Awesome strode easily into the room. Several adjectives had already gathered, some wrapped in bulky clothing to conceal their identities. Awesome surveyed the room and decided that three rows back, two chairs in was a good place to spread out.

He detoured to the back of the room for some coffee and a danish. While the pastries had obviously been sitting out all day, the warm glow of his resplendent aura soon had his bearclaw piping hot. He noticed a quiet adjective in the back row just behind him, eyeing him with interest. Awesome decided to make small talk.

“Hey, friend,” he offered. “This your first time, too?”

The adjective barely registered his presence. “Nope. You must be Awesome.”

Awesome was somewhat surprised. “Oh! I thought we had a no-names thing going here.”

“Come on! Everybody knows you,” said the adjective. “How could they not? With that stupid aura and everything…”

Awesome was undeterred. “What’s your name then, buddy?”

“Envious,” he sneered. “Not that you care, anyway.”
