5: Tea Time - September 27, 2023 (W)
Panel 1:
[The Pilcrow again ponders, this time in the form of a massive fan of black feathers with many eyes floating in space.]
Pilcrow: "Asterism, have you ever pondered the peculiarity of 'waiting'?"
Panel 2:
[The Asterism is a collection of three pink stars emitting brilliant light with purple eyes.]
The Asterism: "Waiting? A dance of anticipation tied to the linear progression of moments. A strange, mortal concept."
Panel 3:
[Scene transitions to their nearly-human, bird-headed, forms in the black manor. Pilcrow holds a steaming cup of tea, looking at it in contemplation.]
Pilcrow: "Behold this very incarnation of mortal suffering: they desire tea, yet must wait or scald themselves. And should one wait too long, a cold abyss instead greets them."
[Pilcrow takes a sip, and seems satisfied.]
Panel 4:
The Asterism: "Well?"
Pilcrow: "Hmm. Adequate."
