Second Salutation [Video/Action]

[Video]

[Penny waves from her side of the feed, and it becomes obvious that she's definitely not alone - there's a lot of noise going on in the background.]

Salutations, everyone! It looks like there's been a lot of things going on due to all those eggs! [A pause.] I've been collecting them! I have about a hundred or so now, I think. But I also think it's been affecting some people, since--

[A small hand smacks the feed by accident, causing the video to zoom out and show Penny surrounded by younger children.]

Hey, be careful, okay? [She turns her attention back to the screen.] Anyway, it looks like I've got a few people following me that I don't remember being this small a few days ago! I'm keeping them safe from harm. [She's in 'big sister mode!' That's what she's gonna call it.]

Be careful what eggs you pick up, unless you wanna wind up smaller or bigger than you were before! [She says as she picks up another egg.]

[Action]

[It's easy to find Penny around Genessia City and Nova City, just look for the crowd of bitties she's herding around! Gotta keep these kids out of trouble. Want to help? Or maybe you know one of them and need to take them to safety so Penny has one less kid to worry about?]

[One of the kids in question is chasing his little pet robo-lion around, giggling the whole time.]

Caesar come back!

[Oops, careful Penny, looks like he's starting to get away]

[Action]

[Jaune's trying to be responsible, so he yells as loud as his lungs will allow him to:]

Guys, FOCUS while your paladin sister is talking to you!

[...Of course they don't listen. They never listen. Jaune groans in frustration and while Penny isn't looking, starts to climb up a building. If he pushes something off, that might get their attention.]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Okay, you're not opening the eggs, good, that seems to be what causes the hair-messings-up and the bittification and all that weirdness!

... Though, given everything, uh. What would a de-aged you look like?

[Ruby seems curious about that.]

[sal_u_tations]

[Oh no, she can't let any of them out of her sight for long, it could be dangerous--]

Wait, don't run off! [She walks over to him, trying to keep a gauge on where the others are so she doesn't lose them too.] It's too dangerous out there.

[Action] WORRY MODE: ON

[sal_u_tations]

[Penny considers herself lucky to have someone that can help her keep the others safe. But by the time she notices Jaune, he's already much higher up than she'd like any of them to be!]

Jaune! Be careful, what if you fell?!

[sal_u_tations]

Yeah! I'm just collecting them. [A beat.] And maybe me collecting them is helping them affect less people. ... Maybe. I don't know how probable that actually is!

[But it's helping, and she knows that much. Plus, it gives her something to do, when she isn't being followed by twenty kids.]

Erm... I-I don't know, actually. [She doesn't finish the thought, though, because -- well, they're talking in public, and she doesn't want the secret to get out!]

[are_you_robbing_me]

[Ruby nods, she gets that. Though she also doesn't consider that possibility, even though she's respected Penny's secret pretty well so far!] They seem to keep showing up, but if it curses fewer people, that's good! Really good.

[sal_u_tations]

[She has, but Penny can never be too careful. Ruby's the only one she trusts with this knowledge!]

Yes! The less people that have to go through this, the better. It shouldn't last forever, right? I hope it doesn't last forever.

[are_you_robbing_me]

I'll say. Yang needs her hair color back.
