A three-page comic about background characters in the game Final Fantasy 14 recognizing plot severity patterns in the amount of protagonists present in the area. Page one, panel one: Bloezoeng, an apron-clad man belonging to a fantasy race of giantlike people, cleans a glass with a rag while saying: "Afternoon, miss." An unnamed chef, a young human male, leans against the inner side of a counter, saying: "Hi Tataru!" Another man wearing armor, Hugubert, turns while walking, saying: "Hey Tataru." A human woman named Alys can be seen carrying a plate of glasses behind the counter. In the foreground, Tataru, who belongs to a gnomelike race, says: "Hi guys!" Panel two: Bloezoeng leans against the outer side of the counter with wide eyes and crossed arms. The chef reaches across the counter for Bloezoeng's cleaned glass, also wide-eyed, saying: "Oh! Hello!" Alys is peeking over his shoulder, visibly surprised, as is Hugubert, who now leans against the counter. In the foreground, a man with feline features, G'raha, says: "Afternoon!" To his side, a woman belonging to the same race as Tataru, Krile, says: "Hello!"ALT
Page two, panel one: As the chef moves off with the dish plate, Alys stands straighter, looking confused as more people walk by. In the foreground, Thancred, a man wearing an armored jacket, says: "Afternoon, you lot." Y'shtola, a woman with feline features and a staff, says: "Afternoon." Urianger, a tall elven man only visible at the shoulder, says: "Greetings." Panel two: The majority of the shot is taken up by various characters in the foreground, being Alisaie, a young elven woman that looks concerned, Abaddon, a player character that towers out of view, Lucina, a player character belonging to a draconic race, and Alphinaud, Alisaie's twin brother. Various speech bubbles indicate a conversation happening between Alisaie and Abaddon, though the words are unclear.ALT
Page three, panel one: Bloezoeng, Alys, and Hugubert are where they were last seen, each looking various kinds of concerned. The unnamed chef can be seen having come to a halt while carrying the dish plate, visibly stunned. Panel two: Bloezoeng looks over his shoulder to grin at Alys, saying: "Booze, anyone?" Alys leans down to reach under the counter, a plain expression of acceptance on her face, saying: "Think I could go for some, yes." Hugubert adjusts his posture to look at them over his shoulder worriedly. The chef slouches down to reach under the counter as well after setting the plate on it, eyes closed and lips pulled tight, thinking: "Oh my gods. Oh my gods man. Dammit. I knew things were going too well. Shit...why me..." His thoughts continue, but the text is mostly hidden behind his body.ALT
