Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in a meditation room in the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a blue button-up shirt with rolled sleeves and yellow pants. The Asterism is wearing a workout outfit of leggings and a sports bra.]

Pilcrow: "Behold, the pinnacle of silence! Our new meditation room blocks all earthly noise."

Panel 2

The Asterism: "A space free from the world's noise? What bliss!"

Panel 3

[They close their eyes and start to meditate. However, a dark and ominous voice radiates into the room like a radio signal.]

Eldritch Radio Voice: "Welcome back to the Void's Echo, with tonight's tale from the cryptic depths of O'rath, the forgotten city."

Panel 4

[The two each open an eye, visibly annoyed.]

Pilcrow: "Turns out, 'absolute silence' includes a subscription to the eldritch broadcasting network. Who knew?"

The Asterism: "Maybe next time we aim for less 'ancient cursed cities' and more 'spa music.'"
