37: Radio (Un)silence - November 11, 2023 (M)
Panel 1
[The Asterism is existing as three pink stars that are also eyes in the void of space.]
The Asterism: "Welcome, esteemed listeners, to 'Eldritch Enigmas with The Asterism.' Today, we delve into the ancient lore of Zalthoraxian runes. These arcane symbols, lost to time, were once the language of the great sorcerer Y'ghalor, a master of the unseen realms."
Panel 2
[The view switches to a study in the Black Manor. The Asterism is in her bird-headed humanoid form of a three-eyed flamingo. She's wearing headphones and speaking into a boom microphone.]
The Asterism: "Each rune represents a fragment of Y'ghalor's knowledge, a key to unlocking the mysteries of the Nether Voids. Legend speaks of his most coveted secret, the Lexicon of Tumescor, a tome of unimaginable power that could bend reality itself."
Panel 3
[Nearby, Pilcrow, trying to focus on a crossword puzzle, starts to look slightly agitated. He is in his bird-headed humanoid form of a crow in a red plaid shirt and jeans.]
The Asterism: "Imagine, dear listeners, if we could decipher even a single page of the Lexicon! The cosmic pathways it could open, the dimensions we could explore! The runes themselves are said to be hidden across the stars, each one guarded by ethereal guardians."
Pilcrow: "Can you pipe it down?! I can't think straight enough to solve five across."
Panel 4
[The Asterism stretches her neck and loops it around in a circle by the microphone.]
The Asterism: "Next week, we'll attempt a live reading from the recreated fragments of Y'ghalor's scrolls, right here in the manor! Who knows what doors we might open, what secrets we might unveil!"
Pilcrow (standing up in frustration): "Ugh! The only door I'm interested in right now is the one to a quiet room. Any secrets on where to find that?"
