nine - the shadow of life

[handsthathelp]

[It was just like waking up except that it wasn't because she remembered everything that happened and knew exactly what it was and that knowledge chilled her to the bone.

With a single minded intent she was on her feet and out the door, determined to prove to herself that she was, in fact, alive.]

[ooc: Open action, Penny hugs for everyone!

[ Fourth floor? Why, that's where she lives! Yukiko will step out of her room at some point, conveniently only a minute or two after Penny is there too. Oh...it's that redhead who lives down the hall that she never really talked to. sup? ]

[handsthathelp]

[nothing much, nothing much, except that you're getting a small smile and a really big hug right now.]

Um, hi.

Sorry.

[fanassaults]

[ accurate portrayal of her reaction: sdfklsdngsd?! ]

U-um...hello. That's alright.

[handsthathelp]

[lets the poor girl go and is a little embarrassed herself now but, thanks! She needed that T.T]

Sorry, I don't usually...

Ah... I'm Penny.

[brdskllwarrior]

[This girl had been practicing her aerials, running across curtain rods and swinging from wall sconces, but when she sees Penny she drops down to a windowsill]

[Not even bothering to hide the relief from her voice,] Penny! You're back!

[handsthathelp]

[Recognizes the voice but... where is 7?? Oh wait, that's right, there she is... As soon as she recognizes the doll on the window sill as her friend she makes to scoop her up into a hug. Penny's glad to see you too, let her show you how much!]

7!

[brdskllwarrior]

WHOA!

[Okay, THAT was unexpected, so much so that 7 drops her spear, flailing her arms about as she suddenly finds herself clutched against Penny's chest]

[awwwwkwaaaaard .....]

Mphf!

[handsthathelp]

[BOOB SQUISH

she does catch that mphf noise... tho not the awkward, and moves 7 up a little higher and squeezes her a little less hard]

Sorry.

[leadthedance]

[Just passing by in a bit of a huff, not really noticing her or his surroundings since on his mind is "PRIDE AND REVENGE B(" but... surely he wouldn't mind a Penny hug. (Frankly, he probably needs one.)]

<33

[handsthathelp]

[oh he's so getting one too as she just... marches up to him without a word and throws her arms around him]

[leadthedance]

What-!?

[That kind of puts him in a brief state of ON THE OFFENSIVE due to the fact of "OH GOD A COMMONER IS TOUCHING ME"..... but he sees who it is and somehow calms and stares.]

Penny?

[handsthathelp]

[still hugging him] Um, hi.

Sorry.

[lord_wizard]

[Hi Penny. Have a Felix. He's probably just leaving the library, a book or two tucked under one arm]

[handsthathelp]

[hope you've got a good hold on those books, bb! Doesn't even say hi... just... walks up to Felix and hugs him <3]

[lord_wizard]

[Ohgodwhatisthis? Felix stiffens like a board at the sudden hug, and just kind of stands there paralyzed, not wanting to push her off or run away. Yeah, guess who's touch-phobic?]

pfffff, poor Felix!

[handsthathelp]

[makes it a really short hug and steps back quickly... since he doesn't seem to be the huggy type. Oops!]

Um, hi.

Sorry.

LATE sorry

[need_to_rule_it]

[guess who's moping his way back to his room on the fourth floor, not really paying attention to much of anything. He hasn't been sleeping, so he's in a sort of mindless daze, and doesn't notice anyone else in the same hallways at the moment]

Pfff, I see no late <3

[handsthathelp]

[he's in for quite the surprise then as she just moves in to hug him without any sort of preamble]

[need_to_rule_it]

[at first, there is the general shock that someone is hugging him, which is a lot in any given situation. Then, an incredulous and breathless moment later, there is the realization that it's Penny.
Her. It's her.]

Penny--

[too much smashes into his brain at once that it leaves him stunned, arms hovering--with a couple tiny hand-flaps of shock--without knowing where to go or what to do. Caught between the urge to hug her back, and to hold her out by her shoulders so that he can get a good look at her and make sure that it's really her, and that she's really real.

...and finally, his shock and unproductive swarm of emotions is suddenly cut short, when her hug makes something that is in his sweatshirt pocket stab him] --Ow!

[handsthathelp]

[draws back double quick, snatching her arms back and holding them close to her body]

I'm sorry! What happened?
