Jack Walters would like to go back to the asylum now please; Canon is Cthulhu Mythos

[lookslike_fishmen]

After everything that has happened, you would do this to me? What reason could you possibly have for any of this?

And what do you mean, one of them is here already? I can't do this anymore...

Well, if I can't convince you, I hope you know what you're doing.

Aaaaand you reminded me to convert my LJ Cthulhu over to here

[old_one_hero]

Oh hey there, long time no see.

[Yep Cthulhu is here in all his fishy glory.]

\o/ now I feel accomplished and asldfkjslfj I LOVE Cthulhu Saves The World

[lookslike_fishmen]

... Oh fuck.

[He remembers you! Even if he technically only met you through statues.]

\o/ Also love your reference to the song.

[old_one_hero]

Oh calm down. It isn't like I'm going to eat you or anything.

And even if you weren't already insane I don't do that from the mere sight of me any more.

It was too appropriate to pass up

[lookslike_fishmen]

Well, can't be too careful. [Everything else over the last six years considered and all...]

... You really aren't, are you? How strange.

As was commenting with Cthulhu here :P

[old_one_hero]

Yeah and consider the fact I'm your stature sort of a perk of what point I'm from.

Truly this has become the best day ever now :D

[lookslike_fishmen]

After seeing... [-Dagon and Hydra-] ... the statues, I had thought you'd be. Taller.

Aaand just got better seeing the person below me. If I'm right about who that is

[old_one_hero]

I usually am.

Some stupid mysterious man sealed away my powers.

You most likely are

[lookslike_fishmen]

[Where is this guy, he wants to shake his hand. As it is he just offers a quiet, sardonic snort.]

Isn't that the way it usually is.

[old_one_hero]

Oh don't test me. I'm still more powerful than you Jack.

[This wasn't a righteous anger, more embarrassed]

[lookslike_fishmen]

I wouldn't dream of it. I'm not stupid.

[Crazy yes, but the other? Nope.]

[old_one_hero]

That I'm sure of considering you survived long enough to get thrown into an Asylum.

Not a lot of people ever made it that far.

[lookslike_fishmen]

Just lucky, I guess. [Depending on how you look at it...] Or I'm not most people.

Besides, I had help.

[old_one_hero]

Still; not bad.

Though now that I have to do this whole hero thing I wish I could help you with your whole sanity thing.

The problem is mostly human brains are just not meant to comprehend some of the things you've seen.

[lookslike_fishmen]

There is no possible way to ease a human into understanding what is out there, practically under their noses.

And there is no way to take back what has been shown to them once they see it even if someone tries to.

[old_one_hero]

Oh I know. You guys are built for no more than three maybe four dimensions at best.

[lookslike_fishmen]

Less, mostly. The lucky ones will never have to test it.

[crawlingchaos]

Reason is a frail reed, Jack Walters. You of all men should know this.

[lookslike_fishmen]

[WHERE ARE ALL OF YOU COMING FROM wait don't answer that, he really doesn't want to know.]

... I realize. I guess it's asking too much that at least one person has it. Temporarily.

[crawlingchaos]

[Especially when you're talking to Nyarlathotep.]

It is better to be where you are, then? Rare is the man who would count himself satisfied with his circumstances.

[lookslike_fishmen]

[Especially when dealing with most things these days, Jack finds.]

Forgetting again wouldn't do any good. Going back would just make things repeat. The only other way to... fix things... got me here.

Do I have to warn for spoilers for a game from 2005? OH WELL SPOILERS YO.

[crawlingchaos]

You are now a wiser man than you were, for you have discovered that death grants no surcease, as countless before you have learned. Fear is only prudent, for all the good 'tis like to do you.

BEST SPOILERS EVER

[lookslike_fishmen]

I was wiser before I tried to find a way out than I was six years ago. I sometimes wonder if I would have been better off being ignorant of what I know now. Fear is prudent, but it is as good a defense as not knowing what is out there, being blind to just how strange things can be.

tl;dr nobody lives happily ever after, the end. I have now summarized all of Lovecraft.

[crawlingchaos]

Neither can protect you from that which dwells beneath the earth and in the vasty reaches of the void beyond, though you speak truly when you say men are happier if they can think their simple world all that is, shaped only by small gods with small desires.

And several other fandoms, to boot. Happy endings are for people much less cool anyway.

[lookslike_fishmen]

Humanity is blessed, seeing everything as small as they are, and mostly unwilling to test the boundaries set by their dreams and nightmares. We were not meant to see farther, we're too... fragile.

[crawlingchaos]

Others have found refuge in madness, Jack Walters. You sought it there, but achieved it not.

[lookslike_fishmen]

It would seem I am quickly running out of places to find refuge. I doubt there is much left to me.
