eighthphaseSo at the Girl Scout meeting, we were talking about creepy stuff. For some of the others, this meant paranormal videos and whatnot. That stuff doesn't really scare me, though; if only because I'm not particularly interested. There were only a couple of things I could actually mention, because there isn't really much that scares me.
The first was Metroid. Specifically, the very first time I played Metroid Prime. So, I've just gotten home after having bought the game. It's 10:30, but that's okay, I've played games much later than that. Of course I turn off all the lights, because that's just how you play games at night, you know? So I'm sitting there, in the dark, playing Metroid. Okay, so this whole abandoned frigate thing is a little weird. It's very... quiet. And the music is a little bit creepy, but it's Metroid, so that's to be expected. There's nothing to shoot at - well, at least that means nothing's shooting at me, right? So I'm going through, and I'm going through, and... space pirate corpses. Well, they're already dead, that's okay. So I'm scanning them, and they mostly died of... not pleasant causes. But that's okay, I'm Samus, that's totally fine. And then there's this one sitting in the corner, looking just as dead as all the others. Okay, so it's another space pirate corpse.
THEN IT STARTS SHOOTING AT ME no lie I screamed a little. I suck ass at that game, so I'm just glad I haven't gotten to the "O hai there metroids, you're all chillin in glass tubes, that's totes fine with me, I'll just pass through." and then when you have to go back through the room and it's all dark and OMG THE METROIDS ARE ALL FREE and okay, I think I got them all that's coo-OMGOMGOMG IT'S BEHIND ME OMG WHERE IS IT OMG GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF OMG
The second thing was the weeping angels, from Doctor Who. Which... at first I didn't think they were all that creepy. Like in Blink, I didn't think they were that creepy; mostly because I wasn't really thinking about them. Then when they returned in S5, yeah, then they started getting creepy. And then I remembered that one statue at the cemetery we pass by all the time... the weeping angel statue. Yeah, that's not creepy in the slightest. Especially the last time we drove by, when mum was all "Wave to the angel~!" except... there was no angel. Which was like... nnnnngh. And then I just realised - of course it's gone, because all the angels fell through the crack in the universe.
Which, when you think about it, gets really creepy because that means that the whole time it was waiting for people to stop looking at it so that it could eat someone's face off. (Not really. They actually snap your neck.)
But yeah. With that cheery thought, I'm going to work on my Great Gatsby assignment some more. ♥
