16: Unscheduled Percolation - October 23, 2023 (M)
Panel 1
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are sitting in a Victorian parlor room in the Black Manor, drinking some coffee. They are in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo, respectively, wearing button-up shirts and slacks. As they talk, the coffee begins to float out of Pilcrow's mug.]
Pilcrow: "Amidst the silent chorus of dawn, where illumination greets the obscure, behold the consecrated elixir that illuminates the mind. But what is this? What force draws it into the void above?!"
Panel 2
[The Asterism stares up, and it appears she is looking into the vastness of space where a great eye is formed from a red giant star.]
The Asterism: "The powerful pull permeating our plane appears to herald the heaving H'rrolothar, an ominous and oppressive entity."
Panel 3
[The coffee continues to float higher.]
Pilcrow: "There is no denying that in the vast sea of the cosmos, H'rollthar is a mighty storm. But leave my coffee alone!"
Panel 4
[The gravity returns to normal, spilling coffee all over Pilcrow.]
The Asterism: "Witness! H'rrolothar’s starlit sojourn hath swept him yonder, sparing our sanctum."
Pilcrow: "Unfortunately, this liberation of my coffee wasn't the outcome I had hoped for."
