Hey there!

[Penny is, of course, situated in the Welcome Center.  There are a handful of people milling about behind her, but it still seems relatively quiet.]So... welcome to the City! I'd guess some of you've been here before, right? And some of you lived here? Welcome back, and I hope you'll be able to find whoever you're looking for. If ( Read more... )

You know the day's going to be interesting when your reflection starts talking to you when you're brushing your teeth.  I don't know exactly what's going on here, but I'm thinking it's safe to say that today?  Mirrors are bad.

I'd like to clear up a few things, too.  If you saw me during the curse where everyone was speaking French, that wasn't ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot about the Welcome Center since Emma--Miss Woodhouse, sorry--made some suggestions about it.  Some of her ideas were really strange, but it's so great that she's excited about making things better around here.  I don't think I've ever met anyone with that kind of enthusiasm.

[pause]  But the Center.  Right.  I was wondering ( Read more... )

[The video has a hand-held, Blair Witch quality to it, as Penny is making this entry while walking through Xanadu. The snowy garden is visible behind her (if, that is, you can see it past her outrageous outfit, which consists of a snowflake sweater with a bright blue winter coat over it, rainbow gloves, two scarves, and a fuzzy gray hat with ear ( Read more... )

It's snowing!  First white Christmas ever, which makes it about a hundred times better than most Christmases and most Christmases are pretty awesome, so that's definitely an achievement.  It's really weird, not being at home for the holiday.  I feel like I should be dishing out soup or something.

[A pause for reflection.  Not a long one, as a long ( Read more... )

Okay. So for most of the day? Everything electronic I went near either stopped working, fizzled out, or exploded (except the network thing, but I think it's probably magic or something). Things exploding... this is becoming a theme ( Read more... )

[The network device reveals Penny, looking rather distraught, sitting at a table with one of the dreaded boxes. She addresses the network while watching the box carefully as if it's going to spring up and attack her.]

Why's this happening?

[She gives the box a look. Perhaps she expects it to explain itself.]It's just a button. Just a ( Read more... )

Look! A day without curses or people being killed! It feels like that doesn't happen too often anymore ( Read more... )

[The entry begins--perhaps not surprisingly, to those who have known Penny for a time--in the middle of a musical number. A rather downbeat musical number, no less.]

--say there's a better tomorrow
At the end of every day--
A ray of light down every tunnel,
A smile for every sorrow,
A happy tune to follow every note that pulls our hope astray.

But ( Read more... )

[Penny has, it appears, decided to dress for the holiday (sans staff and, truthfully, the outfit has more of a homemade slap-dash look to it). It's the thought that counts, though, and Billy did imply that she could be a superhero. Only without powers... or anything else super.

At least the boots are cute.]

Hey! Happy Halloween to anyone who ( Read more... )
