people--well, that I can remember--so I can't say that losing people gets any easier. What I can say is that things'll be okay. Maybe not now, maybe not soon, but they'll look up eventually.

So if you've had a friend or a loved one leave and you're hurting or upset or a little bit of both, just try to remember that things won't always be the way they are now. You can fall in love more than once, and that thing people say about strangers just being friends you haven't met yet? Totally true. There're plenty of people in this giant city, so you don't need to be alone. ...I mean, unless you like being alone. That's completely okay. But if you're not a fan of being alone...

And if you don't know where to start looking for friends, my name's Penny. I'm all for meeting people.

Side note: there're fresh cookies at the Welcome Center. Like, haven't-been-out-of-the-oven-for-more-than-half-an-hour fresh. If you're around, go ahead and help yourself!

[ooc: SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT! If your character either volunteers at or stays at the Welcome Center or Youth Center, there's a community for that! Guess what? There's a meme, too! Please visit. I'm very lonely.]

[You had Andy at cookies and he will be happily taking some, thank you very much.]

I don't know. [munch munch munch] You'd think people would be happy that their friends are going home. It sucks, but I'd rather be at home than here, so... [shrugs]

[Oh, good! Then the cookies really are a good way to reel people in on a lonely day!]

You'd think, but it's really easy to become selfish about that. And then some people don't want to go home, and others don't have anywhere to go...

Are you homesick, Andy? I know I was.

Yeah, that makes sense, I guess... If there's nothing else to go back to. Still, making a life here has to be a heck of a time.

...A little bit. A lot, actually. I know you go back to right when you left, but I still can't help but think that my parents and family are worried sick about me.

Are you doing okay yourself, Penny?

Sophie, hey! I'm so, so sorry that I haven't talked to you or anything lately. Seriously, worst friend ever.

And I'm great! [That might be a lie.] How about you? Have you been hit by the leaving-plague?
