1.)
(Karl is putting on his shirt while looking nervous, avoiding Jack's gaze. Jack is distracted by a phone call of his own.)
KARL: Haha, ah, yeah gotta water the cat-feed it! Haha, you know...
ALLISON: (from other end of phone call) Hey, we uh, got Tristan out...
JACK: (to Karl) What? Aw, so soon?
JACK: (to Allison) Sorry Allison, you- wait, you 'got him out?'
2.)
(Split panel, Jack on the phone, still shirtless from love-making, Allison on the phone, with Tristan in the background gripping his head.)
JACK: Like, as in... free? Oh man, that's... why don't you sound glad?
ALLISON: Well, uhhh... Sarah's not too happy about it and I forgot the whole psychic link thing...? Soo he's having a bad time.
3.)
(Tristan is even more vexed in a closer view, Allison beside him, now with blasé Thierry in the foreground.)
PSYCHIC ETHER AROUND TRISTAN'S HEAD: COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME
ALLISON: Any ideas? We took him to Rafflesia but I guess psycho-bitch powers still work here.
JACK: (from other end of phone call) Goddamn... I guess just wait until she gets tired of it? Did you ask Thierry? Oh- god, Demetri told me that guy talked to the clown! What the hell is that about?
4.)
(In Jack's place, his back to us, Karl in the foreground being neurotic like a Dan Clowes character.)

JACK: Uhh...
KARL: (under his breath) Clowns?!

KARL: What the hell- what the hell-
CHRIS: Wait- Random?!

(Chris has the cocked eyebrow of shade directed at our man Karl.)
CHRIS: What are you doing here? Paparazzi for that Belfries dude? Made room in your busy schedule of trolling innocent forums?
8.)
(A panel depicting the horror enthusiast forum where both Chris and Karl have accounts.)
CHRIS: (out of panel) We get enough spam as it is without you hawking your lame reviews! You totally derailed my last thread!
9.)
(Karl's hand says, "Talk to the hand." His face is testy.)
KARL: Oh come on, get a life, dude! Community building is part of the job! SO, like, whatever!
CHRIS: Then build your own community and get outta mine, Random!
