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)
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCUdMeHJUk
(Lord Preen, the protagonist, the Adapetus Æther, and ambassador vanity all enter the scene)
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjDGQdfm3h
Ambassador Vanity: Welcome to Worcestershire, my dear guests. The empty streets, a sign of respect to our grand arrival.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkzjXE3x7m
Protagonist: (In awe) Such a splendid sight! The grandeur of these buildings is unlike anything I’ve ever beheld.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIfoGj71G5
Adapetus Æther: The architecture here is indeed of unparalleled magnificence.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92pIiKFR7x
Ambassador Vanity: Narciss, you see, is unrivalled in innovation and progress. Our regions, each more remarkable than the last, play a vital role.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SfCEZGMdZ
Protagonist: And, Ambassador Vanity, could you share with us the specifics of how these regions contribute to this progress?
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUofIL5X9V
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)
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHdXx72ixn
Lord Preen: (Dry) Bureaucracy: Worcestershire’s main export and Exarch Worce’s favourite pastime.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmJ69nrjM7
(The protagonist tries to stifle her laughter at this)
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS5chW25X4
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv8NoGaC8s
Lord Preen: In Luxequinox, they’ve likely invented an ætheric device that can detect ethical dilemmas and promptly ignore them.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkr80SpAEB
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonSInZylsz
Lord Preen: (wryly) Valerium – the land where they grow crops so meticulously that they probably count every grain of wheat individually!
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpp5fQCd8j
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelR9S1XGyy
Lord Preen: I have heard tales that High-Exarch Onyx’s care for her people is rivalled only by her love for sparkly things.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9VAhi3I2E
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eRrTUkmkl
Lord Preen: Oh, High-Exarch Cha, where art thou? Counting thy wealth, no doubt.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb38Yrd57cc
Adapetus Æther: Ambassador, may I ask who leads the magnificent Narcissian Navy?
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UVUhCCoT0
(Stage directions: Dimming of lights? Sound effects of engines and the ominous hum of advanced machinery. The characters look up in amazement)
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgdo49uxbV
Adapetus Æther: What is tha-
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYluzweG8iu
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxJzyYHBlY
Lord Preen: The rumours were true?
Ambassador Vanity: Indeed, they were, it is under the command of Aeroadmiral Noble.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBVWXStp0p
Ambassador Vanity: Come! The Earl of Narciss awaits!
