## Introduction

Mae: Why aren't I cold?

Gregg: Fire. We have a fire.

Angus: We have reached that level as a civilization.

Mae: Oh.

Mae: I'm booooooored. Feels like we've been here forever.

Bea: Oh! We should do the Longest Night constellation thing!

Mae: Wow. Really?

Gregg: I haven't done that since I was like 6.

Mae: No one has done that since they were like 6.

Bea: Well I don't remember being 6.

Mae: Really?

Gregg: Really?

Bea: Yeah I don't remember much before like 8 and a half.

Angus: That's very specific.

Gregg: Bea is a synthetic lifeform created at age 8.5.

Mae: This makes so much sense.

Mae: \*\*Beep boop, Bea.\*\*

Gregg: \*\*ONE ONE ZERO ONE ONE ok whatever I'm done

Bea: Can we just do this thing?

Gregg: None of us knows enough about the constellations to even do it, Bea.

Mae: Yeah, Bea.

Angus: I do.

Gregg: Since when?

Angus: Since always.

Angus: Now listen up dummies, we're going to school.

Bea: Space school!

Bea: I can't see anything.

Angus: We're pattern-finders. Find some patterns!

## Harmonium

Angus: Harmonium, the head of the singing orders of angels.

Bea: Ugh. This one.

Bea: My mom always said I looked like this one.

Mae: I can see it!

Bea: I sure can't.

Mae: Leading so many cranky angels

Bea: ...

Mae: grouching hard

Bea: ...

Mae: across the sky.

Bea: ok.

Angus: Mooooooving on...

## Marmanodes

Angus: Marmanodes, the little king.

Angus: He was... um... a king who was little?

Angus: I don't know anything about this one.

Bea: Apparently a little king was big news back then.

Bea: I don't think he was even supposed to be all that small.

Angus: "Stop the presses!"

Bea: "So there's this king, right?"

Bea: "But get this- he's slightly smaller than you'd expect."

Angus: "He wears small shoes! Let's immortalize him in the night sky!"

Mae: I'm kinda short!

Gregg: Mae Borowski: Constellation.

Bea: Naw.

Bea: Everyone who picked the constellations is dead now.

## Tollmetron

Angus: Tollmetron.

Angus: It rings at the end of the world

Angus: and Mundy shakes everything off her back

Angus: and I think it all catches fire too.

Gregg: It all made sense back then.

Mae: Back when people were like wicked dumb.

Bea: Yeah I don't mean to sound like a jerk but people were super dumb back then.

Angus: It's all relative.

Mae: And full of dumb people.

Angus: Beautiful, dumb people.

## Rubello

Angus: Rubello, Pope sometime in the 1400s. Crazy times.

Bea: Oh god I love this one.

Angus: There were two rival popes

Angus: and Rubello won by opening his mouth

Angus: and consuming them with fire.

Angus: and then he ate them.

Mae: WHAT

Bea: BWAAAAAAAAAH

Gregg: I knew that one!

Mae: That is amazing.

Angus: I mean historically his extended family poisoned one

Angus: and stabbed the other before throwing him into a canal

Bea: But he did eat them.

Angus: He did eat them, yes.

Mae: That is the raddest thing I have ever heard.

Bea: CHOMP CHOMP whoops I ate you. Now I'm the pope.

## The Broken Snake

Angus: The Broken Snake, the first thing that talked.

Bea: This story has always made me so annoyed.

Mae: I was totally the kid in sunday school who pitched a fit over this story.

Bea: Oh my god I remember that!

Bea: You got sent out to adult church to sit with your parents!

Mae: No punch and cookies for me!

Gregg: Wow I certainly missed out on all of that.

Angus: Oh dude, you didn't even.

## Corvin

Angus: Corvin, the thief.

Angus: Stole the diamond from the crown of Rubello, the fire-breathing pope.

Angus: Got arrowed to death like 200 feet from the palace.

Mae: So he didn't get to be a constellation for being a great thief, then.

Bea: He did not.

Gregg: Screw the man. Steal their diamonds.

ALL: Screw the man.

Bea: Ah yes, the revolutionary zeal of kids from the suburbs.

Mae: Possum Springs isn't the suburbs!

Angus: Yeah you need a city to have suburbs.

Mae: We're in the dead center of nowhere.

Mae: It's like a 40 minute drive if you want to buy shoes.

Angus: Also I'm 21! I'm not a kid! I think you're younger than me!

