The Drummer is a classic musician, he feels slightly above proceedings, not in an arrogant way, just as a pit musician of a show might. Maintains relaxed humorous attitude toward proceedings. Happy Foley, just as his name suggests is the happy sound effects guy. He is excited to be
part of of the show, excited to get featured moment as answering machine, pretty much excited about everything. Jack is one of those people who is simply not terribly angst-ridden. He is enthusiastically throwing a New Year’s Eve party. Narrator 3 is more mischievous in terms of being into the show
sometimes making fun of the whole thing.
