Someone needs to be keeping track. The City could set a damsel-rescue record today.

Seriously! It's all of the princesses. Female empowerment wasn't a big thing in the fairy tales.

Yeah, I know, patriarchal society. What are you going to do, though? We don't have enough time left in the curse to talk the City into being politically correct.

Ah, so you're one of the lucky ones in the wardrobe change department.

[horrible_penny]

[wolfspecialist]

[horrible_penny]

It's nice to meet you, Will. I'm Penny.

[wolfspecialist]

Nice to meet you too, Penny.
