Penny! Penny, when you get this, please call back, okay?
[Jimmy sounds like he's in a hurry, and the second he gets that out he hangs up. He also sounds a little...frightened? Nervous, maybe? It all depends on how much Penny can pick up on from...that.]

[It's not that much later when Penny rings Jimmy back.]
Jimmy! It's good to hear from you again, how have you been? ...Are you okay?
[Something seemed just a little off about that message.]

[Something seemed just a little off about that message.]
I'm fine, yeah! Totally fine! Great!
[...SUPER FINE, APPARENTLY.]
I just wanted to talk for a sec! ...if...that's okay.

[Well if he says he's fine then obviously everything is fine!]
Absolutely! What did you want to talk about?

Well...you've got something you're afraid of, right Penny?
[Her mind instantly goes back a week prior, huddled in a hotel closet with her heart pounding.]
Yes, one or two things.
[She frowns a little.]
Why, is something scaring you? Are you sure you're all right?
Yes, one or two things.
[She frowns a little.]
Why, is something scaring you? Are you sure you're all right?
It's uh...not scaring me right now, but...I don't really like to talk about it too much. I kinda feel like I should...tell someone about it though, yaknow?
If you don't...mind, that is.
If you don't...mind, that is.
Of course I don't mind if you think it will make you feel better! And I promise not to tell anyone.
[She definitely knows how important that can be.]

Cross my heart! I won't tell a soul.
[You are, sadly, speaking her language here.]

...Pickles?
[Okay, that IS kind of weird. For one thing, pickles are delicious.]
I'm sorry, I just want to be sure- you mean the little green crunchy things, right? Or are they something different where you're from?

That's them, exactly! They uh...
[...]
I just really don't like them. Like, not just because I think they taste bad or anything. We just...don't get along, if you get what I mean.
[Proooobably not.]

... If I just press this... then I think that turns on the call, or maybe...
[Well that's just a call out of nowhere. One that Rakka isn't noticing just yet.]
...Wait, what is it doing now?
[......]
H-hello?

H-hello?

[PENNY.exe is processing.]
...I don't think I do, no. Sorry.
Do they make you really sick or something?
...I don't think I do, no. Sorry.

Hello?
I'm sorry, I don't recognize this ID. My name's Penny, who's this?
I'm sorry, I don't recognize this ID. My name's Penny, who's this?
Nah, it's more like...bad stuff happens when I'm around them?
I know it's really weird. I can't really explain why.

Like they bring you bad luck? I don't think I've ever heard of a snackfood being a bad omen before.
[What even are the superstitions on Remnant, we just don't know.]
But if that's the case, I guess I can see why you'd be a little scared of them!

Ah!
[Well THAT is the sound of someone fumbling with the pokegear they almost dropped.]
H-hello! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to actually call anyone, I was just trying to figure out... how.
[She sounds dumb, doesn't she.]

Yeah...it's really bad. I haven't had any trouble with them here yet, but that's why I try to just stay away from 'em if I can.
[Ruby was an unashamedly affectionate person. She freely gave it, and was more than happy to receive it. She never found anything odd about this, except...
Except for today. Today she felt different. Not bad different, just. Different different. It was thanks to a strange, bubbly feeling in her chest, like there was a bird fluttering around inside it. On top of that, she had the strangest urge to seek out her companions, so at some point during the day, Penny will be getting a knock on her door.]
Heeeey Penny~!

Has that been difficult? A lot of stores and restaurants here have them, don't they?
[So do they need to be out of the jar, or within eating distance, or-]

[Not to Penny, at least.]
That's okay! At least now you know for sure how it works, right?

Salutations, Ruby!
[The reply is a bit muffled, coming from the other side of the closed door.]
Come in, it's unlocked! I can't move much at the moment.
[Opening the door will make Penny's adorable predicament clear; she's seated cross-legged on the floor beside her bed, her Aggron lying beside her with its head resting in her lap.]
[The Pokémon raises its head for a moment as the door opens, before hping back to its rest once it sees Ruby. The open tub of Steel-type polish on the floor and the rag in Penny hand are likely enough to explain the setup.]
How are you today?

[Ruby can't help but laugh at the sight. Of course it's Penny who can make a giant metal beast act like a content pet cat.]
I'm good! Really good. [She may or may not be repressing the memory of kissing Weiss before, but. Details.] I dunno why, but I've been feeling really up today, y'know?
[She walks over to where Penny is sitting, flopping down next to her.]
How're you doing?
