Panel 1

[Pilcrow is in a dark hallway in the Black Manor in his bird-headed humanoid form of a crow. He is wearing a red flannel shirt and jeans, and staring at an open door that is glowing reddish-pink.]

Pilcrow: "Time to finally fix the wiring. It can't be that hard, right?"

Pilcrow: "I think it's in here."

Panel 2

[He enters the door to discover a vast dark plain covered with mystic glowing lines of pink light, they lead off to strange eldritch structures.]

Pilcrow: "Oh. Huh. That could be a problem."

Panel 3

[Pilcrow walks into one of the Black Manor's living rooms, where the Asterism is watching TV in her bird-headed humanoid form of a three-eyed flamingo. She is wearing an orange wrap-around dress.]

Pilcrow: "Asterism, this house isn’t just old; it's powered by ancient ley lines of the cosmos!"

Panel 4

The Asterism: "How curious! Well, don't short-circuit the universe. I'd hate to reset existence because you mixed up the wires."

Pilcrow: "Maybe I should just call a handyman."
