Let's...get...Lovecraftian!

[FalloutJack]

Alright, I'm not sure everyone here knows the Lovecraft Mythos or at what depth, so I'll explain this first. The Dimensional Shambler is a ghoulish creature that can flit in from other dimensions and out again without effort. They are strong and generally vicious, known for abducting victims from a place and taking them...god knows where.

The Scenario!

A Dimensional Shambler has grabbed you and pulled you through to another dimension. WHERE ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

Isn't the point of being taken to another dimension mean that I a) can't imagine what strange and weird likeness this new dimension has taken and/or b) that an extremely powerful creature has abducted me, and unless they were just giving me a free taxi ride, they had some sort of plan? Usually involving sacrifice, as the mythos usually entail?

To be perfectly honest, nobody knows what happens to the people after that. My thinking is that if they don't eat the victims, they just move 'em around for kicks. (Nightgaunts do the same thing, actually.) Still, yes, that is the POINT, but I just want to have FUN with it.

I would be pulled into the brownie and ice cream dimension and I would eat ice cream covered brownies all day until I died of an aneurysm.

Hmm, I guess you do have a point. But then again, I'm reminded of a torturous example of habitats in middle school, where they said 'TAKE A POLAR BEAR AND PUT HIM IN DESERT AND HE DIE DEAD' and I honestly think it'll go something like that. Being in a new and complex dimension, even if it had similars laws of gravity, oxygen, food, etc, i doubt simply the fact that a bloody tentacle god thing just grabbed me and threw me through something back to the future style, I think i can only narrow it down to two results:

Die of shock or go batshit insane.

Sorry, but I really can't get past it

Well, going insane WOULD be par for the course.

you lost me at flit, but ill try.
Gotham city or the Kanto region

Flit, as in quickly move about. In this case, the Shambler walks in and out of different dimensions like you would walk across an open field.

What's this? I'm on the Planet Gallifrey. Oh my! It seems that dimensional switch has turned me into a Time Lord!

Best.Abduction.EVAR!

 

[icame]

I hate Lovecraft. He was a racist prick, ontop of a horrible writer.

OT:I am in a world full of cookies and it is wonderful. I will now proceed to eat zed cookies until I 'esplode

I would laugh if this was how the Doctor got started.

 

[GaryH]

I immediately turn my playing piece on it's side and cannot move until my next turn, whereupon I'll probably be driven mad, devoured or both.

What...? I got into Arkham Horror recently!

 

[Radeonx]

I am in the world of bacon and beer.
I proceed to eat the environment and all of the denizens, because they are made of bacon.
I then take a drink from the beer river.

You know, with the way the continuity of that show get's messed with sometimes, I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility.

 

[Twad]

I get turned into tick orange goo, wich happen to taste of orange and is very, very sweet. Sold at every McDonalds near you.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Firstly, getting sent to a new dimension makes little sense. Length, height, width, time...what?

Secondly, if you could somehow go somewhere where the constants where even slightly different from here, you cease to function in all sorts of weird ways more or less instantly.

Well, the fun thing about a time traveling show is basically... "Continuity? We don't need one of those! We're messing with TIME!"

Oh, don't use logic here. Lovecraft didn't.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Oh, don't use logic here. Lovecraft didn't.

Well, sort of he did, he flat out said that what was going on was incomprehensible, the human mind wasn't equipped to deal with it. Presumably it all made perfect sense, just not to mere humans.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Where am I? NO clue.

What do I do? Curl up and freak out for five minutes, then do some deep breathing and accept that I have just been sucked into a new dimension. Then, I focus on learning the new rules of that world, and figuring out how to get home.

Go insane? PFFT. My imagination is wild. I can distort my perception of reality in order to accept bizzare crap, as long as I can experience it.

Yes, but by contrast I am doing this to be silly.
