Worm Full-Cast Production - Arc 3: Agitation
atrica for Emma Barnes
Emma is ~15 at the story's beginning, a pretty girl with red hair who works as an amateur model. She was formerly Taylor Hebert's best friend, but after a traumatic event she befriended Sophia Hess and adopted an "only the strong are worthy" view of the world. Now she is Taylor's main bully.
[Mocking, purposefully hurtful.]
“Every time I see you, it’s this irritating little reminder of time I wasted being your friend. You know those embarrassing events in your past that make you cringe when you think back on them? For me, that’s basically every sleepover, every juvenile conversation, every immature game you dragged me into.” (4.1)
[Worried, curious.]
“…Are you hurt? What happened?”
“Seriously, you’ve got me worried. You’re making it sound like this important thing, and you woke me up at ten past three in the morning, so it had better be important. Dish. Explain.” (10.x)
[Desperate to find something that will rile the other up. "Hebert" is pronounced "heeb-ert".]
“I’ve seen you break down in tears one too many times to buy that you don’t care. You’re a wimp, Hebert, a coward. You just want to look strong, pretend you’re something other than what you are.”
“You keep trying to run, Hebert, like a coward. You should thank me.” (20.3)
