Penny's Demise!
Okay, so before anyone goes :O!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, Penny didn't just die here. As far as I'm concerned, she's going to live for a really long time and was never a character I intended to kill (unlike some other character >_>). However, she is going to go through some pretty hard times here in the near future.
To summarize, basically, she fainted after the reception and was taken to the hospital. Within the first few days, no one really knows what's wrong with her other than dehydration and things like that. She will be stable and visitors will be allowed. After the first few weeks (yes, it's going to be weeks), they will slowly begin to discover she has acute myelogenous leukemia. Yes, this is real. One of my brother's friends has it, and even though he was doing better with it for a while, in fact, we were just told he's back in the hospital.
This is a very treatable form of leukemia, mostly with chemotherapy and things like that. Sooooo, basically, Penny is going to be out of commission during the summer. She may have better days than others, and it's still undetermined whether she will be well enough to return to Pearson to finish her last year of high school. She'll still be posting things in her journal whenever they allow her to use a computer, so people will be able to know her status sort of. Anything else that should be common knowledge but Penny won't tell you about, I'll post in the OOC.
So. Next question that I know you are all dying to ask... What happens to Songbird? Answer...? I have no idea right now. XD
