Canon: Eternal Darkness! Looking for a home maybe?

[mightovermadness]

...What do you mean that the flesh and bone devour small creatures that resemble my true form? You must be lying! These... Lobsters, you call them? They must be mighty creatures if they resemble me! Do they not have many mouths? What of their claws? Are they not strong enough to rip apart frail human flesh and crush bone?

...Is your sole reason in telling me this to incite my anger, or to insult me?

Here is hoping I AM NOT A BAD SPACE JELLYFISH

[mindovermight]

[ He could give a lecture on how stupid you are and why you should've expected this but he's too busy trying not to laugh... oh, he IS amused, Chattur'gha. ]

Can your infantile mind not grasp the simple implications of nature's order, Chattur'gha? How sad it must be for such a meandering, thick-headed thing like you, to see something modeled after his supposition of greatness... continually devoured by simplistic, weak, flesh and blood... pathetic.

[You. He doesn't understand all of what you said, but it pisses him off!!! But he's not starting a fight because he knows you'll just segment him again.]

Ulyaoth, I have been informed that there's something that resembles you, as well! A mere brainless blob that is carried everywhere by the waves!

[HAHA UR NOT THAT SMART!!!]

[mindovermight]

[ He is nonplussed, Chatty. Though that's a bit insulting, note to self: once humans are wiped out successfully, begin breeding intellect into these creatures and magick. ]

The smallest of these creatures, Chironex fleckeri, is able to fell anything of flesh and bone by simply brushing up against it with almost no effort whatsoever on its part. In fact, many of them are feared by mortals. If you seek to insinuate that just because they may be akin to me means that we are, in fact, one in the same, you are wasting your time with this contrivance. Have you ever heard of one of your Nephropidae--or "lobsters," as I suppose I should lower my standards for you--causing fatalities?

[mightovermadness]

[SHUT UP, SMARTY-PANTS.]

At least my lobsters would be aware of what they are doing.

[mindovermight]

[ IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, shutting up is not something he does. ]

Yes, yes, just in the same way an ape is aware of its baser urges to procreate and find food. Your sad countenance on these simplistic creatures is quite telling of your lack of mental acuity. But one supposes that you could always aspire to be on the same level as them; after all, I imagine that even such small things are wiser, still, than you. And their simplistic lot in the ever-turning wheel of life is to be devoured. Do you not find it ironic, Chattur'gha? Is devouring not all you do? Surely you can see the irony of disparaging flesh and blood over this?

[mightovermadness]

[He and Mantorok should talk, then. They can not shut up at each other. Also, he is getting very frustrated.]

Speak plainly instead of showing off, Ulyaoth! It is your pride which saw you killed by Xel'lotath!

[mindovermight]

And need I remind you it was YOU who limped away from the might of MY magick?

[ DON'T MAKE HIM TRY TO KILL YOU AGAIN, Chatty. HE WILL. Also no fuck Mantorok he doesn't even remotely LIKE the corpse god-- ]

Speak plainly? How about this: I see no future wherein you are successful.

[mightovermadness]

At least I wasn't fried by the very thing I was most proud of. And can the same not be said of you? Mantorok ensured all of our defeats.

[Exactly. You hate him, it would be fitting.]

[mindovermight]

[ ... Exactly why he won't. Also screw you, Chattur'gha. ]

Mantorok relied on subtle manipulations of our perceptions of differing realities across the ripples of the cosmos, rather than direct power. It was unwise to underestimate the Corpse God, even left festering. But while we may be defeated, it has not won--merely given those of mortality more time to deny their true masters.

[ IN OTHER WORDS: that fucker cheated, and he's not touching the Xel'lotath thing... ]

Space jelly meet space squid?

[controledfreak]

[Move your cursor over the little bouncing icon for a quick translation!]

And you. You are like me, are you not?

SPACE INVERTEBRATE PARTY?

[mindovermight]

[ Hm. Ulyaoth will raise a brow--humanized for ease at the moment, mostly, because iconning a giant space jellyfish that has no facial expressions would make roleplaying hard on my part. ]

While there may be similarities, a simplistic creature in any form could never hope to match the Master of the Planes. To elevate oneself to MY level is something most are incapable of; my true power is incomprehensible to most creatures of the mortal plane.

[ Arrogance. Ulyaoth has a lot of it. ]

AND IT WAS SO, BUT WOULD IT BE ANY GOOD?

[controledfreak]

I am no being of order. That you would not be able to know of one of my own is offensive to me.

[Sure, her realm is Sound and the Mind but she has her pride too, damnit. Apparently space eldritch things all have an abundance of that thing called arrogance.]

