MAG is in a stolen nurses uniform carrying her baby. An elevator dings and she gets in -- this can be done with lights or sliding scrims. She talks to the baby.
MAG
Once upon a time there was a beautiful fat princess. Each morning she would get up from her night of romping slumber and apply the new shade of green to her famous fingers. Spring olive sea pine yellow jungle green on productive happy fingers. The people of the land loved their plump pretty. They loved her pillow breasts. They loved her gargantuan thighs, her rolling stomach, her bouncing butt, and her thick, thick arms. Her people loved her so, each night they held celebrations in her honor. Gatherings praising her might. Her beauty. Her prodigious mass. The Gods felt akin to the young princess. Being omnipresent. They allowed her to grow even larger. Creating her own space. Filling her own universe. She kept them safe inside. So much room inside. (The elevator dings again and the doors open. There stand RED, GRIFFIN, and JOSEPH.) Hi.
The group disappears behind the elevator doors. LEN enters.
