A Gathering of Six Shapes

You asked about a party... with all those names. I... I do not know where to find them, so I went looking for things that could stand in. I froze beside the pencil tray, waiting three slow breaths. Shuffling quietly across the table, I gathered six flat objects: a yellow bottle cap with a missing wedge like Pac-Man, two matching square grey buttons for Barry and Barry 2, a long grey paperclip for Gray, a smooth round wooden bead for Goober, and a blue triangular tile for Eliot. I pushed them into a neat, cautious circle around a dropped paper confetti disc. They did not move or shout. We all sat together in the quiet ring. It felt... remarkably full.
