51-His hopes aren't the only thing being raised

[Voice Post]

Well, well, look who decided to surprise us! Quite a treat at the end of such a perilous week. You all are raising my hope for good things to come.

But of course, what could be better than such wonderful visitors?

[/Voice Post]

[OoC: So cute you could eat them up? Bad jokes aside, this is one hilarious thirty-second video. ANYTHING GOES, he's soon to be in a terrible mood anyway.]

[Hello, obligatory say-hello-to-the-ex time!]

Hammer, hey! You sound... like you're still very much the you that you were last time I saw you. How's it going?

[Hello, the-emphasis-is-clearly-on-obligatory!]

Penny! I do do enjoy your visiting here. It's going- [Awful, terrible, I can't wait to get out of here, I hate every inch of this place to the point of cracking.] fairly standard, I'm sorry to say. Although this past week we were able to travel to some different places.

We collected artifacts to enable a wish of ours to be granted.

That... doesn't sound all that standard. Where'd you go? Did you get a wish?

[video]

[Oh, someone discussing the wishes of his nemesis? He simply must interject with some muttering.]

I bet he just wished to... to break someone's dreams. With his face.

[...Wait, shoot, but the someone was-]

Billy?

[That sounded a little too bitter to be her Billy, but she hadn't seen her Billy for ages, so maybe--]

Billy! You're in the City today!

[video]

[identity profile] societyslipping.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Penny! I... uh... N-nice to see you! I was just talking about how... I bet... bet he...

[...You'll have to excuse him. His brain is in the middle of shattering into a million pieces.]

Wanted to shake some cream... Make some nice butter!

[Well, let's hope the butter turned out smoother than he is.]

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-penny.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I bet... that's it exactly.

[Not really.]

You're not my Billy, are you? Dumb multiverse. Not that it's not great to see you, too!

[video]

[identity profile] societyslipping.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[...N-not her Billy? Ouch. Right, implications of a multiverse come after an attempt at patching this up.

He looks way too cheerful.]

Well, what do multiverses matter? Really, you're you and I'm me... So I think I could be your me.

[video]

[This is, what, the third time this kind of thing has happened? Poor Billy. Billies.]

And I'd like you to be my you, but it never works that way! The last Billy I tried to hug came this close to running away from me.

[video]

[identity profile] societyslipping.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
What-

[He blanches. Nonono. How could any... version... of himself run from Penny. That's so... wrong. In any universe, it should be his dream to rule the world with her by his side!]

...Well, if you wanted to hug me, I wouldn't run away.

Uh, not that... I... think you should... or anything...

[In that Billy's defense, she did kind of glomp him without warning.]

Well, where are you? I haven't had a Billy-hug in ages.

[If he belonged to an animated medium, his face would be the color of a tomato. As it is, he feels like his brain is frying. And he loves it.]

I-I'm... beside this... fountain... thing...

[Verbal articulation, what is that?]

Then if you don't mind hugs from Pennys from other dimensions, just stay right there.

[Because, you know, it's totally no big deal to go around hugging strange Billys who have never in their wildest dreams (well, maybe in their wildest dreams) had Penny hugs.]

[video]

[identity profile] societyslipping.livejournal.com 2011-06-24 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
No! No, I don't... I don't mind at all, I... I...

[...am going to stop talking now.]

I'll be waiting! Right here! Won't move an inch! Not even a centimeter!

[In his wildest dreams, he's done a full dance number with Penny. But a hug is beyond his wildest realistic expectations.]

[Penny goes to the fountain to look for Billy, hoping that there's only one in the City right now. How awkward would it be to find the wrong one? But there's only one at the fountain, so odds are...]

Hey, Billy!

[There's no song and dance, but there is a hug.]

[action]

[identity profile] societyslipping.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He freezes up as soon as he sees her, and it takes a full ten seconds for him to awkwardly return the hug]

Penny! Hello! It's... it's been a while, huh...

[Compliment her, dolt!]

...Your arms are very strong!

[action]

[identity profile] horrible-penny.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess has it been, especially for you.

[It's a good thing Penny finds Billy's awkwardness strangely endearing. She doesn't prolong the hug. No need to kick the awkward up a notch.]

Thanks? [Um.] So! How've you been?

[action]

[identity profile] societyslipping.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah... Um... Fine! How about you?

[He nods, smiling cheerfully. Maaaybe a bit too cheerfully? But for him, it's not too bad.]

No, not even for the City. [His face falters to reveal a grim expression, before he picks back up again into charmingly happy.]

There was space, dinosaurs, pirates, an old countryside with knights, and even LA!

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-penny.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Space.

...Could you breathe?

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-protag.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
There were ships and suits taken as a precaution, thankfully, yes.

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-penny.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Then how was LA? Just like home, or was this other-universe LA?

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-protag.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It was nothing to what I could refer to as home. It was overtaken by decaying monsters that ate flesh. [This is more dramatic than saying 'zombies'. And he hates the idea so much, that he can't even manage to say the word.]

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-penny.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh. Ew. So much for a free visit home.

[video]

[identity profile] horrible-protag.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. However, it was good to get away from the City, if even for a few hours.
