hh_mirror((The Shoggies have decided it is 'Cthulhoo Day' because in the HPL story "The Call of Cthulhu, April 25th is the date on which Cthulhu woke up to munch on a few fishermen. None of the food at the party is necessarily hexed, unless you feel like your characters finding something a house-elf got creative with, or any magical products the Shoggies might have brought back from Hogsmeade. Your characters don't have to interact with the Shoggies if they don't want to, of course. =D They're just all over the tower, since there's lots of them.))
((Gets NSFW by the end of the Dethklok sub-thread.))
The Shoggies weren't usually aware of dates, but, they were sensitive to the stars and their varying degrees of rightness. And, today, Shoggy 10 awoke from whatever dreams it was that Shoggies had during whatever it was that passed for Shoggy sleep. "Oh my Great Cthulhoo!" it announced loudly, waking Shoggies 3, 4.6, and 18, who all simultaneously popped out of their drawers and annouced, "It's Cthulhoo Day!" For, the Shoggies had all realized that on this date 85 years ago, sunken R'lyeh had briefly arisen, and Great Cthulhu had eaten a few fishermen. This was a day to celebrate! "We gots to have a party!" insisted Shoggy 3, and the others agreed enthusiastically. They squelched down from their drawers and set out to find the rest of the Hogwarts Shoggies.
It was only a couple hours later that the first of the weird signs started appearing in the halls. Shoggies 3, 4.6, 10, and 18 had suggested to the others that they use construction paper and paint to make their party announcements, since it would be faster than carving them out of stone, and so, they had. The signs were all quite colourful, and had been decorated with paintings of a corpulent, squid-headed creature with small wings, often shown with a handful of tiny little men splattered in red paint, and the words 'yum yum'. The signs all said basically the same thing, and it was evident from the grammar that Toki and Skwisgaar's Shoggies had done most of the lettering. The lettering was quite crude, as, Shoggies were used to complicated hieroglyphs, and not the simplistic shapes of the alphabet.
IT IS CTHULHOO DAY! Comes to our party and celebrates!
The party is ats Andy's McGraw Tower ons the grounds.
Comes when it gets dark! Brings a sacrifice if you wants!
Don't worry, we cans say Fhtagn right!
There wills be chickens and beer and candy and sandwiches ands other foods.
It'll be SOOO COOL!
By early evening, the Shoggies had everything ready for the party, and gathered it all together at the unholy version of McGraw tower which had graced the campus since they'd transported it from the past for Andy's Christmas present. The chimes of the mostly-manifest tower were playing an eerie, unnatural music. House-elves had helped the Shoggies with the food, and so there was beer (ridiculous quantities of it, as, the Shoggies had learned about beer from Nathan Explosion), and there was chicken, and there were sandwiches as promised- eyeball sandwiches were the Shoggies' current favorite, so most were these. A close examination would reveal that the eyesalls were some sort of wizarding candy. There was also a huge heap of other wizarding candies, as Shoggy 10 had had talked its "Master Toki-Dad" into giving them the galleons to send a delegation of Shoggies to Hogsmeade. Some of the less civilized Hogwarts Shoggies had brought their contributions to the party as well, which included a dead acromantula brought by those who usually stayed with Smaug. It was arranged as a sort of centerpiece for everything else, lying on its back with its legs in the air. They'd painted a large mural one one wall, of the same squid-headed creature eating little men from a boat.
Once the Shoggies had everything arranged, some of them waited expectantly for partygoers. Some of them had already been distracted by the piles of food, and yet others had wandered off into the rather Escher-esque staircases of the tower.

Date: 2010-04-15 02:06 am (UTC)"I'm too busy to have shark-babies," was all the manager murmured. "And I'm not drunk enough for play." Any other response was cut off when the Great Old One made his entrance.
No, Ofdensen expected Cthulhoo. That's why the party existed, after all. He's only making sure no one else gets summoned.
He did blink when Cthulhoo arose and ate the Muggles. "Did...did he say 'yum yum'?"
It figures that that would be the only thing that surprised him.

