9: Mirrored Moods - October 6, 2023 (F)

Panel 1

[Pilcrow is in the guise of a crow in a yellow suit with a red tie. He's staring at his reflection in a mirror.]

Pilcrow: "Asterism, have you ever pondered the mortals' preoccupation with identity? Their constant search for the self in the vastness of existence?"

Panel 2

[The Asterism, a flamingo with three eyes in a gray dress, is in a nearby closet looking at outfits.]

The Asterism: "Indeed, Pilcrow. For creatures of such fleeting moments, their quest for understanding the self seems eternal. As if by knowing oneself, they might transcend their limitations."

Pilcrow

Pilcrow: "Their histories, philosophies, arts; all echo this yearning. A mosaic of memories and musings, each a fragment of the grand reflection."

Panel 4

[The Asterism exits the closet wearing four hats: a hunter's hat with flaps, a tophat, a ballcap with a peach made to look like a butt, and a big sun hat. She's also wearing sunglasses.]

The Asterism: "Do you think, in wearing these, I might momentarily mirror their myriad moods?"

Pilcrow: "Ack! I suspect some styles might be more... transcendent... than others."
