39: Frozen in Time - December 15, 2023 (F)
Panel 1
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. He's wearing a light blue button-up shirt over mustard-colored pants, and she's wearing an off-white oversized sweater over jeans. They're standing in the kitchen of the Black Manor with a microwave. A burrito is cooking inside it.]
The Asterism: "Pilcrow, forsaking your culinary craft for the microwave's mundane magic?"
Pilcrow: "Even a gourmet needs a quick fix. Enter, the humble frozen burrito."
Panel 2
Pilcrow: "This so-called 'quick fix' is ironically testing my patience."
Panel 3
[Pilcrow peers closer inside.]
Pilcrow: "Surely, the cosmic clock hasn’t halted over a burrito..."
Panel 4
Narrator: "Countless Eons Later..."
[Pilcrow is an ophanim-like ball of feathers, eyes and beaks surrounded by halos of light. The Asterism's neck stretches to infinity with no sign of her body, and her eyes float around her head. The microwave is also floating in space and still running.]
Pilcrow: "Annnnny minute now..."
The Asterism: "Seems we've discovered a culinary black hole, where time and burritos are equally frozen."