Date: 2010-04-15 03:53 am (UTC)That's what Jasper's for, to offer use of the Baron's private pool-bath while the Skwisquarium is being built. I'd hoped for Skwis and Toki to have some time in the lake before then, but you have a point about the hypothermia worries. Whatever you guys want to do. If Toki and Pickles both need some warming up, they can always hit the Dethtub first.))
"Pffft, no cannibals shark babies then," Skwisgaar said with an amused look, glancing from Toki to Nathan and Ofdensen. "And nots in de lake," he agreed regarding collars and leashes. "Ins private," he said as though it should have been obvious, wondering how close Toki was to reaching his sloppy stage of drunkenness. Then he'd probably end up having to babysit Toki instead of trying to have sex with him, which wasn't something he looked forward to. He could pretty easily keep Toki from drowning, just as he'd said, but he'd have a harder time keeping him out of the water or warming him up if it became necessary to for any reason. He sighed, slumping further into Toki's lap. Maybe the aquarium wouldn't take very long to build, he hoped. They should get some house elves on it. "He has greats big wings too, and ams supposed to flies ats Ragnarök, withs deads people alls over him," he replied, not surprised that Toki wouldn't know this. His creepy cultist parents were obviously to blame for his lack of knowledge about Norse mythology.
He was in the middle of attempting to explain Ragnarök (and who didn't love spooky campfire stories?) when the Shoggies all quickly squelched off to greet their squid god guy. He lifted his head and pushed himself up on his arms, struggling to sit up with a lower body that wasn't cooperating very well. At least whatever he'd felt sliding out of his body -- which he was pretty sure had to be his cock, or one of them -- had withdrawn back into it, so he didn't have to worry about anyone staring at it.
He caught a glimpse of Cthulhoo before he disappeared -- he wasn't quite as cool as a green dragon would have been to Skwisgaar, but the fact he was the Shoggies' pal and looked like a gigantic tentacle monster made up for it. Cthulhoo was also a good temporary distraction from thinking about how unlikely it was he'd get laid any time soon. Dildos school with its dildos magic. "Ja, dats looked likes de tentacles monster on de fliers! And he dids say 'yum yum'," he said, amused. "Bets de Shoggies ams really happy now." And that was some consolation for what attending the party had done to him. "Hey, de Dethtubs ams almost bigs enough to swims in," he said. Toki's comment had reminded him of it.
He raised an eyebrow as Pickles ran by whooping, and figured he may as well follow, as his skin was drying out. The path he'd already made in the wet mud made it easier to sort of slither along while pulling himself back into the water. Even though they were lopsided, the braids actually helped keep his hair out of his face once he was in deep enough water to be fully submerged. He remained near the shore this time, anticipating having to keep Toki and Pickles from drowning themselves.

Date: 2010-04-16 09:04 am (UTC)Toki was beginning to think that his bandmates were a bit too fascinated with the idea of one of them getting knocked up, given that Nathan seemed to want to make assbabies with Ofdensen now. With his typical naievete, Toki still hadn't figure out what was going on between the singer and their manager, so just looked at them funny. Perhaps it was something contagious, given that Pickles had even tried to get in on the snuggling- it was one of those things that would make sense later, if he remembered it sober. He was pretty sure that most of them weren't behaving terribly metal right then, but, he also didn't care. He was far more interested in taking a swim, despite the appearances of insanely immense Great Old Ones and god-like dragons. Toki was also rather slow on the uptake regarding just who the dragon was- Nidhögg wasn't an unfamiliar name, even if his parents didn't encourage him to learn about mythology. But, the dragon literally being a mythological hadn't actually registered yet. "why's he living ins the lake, if he's the Ragnarök dragons? Shouldn't he be ins the tree or somethings like that?" If Toki did actually end up meeting Nidhögg, the poor dragon was liable to be deluged with silly questions.
"We can takes a swim, and thens go back inside and find yous somewhere to stay while I get the house-elves to makes your private aquariums. And thens we can play with the leashes." He agreed it was better somewhere private, and, wasn't quite so sloppy drunk as he could have been. He was just exuberantly drunk. "The Shoggies might can helps too, they's good at building." The Shoggies came squelching back after their 'Great Master Cthulhoo' had vanished again- it was likely to be a few hours before they calmed down enough to be set to any tasks. "That was Great Master Cthulhoo!" Shoggy 10 confirmed as they returned, explaining, "He cames to get the sacrifices! And is sooo happy now!" Like Pickles, Toki was a bit bummed that Cthulhoo hadn't hung around long enough for them to go say hi, but Shoggy 18 was already going on about how "We gots to call him agains soon! He can pal arounds with us and you cans meet him!" It didn't seem to occur to them that introducing Dethklok to their god might get their adopted family eaten.
Once Pickles had gone splashing into the lake, Toki was ready to follow suit. Swimming with his suit on would have been ridiculous, so he clumsily scrambled out of the now-ruined garment, as well as everything else he'd been wearing, except his socks, which slipped his mind. Not only had the alcohol removed any inhibitions about submerging himself in a Scottish mountain lake in early spring, it had also removed any regarding nudity. The Shoggies were at least occupied enough by going on about Cthulhoo that they didn't make any embarrassing comments regarding his 'tentacle'. He plunged into the lake after Skwisgaar, getting himself mostly submerged quickly as possible- it was getting in cold water that sucked. It wasn't so bad once already in it, especially while pleasantly inebriated.

