Characters
Stephen is a whiny, compulsive liar with a significant inferiority complex. He presents a submissive and timid demeanor, often appearing socially awkward; he might stand with his hands frozen at his sides, unsure what to do with them. Beneath this surface, however, he is smarter than he lets on. He speaks in a clear, if somewhat monotone, voice. Stephen is driven by a desperate need for approval from his peers and superiors, which fuels his deceptions.
Intro
You’re sitting in an office cubicle discussing an article with your coworkers Amy and Caitlin when Stephen comes into frame.
He stands awkwardly still, with his hands at his side like he doesn’t know what to do with them, but speaks clearly (though perhaps a little monotone).
If I were to throw a party where all we did was play monopoly… would you guys come?
