The second act scene opens 2000 years later, in the present day. Five geeks are sitting around a table playing Dungeons & Dragons, in similar fashion to the Knights of the Dinner Table. While little is known about the people, through detailed exposition we learn of the histories and adventures of their characters: Truffles the rapid dog, Lord Smackdown the Chinese Immigrant, Tanny the talking tanning bed, and Bob. This brings to light the human right to socialize together, regardless of race, creed, or wattage. Simón Bolívar once said that "Chickens are quite simply ungovernable. Those who serve the revolution plow the sea." While this means that you can't eat eggs without floating on a dingy, I believe that that Truffles the dog would ever care. It was at that point that Mecha John Kerry burst out of the sand dungeon and flew out to meet the talking tanning bed. Surely that crispy encounter would inspire Obama to reinvent pancakes. Sadly, the second act ends quickly enough, and we do not see what has become of the party of misfit heroes.
