Let me pet the snake, you coward!
No! Stanley, would you stop laughing and help me!?
...you should let Polly pet the snake.
Oh, not you too!
Polly (the player ghost) can't interact much since only their hands are actually solid, but my lord, they *will* pet any snake they find.
This took Way too long! I don't usually do comics, so forgive the lack of colors, but this was super fun! Thank you, @blackkatdraws @braisedhoney and @beartitled for the inspiration and amazing art!
Here's a written description of the comic, inclusion the text:
Polly and Stanley are watching something on a tv that is poorly balances on a turned filing cabinet. The Narrator (Neil) see's them, and wonders what going on and what could have Polly so excited, thinking to himself I wonder what those two are doing
The two of them are watching a fight between A giant yellow snake/centipede (an arrow, apparently???) and another Narrator it seems, as Polly explains to Stanley who they are and what's going on.
Neil goes to sit down, quite intrigued, then freezes. Wait a minute, he thinks. He turns to the ghostly player who slowly turns to him in return. Their grin widens as he observes them, Idiotic smile, no thoughts, just vibes, and (most importantly) They are wayyy tooo excited about this. He slowly turns towards them. "Player, no." He says firmly, addressing them in a formal way as he always does. Their grin only gets bigger. "Polly, Yes!"
Flash to a few minutes later with The Narrator having to hold Polly back from going to pet the giant snake that could maybe eat them whole. Polly is determined to do this as the Narrator struggles to hold a literal ghost back, mumbling about when did they get so strong? Polly just wants to pet the giant new friend. Stanley stays near the tv, laughing at the two of them in the company of this bucket.

(who's gonna save you, hero?)
i love whump fics where tim ends up on the ropes alone and doesn't know if anyone's gonna reach him in time
i really really love leonardo romero's inks and jordie bellaire's colors from the "i am the gun" mini telling the zur-en arrh backstory (in batman issues #128-130), so this is another loose style study
i had this frame in mind specifically, altho i couldnt quite commit to the hard inks
ALSO the concept was loosely based off the issues in legacy ('tec (1940) #698-99) where tim goes undercover and then gets nabbed by lockup and his comm cuts off in the middle of telling nightwing what's going on, which also gave us this great (but misleading) cover
