2: Spilt Tea - September 20, 2023 (W)

Panel 1:

[Pilcrow muses while in the form of an endless mass of feathers with eyes.]

Pilcrow: "Asterism, have you ever pondered why the multiverse quivers when contemplating the 13th perspective of a hexadecachoron?"

Panel 2:

[The Asterism appears as a glowing pink sphere with three large white suns as eyes over a haunted woods.]

The Asterism: "Ah, Pilcrow, the hexadecachoron is but an infant's riddle in the grand theater of existence. But the 13th perspective, ah! That's where reality fractures, spilling for the whispers of forgotten pharaohs."

Panel 3:

Pilcrow: "Such whispers, laden with the weight of obscura, beckon to the precipice of understanding. And yet, when I grasp... it eludes, like shadows fleeing dawn."

Panel 4:

[The two now appear in their "normal" forms as an anthropomorphic flamingo with three eyes for the Asterism, and an anthropomorphic crow for Pilcrow. They are standing in a Victorian parlor, staring in disappointment at some spilled tea.]

The Asterism: "Oops! Perhaps, deal Pilcrow, we should stick to comprehending the intricacies of brewing tea without spilling it."

Pilcrow: "Indeed."
