It's a very very mad world...

[endlesscurse]

[There's a newcomer to this world today. He's mighty confused by the sudden shift; there's definitely no city on the mountain. He'll just kind of stand in the middle of a street with what is blatantly wide-eyed confusion on his face. That is, before it starts turning into panic.

For those sensitive to it, however, there's a definite aura around Red. It's twisted and warped and outright wrong and the closer you get to him the worse the feeling gets. It might be somewhat similar to an Old One - but at the same time there's something decidedly different. Nothing about Ghost is remotely "right", after all.]

[See, that would probably get more of a reaction out of him. That is, it would if it didn't sound so like everything he hears while he's possessed. Instead of a scream, it gets something like a strangled sob, during which Ghost almost gets control.

Now that Their voices have been pointed out, he can hear them; he legitimately had not noticed until now. ...Did we mention he's slow?]

..."Headcrab"? [Yep. That's his reaction, once he's finished internally flailing over that voice.]

[screwreality]

「HEY! YOU TOOK THAT PRETTY WELL! MOST PEOPLE BLEED PROFUSELY FROM MULTIPLE ORIFACES AND DIE IN INDESCRIBEABLE AGONY! GOOD FOR YOU! GOLD STAR!」

[He writes it off as he's not that crazy. Yet. If he hears them now then it's only a matter of time before the words can be heard without pain. And when that time comes, he'll have a dictionary and a contract.

He's not sorry.]

「OH. THEY'RE ALIENS FROM THIS ONE VIDEO GAME. YOU PLAY AS MORGAN FREEMAN OR SOMETHING AND YOU HAVE A DUMB MUSTACHE AND A DUMBER OUTFIT AND THEN EVERYONE TAKES APART YOUR ENGINE TO MAKE BETTER GAMES. BUT THE HEADCRABS WERE THESE THINGS THAT LATCH ON YOUR HEAD AND RIP IT OUT AND THEN TAKE ITS PLACE. CONSTANTLY RAN AROUND ON THE CEILING. ANNOYING LITTLE BASTARDS!」

[These are the exact conversations you should be having after hearing into forever.]

[...You know he wouldn't be surprised if Ghost's made specifically that happen to people before.

But let's focus on the video game topic, Red would rather not discuss the finer points of possession and Old Ones.]

...Don't think I've played that one. Not for the SNES...? [Yup, Red knows SNES games.]
