Mercutio: Oo. Good point. In fact, now that I think on it, I'm surprised you 
didn't have evil Eskimos in this part; Lovecraft often portrayed the Eskimos 
as being in league with Cthulhu. Of course, that was mainly his blatant 
racism talking.....

You pretty much hit the nail on the head here.

   

And does this mean we get to watch Ritsuko descend into madness even MORE so 
than the others? <cracks knuckles> Funfun. I can probably squeeze some good 
laughs out of THAT......  

Not MORE than the others...

 Biles:  Ecclesiastes, which should be titled, 'The book of depression'.

 
Maya: The entire Bible could reasonably called that.

I'd rather disagree, being Catholic.  At the least, no one could call the
Song of Solomon a book of depression.

 Biles:  The Haunter in the Dark is one of Nylarathotep's 1001 forms.

Mercutio: <blinks> I did not know that. But then, since my knowledge of the 
non-Lovecraft written Mythos stories (which means most of them) is almost 
nonexistent, it shouldn't surprise me.

That's right from The Haunter in the Dark by old Lovecraft himself.
