▶ 01. FOOD TRUCKS
Okay, I've been watching you make my order up for like twenty minutes and you've put shit on there that I don't even recognize. What am I about to eat?

( and should he eat something at all? he doesn't know this place or this food and even if he's hungry, he's starting to wonder if it's worth it. the booth attendant demurs, saying he'll like this, it's good, his own special recipe and penny just shakes his head, exhaling roughly but not leaving.

he should, he knows, but he doesn't. where the hell else would he go? back to that stupid safehouse where everyone's living on top of each other and people keep asking him if he needs help?

nah, that's fine. he's good on his own and if that means eating something that's going to kill him, so be it.

a few seconds later, whatever he ordered is finally done and penny takes it, throwing some money at the man and turning to walk off sharply.

the smell's potent and he thinks he smells some good spice but he's hesitant to take a bite. )


Look, if I eat this and I die, don't touch my body.

( he's just...letting that be known. )

▶ 01. HOVER BIKES
( sometimes, you say the wrong thing to the wrong person and sometimes, that person is the size of a fucking building which means you have to figure out a way to leave without getting smashed into pieces.

penny's way? he's going to knock some teenager off his hover bike in front of the gambling den he'd just been in and take it. he'll return it later, okay. he just needs to borrow it.

before he's even settled on the seat, he hits the gas and bike takes off, nearly throwing him in the process. he holds on, though, cursing sharply as he weaves through people and into traffic. he nearly gets taken out by a car and ends up caroming off one wall and into an alley.

he zips through it and spits out the other side, bringing the bike to a stop and hurriedly getting off. he grabs the first person he sees and says: )


Happy birthday, bike's yours. Go ahead and give it a spin, see how it handles.

( because he's just going to slip away now and hope that if the guy's following him, he'll see the bike and go after the poor fuck that he just pawned the thing off on.

sorry not sorry. )


▶ 03. WILDCARD
( if you'd like to do something else, you're welcome to toss it my way. )
