Midnight Pals: The Black Lord

Colin Hinckley: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the back lord Hinckley: what if there was a monster in the woods behind your house Hinckley: and it wanted to eat... YOUR SON???? Stephen King: no! King: not my boy joe! King: anything but that

King: if some eldritch elder god monster tried to eat my precious baby joe, i would fuckin' kill that monster! Barker: oh how you gonna kill a monster huh steve? with a gun? Hinckley: actually Barker: Barker: no way Brian Lumley: yeah! pow! bam! right between the eyes!

King: listen, clive, i would die for my boy joe King: you'll understand when you have kids of your own King: there's nothing more precious to me than my son joe Barker: what about owen? King: who? Barker: owen Barker: your other son King: oh! owen! right, right! King: King: i'm aware of his work

Hinckley: there's this family stalked by an eldritch baby-eating monster from the woods Hinckley: but the monster is actually the family's grandfather! King: wow! i bet family holidays are REAL awkward in that household! King: ha ha cuz King: cuz ha ha Barker: yeah we all get it steve

Hinckley: you know how it is with families Hinckley: every family's got that one relative who's a baby eating eldritch god King: oh yeah yeah don't get me started on that! Barker: yeah very relatable Poe: i know how that is Lovecraft: of course Koontz: yeah totes

Hinckley: of course if you don't have a baby eating eldritch god in your family Hinckley: it probably means that YOU'RE the baby eating eldritch god Stephen Gresham: couldn't be me Gresham: it just couldn't Barker: always the one you least suspect huh? Gresham: that's not funny!

Hinckley: now this eldritch monster Hinckley: the important thing about it is that it looks almost lupine Hinckley: that's real important, so let me say that again Koontz: what's lupine mean? Hinckley: it means like a wolf Koontz: a wolf is a kind of dog :) Hinckley: no dean we're not doing that

I love that neither of our heroes fit the Cliche Hysterical Lovecraft Protagonist mold so far, and that they do it in very different ways

Henri-Laurent de Merigny, Human With A Functioning Brain who knows he’s in a Cthulhu Mythos story and can see the fucking warning signs: Look dude we know the Cthonians are coming back for their monster eggs, so let’s save our skins and deny them their prize by throwing them in the damn sea and think no more about it

Titus Crow, Certified Baller: Or, y’know, we could use the eggs as bait
