33.04 Where’s Everyone?
“Where’s Everyone?” While the short visit was productive, it looks like another problem has presented itself. Now you may know of Pōk’s penchant for sporadic napping, but this is Puccini’s first exposure.
Be careful out there.
↓ Transcript
Panel 1
Puccini steps away from the archway - Pōk's hat is just visible as the gobo leans against it - and walks along the wall runs along the street. The wizard brushes off some dust from his cloak before turning his attention to where he left the rest of his companions...
Puccini, whispering: "Well, I got what I could. Let's move on before..."
Panel 2
...only to find them absent as the shot pulls out to reveal the Academy tower behind the wall. Unlike the rest, Pōk hasn't left the spot and is still magically disguised as a gnome with illusory magic. But most of the disguise is concealed by Puccini's cloak as he tosses up his arms in frustration.
Puccini: "Come on!"
Puccini, sarcastically: "Wandering off is the best way to stay out of trouble!"
Panel 3
The view flips into a close-up of Puccini, turning to direct a question at Pōk (offscreen), a shop's windows across the way and a lantern-topped pole adding light to a darkening street as the day comes to a close.
Puccini: "Pōk? Where are they?"
Panel 4
Flipping once more, the shot is now zoomed in on Pōk, who hasn't moved because the disguised gobo has been sleeping this entire time. As if to confirm to any passerby, a long snore signals that Pōk is deeply slumbering.
Puccini, muttering: "Deep breaths, Puccini. Deep breaths..."
