Oh god I am bad at breaches but I like tentacles what do
Mad Larkin
many tentacles
book of thot
tentacles for sure
Luke Skywanker
k i guess I can try to think... what do my characters need to learn or what might be good/interesting development...
Luke Skywanker
Luke is way too isolated I think
Luke Skywanker
timid almost, after losing a bunch of people and making an unpopular decision and still dealing with the knowledge he fucks everything up in the future
Luke Skywanker
oh man what if Spike is like... just some dude who totally denies anything weird is going on
Un(t)sundered
I mean, this could be a good way to get Luke some CR, if you were looking for that?
Luke Skywanker
Yeah I just gotta figure out how
Luke Skywanker
I am going through the wiki and man... finding really hard to find anything to hang my dudes onto
Un(t)sundered
Luke could be someone who has seen Visions maybe?
Un(t)sundered
if you wanna go with the fact that he's seen his future
Un(t)sundered
barring that... someone fighting against the Forces of Darkness?
Un(t)sundered
it's just now the dark forces include More Tentacle

idle ideas: luke's an out of towner in miskatonic for college, but possibly got mixed up with some kind of cult type deal and saw more than he should've or ever would've wanted when they actually managed to summon something
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
most of them died but he got out alive tho with some hits to sanity but riffing off Un(t)sundered is quite sensitive to the presence of the paranatural and abnormal now, is w orried about the whole thing, and wants to learn more in true young hero fashion
Luke Skywanker
ooh like accidental cult victim I like that.
Luke Skywanker
I was trying to find an in-world vampire type for Spike to be but so far I'm not sure what to do with a giant vampiric squid
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
possibly a fun way to tie it in with preestablished cr: kahl? he's half elder god and collecting cultists
yallternative
Everything seems pretty lenient about tweaking for stuff like that - you could probably tone down squidness if you're just aiming for vampire? Some weird half-botched magic thing, he's a weird hybrid, so on and so forth.
Un(t)sundered
Tesla isn't a vampire in this one, but he is an eldritch being; Spike could either be a cultist or someone he's keeping his eyes on?
Luke Skywanker
Spike has graduated, but still needs purpose... trying to decide whether to give him that here or to remind him what it's like not to have it.
Luke Skywanker
also thanks, this is really helpful
yallternative
I would think maybe a sample of purpose would be easier to work toward than more absence would be to work away from? But I'm not playing him, Iunno how his brain is
Luke Skywanker
bluecanary but what if Luke is a Bill cultist who works at DD?
bluecanary
oh my god
bluecanary
bill is an aspect of nyarlathotep it fits very well
bluecanary
does he know bill's tru identity
Luke Skywanker
I don't know how this works what works for you?
Luke Skywanker
I jsut think they'd be super embarrassed after
bluecanary
GOD RIGHT?
bluecanary
how it works is that bill and tesla are the same evil god being two people at the same time because he's just that unknowable. bill is functionally his own person but also part of a bigger thingy. like jesus? like double jesus? that's terrible. my grandmother would hate me saying this.
bluecanary
two jesuses at the same time?
bluecanary
to cover more ground?
Luke Skywanker
so what would his cultists... do?
bluecanary
WELL,
bluecanary
starbucks is run by dagon
bluecanary
and they're trying to make sure he doesn't get control of miskatonic or the greater boston area
bluecanary
dunkin donuts is
bluecanary
as a tool, of the crawling chaos
bluecanary
cultists can do, i dont even know, we can make shit up
bluecanary
if it sounds like shit a dark cultist would do
bluecanary
they probably do it
bluecanary
its a pretty loosey goosey make shit up kind of
bluecanary

stand out on the sidewalk offering free donut samples if you take a cult pamphlet

wink at you real friendly-like but you get close and it's just a lot of malicious misinformation about RIVAL BRANDS

subliminal shit in the advertisements
Luke Skywanker
honestly probably just selling those donuts by itself
Luke Skywanker
Though I do like the idea of Luke as a Touched Ex-Cultist, like, kinda fragile and broken but not quite all the way mad
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
integrate em both, he bounced out from one cult into another that appeared friendlier and more understanding?
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
i feel that'd kind of be realistic actually
yallternative
And that! Just providing an Objectively Superior Product
yesss
undrwo
Or you could do the whole corporate training as cult initiation

"Welcome to Dunkin Donuts, please watch this employee standards video; remember, always wash your hands, and when you're done look into the mirror for five minutes until the lit dark until the shadows in your face distort it into the visage of our leader."
Luke Skywanker
OMG like, he ran to his normal job selling donuts after his cult brush
Luke Skywanker
Thinking this will be So Normal

/sits here
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
i'm envisioning like crowley-level unholy shenanigans here
Un(t)sundered
god like. imagine Bill and Tesla trading off whose acting as manager that day
Un(t)sundered
"which of them is the manager?" "yes"
Un(t)sundered
*who's
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
nyarlathotep has to carry the fight so it's very important they make plan that day
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
now get out there and serve that coffee, team
bluecanary
oh is tesla in on the donut sham i assumed he was doing something like more . . .. . . dignified . . . .. . . . . lmao . . . but no im totally down for this god this is gonna be so fun
Un(t)sundered
I mean, he could be! and might like also be?
bluecanary
"hey boss why's there a massive screaming pit in the sky behind the shop" "we call that the donut hole, HAH do ya get it" "ok but"
Un(t)sundered
maybe's there's the manager and like
Un(t)sundered
the more mysterious manager
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
frankly, given my experiences in retail, bill cipher: middle manager is unnervingly on brand
Un(t)sundered
who is friendlier but only there like
Un(t)sundered
once in a blue moon before vanishing off Elsewhere
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
the store manager and the area manager

i just heard "SKYWALKER! IF YOU HAVE TIME TO LEAN, YOU HAVE TIME TO CLEAN!" in bill's voice
bluecanary
no but add a thick Boston accent also
bluecanary
I'm so sorry about what has happened to your plurk pepper it's a madhouse of donut hell
Luke Skywanker
no it's ok I just haven't kept up lol
Luke Skywanker
ok into this
Luke Skywanker
it takes Luke a weirdly long time to figure out this, too, is a cult
bluecanary
what was his previous cult
bluecanary
also is he into being in a new one or na
Luke Skywanker
No he Saw Things and got spooked and retreated to Normal Donut Life. I think it'd be funny if his fervor for Not Being a Cultist led to culty behavior here.
bluecanary
ya work for one of the gods directly kid!!!! [gets him in an affectionate headlock]
Luke Skywanker
trying to escape destiny, etc
bluecanary
bill is like. bill loves luke. he's adorable. look at this wide-eyed twink that keeps getting suckered into things
Luke Skywanker
This is great
Luke Skywanker
earnestly joining thinking he's being so careful
