4 DAYS. THAT'S ALL. I'LL BE HOME IN 4 DAYS AND WILL NEVER HAVE TO SET FOOT BACK IN THIS MORONIC CITY IF I DON'T WANT TO. EXCEPT MAYBE FOR GRADUATION.
Ahem. Anyhoo, in the interest of having nothing else to say, I shall now post a transcript from a chat with
padparadscha last night that I found amusing. (Darth Obvious is her, bees is me.)
Darth Obvious says: How's the squid god business?
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: OH GOD I JUST FOUND EVIL IN A CLOSET.
Darth Obvious says: (8) Evil's in the closet (8)
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: See, most of L-craft's creations have never outright *scared* me. I mean, I'm sure if I met Great Cthulhu in person I would be gibberingly terrified, but to read about on paper he's just sort of... meh.
Darth Obvious says: Just sort of brooding and doomy.
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: Exactly! However, he has this one story called "Dreams in the Witch House" which features this... creature. The familiar of the titular witch. Its name was Brown Jenkin and it was this little rat-looking creature with a human face and hands. That thing creeped me out beyond all belief.
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: And I just found its skeleton in a closet.
Darth Obvious says: AWK!
Darth Obvious says: Did you put the evil back in the closet when you were done with it?
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: Of course I did! I always clean up after my evil.
Darth Obvious says: Very good. You can't just leave evil lying about.
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: I know. There's altogether too much of taht in this house. It's all in good fun until someone loses an eye.
Bees are freakin' tenebrous says: Or a finger. Or a freakish rat-human hybrid.
In answer to the question this no doubt poses, I had previously been directed to
The Miskatonic Mansion, a Lovecraft-inspired web browser game which I spent most of yesterday evening kicking around in. I recommend it even to the non-initiated 'cause it's very fun and very creepy and I enjoy sharing both those things with people.