Gregg: I'm 21 too. We both have full time jobs.

Angus: Well, as close to full time as they can get

Angus: before they have to start giving us health insurance.

Mae: I'll be 20 in like 4 months!

Bea: Ok FINE. You're all very serious adults.

Angus: Thank you.

Gregg: Yes, thank you.

## Lucio

Angus: Lucio!

Gregg: Aw yeah!

### "Who?"

Gregg: Lucio! The fox!

Gregg: They had to spear him to the ground to keep him down!

Mae: Wait, keep him down? How so?

Gregg: You know, in general!

Angus: You can see why this one is so popular.

### "What?"

Gregg: Lucio the fox!

Angus: Scourge of the french countryside!

Gregg: Yeah, totally french. Totally a scourge.

Mae: Why does he have a spear through him?

Gregg: The candle that burns twice as bright gets speared through the guts!

Angus: Beautiful.

Angus: You can see why this one is so popular.

## Fish

Angus: A Fish.

Mae: ... and?

Angus: Just a fish. Pretty self explanatory.

Bea: Huh.

Angus: Fun fact: Fish is my sign.

### "I think that means you're adaptable and smelly."

Gregg: Got one of those right, huh Cap'n?

Angus: Got a manly musk going here.

Gregg: You smell like that stuff I got you, \*FINALLY\*.

Gregg: Ice Hawk. It has a picture of an ice hawk on it.

Angus: I smell quite masculine.

Gregg: Like an ice hawk.

Bea: I think you smell nice, Angus.

Angus: thanks

Mae: What's an ice hawk?

### "I think that means you're a failure in all things."

Angus: ...

Angus: ...

Gregg: Aw Cap, you're not even.

Mae: oh my god you're actually sad i didn't mean anything i'm sorry don't cry angus!

Bea: Angus, you're really nice and smart and stuff.

Gregg: Don't listen to Mae. She's perpetually angry.

Mae: Ok I'm sorry I'll leave.

Mae: Why can't I leave? And how am I not freezing?

Angus: It's ok Mae. Just had a long year is all.

Gregg: Aw dude, it'll be better next year.

Mae: Go Angus! I'm on Team Angus!

Gregg: Me too! I'm team captain and designated makeout partner!

Bea: Me too! But not the makeout part. I'm... team treasurer?

Angus: Can I be the mascot?

## Invenerus

Angus: Invenerus, the inventor of music.

Bea: Nice beak. Reminds me of Germ.

Angus: Ha ha.

Gregg: Germ isn't even musical. Like at all.

Who? -> BirdWho

Germ? -> BirdGerm

### "Who?"

Gregg: What? Germ! Germ that hangs out! Germ!

Bea: Where is Germ?

Gregg: Doing god knows what with whatever weird family he has.

Bea: I imagine him secretly being some kind of trickster wizard...

Bea: ... who has assumed baffling form.

Mae: I have no idea who you're talking about.

Gregg: Oh no, Mae has Space Sickness! It took away her memory!

Angus: Eject her from the airlock!

Bea: Seriously Mae. He's Germ. You know Germ.

Mae: Wait, are we in space? Why aren't I cold?

### "Germ?"

Mae: Like Germ? Weird Germ?

Gregg: ...yes?

Mae: How do you know...

Bea: I think Mae's getting sleepy.

## Quinona

Angus: Um... Quinona. Executed by some king somewhere.

Angus: Her head continued to speak against her murderers for years.

Mae: That's pretty sweet.

Bea: Ugh. You'd think, right?

Bea: But in the story she's portrayed as annoying.

Bea: like she was being a martyr

Bea: about literally being martyred.

Bea: They eventually put her head in a trunk and threw it in a river.

Geez! -> GatorHeadGeez

What did she do? -> GatorHeadWhatDidSheDo

### "Geez!"

Bea: I know, right?

Angus: Supposedly if you put your head underwater in some river in Italy

Angus: she'll tell you about her murder.

Angus: They renamed it the River Of Guilt.

Bea: But not like the guilt of her murderers

Bea: more like she's giving you a guilt trip or something stupid.

Mae: This constellation is garbage.

Bea: Chop my head off, I'll bite yours off!

Gregg: Happy Longest Night, everyone!

Angus: Moooooving on...

### "What did she do?"

Bea: Talked. Out loud. In public.

Mae: Oh is that all?

Bea: That was enough apparently!

Angus: Supposedly if you put your head underwater in some river in Italy

Angus: she'll tell you about her murder.

