every color can be found

Hello, visitors! I hope you're all having a good time in the City and finding plenty of interesting people to talk to. If this is your first time here, try not to worry too much. You'll get to go back home soon and it'll be like you were never gone.

If you need anything at all, feel free to swing by the Welcome Center. We've got coats and warm clothes if you aren't dressed for the weather or if you ended up in the fountain and food for anyone who's hungry--courtesy of the Blue Light, so make sure you visit there because it's an amazing place. I'm so sorry that we couldn't find beds for everyone who was asking last night; that'll be something to work on for the next time this happens.

But like I said, if you need anything, stop by or give me a shout here. My name's Penny and I'll do what I can to help out and answer your questions.

And if we've met before, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take a moment to say hello.

[The Welcome Center is only a block or so off of the main square, clearly marked by a big blue sign. Penny isn't the only one working, but she'd be more than happy to lend a hand where it's needed.]

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.]

[The video starts with... absolutely nothing. After a moment, however, the obstruction--a hand--moves away from the lens to reveal a slightly frazzled-looking Penny.]

Hey there! If you're new to the City or just visiting, I hope you're finding everything okay and not too worried. I keep hearing that this curse should've ended yesterday, but I'm sure you'll get back home soon. You're not missing anything, I promise; time stops while you're here. Nice, right?

Right.

If you need anything or you're looking for someone, it's pretty safe to ask anyone who looks like they live here. Most everyone's really friendly, so help's not too hard to find. You can also look for the sign that says "welcome center" and head for it. There're plenty of volunteers around the center who'd love to help you out, including me--but seriously, everyone's nice, so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Oh! And I'm Penny, so... y'know. Come say hi.


[ooc: Pretend this was up a little earlier? Anyway! Here's Penny and I can't think of anything that wouldn't be okay. She doesn't know what happens after her death in DHSAB, so expect some freaking out if your character chooses to enlighten her. This particular Penny doesn't remember her previous stay in the City, but you're welcome to throw old friends at her regardless!]
