7: Eldritch Etiquette - October 2, 2023 (M)
Panel 1:
[Pilcrow is a bunch of crow's feathers with blue eyes floating freely in space.]
Pilcrow: "In the labyrinthine void, where chaos kisses order, one ponders: what, indeed, is the proper way to greet the ever-consumptive Black Abyss?"
Panel 2:
[The Asterism is three pink stars with black pupils in a pink stretch of outer space.]
The Asterism: "Oh Pilcrow, always a stickler for propriety! I simply twinkle at it. Much like I do with the lesser voids."
Panel 3:
[They now stand in the Black Manor, in a study with a view of planets above. Pilcrow, an anthropomorphic crow in a mustard-colored suit with a red tie, stares out the window into space.]
Pilcrow: "But how does one 'twinkle' at a void? Do you blink? Wink? Grin? Gesture?"
Panel 4:
[The Asterism appears in the view, an anthropomorphic flamingo with three eyes in a gray dress.]
The Asterism: "Why, it's an art, dear Pilcrow. Not everything has a manual... especially not in the realms of the eldritch."
Pilcrow (baffled): "I suppose I'll just nod next time."
