![Three panel comic featuring bee people.
First Panel
A bee person in a dress, green apron, and red headscarf holds up two dolls: one resembling a tall bee and the other a man in a tophat with a curly mustache. Speech bubbles next to her read:
1: "Yes . . . this is a fertile land, and we will thrive here. We will call it . . . This Land."
2: "I think we should call it . . . Your Grave!"
Second Panel
The same bee person looks down at the dolls. She's holding the man a little higher while using two of her other hands (out of four) to push the bee doll's hands into its face.
1: "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
2: "Mine is an evil laugh! Bwahahaha!"
Third Panel
A pair of bee people, one in a red shirt and overalls and the other in a green shirt and overalls (both wearing red hardhats with lights attached to them), are conversing with each other. The one in the green shirt has a bucket of popcorn, from which he's plucking popcorn for snacking.
Offscreen, the bee in the green dress: "Here come the lesbian cowgirls to save the day!"
FX: [sounds of toys smacking together]
Red shirt: "Is she really our best hope?*"
Green shirt: "Let her cook.*"
Footnote: *In zizzun (pheromones and intense buzzing)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:je2d5pyfuy532sx4tzfncesh/bafkreigxmjvo2ygsc7ncqlviuumw5b7fcpfkfmfkow6qcowl5cngwt7mxa)

Ngl, it feels weird to let Jo inner monologue, which is prob part of the problem. She's more of an action character, but the exposition was needed for establishing stuff.
Honeysuckle, meanwhile, took *off* for 800 words.

Bonus: Pearl. It’s the gemstone i’ve associated to Aquatic society, it is more precious than gold as it is the only stone from water

#FaveLineFriday Actually *is* a line today! I'm proud of that analogy in the last bit, but the rest is here for context.
In short, this week in Beeslingers: When a flailing bee's kicked out of the Adventurers' Guild, Jo knows something ain't right.

I’m being forced to escalate the situation. If I ever see these missing 30 hours, I’m not getting them any time soon.
This is so embarrassing, but I’m not getting paid by the job I’m leaving this week and I need $165 in 3 days. The rest of the goal is to try and keep my account above $0 for the next couple weeks for other expenses.

Fun bee fact! There are honey bees whose job is to carry their dead sisters out of the hive. These are called undertaker bees. In addition to this vital sanitation work, they *also* perform bee autopsies in order to determine causes of death, thereby supplying info about potential outbreaks/dangers.
