PANEL ONE: We see Anine, goddess of death, surrounded by skulls and magical emanations. ANINE: Behold! It is I, Anine, Goddess of Death! PANEL TWO: Wider view; we see that Anine is in front of Nizini. NIZINI: Or, alternatively, you could just open a conversation by saying "Hello". ANINE: Where's the fun in that? PANEL THREE: Anine sits down on the bench next to Nizini. ANINE: Look, Nizini. Can we talk, goddess to goddess? NIZINI: I... don't see why not. PANEL FOUR: Close on Anine, with Nizini in the foreground. ANINE: Okay, so, look. Being the goddess of death has its perks. I strike fear into the hearts of mortals, and I get to decorate the underworld however I want. NIZINI: I thought the purple cat motif was an... interesting choice. PANEL FIVE: Close on Anine. ANINE: But, you know, it has some RESPONSIBILITIES, too. Like, all the dead have to be judged and sent to the right afterlife. And that's never been my favorite part of the job, and frankly I don't think it's the part I'm best at. PANEL SIX: Closer on Anine; we see transparent images in the foreground of Yagatai, Goddess of Prophecy, and the monster she predicted. ANINE: And now Yagatai, the Goddess of Prophecy, has been foretelling that within the next mortal generation some terrible monster is going to usurp the gods and cast the world into ruin. And I don't know EXACTLY what that's going to entail, but I do know it's likely to mean, well, A LOT MORE DEATH. And more judgment. And I'm having a hard time keeping up as it is. PANEL SEVEN: Close on Nizini, Anine in the foreground. ANINE: So I was thinking, maybe I could use some help. And who better to judge the dead than the goddess of sincerity? At least I can guarantee you're going to be genuine about it. PANEL EIGHT: Front angle on Anine and Nizini. ANINE: I know you already come down to the underworld from time to time anyway. NIZINI: Sometimes when a good person doubts they made a difference in life, I come down to explain sincerely what impact they had. But that's... a lot different from... sitting in judgment. PANEL NINE: View of Anine and Nizini from above. ANINE: Sure, but I... think you could do it. And I could really use the help. What do you say? I'll think about it. PANEL TEN: Close on Anine. ANINE: Are you REALLY going to think about it, or are you just saying that? PANEL ELEVEN: Close on Nizini. NIZINI: I'm the goddess of sincerity. I don't just say things. PANEL TWELVE: Anine stands and raises her arms. ANINE: I do! Flibbertigibbet! Quagmire! Hoist the boots by their belfry! NIZINI: You're... not really making your offer more attractive.
