Act 1, appearance of Diva, a benevolent being, Time’s both guardian and vulture, carrying the trash of civilization 

Jane and John Doe and Time Traveler

Rambunctious neighbors: Malevolent, Nero-Caligula and Violet  

Legionwomen and Diva

Jane and John reunited in the abbreviated bliss.

We crafted the new gospel:
HARVEST. KULTUR. L.O.L.

The End
