Panel 1:
We're on an island in The Wilds, an area of the Sea of Thieves. It's rocky and desolate, save for a patch of bright green vegetation. Two skeletons - one wearing a red headband - regard the foliage with interest.
Headband Skeleton: Huh. Is it me, or are these plants new?
Panel 2:
The Headband Skeleton kicks one of the plants with his foot. The Second Skeleton kneels down, holding the plant's fronds in his fingers.
Second Skeleton: Yeah, I don't remember seeing them in The Wilds befo--
Panel 3:
A palm tree erupts from the ground beneath the Second Skeleton, impaling his ribcage and sending his limbs scattering. More grasses and foliage spring up. The Headband Skeleton jumps back in surprise.
SFX: POW
Panel 4:
The palm tree has grown beyond the top of the panel. The Second Skeleton yells from off-panel while the Headband Skeleton calls up to him.
Second Skeleton: WHAT THE HELL KIND OF FERTILISER ARE THE DEVS USING?!
Headband Skeleton: Could you pass me down a coconut while you're up there?
I hope it's not bone meal.
