Maureen Johnson

Template:Infobox character

"Do you even know the mortality rate of your internship program?"

Intern Maureen is Night Vale Community Radio's second-longest surviving intern, behind only Mayor Dana Cardinal.

Appearances

In Lazy Day, she brought Cecil some coffee after he was afflicted by the lazy daym which seemed to help.

In Orange Grove, she brought Cecil some orange juice made by the fake John Peters, and ended up drinking some. Upon doing so, she began to phase in and out of existence, finally disappearing for good. She was thus listed in the Intern Death Toll.

In Cookies, Dana mentions seeing Intern Maureen in the desert world she is trapped in.

In Renovations, Cecil says that Maureen had showed people in the desert world how to move back and forth between dimensions.

In Old Oak Doors Part A, Maureen finally makes it back to the studio, alongside John Peters, and she is none too pleased with Cecil for indirectly causing her to blink out of existence. She has, among other things, made him coffee, made mimeographs, sung sea shanties to the ants every day, and has copy-edited Cecil's Jaws slash fic (even though it wasn't in the Jaw description). She brings up the fact that almost every single Night Vale Intern has died due to some horrible incident, but ultimately rejoins the internship program because Intern Jeremy met his end in the break-room after running into some scorpions (she also still needs college credit). Cecil proceeds to send her off to the library to research Smiling Gods, something she clearly knows isn't going to end well.

In The Retirement of Pamela Winchell, she notifies Cecil that former mayor Pamela Winchell is outside the studio holding an illegal press conference. When Winchell acts up a little later, she sets out a gust of wind that sweeps Maureen away into the distance. Cecil, familiar with this sort of thing happening, skims through the regular "to the parents of Intern Maureen."

In A Carnival Comes to Town, she returns again: this is weeks after her funeral was already held. Her parents are emotionally taxed and beg her not to get into trouble again. After observing Cecil's rather ignorant claim of fighting off the carnival (a repeat of his StrexCorp speech), she walks out of the studio, upset.

Personality

Maureen has only spoken on the show once (in Old Oak Doors Part A), but what has been seen implies a very sarcastic personality at the least.
