A Friendly Little Tentacle

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss - I am the ear worm - let me in.

Hiya Chuck. It’s John.

Guts as a cauldron. I’ve gotta tell you, that’s a pretty metaphor from the buzzing. But what if it’s the wrong metaphor? What if it’s pregnancy? What if we create our own mythos, birth our own devils to torment us? This is our world, Chuck.

They say, “Big Bad Faust!” But are you going to listen to them, Chuck? They invited you in-Red and Green and Blue-and it’s a friendly Christmas party. But you signed the dotted line. They let you into the super-supernatural world. Then it’s all experimental. Another day, another ward, a new counter-curse, another deity angered, and you are in deeper and deeper-and you have to keep up on that shit, Chuck, or you’re dead for keeps. That APR is killer. It’s going to grind you down, Chuck. It’s going to make you a good little drone in the hive.

Yeah, okay, I'm in a sentimental mood. 🧡 Here's a smattering of some of my best screenshots from The Secret World, back when I was still playing it (nearly ten years ago)! Featuring Arlen Askew and the EP2uesday crew, plus some other EP friends and also KG and Saïd and a whole heck of a lot of Little Smilers.

And a rock that looks like a dinky doo.

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

If they knew the kind of portal this was, they’d lose their shit.

“I promised you my name. There are so many names. Once upon a time, a prophet forced me to admit the seventeen names I used to sow mischief. Say my name; Abeko. Abito. Amizo. Say my name; Batna. Eilo. Ita. Izorpo. Kea! Kali! Say my name; Odam! Kokos! Partasah! Patrota! Podo! Satrina! Talto!”

So we kinda broke the New York Raid, twice (once getting stuck in the upper level, then when the GM moved us down to ground level, the Lurker didn’t fight back and then stayed at 1hp).
