[For a moment, the camera is just focused on the wall, and there's an awful lot of snickering happening in the background. It takes a good ten seconds for whoever it is to calm down enough to show their face on screen. The source of the laughter appears to be Penny, but something about her mannerisms seems just a little bit... off. She begins to talk with a barely restrained grin on her face.]

Greetings, everybody! My name is Penny, and I am definitely Penny, without any doubt. I am here to bring you an important announcement!

I- hehehehe- I eat my own boogers! They are very tasty!

[And then she promptly dissolves into helpless giggles. Yeah. Something's not right here.]

Action

["Penny" is making sure she gets out and about today, to maximize how much she can get out of the strange situation she's found herself in. To everybody she meets, she does the exact same thing - she greets them and extends her hand in a traditionally friendly manner.]

Hello! We should shake hands.

[If you choose to shake her hand, you're definitely going to get shocked by a hand buzzer - but who would suspect sweet, innocent Penny?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Well... it's not the first time John's seen his body from the outside before, and he'd be surprised if it was the last. It's still pretty weird, though.]

Don't worry, Penny! It's just a joke. I am not eating your boogers, and once you get your own body back, you can clear your good, non-booger-eating name. I will even vouch for you if people don't believe you!

...do you absolutely promise? I mean about not eating boogers, but all of it.

[Squinting suspiciously as she asks. You wouldn't lie to a poor innocent girl would you John?]

I mean, I look like you too. I could- um- ...okay I don't know what I could do to you that wouldn't just be mean, but there are things!

[She'll eat all the Betty Crokorok snacks she can.]

Yeah, I promise!

[John may be a prankster, but he wouldn't lie about this. He's not that much of a douchebag.]

And feel free to try and prank me back, but know that there is no way to beat the pranking master, Penny. I am simply the best there is! My pranksters gambit is off the charts!

I could come up with a good prank!

[(hic)]

[Now who's the liar, Penny.]

...What's a pranksters gambit, is that a game thing?

No, a prankster's gambit is just a measure of who is doing the best at pranking. Whenever I pull a good prank, the gambit goes in my favor, but if somebody pulls a good prank on me, then it goes in their favor. It's pretty simple!

You have a special word for that?

[Is this some kind of official record?]

But if that's how it works, I will absolutely do whatever I can to push the prankster gambit in my favor!

Yeah, of course. Pranking is serious business, Penny. You should know where you stand on the prankster's gambit at all time!

[There isn't any official record, though, so good luck keeping track.]

Man, I'm kind of excited to see what you do now. But watch out, Penny! If you prank me too, good, I'll have to prank you hard right back.

I don't know yet, but it'll be good!

[It probably won't be.]

...But if you just keep pranking me back, how do we know when it's all supposed to end?

Well... It never really ends. That's just the life of a prankster. You need to get better and better to get a leg up on your prancing rivals!

Though I guess if you surrendered, I might take mercy on you.

A soldier of Atlas never surrenders! ...um, I guess unless they were severely outmatched and fighting would just put people in danger? But we haven't fought anyone but the Grimm in a really long time, and they don't understand concepts like surrendering anyway.

Well then, I hope you're ready for a prank war, Penny. Because I am not going to go easy on you!
