Why this must be read:

*How* to explain this one?

This story almost feels like canon--if canon had been on late-night TV rather than created as a children’s show. Meaning that there is a ridiculous monster plot, much banter, rambling asides, and pop culture references--all involving much more adult versions of Tommy and Merton:

-Merton! There's a Lovecraftian God in the dorm bathroom!"

"I know this looks bad Tommy, but we ca- You knew it was an Elder God? I had to cross-reference with my pocket edition of 'Dictionaire L'Infernale..."

-The Goth points to a torn flap of black denim clinging half-heartedly to the side of his jeans.

"... Which, between you and me, has no business being called a 'pocket edition'. But this is great, Tommy! You've developed a working knowledge of Lovecraft! All those hours of... research in the Lair paid off; you've read your first Occult book!"

The werewolf frowns. "- Occult book? I thought it was some kinda Gay Sex Guide."

"S... Sex manual?" Merton's eyes pop out in independent directions and he turns a colour that, whilst interesting, is not really associated with those outside of the reptile community.

This story is, in short, *fun.*
