I am so stressed about today being January 6th, that I haven't been able to finish Act I. But final edits ARE on Scene 3, so we're close.

At the end of Scene 2, you get Maxx waxing frustrated at U.S. politics from the POV of a FFXIV original character.

So please enjoy while I finish the rest! đź’™

THE LINE

I will this night
In several posts upon his pad alight,
As if they came from several citizens,
Writings, all tending to the great opinion
Allag holds of his name, wherein obscurely
Kæsar’s ambition shall be glancèd at
And after this, let Kæsar seat him sure,
For we will shake him, or worse days endure.

THE FOOTNOTE

This is all a very pretty way of saying, “I’mma do a social media misinformation campaign!” And I think we all have a lot to be grateful for that social media’s only just starting to be a thing for us. Pray for your players, though; they’ve gotten so good at misinformation, some of them elected a Spongebob Squarepants-shaped Roegadyn who dyes his marmot-fur toupee every Loporrit’s favorite color to be their head of state.

Humans are a problem in every multiverse, I swear.

A vibrant outdoor garden scene in Eorzea centered on Maxx, a male Miqo'te with spiked red-and-black hair and blue eyes. He is captured in a playful, irreverent pose: his head is cocked sharply to the right with a faint, knowing smirk, projecting a sense of unbothered mischief. He wears a red mesh top over a black harness and a short black skirt, with intricate floral tattoos spanning his arms and a stylized mark on his cheek. His arms are held slightly away from his body with open palms in a shrug-like gesture that emphasizes his nonchalant attitude. In the lower right foreground, his husband Gladjen—a female-presenting Viera—is only partially visible, her red and white coat serving as a close-cropped anchor to Maxx’s whimsical defiance. The background features lush greenery, mushroom stools, and tea tables, further softening the scene to center on Maxx’s playful personality.
