Title: Stand-Up Comedy
Fandom: Cthulhu Saves the World
Rating: G/Gen
Notes: mild mind-destroying cosmic horror, randomly rolled fandom
summary: Jokes don't translate well from R'lyehian.


"I think I need to work on my stand-up comedy routine," Cthulhu frowned.

"I'd say," Umi looked over at the last of tavern patrons who were now running out of the door, screaming gibberish and frothing green slime from the mouth. Some of them now had tentacles.

"Everyone laughs at that joke in R'lyeh. I guess it doesn't translate well."

"I thought it was funny," said Paws.

"You did? I didn't think it translated into Ultharian either!"

"It doesn't, but it was funny when everyone went insane."

"Oh well. Sometimes they become cultists when they do that," said Cthulhu hopefully.

LAUGHS. Not a take on the prompt I would have expected, nice twist.
