J: We need to be careful.

P: I am aware... The news has been awfully concerning... Especially with that young girl.

P: Do you have any ideas if the doctor has been experimenting? I mean you were told about that right? Just... These poor kids. Do you think they have any idea what's going on?

Good afternoon

[hero-brittbritt]

A leave of absence?  Is she…okay?  Two guidance counselors sounds like a lot!  Back in freshman year when they found that bird in my locker, I had to go speak to Ms. Pillsbury and it made me super nervous.  Are people going to have to talk to both of you at once now…?

Thanks for settling that for me!  I was always curious but never really sure. Naked. Good to know.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

She's fine, I have just found out that she will be coming back in a few days time. And it does but it's a rather big school no? Oh dear, you found a bird in your locker? Was it okay? And well you don't need to be nervous around me, if you ever do need to talk. And oh no, they'll mostly talk to Ms. Pillsbury and I shall be there in case there are too many for her to handle. 

You're welcome, um what might your name be? 

[bright-lightsblaine-blog]

Sam's house feels more of a home then mine right now

[bright-lightsblaine-blog]

Yes and I would rather not have that happen as I have become rather fond of that family. It really would I would never have to pay for gas or public transfer again. But yes we will just have to settle. It’s okay I like people who ramble it says a lot about their personality. Well we’ll be ramblers together. So from one to another, Hi I’m Blaine Anderson.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Well that is very good that you are fond of them. It's always good to have a close knit group of people to keep you grounded. Exactly, especially with how the gas prices are rising. Unfortunately, though it is an interesting thought that people could have special gifts like in the movies. But alas this is real life and nothing is like that. Excellent! It is lovely to meet a fellow rambler. I'm Penelope Monroe. A pleasure to meet you Blaine.

Hey

Hey! Puck here. You probably know me as the Puckster, Puckzilla or the best lay you’ve ever had.

You chicks better watch out, ‘cause Puckzilla’s coming for you, and once you get a whiff of my special Puckerone, you won’t be able to resist.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

...You must be very confident in yourself to be able to say that. Is there any truth to what you are saying?

[superherolynn]

Jena Malone Nailed it!

Catching Fire was the best movie ever!

EVER

[penelopemonroe-blog]

I have not seen it yet myself but I hear that it was a great movie. I have seen pictures and the costumes look fabulous. 

[mente-materia-clarington]

The more I listen to the news,

the happier I am that I don’t live in Lima.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Oh are you speaking about the news of the scar faced man and something about that doctor being involved. Yes it is rather scary though I do hope that they are able to catch the man since I happen to live in Lima. Where might you be from?

[diana-harrison-deactivated20140]

Well

I’ve been sitting in the living room listening to Christmas Music and looking at my Christmas Tree for the past hour, I think I’m going a little insane.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Oh, I love Christmas though do you normally put your decorations and tree up so early in the year? I personally like to wait until the mid-week of December though that might just because of my parents tradition. I'm sure that your tree looks very pretty. 

[wolf-charlie]

Great.

There are times where people are just so horrid it makes me lose all faith in humanity and makes me want to go live in the woods.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

I'm sorry to hear that Charlie. There are some people who are quite awful and make you question why you need to deal with their horribleness. Though living in the woods might not be ideal, would you not miss anyone? 

[adeadlyrose-blog]

Fuck fuckitty fuck fuck fuck…

Stupid truant officers hunted me down, dragged me to the office, and kept me there. Wouldn’t listen to the fact I have my GED and left my paperwork when my fucking house was being invaded and stuck me in classes. Well done, public education. Spending tax payer dollars on a kid who 1) Doesn’t want to be in class and 2) already’s been educated.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

You have your GED? Well do you happen to have the paperwork or perhaps have the number that they could find the prove online that you did complete it? There must be a mistake. 

[carter-lennox-deactivated201404]

Anyone else bored out of their mind? Just me?

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Why are you so bored? Perhaps you can find something to do? And my work is rather tedious and boring me so I would say yes I am quite bored. 

[adefenderofsin-blog]

I'm not sure what's worse;

The fact that I don’t think I can even stomach a margarita again or the fact that I want to stomach a margarita again after what happened at work yesterday.

I’m so conflicted.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Oh dear, what happened at work yesterday? It must have been pretty awful for you being unable to stomach something as delicious as a margarita. 

[callme--gabey]

Guess who just went to the gym and pretended to work out for three hours? 

This biotch right here. Yas.

[callme--gabey]

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Why did you pretend?

[tyler--noodlefox-deactivated201]

I think my mom decided that getting me the Xbox One so early was a bad idea, because she took it back and told me I had to wait till Christmas.

…That’s when I realized that I haven eaten in a while, and ran out for food.

hashtag taco bell life.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Well that's both very nice and a bit harsh of your mom to give it to you and then take it away. And I love taco bell!

Hotel drinks are so weak

It taste like 80% sugar water and 20% what’s supposed to be alcohol. Sadly in foreign territory and my ID doesn’t work because they are unfamiliar with them. 

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Well I am sure that if you were of age, you could use your passport. Though if I am not mistaken the legal age to drink alcohol in Canada is 19 years. You might luck out if they do not ask you and you are able to pass for 19. Though how do you know what alcohol tastes like if your ID does not work?

The Documented Thoughts of Penelope Monroe 

Sunday, November 24th 2013 My Apartment in Lima, Ohio

There was an email waiting for me when I arrived at home last night. A coded message from Division informing me of a meeting with another agent. Of course Richard mentioned that there would be other agents around but with different missions than my own. There was a reason I was sent here instead of anyone else, my skill set is vastly different from most field agents but that does not mean that they are any less skilled. It is purely the fact that I was gifted with the ability to teleport that I am sure Richard sent me here. He seems to know more than he lets on but I trust him with my life ... how can I not after he saved me that one time. But I am not entirely sure that I am getting any progress when it comes to figuring out anything about this sleepy town. Though looking at the news, it seems that clearly there are things happening in this town that makes Division suspect there is foul play occurring. The scar faced man. I am certain that he is a product of that awful testing being done by the rogues. I just do not know how to begin to voice my concerns or have anything be done about it. My orders are clear. To guard and protect the city so that the superhuman population stays under the regular human population's radar. It would do the government no good if there was news that people were going crazy from a test done so many years ago. But where did my powers come from? I cannot help but suspect that there are other people out there with powers whom fear the wrath of the majority and therefore keeping it a secret. Goodness knows I felt the same way for years. Tonight I shall meet this other agent and perhaps from there we can figure out some way to deal with the rogue population in this town. I am without a doubt certain that there are more than the scar faced twin. But dear god, I feel like I am out of my element here. Completely and utterly out of my element. 

[penelopemonroe-blog]

Good afternoon

[misfitmarleyrose-archived]

Yeah, just okay because I know I can definitely be better. It’s alright; I can handle this on my own. Thank you for asking though. I think everyone would like to have that as well, but I doubt it’s going to happen here in Lima, much less in McKinley.

[penelopemonroe-blog]

I am sorry to hear that you aren't better but I am sure that whatever is bothering you, you'll be able to sort out. You seem like a girl who will be able to do that. And you're welcome. Well it is a rather small town, plus we live in a country that is run on capitalism and the system won't allow us to have that well deserved break.
