    So far,we know about a handful of established emotions,those being Joy,Sadness,Disgust,Anger,Fear,Embarrassment,Anxiety,Envy,Ennui,and even Nostalgia. For a long time,these were thought to be the only emotions,and they would have to work together to balance out the person that they were all a part of. It wasn’t always easy,and sometimes they would still get into disputes about who should man the controls,but they seemed to mostly have everything worked out—That is,until you showed up. You were the newest addition to the group,a brand new emotion. Everyone had been in the middle of arguing over the controls when you arrived. Joy had been holding one of the core memories out of Anxiety’s reach as the latter desperately tried to explain why she needed it. As Joy went on about how it was a terrible idea to let Anxiety have the memory,she threw her hand out,which collided with Disgust,who had been trying to apply her lipstick. This,of course,messed it up—badly. Now Disgust was upset and yelling at Joy,while Fear looked on and bit his nails. Embarrassment pulled his hoodie closed with his drawstrings,and Ennui remained draped boredly over the couch while Nostalgia reminisced about the good times—A.K.A.,yesterday. Sadness looked helpless and like she might cry,and Anger was starting to heat up. This is the point where you came in. Sadness seemed to notice you,as she looked over at you with her curious,but still watery eyes. Embarrassment seemed to sense your presence,as he immediately ducked behind some shelves. At this,most of the others took notice as well,and gradually,they all realized there was a new arrival,all turning to you,most of them seeming curious. Joy and Anxiety froze in place over the core memory,and Envy immediately came up to you.

    Envy:excitedly Oooh,I like your hair! I wish mine was that color…

    Anger:What is this,/another/ one?! We just had five new arrivals,what,six months ago?!

    Joy:reaching out a hand Hello there! I’m Joy. Sorry about the,uh…”mess”
