Chapter 64 - In gestation

well i prepared much trurn over, and project for that story, but encoutnered some problmetics about the future stockholm stock exchange during the story ( where the sith company own 20% of the shares of differents companies, such as the textiles company of sweden, karl's harbors shipyards, the baltic trade company etc ... ) after the french dutch war and annexation of norway by sweden before the team goes back to santa catarina in brazil, but i don't own enough to have the luxury of such a story .... 

so that's all jokes:

Here are the translations of your two versions into English, keeping the same satirical tone and theatrical style:

Theater Scene: "The New York Social Status Stock Exchange"

(Inside the NYSSSE, digital panels flashing "Social Status" in green, red, and blue. White-angel figures in suits and ties, stylized wings, phones in hand.)

ANGEL 1:

— Look, the "Modest Visionary" just lost 5 points — too humble, not enough punchlines...

ANGEL 2:

— The "Contested Loyalist" is bouncing back, fresh rumor of betrayal on X...

ANGEL 3:

— I sold all my "Change Ambassadors", you know, there's a crash on "Strategic Sincerity"...

ANGEL 2 (thoughtful):

— Maybe diversify into "Misunderstood Martyr"…

ANGEL 1 (gravely):

— Watch out! The Totem Council is planning a split-fusion between "Untouchable Icon" and "Constructive Countercurrent": it's now or never to buy!

VOICE OVER LOUDSPEAKER:

"The status 'Charismatic Pariah' has been suspended due to excessive narrative volatility. Thank you for your attention."

ANGEL 3 (aside):

— One day, I'll buy some "Meaning". But the index is nowhere to be found on this exchange...

Anachronistic Satire: Express Chronicle

Today at the New York Social Status Stock Exchange, volatility was at a peak:

the "Natural Leader" status plunged after a controversy over sock colors, while "Old World Pillar" collapsed, caught by a Babylon-era tweet.

At noon, the "Social Middle Ground" index soared — only to crash sharply when everyone suddenly took sides for or against the rain.

At the microphone, the floor president announced:

— "We remind you that happiness, raison d'être, and true meaning are currently not listed here. Please remain within your enclosures."

At closing time, the mosquito-angels left, some "up" a point, others "down" two, all convinced they played a crucial role in the "endless screw" of values.

If you want, the theatrical scene can be expanded into a fuller play with more characters and comic situations, or the satire can be developed into a longer faux-reportage with mock interviews and financial warnings. Would you like to explore either option?
