Eldritch?

[What??]

Ever read Jack and the Beanstalk? They were kind of like the giant... If the giant had an unhealthy obsession with food, and one of their parents was way too into snakes.

[gamerbrain]

Like lovecraft. Cthulu and stuff.

[ anyway, it sounds like it's not that. although she doesn't really understand what it was. ]

A giant with... Snakes?

[toesies]

... I have no idea what you're talking about.

[This is not her genre.]

Not quite. A giant that was like a snake. Their neck extended. It was pretty horrible.

[gamerbrain]

Like a ghost? Lots of ghosts have long necks.

[toesies]

No... Definitely more solid than a ghost. More blood, too.

[gamerbrain]

At least they weren't so horrifying that your mind couldn't process them, and had to replace them with something harmless and innocent looking. You might really lose your grip on reality if something like that happened.

[toesies]

... Do you have experience with that...?

[gamerbrain]

Not personally.

[toesies]

It's just, it's such a specific example.

[gamerbrain]

Don't worry about it.

[toesies]

Yeah... I'm going to worry about it anyway.

[gamerbrain]

As long as the monsters you're perceiving as monsters are actually monsters, everything is fine.

[toesies]

... Is that how it works?

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

[toesies]

Well... the monsters I ran into looked monster-ish, and that did not feel fine.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods and then just moves on. ]

So there's a killer and monsters.

[toesies]

Maybe just the one killer...? None of the monsters followed us.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi doesn't think a plot hook like that would be introduced and dropped again so quickly... So the monsters will probably come back.

[toesies]

You don't know. Plots get dropped very quickly all the time on television.

[gamerbrain]

Different mediums are written different...

For a visual novel, it would be strange.

[toesies]

Then I guess we're in luck. Yay us!

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi is just ?????? because she's pretty sure this is a visual novel?

but recently not. certain enough to speak up about it. ]

Aoi would rather know what happened to the monsters, though.

[toesies]

I guess... they're stuck wherever that place was. I think we would have noticed if a giant was walking through these hallways.

[gamerbrain]

So we need to try and keep from winding up there.

[toesies]

Right! So first we have to figure out how to do... that.
