Mac-Muffin and the Three Moths (Part 1): A Prophecy of Dust 🦋🦋🦋⚔️🏰✨

[Scene: The Porch-Lamp at Night. 💡🌌 Enter THREE MOTHS, fluttering in a chaotic, rhythmic dance around the glass.]

MOTH 1:
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain? ⛈️

MOTH 2:
When the zoomie’s done and won,
When the cat has missed his fun! 🏎️💨🚫

MOTH 3:
There to meet with Mac-Muffin! 🦁🛡️🐾

[Enter MUFFIN, stationed on his **Clear View Bubble Pod**, his whiskers vibrating with a prophetic intensity. 📡✨🎭]

MUFFIN:
So foul and fair a night I have not seen. 🏙️🌌
What are these, so withered and so wild in their attire,
That look not like the inhabitants of the earth,
And yet are on it? 🦋🕵️‍♂️✨

MOTH 1:
All hail, Muffin! Hail to thee, Thane of the Tower! 🏰👑

MOTH 2:
All hail, Muffin! Hail to thee, Thane of the Living Room! 🏙️👑

MOTH 3:
All hail, Muffin! Thou shalt be king hereafter! 🥇🦁✨🐾

MUFFIN:
[Aside] 🗣️👂
If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me,
Without my stir! 🥞✨💤
But these winged spirits speak of a capture,
of a dusty victory upon the glass!

[Enter TOBY, breathless, from the kitchen. 🍼💨]

TOBY:
I say, Boss! The screaming mechanical beast—the vacuum—is being moved! The Staff is cleaning for the arrival of the guests! 👷‍♂️🌪️🙀

MUFFIN:
The Prince of Cumberland! 🚧😾
That is a step on which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,
for in my way it lies. 📈🚀
*"Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep zoomies!"* 🌑🌌💨

[The three moths land on the center of the bubble pod. 🦋🦋🦋🎯 MUFFIN coils his body, his eyes reflecting the prophetic dust of their wings. 🧿🧿🧪]

MUFFIN:
Is this a moth-wing which I see before me,
The dust toward my paw? Come, let me clutch thee!
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still! 🪟🚫🦋

I launch! I pounce! I claim the future! 🚀⚡

[MUFFIN leaps, but as he hits the glass, the bubble pod gives a terrifying groan. 🏚️🔊📉🛸]

TOBY:
BOSS! THE POD! IT’S ROTATING! 📐🌪️🙀
