[ Penny and Jaune might have casually run into each other inside the Beacon house in the past, but today Penny will find a strange sight.
It's Jaune, camping out in the front lawn of their shared house. It's daylight, too, and he seems to have been out here for at least two days, with no signs of packing up. In fact, it appears that he's going to have lunch, but when he reaches for two-minute noodles from his plastic hobo bag, he realizes that he doesn't even have a mivrowave at the moment. ]
Aw, nuts! I guess I'll wait for her to leave the house again...

[ it certainly is strange! at first penny had just taken it as jaune wanting to get some fresh air, but two days does seem to be a bit excessive. on top of that, everyone else in the house seems to be acting pretty strangely, too...
so of course, she's ready to investigate! in true penny fashion, she pops up behind him with no warning whatsoever. ]
Hello, Jaune!

Hello, Jaune!

[ she doesn't flinch at the throw at all! and she just giggles at him being scared, because it's funny. ]
It wasn't intentional, I promise you. [ but more importantly... ] What are you doing out here?
It wasn't intentional, I promise you. [ but more importantly... ] What are you doing out here?
Well, as you can see-- [ Jaune gestures to his laundry hanging on a line next to his shabby tent. ] --I live here now ever since Queen Weiss banished me from our humble abode.
[ He glares at the house, at the window where he sometimes catches Weiss glaring back at him. Nobody is there for now, so he looks back at Penny again. ]
...You like it?

She banished you? [ GASP. ] What did you do?!
[ there aren't many things that deserve banishment to the front yard! she'll have to speak to weiss about this. ]
It's very... humble.

It's very... humble.
[ yeah, man. it kind of sucks. she just wanted to be nice about it :( ]
So... you didn't do anything? [ ??? ] That's very weird!
So... you didn't do anything? [ ??? ] That's very weird!
She thinks we used to be together and then I dumped her. Ridiculous, right?
[ As far as Jaune is aware, Weiss isn't the only one with false memories in the city. He wonders if Penny is okay, too... ]
By the way, uh... how do you... feel about things? Ugh, that sounded weird. -- I mean, how have you been? Nothing weird in your life lately?

That doesn't sound like Weiss at all.
[ penny might be naïve, but she knows that she would never date jaune. that in itself is just plain wrong. ]
I've been just swell! Though I'm not sure I can say the same about everyone else... I've noticed that Ruby hasn't been acting like herself, either. Is something like this normal?

Really... I think we should be concerned, then.
[ understatement of the century, penny. but at his request, she straightens up! ]
Sure thing! What can I do?
[ understatement of the century, penny. but at his request, she straightens up! ]

Well, Penny!
[ While Penny straightens up, Jaune kneels down to meet her eye level 'cause he's so fuckin tall. ]
I have an important mission for you.
...
[this looks serious]
Could you... grab me a snack from the house? Weiss is gonna freak out if I go in...

[ life is hard when you're a small robot bean :(
but without hesitation, she salutes! even if she can't cook, she can definitely procure some sort of snack fit for consumption. probably. ]
You can count on me, Jaune! You won't go hungry under my watch.
[ and off she goes into the house! what will she bring? ]

[ and in good penny fashion, she emerges from the house with a whole pile of things! but it's more of a hodgepodge that doesn't make for a very good human meal - lunch meats, a bowl of sugar cubes, a bottle of ketchup... and a bag of pretzels.
this is regular human food, right? right. totally normal. not suspicious at all. ]
I'm sure this will be sufficient!

[ It's a nice summer (almost fall!) day outside. The sun is brightly shining, and there are so many kids playing out in the streets because they aren't attending summer school.
In fact... there are way too many kids. And a guy is out to deliver sacks of potatoes in a wagon when he abruptly stops his horse from moving some more since some kids just zoomed right in front of his path! Some of the sacks fall to the ground, while one somehow manages to fly up in the air and it's— it's heading straight for someone!
Tadashi was in the middle of reading a book when he hears the horse cry in pain from how much the owner pulls on its bit. Then he sees the sack in the air and he all he can do is get to his feet and yell: ]
Watch out!
[ Baymax, who is conveniently right beside him in its charging station, still remains to be seen. ]

[ Maybe. Probably. Hopefully?
Look, a rather apprehensive Pyrrha is going to find out the hard way whether or not robots can even engage in telepathic communication.
(This is going to be short because I have to run out in a minute, gomen.) ]
Penny?
[ This is fine. ]
Hello. It's Pyrrha, we met back on Remnant. I was actually hoping we could speak, so...
[ THIS IS FINE ]

[ yes! it's a little odd that someone with thought processors instead of "thoughts" in the traditional sense can use telepathy, but she can hear pyrrha loud and clear. in fact, she's very excited! ]
Pyrrha Nikos! It's been some time, hasn't it?
[ she's been waiting for this! ever since ruby told her that pyrrha was here, she's been itching to ask her things and get to know her. ]
I'd very much like to speak with you, too! Are you back from your journey?

[ it's a wonderful day to go out for a stroll and watch the city, which is just what penny is doing. she wasn't expecting danger to arise from kids playing in a street, but the commotion that the potato wagon makes catches her attention.
the sack is definitely a danger to those below if it hits someone, so penny springs into action. as it quickly falls, she catches it it cleanly... which might seem incredible to some people watching. between the heaviness of the sack in general and the momentum at which it fell, she should have at least stumbled or felt some sort of pain. no such thing happens.
after quickly asking the nearby kids if they're okay, she puts down the sack and quickly begins to leave the area. ]

Oh! Well...
I'm not very hungry. [ it technically isn't a lie, so she doesn't hiccup. she's getting better at this. ] But I will gladly keep you company!

[ It is incredible??? And Penny should be seriously hurt, which is why Tadashi activates Baymax immediately and runs towards Penny. Why is she even leaving the scene? ]
Hey! [ Tadashi was just a spectator, but he can't help but feel concern. ] Hey, miss!
Hey! [ Tadashi was just a spectator, but he can't help but feel concern. ] Hey, miss!
[ shit shit shit shit. this is the delivery truck incident all over again - she's caused a scene and was noticed by someone that doesn't seem to want to let up. she stops, but only for a moment. ]
Please don't follow me.
[ time to break into a run! ]

[ time to break into a run! ]
Yes. I returned to the city last night.
[ To a pretty perfect homecoming, honestly. It feels selfish to say that, since she made a beeline for Jaune and basically ignored everyone else, but ... that's all she needed at the moment.
Now, it's time to be a grown-up. So, this. ]
I, um - I actually brought you back a souvenir.
[ A "sorry for murdering you" present? Apparently. ]
