Act 2 Scene 1:
(A new location: Worcestershire's cobblestone streets were eerily deserted, flanked by grand and opulent buildings adorned with Narcissian banners)

(Stage directions: golden, soft lights, should amplify the white and gold aesthetic)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdc3q0zqzq
(Lord Preen, the protagonist, the Adapetus Æther, and ambassador vanity all enter the scene)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFiGI6ucix
Ambassador Vanity: Welcome to Worcestershire, my dear guests. The empty streets, a sign of respect to our grand arrival.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOoSiT1hjw
Protagonist: (In awe) Such a splendid sight! The grandeur of these buildings is unlike anything I’ve ever beheld.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbhdnj6IFa
Adapetus Æther: The architecture here is indeed of unparalleled magnificence.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFCR0XOIy
Ambassador Vanity: Narciss, you see, is unrivalled in innovation and progress. Our regions, each more remarkable than the last, play a vital role.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eCaJcHha7
Protagonist: And, Ambassador Vanity, could you share with us the specifics of how these regions contribute to this progress?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxD8dTo4IG
Ambassador Vanity: Very well. Allow me to present to you Worcestershire, the pinnacle of Narcissian grandeur, the veritable epicentre of power. High-Exarch Worce himself orchestrates the ceaseless rhythm of this administrative domain, where golden gears of governance grind with precision. In this illustrious realm, power flows like a cascading river, and influence is measured in the weight of secrets held. Worcestershire, a masterpiece of intricate architecture, is a living testament to the astute political wit of its High-Exarch. Under his rule, Narciss thrives in an atmosphere of calculated elegance, as each gear in the political machinery plays its part.

(Lord Preen decides to express his boredom by inserting dry jokes and snide comments after every description)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7fyjkjepn
Lord Preen: (Dry) Bureaucracy: Worcestershire’s main export and Exarch Worce’s favourite pastime.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNt2DZ7Bw
(The protagonist tries to stifle her laughter at this)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Q1CaDcEA
Ambassador Vanity: Behold, Luxequinox, a radiant bastion of innovation in the realm of Narciss. High-Exarch Lux, a brilliant mind and a maven of progress, guides this realm towards the zenith of technological achievements.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5neXEm9me
Lord Preen: In Luxequinox, they’ve likely invented an ætheric device that can detect ethical dilemmas and promptly ignore them.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0l8hlADRf
Ambassador Vanity: Ah, Valerium, a place of great sustenance for our society. High-Exarch Val is a perfectionist in both agriculture and medicine, ensuring that our people have access to the finest care. His meticulous approach makes him an exemplary leader in these vital fields.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF5G0L5yus
Lord Preen: (wryly) Valerium – the land where they grow crops so meticulously that they probably count every grain of wheat individually!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpfJXhKj0V
Ambassador Vanity: In Xyrolith, a realm of excessive mineral abundance and supposedly fine craftsmanship, High-Exarch Onyx governs her people with what some consider an excessively soft heart. It has been insinuated that her unwavering compassion may sometimes hinder the efficiency of her rule. It is a place where an unbridled surplus of minerals mingles with what can only be described as sentimentality, forging an unusual fusion of raw wealth and tenderness.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGJdB2RF6A
Lord Preen: I have heard tales that High-Exarch Onyx’s care for her people is rivalled only by her love for sparkly things.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbVAKt8iX1
Ambassador Vanity: Lastly, we have Chalcrystis, a realm of pure enchantment and opulence. High-Exarch Cha is a model leader of our society, managing the splendid confluence of artistry and wealth with unparalleled skill. His rule, marked by prosperity and festivity, has made this region a true spectacle. Here, the vibrancy of music and entertainment harmoniously dances with a flair for indulgence, all masterminded by the astute and spirited High-Exarch Cha.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPYO8vDLF
Lord Preen: Oh, High-Exarch Cha, where art thou? Counting thy wealth, no doubt.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbce1lVDIGg
Adapetus Æther: Ambassador, may I ask who leads the magnificent Narcissian Navy?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KdcuxmtKV
(Stage directions: Dimming of lights? Sound effects of engines and the ominous hum of advanced machinery. The characters look up in amazement)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0AGA1B8Ky
Adapetus Æther: What is tha-
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ5mTGpNS1
Ambassador Vanity: The pride of the Narcissian Navy, The ND Narcissus. Flagship of our fleet, sovereign of the skies, and the only Dreadnought in existence.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84shkuzlu3
Lord Preen: The rumours were true?
Ambassador Vanity: Indeed, they were, it is under the command of Aeroadmiral Noble.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57rODfVm77
Ambassador Vanity: Come! The Earl of Narciss awaits!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDlzEaeXNV
(The characters exit the stage on the opposite side they entered)
