★ [Action || Video] Tell Me Something That'll Save Me

[Lucy is sitting on a bench by the fountain. She's got a cup of coffee and a fashion magazine with her. She's idly flipping through it, dog earring certain pages and then moving on. She appears to be waiting for something.]

So I know it's a long shot 'cause really who wants to leave Birmingham or come back to this place. Doesn't stop a girl from hoping.

And now I just sound patheta-sad.

[ooc: Fourth wall is a go. She'll welcome visits from anyone]

I'm sorry--about Harry, I mean. That's hard to... you know, deal with. And baking yourself by the fire isn't okay, okay?

Me? Besides missing you like crazy? I've been great! I have a job and a cool boss and friends and a pirate hat, so being dead's not too much of a drag. No friends like the ones I had--have--here, and no boyfriend, but I can't complain.

Yes Ma'am. I'll watch it in the future. [She sounds almost giddy about that too. It's just so nice to have Penny back even though she knows it's not for real]

Good! I was worried about you but I didn't want to mention the whole dead thing. Chris is okay by the way. I keep an eye on him.

I'm holding you to that, you know. I'll be checking in.

Aw, don't worry about me. I think I'm in a nicer place than the City, really, although it'd be better with everyone from here there. [small pause] You really...? Thanks, Lucy. Maybe it's dumb, but I don't think I'm any less in love with him than I was when I left.

I'm really, really sorry for leaving, by the way. Wish I could've at least said goodbye.

You'd better!

Aww Penny. Of course you're not. He's a good guy. [Unlike Chris, Lucy isn't feeling guilty. She just doesn't think it's that big a deal] He's still really in love with you too. I think he misses you a lot.]

I wish you could have too but it's not your fault. It's the City.

I promise. Girlscout's honor.

That's... it's nice to hear, even though I feel kind of bad about keeping him tied down to a dead girl, you know? But I'll find him later.

Stupid City. It's good on days like this, but it needs to work on its coming-and-going policies.

I don't think you should. You haven't been gone that long and love isn't one of those things that come along all the time. It's not easy to get over someone and it shouldn't be. [She's actually kind of speaking from experience here. She's way not over the Master despite the party girl thing she's been doing.]

They ought to be like 7/11. Open door policy all the time.

You're right. And I'm not giving up on it. I don't think I can. Being away really threw some things into perspective... I'm not getting over him anytime soon.

Yeah? The City would be completely empty! I don't know about you, but I think that we could find a better world to hang out in than this one.

[Now she just feels bad because she wants Penny and Chris to be able to be together] Maybe the City will let you come back.

One without curses would be nice, this one excepting.

It doesn't hurt to hope for that.

That'd be a step forward. I could do without the creepy maybe-world-ending clock, too. It just makes me nervous.

My fingers and toes are crossed. Even if it is selfish and you're happy now. It wasn't that bad here...right?

Entirely creepy. I wouldn't argue with warm weather all year 'round.

It wasn't--isn't. I'd love to stay here, Lucy, even with the curses.

[laughs] But you wouldn't want it to be sunny all year, right? You'd be a giant sunburn.

Okay good. I don't need anything to feel guilty about. Guilt gives you wrinkles.

Lots of sunscreen. Toss some rainy days in and we'll be set.

I like it. I vote for you to be ruler of the world.

As long as I get a crown, I'm game.
