75: Unseen Pursuit - March 13, 2024 (W)

Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are standing in a hallway of the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a tan suit over an orange turtleneck. The Asterism is wearing an oversized sweater and leggings.]

The Asterism: "Remember, as we search for the enigmatic P’thlok, we must weave a web of watchfulness without witness, where the unseen becomes seen in the silence of our scrutiny."

Panel 2

Pilcrow: "So it vanishes if you look directly? Sounds like my motivation on Mondays. We'll need blindfolds and backwards walking lessons."

Panel 3

[The two are later blindfolded as they walk backwards through the halls. Pilcrow runs into a wall with a "THUMP!"]

Pilcrow: "Ow! Is it here or am I just bad at this?"

Panel 4

The Asterism: "We've either discovered P’thlok or the reason why I don't do trust falls."
