Scroll drawing on paper.  Six gray figures create an archway with their arms and hands woven together.  To the left their bodies are covered in eyes and they are wearing team jerseys with gray zeros.  To the right their bodies are covered in stars and they are wearing silver stripper thong sets. Their long high ponytails cascade down their bodies in silver and gold. Their bodies open up to a landscape of a sky on fire above a mountain pouring out rivers.  The rivers go into the land and funnel to a single nighttime mountain that channels the river into the mirroring underworld beneath their feet.  Below where they stand, a rainbow tunnel borders the underworld like the rim of a cup. Incandescent blue ghosts fly above and around them.