I DUNNO WITH ALL THIS EGO GOING AROUND IT MIGHT BE A DISASTER

[mindovermight]

[ Nnnnoooope, don't give a shit. ]

I see no reason to account for those of lesser value, simplistic or even remote of intellect. There may be others--there will always be others... but they do not matter to me. Order is senseless in a cosmos where it never occurred; where from the depths of chaos came all. Order is an illusion bound to those of flesh and bone, who do not see beyond their thinly-veiled reality.

... Even so, I suppose I shall acknowledge vague interest. Knowledge is the most important of strengths.

NO KIDDING

[controledfreak]

I am aware. And yet it is strange, is it not, that in spite of our great power that there are realms of order that persist. That despite our great and all-encompassing power there are these spaces in which our presence has not been felt. Do you not wonder why? What causes this realm to maintain the balance that ours does not possess? The power of chaos is vast. Far vaster than the limitations of this space. Should it not come to be that that which we know will wash into this realm as well and consume it?

Yet even you, with all your wisdom and strength, have not taken it upon himself to claim this realm. Even if order is an illusion that even a semblance of it exists at all is a mystery that we cannot deny.

it's about to get ~philosophical~ up in here

[mindovermight]

[ ... Hah, how amusing. ]

Though it pains me to admit it, even the might of my knowledge cannot cover every droplet in the small bucket that are the infinite timelines and expanses beyond that to which I belong. Places like this, and others, may yet be awaiting the day their freedom is stripped as they acknowledge their true superiors. Even the omniscient have gaps, pockets of darkness. Order is only an illusion wrought by the ancient rules written through force, such as those brought forth by the might of Mantorok. Even festering in death, it still has teeth, believing it can control and contain the other powers.

You might say it is ironic, perhaps, then, that humans would seek to attempt to control us... but control is very easily a perception that can also be shifted.

[You're just mad he won.]

She's good with that~ (in other words she's a blabbermouth too)

[controledfreak]

Or perhaps too you too are subject to the whims of the wheel of fate. Or are you so caught in your own powers that you do not believe that you could be caught in HIS snare?

[heavenscorpse]

Flesh and blood isn't that weak. Almost all of the time organisms made up of flesh will win over plants, and most of the time be minorly inconvenienced by bacteria at most. I'd have to say they're at the top of natural life.

[Speaking as what amounts to an eldritch plant here.]

[mindovermight]

You are an amusing little child, aren't you. Your garrulous thoughts of them are but the adorations of someone who does not comprehend what is above, and what is below. Flesh and blood are nothing more than a scant grain of sand in the wind when compared to the Ancients. They cannot, could not, hope to comprehend or understand what our might is, or ever hope to elevate themselves to our level. Formless might, powerful enough to transcend the Planes... we have no need for their easily tossed aside ways.

[ They exist in multiple dimensions, timestreams, and everything else. And are about as big as planets. And made up of weird space shit, so yeah.

... Never mind they're KIND of human now, but that's beside the point. ]

[heavenscorpse]

That's okay. They don't have any need for yours either.

[It's not meant an insulting kind of way, just a 'yep humans are pretty great on their own'.]

[mindovermight]

You are correct. The only job of flesh and bone is to feed the dying whimpers of the pathetic likes of the remaining Ancients. I, however, see no need to waste a moderately amusing moment in the cosmos once my power is left uncontested. If they are wise, they will serve me unquestioningly; to plot, to think, to even breathe without my consent... annihilation. Planets rise, they fall, and humans, too, will disappear into the ether from whence they emerged first, as nothing but mere primordial ooze.

[ TL;DR: I would enslave humans for the lulz and probably kill half of them out of boredom. ]

[heavenscorpse]

They take longer to die than planets, though. Speaking from personal experience, even killing the Earth isn't enough to stop humans from surviving, and normally that kills everything that lives on a planet.

Maybe they will die out, but they won't do that without having left a mark.

[mindovermight]

And that which is prolific in size takes longer to fall to its knees than that which is not. They have left their mark, though. A blemish on the otherwise beautiful Planes, a mere pustule of a race. I seek to clean that infection, that filth, from the universe. Humans live in ignorant bliss, unaware that not even the gods need interfere to end their trifling ways--a simple movement of a star could wipe them from existence.

[ Humans are stupid. You are the same as Mantorok, he swears. WHY is this SO HARD to grasp? ]

[heavenscorpse]

Isn't the definition of beauty something that nobody can define? If I say their mark is beautiful to me, then I can't be proven wrong. You're free to find them otherwise.

[cosmicbabysitter]

That is enough, Ulyaoth. It is quite amusing, however, that you, who can see so much, cannot see the potential and the great ability of the flesh and blood.

[You're acting the child now.]
