51: Silent Night - January 12, 2024 (F)

Panel 1

[Pilcrow is in his bird-headed humanoid form of a crow, wearing a mustard-colored suit and a red tie, sitting in a chair in the library. He's holding a handheld device of some sort.]

Pilcrow: "Time to enjoy some peace and quiet for reading, courtesy of my own ingenuity."

Pilcrow: "Silencio!"

[He clicks the device.]

Panel 2

[Pilcrow starts reading a book. The Asterism walks in, in her bird-headed humanoid form of a three-eyed flamingo. She is wearing a white button-up shirt and dark jeans, and tries to speak to Pilcrow. But her speech bubbles are empty.]

Panel 3

[She tries to talk again, getting visibly angry. But no sound emerges. Pilcrow appears to be unaware of her.]

Panel 4

[She extends her own head into a speech balloon, which as an eldritch creature apparently she can influence better, because through it she shouts.]

The Asterism: "PILCROW!"

[Pilcrow jumps in alarm.]
