33.05 Snorus Interruptus
“Snorus Interruptus” Have you every shook someone out of slumber? Did you ever consider how it might look to an outside observer? No matter how gentle you are, I’m sure it can look quite violent. Puccini’s hand is relatively large in this interaction and, although placed on Pōk’s shoulder, it could be seen as a wizard throttling some poor gnome.
Just a reminder, only those who have quaffed from the comprehension potion or have a similar spell cast upon them can understand Pōk and the rest of the gobos. Anyone else would just hear words in the goblin tongue. I wonder if the lamplighter understands the gobospeak…
Be careful out there.
↓ Transcript
Panel 1
In a tight shot, Pōk - still disguised magically as a gnome - is leaning against the arch entrance of a stone wall and is slowly being woken up by Puccini's right hand. The motion had gone from gentle to firm, to draw the gobo out of such a deep slumber...
Puccini, muttering: "Such a deep sleep!"
Pōk, interrupting, shaky from slumber: "<Stop.>"
Panel 2
...which Puccini stops suddenly. The view over his shoulder, arm still extended to Pōk (offscreen), shows him looking at an elven lamplighter who has stopped in her travels and is staring at the two from the middle of the road.
Pōk: "<I'm... gonna vomit.>"
Panel 3
From her point of view, Pōk and Puccini stare back awkwardly, the tips of the gobo's pointer fingers tapping each other while Puccini slowly lifts his hand off of Pōk's shoulder.
Panel 4
Puccini quickly sports a wide grin and places his outstretched hand on his knee and the other on his waist. Pōk, seeing this, takes a wide step towards the entrance to increase their personal spaces and adopts a similarly big smile, keeping an eye on the wizard as if to work with this new social approach.
Puccini: "Yes! Exactly what that goblin said. When I cast that tremor spell."
Puccini, volume lowering to a mutter: "Heh heh. Heh."
