_(Open scene with Hollow sketching in her bedroom.)_ **_Hollow_**: Nya! Dang—I gotta stop doing that. _(Air Strike (11) enters, their baby brother—who we’ll call Holy Saint (2)—walks in behind him.)_ **_Holy Saint_**: Hewo, Hollow, how are you doing? _(Hollow smiles, ignoring Air Strike and helping Holy Saint onto her bed, not forgetting to close her sketchbook for protection against the toddler)_ **_Hollow_**: I’m doing fine, Bean, how are you? **_Holy Saint_**: I’m good. _(He points to her newest stuffed toy that she got for Christmas) _Taco, please? _(Hollow hands Holy Saint her taco plush, then turns to Air Strike, narrowing her eyes)_ **_Hollow_**: What do you want? **_Air Strike_**: Come on! How do you know I came here for something. _(Hollow blinks slowly)_ **_Air Strike_**: Okay. Okay. I need a pencil. **_Hollow_**: Will you bring it back? **_Air Strike_**: …. **_Hollow_**: No. **_Air Strike_**: Wait! You didn’t let me answer! ＊＊＊ _(Open scene at lunch)_ **_Diva_**: So, how was everyone’s break? **_Emo_**: Eh. **_Honey Bear_**: We stayed with my dad’s fiancé’s grandpa._ (She shivers) _There was no source of technology in that whole house. **_Hollow_**: I went to a funeral. (Dive, Emo, and Honey Bear turn to her, those looks in their eyes.) **_Hollow_**: It was my great-great step-grandmother; I hardly knew her. **_Diva_**: It’s still a death, Hollow, how are you like this? _(Hollow shrugs)_ **_Hollow_**: Death doesn’t bother me. Everyone dies. **_Emo_**: True that. **_Hollow_**: Did you just agree with me? _(The table is quiet)_ **_Emo_**: No, bitch. Yes, I did._ (She points at Diva and Honey Bear) _You two shut up! ＊＊＊ _(Back at Hollow’s Home)_ **_Pigtails_**: BUT I WANT IT! _(Hollow and Pigtails are currently arguing over the last bagel. Air Strike is watching the proceedings while eating the chicken pie he microwaved.)_ **_Hollow_**: I TOUCHED IT FIRST! DIDN’T I, AIR STRIKE! (Air Strike raises his hands in peace) **_Air Strike_**: I’m _not_ involved with this. **_Mum_**: HOLLOW! PIGTAILS! SIT YOUR BEHINDS DOWN BEFORE _I_ EAT THAT BAGEL! **_Hollow, Pigtails_**: NOOOOO!! **_Air Strike_**, (and **_Holy Saint_** who has somehow wandered in the kitchen unnoticed): YESS! **_All Siblings_**: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH _(Hollow, Pigtails, Air Strike, and Holy Saint continue to scream. No doubt the neighbors hear them; the walls are thin. Mum sighs, putting her head in her hands before continuing her work.)_ **_Mum_**: Why did I have four kids? _(She looks down at her skinny body)_ _How_ did I have four kids? ＊＊＊ _(Open scene at Lunch)_ _(Hollow, Diva, and Honey Bear are talking to two boys behind them. Emo is on her phone. We’ll call one boy Baseball Hat, and the other Nice Guy.)_ **_Baseball Hat_**: _No_, I do not lick children. You _misheard_ what I said, _Hollow_. **_Hollow, Diva, Honey Bear_**: We all heard you say that you lick children, man. **_Diva_**: And you said that you bang guys. **_Baseball Hat_**: I do NOT bang guys. I am a fully straight man—I’ve gone hard from titties. **_Hollow, Honey Bear_**: WHAAAA— _(Nice Guy looks up from his lunch and his phone, peeved that this conversation is even happening.) _**_Nice Guy_**: Baseball Hat, shut up before you make this worse. Do you have evidence that he said any of this, Diva? **_Diva_**: Nooo…. **_Nice Guy_**: Then the victim is proven innocent. **_Honey Bear_**: The victim did say he licks children, though. _(Baseball Hat flushes red.)_ **_Baseball Hat_**: No I did NOOOOT!