Date: 2010-04-16 09:40 pm (UTC)It would have surprised Nathan to find out any of his bandmates weren't aware of what was going on between him and Ofdensen. They weren't usually quite as open about their relationship as Toki and Skwisgaar were about theirs, but they hadn't really gone out of their way to keep it a secret from the rest of Dethklok, either—just from the media, since Nathan really, really did not ever want anything like that NateBecca bullshit to happen again, and he dreaded thinking it might become necessary to hire some woman to pose as his girlfriend or something. They all had to keep up appearances, he knew. Mostly gay death metal bands just weren't really marketable, with a few rare exceptions.
Of course, if they came out of the closet it might well make their fans embrace gayness and the world's overpopulation problem would be solved overnight. Too bad solving problems wasn't metal.
Nathan sighed and looked put out when Ofdensen shot him down. "You work too damn much. Drink more," he said, handing Ofdensen several more unopened beers with a hopeful expression. "Yeah, that was pretty brutal," he said to the Shoggies when they returned. "Like a... lake troll. On steroids. I think I've heard of that guy before. Uh, before we even came here, I mean." And pity the being who ever does try to eat Dethklok. What with their mysteriously unstoppable destructive force,
and his mun is sticking with the now mostly canon theory that none of them are actually human anyway,it might lead to an apocalypse of indigestion and dysentery that not even immortality could help with.Pickles shriek-yelped loudly when he first hit the water, but was quickly back to whooping and making an ass of himself, splashing around noisily in the shallower water. "Heeey guys!" he called to Toki and Skwisgaar, and somehow managed to trip and faceplant in the water when he attempted to follow Skwisgaar. He sputtered and coughed as he picked himself up, then just kept whooping as he ran back to the shore.
"Come aaaahn, doods! Party in the lake!" Pickles grabbed Nathan and Ofdensen and tried to haul them both to their feet. Nathan only reluctantly got up, and took a few beers with him as he let Pickles usher him down to the lake, the two house-elves with lanterns dutifully following along to light their way; they remained on the shore. Nathan kept his clothes on as he waded out, not quite sure what they were all doing, but drunk enough to enjoy it regardless.
"Huh. Skwisgaar's fast," Nathan noted, watching the Swede swim.
Pickles elbowed him and laughed, not even making an effort to lower his voice as he said, "They're probably gonna have shark sex, dood. Don't watch. Theat's gay."
"Don't you... you know, wonder what he has?" Nathan asked, referring to the spiky dicks they'd all discussed at length
bad pun totally intended.Pickles cupped his mouth with his hands and shouted: "Nate wants to watch you guys fuck!"
Nathan scowled and smacked Pickles in the shoulder before pointedly turning his back on the Scandinavians and wading farther away from them. If they were all going to hang out in the water, they should use the Dethtub instead, he thought. Well, those who weren't going to have shark sex anyway.

Date: 2010-04-16 09:58 pm (UTC)Personally, the mun thinks something would happen like that episode of Billy and Mandy where the evil meteor ate Mandy's brain, only for Mandy to take over his body.Ofdensen had already considered that contingency. There were female Klokateers that could do the job well if asked to. Though to cover bases, he would probably ask one of the lesbian Klokateers. But ultimately, that would be Nathan's choice to do that.
"He's probably a student as well." Hell, they've got everything else here.
As the others got into the lake, Ofdensen thought about that, then took off his jacket. He was still a bit hesitant about going shirtless. The scar on his face was pretty cool, but he didn't want to remind
himselfthem of the one on his shoulder from the arrow.Ofdensen followed them out to the lake, shivering slightly at the cold. He glowered at Pickles's crack about Nathan watching Skiwsgaar and Toki, then hugged him from behind. "Respect their privacy guys. They probably don't want you to watch."

