I have been away for awhile, undergoing dark & wondrous transformations, IA! Such as reading Mr. Alan Moores Neonomicon. It is not a review of the entire comic you should fear, dear readers! Rather, a LIST OF 9 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO DURING A DEEP ONE MATING RITUAL
1: Yes, it formed an useful part of the ritual. Yes, one understands that he was competent, possibly a police officer, but seemed unlikely to convert: & thus best quickly disposed of. Even so. Clever. Cultists. Do. Not. Attempt to murder a mysterious black man.Especially one who displays a sense of humeour It is just not worth the risk-"suicide by Cosby", as my fishy new friends term it.
2: I am sure disposing of dead bodies in lime-pits is very traditional & Dick Turpin-esque, but there really are better things you can use them for. Especially when you are about to summon a hungry proto-Dagon (IA): he is going to need all the biomass he can get! Leftovers can decorate your home (be sure to discard any unidentified amulets or statuettes). Alternately, a sartain de Brys image is available online these days.

3: Tsk. Orgone energy. Whats next, peyote & Freudian psycho-analysis? This is the 21st century! Surely, by now, everyone has Googled that the true medium for psychic power transfers is the luminescent aether.
4: Performing Rites to Father Dagon (IA) in ghoul tunnels is just asking for complications, really.
5: Do not have male cultists present during the mating ritual, unless you really have no further use for them. Yes, our Deep brethren can make them pregnant too, but human males are unlikely to survive the process.
6: Our relatives from the Abyss are NOT noble savages. They might not have our martial technology-partially due to the lack of use of iron underwater, partially due to a society too efficient for wars-but there is a reason they are performing sex tourism on us, rather than the reverse. Several, in fact: not only do they have a superior economic system, they are also fully capable of culturally imperializing humanity.
So basing your ritual aesthetics on US "blue movies" may not be entirely satisfactory. Especially since, one fears, it has been tried quite a few times by now, so there is not even the novelty value. Perhaps some slightly more sophisticated brand of erotica?-not Japanese though; it is mostly Deep One derived anyway. It seems that early 20-century New England Episcopalian wedding rituals are surprisingly popular with our Finny pals, for reasons of sentiment.
7: One understands that Americans have something of a reputation for polite hospitality: so why not even a ceremonial greeting? A little group chorus of IA!s never hurt anyone...well, granted, perhaps it has, at times, but that is no excuse! One would like to, again, point out the need for sertain victuals, if nothing else than for reasons of self-preservation?
8:The Dreamers Below have a nearly Catholic dislike of wasting their seed: not to mention that smearing it around bodily orifices not meant for child-bearing can be potentially fatal. No wonder he seemed irate, & disinclined for polite conversation!
9:By now, many of our wave-bestriding compatriots speak English-& even more to the point, they are telepathic. One should not even contemplate screwing them over (in the metaphorical sense, that is) outside an appropriately warded area. As for loudly proclaiming of how one is going to "dispose" of those bearing their seed: well, there is a reason that the Whisperers in Darkness are not around any more.
