Episode 2: Flight of the n00bs

Tumblr is standing in the elevator on her way to the seventh floor. She gets an idea and excitedly waits for the doors to open.

Tumblr: Some... [doors open] BODY ONCE TOLD- what?

Tumblr stops her "shreksperience" and looks around. Edge is talking to a group of websites Tumblr has never seen before. Most of her coworkers are gathered in the corner near Pinterest's tab, which is in the middle of two empty tabs. Tumblr walks over to the group, but before she's there Edge calls to her.

Edge: Hello Tumblr!

Tumblr: Hey Claire.

Edge: You're so silly Tumblr! You know my name is Edge!

Tumblr: Right. So interesting.

Edge: Anyway, Tumblr, I'm sure you'd absolutely love to introduce yourself to our new members!

Tumblr: Hey. If anyone needs me, I'll be over there coming up with a new use for that meme. *walks away*

Edge: Just ignore her. We're best friends.

*the theme song plays*

Tumblr: [to group] Can you believe that?

Google: Sadly, yes. The new update says that every year we have to move people to new floors based on their work performance. We're having a meeting about it in a few minutes.

Facebook: Hey Google, isn't it funny how Edge can call meetings but you can't?

Google: Hilarious.

*a few minutes later*

The websites are gathered in Conference Room A. Edge is standing at the head of the table with note cards to read from.

Edge: Okay, is everyone here? 

Instagram: Why do you always ask that?

Edge: I just want to make sure everyone is included.

DevA: Who cares if we miss someone? Start the meeting!

Edge: Okay... uh... Welcome, everyone. This is actually my first meeting I've called ever.

Tumblr: Oh really?

Yahoo: Be nice to Edge! It's only her second day. Go on, sweetie.

Edge: Thank you! Anyway, uh, as I was saying, I'd like to introduce you to the newest members of the seventh floor offices. Transferring from the third floor: Journalism and News, we have Buzzfeed. Why don't you introduce yourself, Buzzfeed?

Buzzfeed: Hey, I'm Buzzfeed. Pronouns are she/they. I was brought here because apparently my "news" wasn't "important" and "quizzes" aren't "news".

Quotev: I already have quizzes covered here.

Edge: Wait, you both have quizzes? You should totally be BFFs!

Tumblr: Edge, that makes as much sense as a Potterhead marrying a Twihard.

[Buzzfeed laughing loudly]

Buzzfeed: OMG That is HILARIOUS! Who said that? What's your name?

Tumblr: Alexander Hamilton.

Buzzfeed: OMG you're hilarious! I'll be keeping an eye on you.

Tumblr: Great. I have a fandom.

Edge: Okay, moving on, from the sixth floor we have... Snapchat!

Instagram: [on one end of the table] Snapchat?!

Snapchat: Instagram!!

Instagram and Snapchat run to each other, hug, and take selfies.

Edge: You know each other?

Snapchat: Uh, doy!

Instagram: We went to high school together!

Snapchat: We're best friends!

Edge: That is so cool! Now, last order of business: The music websites' offices are being moved here for the year in account of the renovations to their floor not yet being finished. I have two of them here with me right now: Spotify and Pandora!

Spotify: Wazzup?

Pandora: Spotify! We are respectable musicians!

Spotify: Oh, sorry. Lemme try again. Waddup?

Pandora: *sighs*

Edge: They'll fit right in, won't they? Well, I don't want to keep you all too long, I'm sure you have better things to do. Meeting disbanded!

*

Edge is showing the new websites to their tabs. Pandora, Spotify, and the rest of the music  websites are on the other side of the break room. Buzzfeed and Snapchat are on either side of Pinterest. Shipper's island and Selfie Squad are still next to each other and still fighting.

Yahoo: Why are you guys fighting again?

Facebook: Tumblr's existing too close to me. Can you tell her to exist somewhere else?

Tumblr: Nice try. I was here first.

Facebook: Only because you sprinted to the desk after the meeting ended.

Tumblr: Fair is fair.

Yahoo: Look, If you guys really can't get along I'll ask Edge if I can put up a cardboard wall between you two. But I think you guys could become great friends if you just put effort into being nice.

Facebook: I see what you mean... *thinking* Can I help with the wall?

Tumblr: SHE'S GONNA BUILD A WALL AND MAKE ME PAY FOR IT!

Facebook: STOP CALLING ME DONALD DRUMPF I HATE HIM TOO!

*across the office*

YouTube: So I'm in this group because I'm like the king of video sharing.

Vine: Yeah.

YouTube: And you're here because you're a close second.

Vine: It's just a different format!

YouTube: Sure. And there's an empty desk over there because we don't know if anyone else will be moved here eventually.

Vine: I don't see any problem with that. 

YouTube: Me neither. But why, uh, why is she here?

Vine and YouTube turn to look at Quotev who is using nail polish to paint "Starry Night" on her desk walls.

Quotev: Why are any of us here? That's the real question.

YouTube: You'll be able to wash that off, right? I think that counts as vandalism.

Quotev: *shrugs, puts on 3D glasses, and continues painting*

Vine: Oh well. Whatever makes her happy.

Edge walks over to the group.

Edge: Hello! I just realized I never really got a chance to get to know you guys yesterday and- *distracted by Quotev's art* That is so pretty! Did you paint that?

Quotev: *still painting* No. 

Vine: Just ignore her.

Edge: Why would I ignore her? *tries to talk to Quotev again* Are you an artist?

Quotev: NO! I'm an author! *turns back to painting* I'm an author.

Edge: Then why are you-

Quotev: Writing research.

