Note: I got inspiration, but I have no idea if this will turn into a series or just be a one shot. It's about a group of souls.
"This time, I want to be the bad guy."
"No you don't. The bad guy always loses."
"No he doesn't! You almost never lose."
"That's because I know what I'm doing. Practice. You wouldn't be a good bad guy."
"Isn't that a contradiction? And hey, maybe I'd be a better bad guy than you."
"No you wouldn't."
A soft laugh broke across the childish squabbling, and this voice was just as genderless and light as the other two. "Bored so soon? I thought you would have lasted longer, it's only been a few centuries since the last game."
"Easy for you to say, you have something to do. You never play our game. I think you should this time, be involved instead of just to the side like usual."
"Oh? So we're letting that one be the bad guy while I'm... what? The hero?"
"No. If I'm the bad guy, then the hero has to be that one there. You should be the girl! There always needs to be a girl."
The one with silver eyes shook its head, then looked past the others, the appointed bad guy and yet undecided to the one moving towards them. "Gold was the mother last time."
The bad guy, blue eyed and shining, seemed to pout. "But she died before the game even began. I think that doesn't work well at all."
The one in discussion turned fire tinged orange on the other two, laughing again. "Fine. I'll chose the ambiguous third party. I'll outlive you both."
The good guy laughed, shaking its head. "You have to be involved."
"I'll be involved, I promise you. You'll regret dragging me in by the time we're through."
The bad guy turned to follow the gaze of the good. "If we're going to play such a different game, we should invite the others. See who here wants to do something else."
"Some of us like who we once were." It was the one that had caught their attention, radiant and black. "But I will play. I will be the girl."
"But you've never played a girl before." Who asked was hard to say, silver and blue still watching closely.
"I am aware. I know some who would like to play other roles as well. I even found a field."
"You were bored!" This time from the third party, and they all laughed at the scorn in posture in turn.
"I was. We have visited there several times, but other souls always go instead. It needs a good game."
"This is going to change you all." Soft white light was all that could be seen of the new, chiding them all. "We never finish games the same as we began them."
"Is that so bad?" It was the blue, the one that started it all, wanting to be the bad guy.
"...No. It would be boring otherwise. But I chose the father. I want to be like myself when the game is finally finished."
Blackness swelled and flexed, and the Girl turned in place. "You know these games always do the unexpected once we place the pieces."
"The best friend." Soft and small, the voice drifted through, delicate crystalline joining the circle. "I think we should let the others come as they may... if none of you mind so."
There was a pause, each seeming to consider the quiet one, the one who seemed to always be away from their games entirely. That this one wished to play... There were nods. The rest could be surprises then.
"I suppose you go first then Father. Then me. I want to be ready when the rest arrive."
The bad guy was overeager, but it was a gentle soul and didn't realize what it asked. In time though, it would understand. Still, changing the roles never did any harm, it just kept them from being bored.

Okay, my first thought was a good gay guy, then I reread and got my mind out of the gutter.
Wow, I'm not sure who everyone is, but it's neat and I kinda wanna read more to find out.
