     "Once upon a time, a really long time ago, like at the beginning, there was a group of people who looked at the empty space, and said 'Alright, let's work.' And they are the ones who jump-started humanity onto making it what it is now. The history involves a lot of boring wars and fighting between people, so I won't include it, for your sake. Anyway, very recently, within the last 17 years, a man and a woman got together, and made an ultimate badass. This badass's name was... Jerish. Jerish Mirewalker. Jerish is a cool dude who gets all the ladies, and eve-"

"Dude"
"What?!? Can't you tell I'm telling the story of our great city?"
"Yes, that's why we're doing this, but why the fuck are you including all this 'Jerish Mirewalker' bullshit? We both know that it's just your self-insert name, Jeremy."
Jeremy replies, "No, that's uh... a different guy entirely. Yeah, I don't even know this Jerish but they sound like a cool guy. Cooler than you anyway, Danny."
Danny simply looks at Jeremy in an annoyed way, making Jeremy stutter, "Y-yeah, I was uh, joking of course, because that's not how the story goes at all!"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, lemme start over."
"Mkay, but it better be right this time!"
"It will, it will."

After some silence, and another look from Danny, Jeremy begins again.

"So around 50 years ago, a group of 6 Sregam, 3 Sretif and 3 Segam, decided to build their house here, which as more people flocked to be near them, grew into The Great City, Sarina. They seperate everyone into either Sretif or Segam by age 4. Around 30 years ago, a group of Sregam decided that they needed more power, so they revolted against the High Six, and instigated a war lasting 15 years. Many Sregam died, and so each year, we honor their sacrifice by holding The Lighting of The Candles, a competition, during which the top 100 pairs duke it out, and the final 3 get to meet with the High Six. And with that, let me introduce myself."

"There you go!"
"Fuck off... these things suck, I wish they'd just skip the beginning, and get straight to fighting."
"Well, we need to learn our history, my Sretif."
"Oh eat shit, you know how much I hate being called that, Segam" Jeremy spits this out, dragging the title longer, making it sound more like say-gam.
Danny replies with, "Listen, bub, we were destined from birth to be paired, so whether you like it or not, and btw, I think you do like it, but like it or not, you are being called that."
"Fine, but why do I have to do the talky-stuff?" Jeremy groans.
"Because I'll be busy doing the diagram, you fucknut."
"Ooh, that's a new one! Fucknut, I like it."
"Alright, you sticking with that one?" Danny asks, referring to the rehearsed paragraph. 
"Yeah, might as well. It's the best one we've got."
"Wanna get some Froze n' Joes? I'll pay."
"Don't we share the same account now?" Jeremy squints questioningly at Danny, who smiles, giggles, and then laughs, while Jeremy puts his hands to his face, and they walk out of the room.

End of Episode.
