ESPERANTO: "Valdez, how do you know this... Woman?"

PANEL 5: Enter flashback. A person wearing an apron and a snapping turtle skull mask is standing in a greenhouse. Heart-shaped leaves sprout from the tilled soil. On the far wall, a simple mural of clouds and a smiling sun has been painted. On the ceiling, large stovetop heating elements are illuminating the room.

PANEL 1: Phil looking at the man with the whole in his head.

PHIL: "Did you say people grow out of the ground?"

MAN: "Yes, that tends to surprise descended people for some reason."

PANEL 2: The blank woman crosses her arms. The hole-y man looks at her, presumably in disappointment.

WOMAN: "Ever since the Sun fell asleep, they all just come out with something wrong with them, like they're cursed or--"

MAN: "Hey, that's anti-ascensionist!"

PANEL 3: View through the man's head-hole, showing Phil.

MAN: "I happen to be ascended myself, and there is nothing wrong with my body!"

PANEL 4: The hole-y man with his hands behinds his back puffs his chest out smugly as the blank woman raises her hands in acquiescence.

MAN: "In fact, most modern nursery gardens take special precautions to--"

WOMAN: "Sorry, sorry."

PANEL 5: Phil points at the two strange people.

PHIL: "Um... Sorry if I'm being rude, but... Is that hole in your head from you being... Uh... Ascended?"

PANEL 6: The man and the woman laugh uproariously.

In honor of the release of Once Upon a Katamari, Valdez and Esperanto's Halloween costumes this year are the King and Queen of All Cosmos! Esperanto doesn't know what this shit is, but Valdez convinced him to wear it. #art #drawing

Illustration of Valdez dressed as the King of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy and Esperanto, who is significantly more miserable-looking, dressed as the Queen of All Cosmos.
