Boat Trolls planning thread! (full of spoilers, non-players enter at your own risk)

Aw you poor dude! Hope you feel better soon.

 

This isnt to nag, just to say, if you're stuck and want me to add/edit/summarize anything im down w that. Hope your nasty mouth hole's feeling better!

 

Ok yeah i was thinking my last post was kinda open ended. Ill do a thing when i get back to my computer!

 

This is end of night 3, middle of night 4 is flipout time! This is 'uneasy and emotional' time. There's this round and night 4's first round of dialysis, and then night 4's second round is when he goes berserk.

I think get well soon or else cards are a known thing, no one means the threats, its just friendly troll manners.

 

should we skip to the next evening's session? when the sabotage paranoia really takes hold? i could sum up stuff till then. but tell me how murfey's doing so i can say erskin fussed over him too when he's in. because he definitely would be!

 

yyyrrngh ok those owls genuinely scared me.

also obviously the moths crawl into all the holes in your head and die there. and you fill up with soft dusty moth bits, until you can't breathe or see or hear. and then after you die the caterpillars crawl out from between your bones.

 

i adore owls! and moths. but i sympathize with murfey about tooth rot, i have nightmares about that kinda thing. having to peel my gums off and stuff, yuck.

what i'm scared of is: the dark (bwah!), mirrors (what if you spot something that's not supposed to be there and it has to kill you for it), closets (the back of which are doors where bad things come through), round analogue clocks (windows where something cold and awful has their eyes pressed up against) and that there could be a floating thing behind you watching you but the minute you look back and see it it'll GET YOU.

i... am scared of a lot of things, haha. a lot of it seems to have to do with ambush predators. that's something for the next therapist to chew on, i bet!

 

hmm, i know to be a bit cautious of seaweed in the surf, because it can trip you up. it must be extra freaky if it does that maliciously.

also re: troll delusions, it would be interesting if a lot of trolls, when sufficiently nuts, have a big AHA! moment and think 'wait, the dark is bad... we just thought it was good... BECAUSE THE DARK TOLD US SO. ACTUALLY IT'S THE LIGHT THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S WHY EVERYTHING IS WRONG WE'RE NOT BEING IN THE SUNLIGHT LIKE HOW WE SHOULD BE OH GOSH IT ALL FITS.'

i wonder how many alternian movies have the heroes heroically scuffling with a crazed teammate, trying to get him to stop fucking heading for the light.

i've been reading a great series, Zones Of Thought, and there's a species of spiders that make it through centuries-long winters by burrowing deep, then freezing themselves in pools. and so these coldnaught spiders are pioneering waking up in the middle of the winter to do military maneuvers against a sleeping enemy, but one of their members has a flaw in his suit, and starts losing his shit and scurrying into every depression he can find, like 'we gotta dig, guys, we gotta go deeper, we can't stay up here, we gotta get down, we gotta dig' until finally he breaks loose from them dragging him and throws himself over a cliff because he just needs to go down so badly. poor dude.

 

i can toss you the ebook copy of zones of thought, i think? it's technically a 'trilogy' but so far halfway through the second book it just seems like a set of stories in the same universe. incredible aliens, though. the first book has HIVEMIND DOG-RATS that are only sentient in aggregate, it's fucking awesome. i was hoping for more dograts in the second book but instead it's spiders. spiders where the dads take care of the babies! and grow 'paternal fur' for the babies to hold on to. so so cute.

 

okay to get back to boat trolls stuff, what do you think of this guy: https://www.tumblr.com/search/Jordan+Barrett for galley and this guy: http://lovingmalemodels.tumblr.com/tagged/Diego-Barrueco for erskin? not exact ringers, but something like.
