[P2TM Chat] The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse

[The Grey Wolf]

One that disturbed others, sure, but not myself.

I think my short story entry was one of those posts.

That baby got me second place

I like it. It's good.

This is what disturbed me. It's not scary or horrifying or violent or whatnot. I've objectively written worse things. But it was the one that had a personal impact on myself, though not necessarily on others.

This bit:

Crowley sat quietly and alone in his Graveyard, meditating on the dying Earth before him. His eyes averted from the statues around him.

He poured himself a drink. A new statue had appeared in this Graveyard, and Crowley took a brief look at it. Minh Taka. Azazel had killed him. But now Azazel was in this Graveyard too, somewhere.

Crowley took a deep breath. The drink was good. The drink kept him numb, able to go on. He was hardly a man, after all. Just a corpse with a heartbeat, with wounds below the skin that ripped and hurt and enraged him every damn day. Every fucking day. Every fucking day. Every fucking day. Every fucking day. That desperate rage, that hatred, that misery.

Crowley knew something very true, a truth that he knew that everyone knew about him, the sole certainty in his life. Aleister Crowley was worthless. Every fucking breath he took was a breath wasted.

He wondered idly if he could stop his breathing, whether that would kill him. But then he'd just start breathing yet again, giving into it at the last minute.

He wondered what it would like if his name joined those already here. Lewis's name was somewhere here too. Shit, so was Valaran Fixban. Richard.

He was so old now. So very old.

A drink. A chug. He wanted to drown in this, drown in a sea of numbness and silence. It was so much easier that way, then facing himself. He had looked in the mirror this morning, hardly recognising the man looking back at him. He glanced down at his hand, bandaged. He had picked the glass shards out shortly afterwards. He would need a new mirror.

Another drink. This bottle was endless. Deliberately so. Perhaps if he never moved forward, there would never be a past. Just the present. Just now. Just him and this bottle. So simple when looked at that way.

Life was simple then. Just stay still. Don't move on. He was worthless, but this bottle...ah, it helped. It helped him. The dull pain in his hand helped him, as did the pain in his wrists and elsewhere. That was a good pain. That distracted him.

He shut his eyes to keep away the ghosts. They were there. They were sad. They wanted to know why they weren't saved, why they were dead. Crowley could face them later. Later when he proved he couldn't save himself too.

Simple life. Simple bottle.

He suddenly threw the bottle to the ground. "FUCK YOU!" he roared suddenly into the empty space. "FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE FUCK YOU!" he screamed at the only person in this pocket universe.

"Fuck me." he said sadly. He was alone. Alone with the ghosts. And the rage. And the hatred. And the misery.

Worthless life. Worthless bottle. Worthless Crowley.

I did have a similar experience, involving a character rather than a post though. They had done something in childhood that haunted them and gripped them in fear, and all they wanted was to be able to get away from it. That hit a little too close to home, and I considered just not making the character, but did anyway.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Indeed. In order to write that, I did have to go off experience and my own demons. I did not enjoy doing it, so I cut it off short.

If I based all my characters on me, my thoughts and my demons you probably would start to think I'm a psychopath.

I'm not quite The Joker yet, though.

Crowley wound up holding similar personality traits to myself.

This was in no way intended. I generally considered him completely separate from myself, though with a shared hobby involving tea and cricket.

[Ionian Knights]

I feel like roleplayign again...

Dammit it AP lit and LoK/RWBY

I always try to put some of my own personality traits into my characters, mainly because I feel I can better describe them if I know what they're going through.

Rest of you lot - ever written a post that's disturbed you?

I once watched an music video about suicide and because they were showing the people cutting themselves (While zooming in on the cut) and killing themselves I just didn't watch it.

Superpowered teens RP, while attracting players, is an overused material.

We must go further.

Superpowered babies.

Better suggestion...souls which have to go through an arduous process to understand, and use their powers responsibly .

Yo does anyone here play Hearthstone?

YESYESYESYES

Usually with my favorite deck, "IT'S THRALL TIME", with the coolest card ever - the Venture Co Mercenary!

*explodes*

Lol how are they the coolest? You have to silence them or their annoying passive minion cost increase can be super annoying. I just started playing but I have a prototype (read: unfinished) aggro mage deck that I'm working on as well as a Bloodfury Shaman deck and a control Priest deck.

But you didn't write it (it's not even written media in the first place), so...

If stories count, then yes. Gave myself nightmares and drove my English teacher to tears.

Haven't had the opportunity to write a disturbing post, yet, though.

The technicalities, they burn.

Not at all what I meant.

No split of Berlin or occupation of Germany, meaning less Cold War hotspots.

Which would lead to Robo-Zombie-Hitler starting World War III.

Ever read The Man with the Iron Heart? Interesting take on post-War Germany in the case of the Wolverines not being complete fuckups.

Indeed I have. It's an interesting story.

Also, the Wolverines were the group of kids from Red Dawn. The German post-War guerillas were the Werewolves.

Fuck me. I can't be expected to keep all these small furry mammalian predators straight, not in this great complex world of ever-expanding phyla.

I enjoyed the Nazi suicide bombers extensively. Seemed like a tactic the Reich would have used if only they would have thought of it.

Started working on a new fantasy rp. I get the feeling this is going to be one of those projects where I get way over my head, and spend the entire week typing furiously until I have created an insane, chaotic world that might accidentally reveal my drug habits*.

*This is obviously a joke.

You know I would never rat on you, Lavan.