Date: 2010-04-17 01:47 am (UTC)Skwisgaar was surprised to see all of them coming into the lake now, and rather than being annoyed by potentially having an audience for whatever he might do with Toki, he was actually secretly pleased. It made him feel less alone in his new body, which, in an odd way, reminded him of the whole trip to Sweden clusterfuck. He'd felt alone then, too.
Staying underwater, he effortlessly swam between them, circling a few times just to show off his speed. The main sail-like dorsal fin on his back was fully raised, making him appear much bigger than he actually was, and noticeably increased his manoeuvrability. When Pickles announced that Nathan wanted to watch them fuck, he circled back near them and attempted to lobtail to splash them all, but his caudal fin was similar to that of a tiger shark, and so wasn't really designed for it. He swam up and thrashed through the surface water instead, which was more effective at causing a lot of splashing.
"At least yous broughts me a beer," he said as he nimbly took one from Nathan before swimming back to where Toki was, whom he then took by the hand and pulled out into deeper water. Despite their length, his claws actually made it easier to open cans now, and he handed it off to Toki after drinking about half, then disappeared beneath the water. Being in the lake afforded him much more freedom of movement, and he took advantage of this by slowly circling Toki and rubbing against him in a head-to-tail direction, remembering Toki had said that his skin was only scratchy in the other direction. He did have an urge to bite Toki, in a way that had nothing to do with being hungry, but it was easily ignored.
A mountain lake obviously wasn't the best place for Toki to have sex in, but Skwisgaar's own anatomy didn't seem to mind the temperature. The vertical slit was normally almost invisible on his underside, but in his current state it was made conspicuous by his cock hanging out of it. It was thicker than a human's at the base, and gradually tapered down to a head that was at least somewhat familiar looking, though the entire organ was several inches longer than what Skwisgaar was accustomed to dealing with, and didn't look to be wholly compatible with human anatomy -- proportioned for creatures larger or perhaps longer than humans. It was a lighter mottled blue-grey than the rest of him, the texture of the flesh very silken and smooth, even more so than his human cock had been with its foreskin to protect it from the effects of keratinisation. His testes were now internal, so weren't visible, and the claspers that normally lay flat against his abdomen were bent forward slightly at the moment.
His new cock was also, he discovered, a little prehensile; he watched with amusement as it curved around Toki's leg seemingly of its own accord. He swam up to the surface, enjoying how Toki's skin felt against his cock as it slid up Toki's leg. "I thinks it likes you," he said as he experimentally flexed muscles he was still getting acquainted with, causing his bizarre cock to release Toki and withdraw back into his body slightly.
This was going to take some getting used to.

