The muttering began again.

Discontent had the floor and apethy was at

his side.

Dispair and Selfishness sat to the right

while Vanity and Loneliness whispered together

on the left.

Faith and Hope were buried under mounds of

paperwork in the back, and Bitterness

bickered with every word said.

Chaos, of course, sat and watched the

proceedings with a faint smile;

awaiting his turn at the floor.

Nobody paid any attention to little Peace in

the balcony.

She hadn't had the floor in so long,

nobody probably remembered her name.

Her long-time companion, Prosperity,

had seen better days as well and was

currently trying to keep herself from

falling to pieces.

Everyone else in the room was wandering

aimlessly about without a clue as to

what was going on.
