35: Unquiet House - December 6, 2023 (W)
Panel 1
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in their purely bird forms, wings spread as they chant at the foot of a black pyramid in an alien landscape. It is below an eclipsing red giant sun, with a great eye on its front.]
Both (Chanting): "In pursuit of the comprehension of the void, we ascend through the Ur-Forest of Ghoth-Nar to seek the wisdom of Thar'qulus, the Abyssal Wat-"
[Creeeak! A sound interrupts them.]
Panel 2
[The scene switches. They're now in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a short-sleeved light blue shirt and mustard-color pants. The Asterism is wearing an oversized off-white sweater and jeans. They are standing in the attic of the Black Manor.]
Pilcrow (annoyed): "How can one meditate on transcendence with the creaking bones of this manor constantly interrupting?!"
[Effect: Groooan!]
Panel 3
The Asterism: "Consider, my comrade, that this is the mansion's way of conversing with the cosmos."
[Effect: Thud!]
Panel 4
Pilcrow (still irritated): "I'd prefer a conversation that doesn’t involve potential structural collapse."
The Asterism: "Ah, but chaos has its charm."
