76: Witching Hour Eats - March 15, 2024 (F)

Panel 1

[The Asterism sleepily enters the kitchen in the Black Manor where Pilcrow is already present. They are in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a three-eyed flamingo and crow. She is wearing a light green nightgown and looks sleepy. He is wearing a light blue dress-up shirt and mustard-colored slacks, and is holding a strange dish of purple tentacles with an eye and a beak. There is a clock on the counter that reads "13:00".]

The Asterism: "Yawn! Why does the clock boast a thirteenth hour, and why are you lurking about, Pilcrow?"

Panel 2

Pilcrow: "Witching hour snacks! They have a taste of the forbidden and bizarre. Far more intriguing than the boring midnight fare."

Panel 3

The Asterism: "The forbidden? Do elaborate. I'm guessing we're not talking leftover pizza."

Panel 4

[The scene changes to an alien landscape of fearsome black pyramids under a yellow sky, with the leftovers floating in front of it.]

Pilcrow: "Dishes that whisper old tales. Like these curious leftovers from the tattered realm of Yhtill.' It has a major a kick in its aftertaste."