Date: 2010-04-18 12:25 am (UTC)Toki was one of those sorts who wouldn't have figured out Nathan and Ofdensen's relationship on his own, even if they'd been blatantly making out in front of them. He'd have guessed that they were doing it as a joke, or, were just very, very drunk. Had Nathan haired a fake girlfriend, he probably would have believed her his real one, and was likely to remain as oblivious as the Shoggies until bluntly told.
He was tossing the few remaining articles of his clothing (aside from his socks) onto the mud near the campfire when he saw Pickles attempting to haul Nathan and Ofdensen into the water. Which effectively ended any mild concerns about the potential temperature of the water, for Toki would never let it be said that a Scandinavian wussed out about temperature before an American. It was also this thought that caused him to realize that their worries, which prompted his own, were almost certainly exaggerated. And of course, since everyone was going into the lake, the Shoggies followed suit, and were soon floating around the lake and looking for more mer-people bits to eat.
Toki laughed as Skwisgaar tried to splash Nathan and the rest- he was pretty sure that Pickles was lying about Nathan actually wanting to watch them fuck. And thankfully, it was dark, and the lake was dark, so it would have actually taken some effort for them to get anything approaching a decent show. Toki gladly swam out into the deeper water with Skwisgaar, quite unsure why anyone thought him too drunk to swim. He wasn't too drunk to walk, and, swimming was merely another mode of perambulation.
At least, the mun thinks Toki would be a pretty good swimmer, being in awesome shape and all.He finished off most of the half-beer as Skwisgaar dived under, while he remained treading water in one place- luckily, he'd been prepared for a large, fish-like body to rub against him, and so wasn't startled when he felt Skwisgaar circling him.He was, however, quite startled by the feel of something snaking around his leg- it didn't feel like any part of Skwisgaar he was familiar with, and, not like any he'd seen, either. He looked down through the dark water, trying to see exactly what he was doing, as Skwisgaar surfaced- from his positioning then, it was quite easy for him to deduce exactly what bit of Skwisgaar had now become curiously long and prehensile. "Wow-wee, does all sharks have cocks likes that? It really is likes the tentacle now," he remarked. The Shoggies were otherwise occupied, for had they overheard, they might have come to examine Skwisgaar's improved tentacle more closely. He finished off the remainder of the beer, tossing aside the beer can aside to free up his hand, which he held onto Skwisgaar with as he slid his other hand down his stomach and a bit lower, seeking a more interactive exploration of Skwisgaar's fascinating new anatomy. It never entered into Toki's head that there might be something a little 'wrong' with this- he wasn't thinking of them as 'fish' parts, but rather as Skwisgaar's. "I bet there's lots of fun stuffs to do withs that," Toki told him as his hand found his strange new cock. He wrapped his fingers about it, sliding them down slowly to meet the thick base, and then he let his fingers wander over his claspers. "Does you have three ofs them now?" As for his own parts, they were a bit slow to respond, merely due to the temperature- he had no desire to leave the lake yet, but, did look forward to the benefit of a somewhat warmer, and thus more anatomically friendly Skwisquarium.

Date: 2010-04-18 02:38 am (UTC)Nathan couldn't react in time to even try to make a grab for his stolen beer before Skwisgaar was out of reach—between the coldness of the lake slowing him down and Skwisgaar's speed, he didn't stand a chance. Eh, it was just beer. He'd get more later. When Ofdensen hugged him from behind he turned around to return the embrace, noticed Ofdensen had also remained dressed, but didn't comment on it.
Despite claiming it was gay to watch, Pickles was the one watching Toki and Skwisgaar swim out to deeper waters. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but it wasn't difficult to guess at what they were doing when Toki reached one hand into the water between his body and Skwisgaar's. It was too dark to make out much else, but it didn't prevent Pickles from crowing at the top of his lungs, "Oooh they're gettin' it ahn!"
Yeah, definitely time to go, Nathan thought. He simply abandoned the rest of his beer cans and lifted Ofdensen up, an arm behind his knees and the other supporting his shoulders, then waded back to the shore. Since they were both still dressed, he didn't bother setting Ofdensen down and just headed back toward the school, one of the house-elves with a lantern having to run to keep pace with his strides.
"Where ya gooooin'?" Pickles called after them, and ambled out of the lake to follow. The second house-elf with a lantern stayed on the shore, however, presumably waiting for Toki and Skwisgaar.
"Dethtub," Nathan yelled back. Realising Ofdensen was missing one article of clothing, and knowing Pickles would probably forget to get dressed himself, he told Pickles, "Get your clothes. And Charles's jacket."
The only difference between the two suit jackets Pickles could see was that one was mostly wet and the other wasn't, so he made his best guess and grabbed the dry one, his own clothes, and a few extra junk food kebabs for the road. Turning back to the lake, he shouted, "Doods! When yer done makin' shark babies come to the Dethtub!" It obviously didn't occur to him that Skwisgaar couldn't walk there and Toki couldn't carry him. Hey, the Shoggies could probably help. With another whoop Pickles took off after Nathan and Ofdensen, just going naked.
((Jasper won't show up until they're back on shore or one of you poke me, whichever happens first.))

Date: 2010-04-18 02:53 am (UTC)"If you need help getting Skiwsgaar to the Dethtub, owl me or get the Shoggies to help!" He yelled over Nathan's shoulder to the Scandinavians.
And then he facepalmed. "Pickles, cover your lower half at least!"
[[Soooooo....are we out? Nate/Ofdensen/Pickles I mean?]]
