Congress grounds. LYON PRINCE, OTTER KING, BEAR CZAR, CAT QUEEN, HOG EMPEROR, WOLF PRESIDENT, PLATYPUS COUNt, ATTENDANT.
ATTENDANT :
Well then. I officially announce the end of this congress. The decisions taken are : execution of revolutionary leaders, overworking with propaganda, tax terror, Soaplands, totalitarian rule, and big factories.
If I'm fair, none of you are seeing neither the forest nor the trees, but instead how you could chop them up for your own good.
BEAR CZAR :
Attendant, I don't recall you being asked for your opinion.
ATTENDANT :
I excuse myself.
CAT QUEEN :
I'm not sure such an affront can ever be excused. Are you calling me greedy and misguided ?
ATTENDANT :
Ah, I-
WOLF PRESIDENT :
Queen, are you implying greed is a default ? I would posit that greed is a virtue, as it allows you to make good ruling of your money.
HOG EMPEROR :
I agree, greed is a virtue, maybe better than gluttony, but certainly not better than wrath.
LYON PRINCE leaves.
PLATYPUS COUNT :
Already we have lost one. I envy this care-less-ness.
OTTER KING :
Oh, I should hurry to find hi-
BEAR CZAR :
Otter King, you shall go nowhere. We have much to discuss you and me, and I fear none of it will be to your liking.
OTTER KING :
I cannot wait.
ATTENDANT :
I will ask you to discuss this somewhere else. The congress is over, and the grounds are to be deserted.
All but ATTENDANT leave.
ATTENDANT :
Good graces, another congress passes, and still they refuse to alleviate the suffering of their people, only wanting to silence the screaming mouth.
ATTENDANT leaves.
