Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in the kitchen of the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a lavender suit. The Asterism is wearing a white button-up shirt and slacks. They're both holding potions that they are drinking.]

The Asterism: "This potion will make us speak in syllogisms; it's like a logic workout for your tongue."

Pilcrow: "Skal!"

Panel 2

[Pilcrow looks inebriated.]

Pilcrow: "All cats are mortal; Socrates is mortal; therefore, Socrates is a cat."

Pilcrow: "Wait... what?"

Panel 3

[The Asterism's eyes are floating and pointing different directions.]

The Asterism: "No no no. You see, if drinking this makes us logical, then sobriety is illogical."

The Asterism: "...That can't be right."

Panel 4

Pilcrow: "The logic is sound, but none of this sounds right. How about we stick to less confusing beverages?"

The Asterism: "Agreed, reality is confusing enough."
