Tales from the Mana Crypt #95 Top (Hat) Down Design Panel 1 Drawing of a storefront on Ravnica called “Ravnicaps”. In the window of the store, there is a mannequin with a wide-brimmed hat. Narration: Before leaving Ravnica, Kellan makes one final stop! Kellan (Off-screen): Thanks for coming with me Amalia, I felt so left out around the other detectives here. Panel 2 Kellan, a young half-fae man with medium length black hair is standing beside Amalia, a young vampire girl with glasses and curly black hair. They are inside “Ravnicaps” and in the foreground, a mannequin wearing a top-hat and a deerstalker cap are visible. Kellan smiles as he continues his dialog from the prior panel. Kellan: I don't want to be the only guy without the right hat on my next trip. Amalia adjusts her glasses, her expression incredulous. Amalia: I just can't believe that for every hat here, there's a plane of people wearing it. Kellan: Let's try some on! You can learn a lot about a plane from its hat! Panel 3 Amalia is wearing a Regency-era outfit with a fancy bonnet and dress. Her fingers are steepled together and she squints her eyes listening to what Kellan has to say. Amalia:...Did we need to do the whole outfit? Kellan (Off-screen): Of course! That bonnet is from Regencia. it's a plane of idle nobles, tangled in webs of romance! Amalia: Wow, need a lot of peasants to support that lifestyle. Kellan (Off-screen): Nope, constructs do all of the labor, so it's all good! Panel 4 Kellan grins while wearing a bucket hat, fishing vest, and brandishes a fishing pole, holding the lure in one hand. Kellan: This bucket hat is from the plane of Reelidin. Fishing is everything there! Amalia (Off-screen): Everything? Their ecology must be really complicated. Kellan: Nope, the fish just replenish with magic! Panel 5 Amalia wears a beatnik outfit, with a beret, and striped black-and-white shirt. She is holding what looks like a lit cigarette, smoke trailing around. She looks deeply confused. Amalia: Let me guess, is this beret from a plane that's really invested in disrupting societal norms Kellan (Off-screen): No, that's just a new Strixhaven trend. they all got really into slam poetry and abstract art recently......plus that magical, non-addictive burning stick! Amalia: Kellan, do you really need a new hat to fit in? These all seem like they're just for show. Panel 6 Kellan tips a Stetson cowboy hat, his eyes obscured but his smile visible. Kellan: You're right, but some folks really like a show. And I have a feeling my dad's one of them. Narration: Next stop: Thunder Junction!
