“So dollface, what’s your story?” Agony said with a long drag on her cigarette.

          “Oh, sure ask her that.” Motif sneered.

          “Typical narcissistic behavior,” said Thesis, “asking others about themselves so that you can have an excuse to talk about you.” Agony reached over and smacked him on the back of the head, were it not for the chain she might have cost him his glasses.

          “It is such a rude thing for a woman to be violent.” Said Duenna disapprovingly.

          “Fuck off Duenna!” Agony cried. 

           "And such language!" Duenna gasped. Agony repeated herself and Motif nodded.

          “Couldn’t agree more, Aggs. Swear words fucking rule!” Motif grinned and nudged the man beside him, “Don’t you think so, Sequel?” Sequel didn’t move, let alone speak.

          “I asked the woman what her story is!” said Agony loudly.

          “Fine.” Everyone (barring Sequel) said.

          “Story?” Said Ruby, “Well I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.”

          “Whatever story you want to introduce yourself with.” Explained Motif,           “Could be about your life before The End, or during, or after. Just some important thing that happened to you.” he explained.

          “I’m sure she has some long sob story with lots of melodrama and teary looks into the distance.” groaned Thesis.

          “It would be nice to hear a simple, happy story for once, in my opinion.” Said Motif.

           “No one cares what you think, Motif!” Agony growled.

           “I agree with Motif, It would be nice to have something to cheer us up.” Duenna agreed.

           “No one cares what you think either, Duenna!” grumped Agony.

           “Asserting your opinion with certainty that it is the opinion of the group,” Drawled Thesis, “Yet another narcissistic behavior.”

           “Fuck off shitwig!” Agony roared, “It’s Ruby’s story. She’s gonna say whatever she’s gonna say, and you're all gonna shut the fuck up and listen!”

           “I’ve had just about enough of that mouth of yours missy!” Duenna scolded.

           “I haven’t! Swear words are a fucking blast aren’t they Ruby!” Motif smiled. Agony furrowed her brow.

           “Well…” Ruby said, “I suppose I’m not all that accustomed to them.” Duenna let out a very fake and obnoxious laugh in response to this. Agony glared at her. Thesis smiled.

            “Just tell your story and get on with it.” Said Duenna, very annoyed.

           “Well-” Ruby started.

          “Well, well, well, Is that the only way you know how to start a sentence?” Complained Motif, “Would a little variety kill you?”

           “You are being very intolerant, Motif.” Said Duenna.

             “ALRIGHT!” Yelled Agony, “NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS! Let’s just here the goddamn, shitty, motherfucking story! OKAY?!?!”

            “For once, I agree with her.” Said Thesis, saying “her” as if it were profane. Motif shrugged and nodded. Duenna looked scandalized but said nothing. Instead she picked up her doll and started toying with the loose threads.
