Oblivion: Yay! Chapter two! I'm actually really excited for this. I've been thinking about the idea that each genre being a person…and then inside out came to mind. It fit so I just decided to make this…yeah that's about it. Also I will reference Dragon Age a lot, but you don't need to play it to understand this fic. Anything you'd like to add, Sadness?
Sadness: Yeah…could you hook me up with someone?
Oblivion: *sweating nervously* hehe, um, yeah, maybe, we'll see. Let's just start the story.

Riley's POV…
I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to start my story. I don't have any practice today or anything planned for this Sunday, so I have all day to figure this out. I open up my laptop and start brainstorming.
Five hours later…
Dammit all! Why can't I think of anything?! I get some snacks and start playing some Dragon Age. As I play through the game I see a couple of characters that seem really cute together…Serena and Alistair…Holy carp! I open up text and start typing franticly. Why didn't I think of this earlier!? As I write the story just starts forming and molding to my liking…I know what my mistake was earlier…I was trying to think out the story in one go, but I put the story together as I write…I guess my English class was wrong. (not saying that people who write like that are bad, I just know there are people who think as they go and I am one of those people). When I finish the story I post it online and then I wait…
Joy's POV…
I stand there worried, looking at the blank island.
"What do you think is going to be there?" Fear asked nervously
"I don't know…Maybe it'll be good? You never know. I mean, think of all the possibilities!" I tried to sound upbeat but I know my voice was laced with worry.
All of a sudden the island began to shake wildly and things were sprouting from it; a huge pencil, some giant books, some giant letters that look like buildings that spelled out FFN. The other emotions ran over to see what had just happened. The island wasn't done just yet. A tube started to extend from the island to the base of the control center. Fear started screaming and Disgust started complaining on how the tube looks, and Anger, well let's just say the roof has taken enough and an opening formed from the heat.
"Is that…Fanfiction island?" Sadness asked.
"I think it is." I answer in a half daze.
On Fanfiction Island…General's POV… (Should general count as a genre? Leave a review letting me know so I can change this.)
I come to consciousness in a huge room with twenty other people. For some reason I know all of their names just by looking at them. I seem to be on some sort of podium with the others looking at me expectantly. A rush of thoughts and ideas rush to my head and I suddenly know what to do.
"We are the inhabitants of Fanfic Island. Our job is to work with the emotions to create stories and ideas! One by one or in small groups we will introduce our selves to the emotions! I will go first!" I say aloud to all of them.
Instructions just popped into my mind and I went outside of the building we were in to a thin tube that led to some sort of tower. I look around and notice that there are a lot of other islands around us but none of them had a tube big enough for a person to comfortably fit inside. I hesitantly crawled into the tube and it sucked me in real quick. I would have panicked, but for some reason I didn't. During the ride I start gaining facts and memories. My name is general and we are inside the mind of a girl named Riley. Our main purpose is to help Riley write stories and come up with ideas. There are emotions that control Riley's mind and, at times, body. I look at my reflection in the glass and examine myself, I have grey skin and rainbow colored short hair. I'm wearing some jeans and a black tee. I also appear to be male, After a few minutes I slow down and reach the center tower which I now know as the control center.
I gingerly climb out of the tube at the base of the tower, I look around and see an elevator that must lead to the top. I step in and the door closes…and it opens not two seconds after. Is it broken? I step out and see that I'm in an entirely different room with five other people looking outside of a glass wall. I look to my right and see some huge control panel. I decide to greet, who I assume to be, the Emotions. I walk over to see what they were looking at. I look over their shoulders only to find out they were staring at the island I was just on.
"H-hey" I stutter.
The greyish purple one fainted and the rest jumped away, except the one with yellow skin and blue hair. She jumped but she didn't jump away. She turned around calmly to greet me.
"Hi, my name is Joy. What's yours?" She tried to ask calmly but I could tell she was worried about something.
I give a small smile to help calm her nerves. It seemed to work a little.
"My name is General. It's nice to meet you." I hold out my hand for her to shake.
Almost all of the visible tension in her body went away and she shook my hand.
"You can just call me Gen though"

Oblivion: I know, not much longer than the last but, it is a little, the chapters will get longer I promise. For now though, all it will be is the introductions of the other twenty Genres…oh boy. After that it will just be shenanigans and stuff. There will be no real end to it. After a while updates won't be as frequent…just like my happiness only comes about once every month…and it gets less and less frequent.
Sadness: I barely feel happiness once a year…
Joy: Cheer up guys! At least we have fanfics to write to pass the time!
Sadness & oblivion: Okay…