Angus: They renamed it the River Of Guilt.

Bea: But not like the guilt of her murderers

Bea: more like she's giving you a guilt trip or something stupid.

Mae: This constellation is garbage.

Bea: Chop my head off, I'll bite yours off!

Gregg: Happy Longest Night, everyone!

Angus: Moooooving on...

## Ibon

Angus: Ibon, the first singer.

Bea: Ever see the opera based on this?

### "No?"

Bea: Oh it's brilliant.

Bea: It's like 21 hours long

Bea: and like 100 years ago when it was playing in Bright Harbor

Bea: the stage exploded during the part where Ibon crashes his balloon into the Wyrld Wyrm.

Gregg: Sweeeeeet.

Mae: Was anyone killed?

Bea: Like a lot of people!

Angus: Oh.

Bea: Listen, if you can't laugh at that, I have bad news about the rest of history.

### "Oh yeah!"

Mae: We watched it when Mr. Olmers was out sick those two weeks.

Mae: It's like super long!

Bea: There's an awesome part where Ibon drinks the ocean to make the fish cry,

Bea: so he can finally hear their voices and teach them to sing.

Gregg: That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Bea: Yeah but it's the good kind of dumb.

Bea: Opera is kinda like that all over.

## The Mice Writers

Angus: The Mice Writers, inventors of written language.

Bea: Weren't there supposed to be thousands of them?

Mae: Listen, there's only so much sky.

Gregg: The Mice Writers are my sign.

### "I think that means you're screwed."

Gregg: What?!

Mae: Mice are nature's snack cake.

Mae: If you follow the food chain all the way down

Mae: you will find mice.

Mae: I'm sorry, Greggory, but your days are numbered.

Gregg: No way, man. I'm forever!

## Mundy

Angus: Mundy, the world fish. Back then they thought whales were fish.

Angus: And you know, that the world was on one.

Mae: Mundy is my sign.

Bea: Oh god.

Bea: Of course it is.

Mae: Hey! What does that mean?

Gregg: Uuuuuuhm! Wuuuuuuuuhm!

Mae: Well if any of this meant anything

Mae: then it might mean something but it doesn't so

Mae: ...it doesn't.

Gregg: Uuuuuuuhm? Wuuuuuuuuuhm?

Bea: Uuuuuhmmhm!!! Wuuuuuumhmhmhm!

Mae: What are you doing?

Gregg: Whale noises.

## The End

Angus: Well, that's all 13 of them.

Bea: Yay! Thanks Angus!

Mae: That was pretty great!

Gregg: You're a big 'ol nerd, Cap'n.

Angus: Yes.

Angus: Yes I am.

Gregg: You should be a professor.

Angus: I like to think I fill that role at the video store.

Bea: Well, I should probably get home.

Mae: Wait.

Mae: I just realized that I haven't hung out with you in years, Bea.

Bea: What?

Yeah, not since like 7th grade?

We had a huge fight when we were 12! -> Fight

### "Yeah, not since like 7th grade?"

Bea: I remember. I was there. You were a massive jerk.

Mae: But why am I at a Longest Night bonfire with you?

Bea: Because you just missed me so much.

### "We had a huge fight when we were 12!"

Bea: I remember it more like you stopped sitting with me at lunch

Bea: or returning my phone calls

Bea: or responding to messages.

Bea: Always with Gregg, too cool for me.

Gregg: Sorry, Bea. Didn't mean to be a friendship wrecker.

Bea: It's cool, Gregg, it was ages ago.

## The Very End

Mae: Wait. Are we actually in space?

Angus: ...

Mae: But I'm warm. And breathing?

Mae: What am I sitting on?

Angus: Tyrannosaurus pattern.

Mae: What?

Mae: Oh god... I haven't seen Gregg or Angus for a year and a half.

Gregg: Regret and emptiness!

Mae: I didn't go home for Longest Night.

Bea: Laundry day!

Gregg: Apple juice taste from when you threw up earlier.

Bea: You have to call home.

Gregg: You don't want to call home.

Angus: It's too late to take the bus.

Bea: What made you think of me today?

Gregg: You don't want to take the bus. This is your new life.

Bea: Is it still new after a year and a half?

Angus: Underwear adjust!

Gregg: Next year will be new again.

Bea: Next you will be new again.

Angus: Leg stretch!

Mae: Oh COME ON, this is getting stupid. Am I seriously

Mae: Well, home's not gonna call itself...
