A young Mercenary named Infinite The Jackal is set to spend his last night in Station Square with his Mercenary friends before they are deployed. Infinite and his friends plan to attend a cruel bar event called a "dogfight," which requires Merceries to bring unattractive dates who will be judged for their ugliness. Infinite encounters a cat named Big whom he brings to the dogfight

2. Prelude: Take Me Back

ACT ONE.

Lights reveal Big The Cat singing and playing his pipa. The "Prelude" exists in a time outside of time, a dreamy limbo where memories take human form.

Some kinds of time are real quick to leave you
Some kinds of time you can't dream away

Infinite The Jackal appears, damaged, broken. He shares this dream-like space.

Some kinds of time are set to deceive you

[BIG/INFINITE]
Some kinds of time repeat and replay

[BIG]
Oh, a smell
A sound
Can take you back

[BIG/INFINITE]
Oh, take me back

[BIG]
A smell, a sound
A memory you found
Can take you back

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, take me back

[BIG/INFINITE]
Take me back
