The next day Church took to scratching at the doors. A faint barely there thing you had to strain to hear. Sometimes Grif thought he heard other people talking, but he never went to check. He knew they weren't really there. No matter how real their pleading cries and screams might sound.
Day twenty-seven of Sketchtober! Kaikaina and Dexter Grif from RvB as Deep-One Hybrids from H.P Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth!
So by way of explanation: A good while back I was chatting with some friends about the effects HP Lovecraft has had on modern scifi. I brought up Halo as a prime example as it has many direct similarities with some of the creatures in his stories (the flood being a 1 to 1 replication of "flying polyps" from Shadow Out of Time) and since we were also RvB fans we started talking about that too and so here we are!
Why this creature? In the story the Shadow Over Innsmouth the residents of the town harbor an agreement with Deep-Ones, in exchange for endless supplies of fish and gold they will make certain... concessions to the Deep-Ones, which results in hybrid children. They appear normal until one day they begin dreaming of the depths and transform into Deep-Ones themselves. Add in that the first humans to make contact with the Deep-Ones are said to be groups in the Pacific Islands and that a certain (Yellow) member of Blue Team was trapped underwater and didn't drown..?