Edge: And the glasses?

Quotev: Writing. Research.

Edge: Well, what do you write?

Quotev: Stories, quizzes, etc.

Edge: Cool! Can I take a quiz?

Quotev: *still painting* Sure. What's your favorite color?

Edge: All of them!

Quotev: *stops painting. Stares into camera like she's on the office*

Edge: Um? Hello???

Quotev: *still staring into camera like she's on the office*

Edge: What is going on?

Vine: I think she's frozen. Just leave her, she'll reset soon.

Edge: Okay. What do you think, YouTube?

YouTube: *buffering*

Edge: *sighs and walks away*

Quotev and YouTube un-freeze.

Vine: What was that?

Quotev: A self defense mechanism. Nobody's favorite color is everything!

YouTube: How do you know?

Quotev: *puts 3D glasses back on dramatically and goes back to painting*

*

Spotify is talking to DevA. Pandora walks up behind her.

Spotify: I bet I can make a playlist for that aesthetic you're currently working on.

Instagram: That would be awesome!

Pandora: Spotify, what are you doing?

Spotify: Stuff.

Pandora: Well, that stuff can wait. We have work to do!

Spotify: Fine. Be there in a sec.

Pandora: *walks away*

Instagram: Wow, Pandora seems pretty uptight.

Spotify: Yeah, gotta love her though. We've been together for years. I'm the fun one, she's the smart one. We make it work.

Pandora: Spotify, come on!

Spotify: Seeya later. Text me! *runs off after Pandora*

Instagram: To ship or not to ship?

*

Buzzfeed: Top 20 important things from Edge's meeting only 90's kids will remember!

Facebook: No one cares!

Buzzfeed: Number 6 may surprise you.

Facebook: Fine, give me that. *reads* Wow! Number six did surprise me!

Buzzfeed: If you liked that, may I suggest trying this quiz: Which new website are you based on your Zodiac Sign?

Facebook: I guess I'll take it. It's not like I believe in astrology anyway. It's all a bunch of- *looks up* I got you.

Buzzfeed: YOU GOT ME!

Facebook: THE STARS ARE ALIGNED IN MY FAVOR! FEAR THE WRATH OF THE AQUARIUS!

Tumblr: Ugh. Preps.

Buzzfeed: Was that a meme?

Tumblr: Yeah. My Immortal to be exact.

Fanfic: Just let it die already.

Buzzfeed: Brb Facey, I need to document this.

Facebook: Don't call me that.

Tumblr: Facey? That's almost as bad as the time Bing called Google "Googs"

Buzzfeed: Another meme!

Tumblr: Barely.

Buzzfeed: MEMES! Gotta catch'em all! *chases after Tumblr*

Tumblr: NO! *runs away*

Facebook: [talking to everyone still in group] Anyway, I was thinking of getting a makeover. I can't stand the thought of any of these new people being prettier than me.

Fanfic: Didn't you just get a hair cut?

Facebook: Yeah, but the style makes me look like Dora the Explorer's blonde cousin.

Twitter: Technically that wouldn't be possible.

Instagram: Dora can have a talking back pack, a talking map, a talking fox as her enemy, and a talking purple monkey as her best friend, but a blonde cousin is where you draw the line?

Twitter: Why do you know so much about Dora?

Instagram: I'm trying to learn Spanish! Don't judge me!

Tumblr: *runs back in* Things are heating up in the Dora fandom.

Buzzfeed: L O L!!!

Pinterest: Hey Buzzfeed, great post about that time Tumblr referenced My Immortal!

Tumblr: That was 3 minutes ago!

Buzzfeed: Isn't she hilarious?

Pinterest: That's what I've been telling her for years! Mind if I join this follow-train?

Tumblr: This is a human centipede of bad ideas.

Buzzfeed: I should start a "Tumblr talks about movies" post!

Tumblr: This is Shrektacualry idiotic. *runs off being chased by Buzzfeed and Pinterest*

Facebook: Anyway, anyone else want to come with me for the makeovers? [hopeful tone in voice] Twitter? [judgmental voice] Fanfic?

Fanfic: What's that supposed to mean?

Instagram: I could go for an update. All this hipster stuff is getting a little too mainstream.

Twitter: What a paradox.

Wattpad: I'd like an update too. There's a lot more competition these days.

Facebook: What competition do you have? The only other writing websites here are your girlfriend and...

Quotev: *still wearing 3D glasses, rolls by in the background on a swivel chair*

Wattpad: Edge said not everyone's here yet!

Facebook: Hey, I'm not stopping you. So, does this mean Fanfic is coming too?

Fanfic: Facebook, no!

Facebook: Your loss. Okay, so I can probably get us all the day off tomorrow, and we can go!

Instagram: How will you manage to do that?

Facebook: Watch and learn. Hey Edge?

Edge: *runs over* Yes Facebook?

Facebook: Can I maybe have the day off tomorrow?

Edge: Sure! Take the whole week if you need to!

Facebook: Thanks.

*Quotev rolls by again, this time in front of the group*

Edge: She's unfrozen! Sorry guys, gotta run. TTYL! *chases after Quotev*

Facebook: That was easy.

Wattpad: Idk... I don't want to just skip a day of work. I'll take a personal day.

Facebook: Fine. Suit yourself.

A/N Sorry for the rush ending, but this is a lead in to next week's episode.

Questions of the week: Who's your favorite new character? Mine are probably Spotify and Pandora, because they'll have a fun episode later.

Also, I apologize in advance for the next 2 episodes, to you and my characters.

Stay golden, web-fans!
