“Commence Pilfering” We are once more at Puccini’s mystic laboratory and storeroom. We have two gobos with a magic bag. Nothing can go wrong.

Actually, the pilfering began a while ago (seen in a few following strips), and brought up again rather recently. (And while revisiting the scene, I noticed I made an error: I had removed the blue glow instead of the white one. That has now been fixed.)

Be careful out there.

Panel 1
From inside a room a door is slowly being opened by a gobo hand and through the opening, Tok can be seen, wearing a big grin.

Panel 2
A wide shot reveals a wizard's laboratory with a table at its center loaded with various vessels and alchemical apparati, a small lockbox and a tome with two ribbon bookmarks. Just past the work area is a large and rather odd looking furnace flanked by two doors, the right open to a dark room - the only light being three sparkles or glints of red, blue and yellow. Two doors can just be seen further down the wall on each side. Between the left doors, four containers each marked with one of the western symbols of the elements stand below a shelf of an armature and three vessels, the latter holding a lone tentacle. Between the right doors, a loaded bookcase fills the wall, containing a number of volumes and containers, including a glass cylinder containing a severed eye.

Panel 3
From inside the room, the door is fully open, and the hand upon it is revealed to belong to Tik, smiling mischievously. Tok can now be seen fully as well, and the gobo is holding a pouch.
