[Well if he says he's fine then obviously everything is fine!]

Absolutely! What did you want to talk about?

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

Well...you've got something you're afraid of, right Penny?

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

[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?

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

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.

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

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.]

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

You really promise? It's kinda...

...weird.

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

Cross my heart! I won't tell a soul.

[You are, sadly, speaking her language here.]

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

I'm...

...I'm afraid of pickles, Penny.

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

...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?

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

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.]

[PENNY.exe is processing.]

...I don't think I do, no. Sorry.

Do they make you really sick or something?

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

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.

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

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!

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

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.

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

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-]

[Audio] 2/5

[awesmazings]

Yeaaah, but I try not to let what I'm afraid of ruin everybody else's day, yaknow? It's easier when I can just avoid 'em. But sometimes you can't, which is how it goes with a lot of things people are scared of. So I just try to think about it that way.

Re: [Audio] 2/5

[in4apounding]

...you're a good person, Jimmy.

[At least her big fear has been pretty easily avoided, barring magical Pokéworld-induced motormouth.]

I don't know how much I can do, but if you ever need help avoiding pickles let me know!
