002. VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD

[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?]

[Nope. Not buying it.]

Penny's not gross! She's super sweet and maybe a bit awkward, but not like that! That's just bad awkward!

[harlequinhater]

Hey, who are you calling bad awkward? Maybe you're the one who's bad awkward!

[Truly, the master of insults.]

[Ow, that stings. Ruby actually looks a little upset at first, but then she just frowns.]

See, that proves it! There's no way Penny would say anything like that to me! She's not mean to her friends like that!

[John catches that look of hurt, and immediately backpeddles. Pranks are supposed to be funny, if inconvenient - not outright hurtful. Time to abort.]

Hey, sorry, I did not mean that! It was just a joke. If you are any kind of awkward, then it is definitely the good kind.

Anyways, you are right, I'm not Penny. I didn't mean to wake up in her body like this, but I figured if I'm here anyways, I might as well have some fun.
