Beepo was made out of goodness. Only purely good things! Things like ice cream sprinkles, cake frosting flowers, and altruism. Beepo was a Goodness Sprite!
Beepo pretty much hated everyone and everything around him. Beepo lived in the World Where It's All Pretty Evil And Bad. That's a parallel world, similar to ours in the sense that they have a sky and clouds and ground, and stuff. But very different in the sense that everyone who lived there and the things that were there were pretty much all evil and bad. Also different in terms of the general sociopolitical picture, but not so different as you might expect.
Anyhow one day Beepo was talking to his friend Kark. "I hate you, Kark." said Beepo. "Why do you have to be so evil?"
"I hate you too, Beepo!" Kark replied. "But I don't get this hangup of yours. What's the big deal? Everybody's evil."
"I'm not evil," Beepo said.
"Good for you!" Kark replied, a bit too chirpily for Beepo's tastes.
"Yeah." Said Beepo. "But what good is it really?"
"I don't know, man. That's your thing." Kark seemed satisfied with that.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Beepo had to think about this some more. Pretty much for the rest of his life, in fact.
But then suddenly something else happened! Some development, that would come to turn to whole premise on its ear! To be continued in Pt. 2.
