THIS MESSAGE IS BEING RECORDED
Penny - Hey Notes… I’m glad you showed up.
Sticky Note - I mean… yeah, of course I’d show up. Is this about the band? I mean, no one else is here except me and you.
(Penny breathes in deeply as the two fall into a silence. Penny abruptly says what’s on her mind)
Sticky Note - What? You can’t just start a conversation like that and expect anyone to understand?
Penny - Ugh! One year of this “ReStart”* I’m so sick of this!
Penny - One year of tip-toeing around death! One year of prices going sky high! One year of jobs being almost impossible to get. All of this just to “prove my worth” to a society that wants objects like me dead… Of course you don’t understand… I thought it would be different.
Sticky Note - Ok, what? Penny, this is definitely escalating way too quickly. You’re hardly letting me-
Penny - REALLY?! I’m escalating things? At least I’M actively trying to do something about my situation. But you guys don’t care! Hell, you guys even made that stupid blog to ignore this problem!
Sticky Note - Don’t act like I like that blog. Eggnog just wanted to do something “fun”Simple.
(Penny pauses. They are still fuming as they open and close their mouth a few times, struggling to find the words. She eventually settles on a statement)
Penny - Most you can’t acknowledge that people are dying out there… Being forgotten, people being forced to live like this.
Sticky Note - I’m not trying to ignore the problem. Not like Yellow or GlueStick… I just don’t know what to do. It’s been a year and it still feels like it just happened yesterday.
(The two sit there, the tension only grows. This isn’t the first time Penny has expressed this concern. The guilt catches up with Penny. It feels like forever before Penny decides to handle the guilt)
Penny - You know, I didn’t mean to throw you under the bus like that… I uh, needed an outlet, and… I’m sorry you’ve been that outlet lately.
Sticky Note - It’s fine… It will be fine eventually. (💭 maybe I should pick up that pen…)
