Pen knows about the magic restaurant! You can go in it, and get food or things to drink (she has bracelets!) and then you just go back out the door and it's been no time at all and you're right where you went in.
She goes in. She is going to have cake.
Pen tries to brainphone Mommy.
She tries to brainphone Daddy.
She tries to brainphone Jane.
She tries her sisters and all the grownups she knows.
It doesn't work.
Gosh.
She tries to find an alt of Mommy, and that doesn't work.
She tries to find an alt of Daddy.
[Hi?]
"You sure do. Annnnd here we are," he says, turning off the street onto a path that winds through beds of plants and the occasional tree. There are apartment buildings on both sides, one right next to the tiny park, one separated from it by a small parking garage with unhealthy-looking potted trees sporadically lining the roof.
This remark is at least partially explained when he continues down the path all the way to the back of the parking garage, where the path ends at a rusted water fountain and the Joker heads for a large and extremely climbable oak tree next to the garage.
The top of the garage is covered with a more or less even layer of small rocks, and probably isn't meant for people to walk on. The Joker leads Pen to the nearest corner of the attached apartment building, where he opens a window as tall and broad as a door and hops down a few feet into someone's living room. Probably his.
There is a distinct lack of beds, although the living room is well supplied with couches.
Pen notes the lack of beds, and frowns and tries flopping on her front on a couch, but it doesn't have enough lateral space; one wing winds up sort of draped over the back of the couch and the other spills onto the floor. It's not terribly uncomfy, but she doesn't think she can sleep like that. "Hmm," she says, popping up again.

"Yaaaah," yawns Pen, getting up and stretching out all of her limbs. Feathers brush the walls. She yawns her way to the bed, picks at the hem of her flying vest but doesn't take it off since she doesn't have a nightgown here, and then just toes her shoes off and flops facefirst onto the bed, wings asprawl.
