Things've been rough, haven't they? I didn't get caught up in the worst of the curses we've had lately; I'm sorry for those who have.

Anyway... a lot of people have been leaving, too, which means the Welcome Center and the Youth Center are both seriously short-staffed. This probably isn't the best time to send out a call for workers, but there's never a good time when you're getting hit with curse after curse, you know? I'm not giving the Youth Center the attention it deserves, so I'm also looking for someone to help out over there. It'd be a big time commitment, but the pay's not bad and it's not a hard job.

So... if you're looking for a job, I can find one for you.

[A tired sigh.]

I wish Euphie and Derek Morgan were still around to help. Yin, too... she was getting really good at greeting people. And if I could bring back Dean, Stephen, Curt, Jenny, Sophie, Toph--but they're probably happier where they are, and I wouldn't want to take that away from them. I hope they're happy, and I hope that hoping for their happiness counts when they're all in different dimensions and they don't remember the City. At least they're remembered, and that's something.

[Sniff. Shut up, it's allergies.]

Sorry. Late night... rambly stuff. Back on topic. Jobs: if you want one, don't be afraid to get in touch with me.

And if you're newish to the City and haven't been by the Welcome Center, we're right off the center square. The Youth Center's down about a block; anyone who's too young to live alone or just wants company can get a room there. We've got food and spare clothes at both locations, and if you ever need anything at all, just head to the Welcome Center and ask for Penny.

[A pause, some shuffling...]

Is it raining...?

[...and end audio message.]

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 your 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!

So... um. I'm sure most everyone's noticed by now, but Derek Morgan left the City.

[There is a pause. If silence could speak, this particular silence would say, "And that sucks. A lot."]

That means the Youth Center doesn't have a keeper and no one's teaching self-defense classes anymore. Is there anyone out there who'd be interested in taking that over? The classes, I mean. It doesn't pay, but it comes with the fuzzy feeling of knowing that you're helping a bunch of people learn to protect themselves. As one of those people who were learning, I'd really, really appreciate it if someone could pick them up.

Contact me here if you're interested, I guess?

Also, is there someone named Mercy out there? I don't know about you, but I got a note when Derek left and it looks like we're looking after the Youth Center. That's cool with me, I'd just like to meet you. Maybe share notes... figure out how to work this, you know.

...That's about all I know, City. Business as usual, right?

Crazy week, huh?  People dying, people coming back to life for a day, the network turning into a weird version of The Sun.  I'm not a fan of gossip.  What people do, who they do it with--that's all their business, no one else's.  

I'm even less a fan of murder, but I'm sure the police will take care of that.

Coming back to life, though... that's really something.  I ended up running around the garden most of the day.  Maybe this doesn't make sense, but being alive seems to make everything brighter.  Things taste better, flowers smell better, running is more fun.  I never would've guessed that I'd actually miss getting my heart rate up and needing to breathe.  It was a nice day, but being like this--being dead, I mean--isn't bad.  It's way better than not being in the City would be, and I still get to do the things I care about and meet people.

[Her voice takes on a gloomier tone that is very unlike Penny.]

Jenny went home.  I checked the Hall and there she was.  I'll definitely miss her.  I didn't know her for very long, but she's always so sweet and cheerful, and she's pretty much the only person I've ever had a serious conversation about freeing the animals in the zoo with. 

She said I could be part of her family, too--that I'd make a good sister.  I've never had anyone invite me into her family before.  Having a family...

[There's a brief pause, a sniff, and then, with forced brightness:]

So!  Charlie, Sophie--shopping tomorrow, right?
