@glrondite ↬ she comes into being from the corner of view, where the shadows of a room bereft of light save for digital screen lie . she has watched, and watched and watched . 'tis a day of revelry for the mortal kinds, and she lays here at the bottom of a well of misery, content to wallow . fie and fie again on she, for the reason is no secret . one lanky arm arises and hand, with claws more than nails, faces palm up in offer . " come with me, o' child mine . 'tis a thing i would have you see . "

❝ i don't want to look at any christmas lights or whatever. ❞ sure enough, penny is bundled up in multiple layers of blankets on her bed, phone turned completely off as to not be disturbed ⸻ at least when she wasn't home for the holidays last time, her father would call her, but this time ... not a single phone call was had, not even on the day of. it's obvious that it's been heavily affecting her, &&. she has since decided to drown her sorrows in capri-suns, netflix &&. salsa chips. of course, it seems that the fae king isn't content to leave her be today. she glances down at the offered hand with a raised eyebrow.

❝ i thought you'd be off doing your own thing, anyway. ❞

@glrondite ↬ what are you expecting your silent protest will get you ?

oh, there are a million things penny wants to say to her right now. each of them correspond with a different emotion that stirs in her chest — anger, annoyance, depression, confusion. i was hoping you'd leave is eventually pieced together from all of them, crashing within her mind like a storm ; i wish you'd just go away. i wish i'd never went back to galar. i wish you'd let my father just serve the time the people of galar give him so maybe, just maybe he'd have a chance at a life again if he got out. it's so, so ... frustrating. she knows her father is not a perfect man — hell, he can barely even be considered a good man at this point after everything he's done. his quick willingness to abandon bede when he wasn't useful enough for him should've been her first warning sign. it should've been the first bell that told her he was up to something — it just wasn't like him. but penny never could've imagined it would involve the goddamn fae — sure, she'd heard of them as a child, though she would've never believed they're real ( &&. so, so much more insufferable than she could've ever imagined. of course, having the king herself breathing down her neck sounds like something out of its own fairytale. ) it's overbearing &&., in its own ways, horrifying. talk about a sleep paralysis demon when she's upset about something.

&&. yet, despite all of these thoughts &&. words coming close to boiling over inside of her, she simply just ... keeps her mouth shut. there's the visible rise &&. fall of her shoulders, sure, but she doesn't dare break her silence just yet. if the oh - so graceful king finds it insufferable ... oh well.

@glrondite asked: (unprompted)

knock knock knock . " this wouldnt happen to be 9 east medali street, 51683, ip 212.39.141.229, po box 28, would it ? "

" yes, this is the place. " surely this encounter will be very normal and harmless and will cause no issues going forward.

@glrondite ↬ sniiiiff. sniffsniffsniffsniff sniff. she smells of ... ... ... instant noodles . no dynamax trickery, like kin before her . yet . carry on .

penny stands incredibly still as this pokemon sniffs her, eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she tries to figure out what's so interesting. after taking a moment to sniff her own hoodie &&. make sure it's clean, she takes an almost comically large step back to help create distance as fast as possible.

she's definitely a cat person.
