"..and with strange eons, even death may open a bank account".

Slowly slowly they all realised how convenient and - let's admit it - much more entertaining this was. As usual, Nyarlatothep was the one opening the dances. The smartass, after all, has always been the first of the class; not for nothing, he's the messenger of them all. Cthulhu, in the beginning, was a bit hesitating. Sleepy as he usually is, he wasn't really attracted by this world made of strange jargon and rules. Between the breaks from a nap and the other, Mr. Squidface could have been a bit more brutal than his know-it-all fellow, but never make the huge mistake to underestimate him. As a matter of fact, he soon understood that behind all those financial rules, the true chaos and madness was waiting for being gifted to humanity. The rest of the story, as they say, ça va sans dire: first or after, all the Gods understood that playing with these financial rituals and games could be so much fun. An incredible toy, way better than taking humanity to destruction through the traditional way of directly spreading chaos, horror and madness. In a way, it was a bit like passing from eating a burger to tasting a delicious and juicy fillet. Hastur, Tsathoggua and even Azatoth, over there at the nucleus of the cosmos: they all started to play one after the other with bonds, shares, swaps, futures, tax dodging schemes and any other product that - usually through the twisted mind of Nyarlatothep - could come handy to them. Only Yog-Sothoth, all alone and self-relegated in one of its dimensions, was still bubbling like an idiot and entertaining itself with its worshippers, the portrait of a kid playing with his favourite marbles.

Ahh truth in fiction....good job. Love the drawing.

Thank you my friend :-) I draw when I can't find any decent picture in my album hehe

Always a good option ;)

A couple of old friends of the rpg industry, Leo & Curte, wrote a game called Alba di Cthulhu, which setting is the emerged city of R'lyeh, quite similar to the 1930's New York.
President Cthulhu rules a chaotic, multi-species, and multi-geometrics metropolis in which Players Characters are hard boiled detectives, and deal with things like clandestine boxe with the Mi-Gos or drunk Dagonian informers...
Maybe you can suggest a scenario for this game ;)

We definitely need to play to this game damn! Yes an add on would do.. R'lyeh must have a wall street somewhere ;-)

Wow. You got some depth in that frewrite. So many characters appeared to paint vivid mind pictures.

Thank you a lot @dmcamera.. behind the joke there was a very much felt topic, maybe that's why :-)

I could tell. :-)

Love your drawing and how you bring your concern (pissed offness) into this. thank you for all you do to build community here! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-26-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-a-shoe

Thank you Marianne! Yes you got the point heheh

I was at the nucleus of the cosmos once, or was it the middle of nowhere? I can't remember now so I guess I could have been dreaming, but then, if I was dreaming who was that squid that gave me directions back to earth? 🤔

Cthulhu ftaghn! :-P (H.P. Lovecraft rules!)

Financial fraud and convoluted shenanigans have become the favored toys of monsters. Great post with a true point @f3nix! This made me think of your "Heist" post. (Which is good because I went back to check something and realized that I hadn't voted on it, sorry.)

Thank you my friend! I really appreciate your referring to my other post as they are quite connected one with the other..i think it will work more in a novel or in a more "light" way..probably my previous heavy-like-a-plutonium-bar articles could enjoy some less serious style, without loosing effectiveness..i need to think about it ..
