Turns out maintaining that weird style I went for is really super hard. My apologies for the delay. ...also, 'Nyarlathotep' is a stupid long and annoying name to type

Philemon scratches at one of the tentacles encircling his legs, like scratching a cat. A cat with no fur and a curiously plastic skin, but Nyarlathotep purrs against him anyway. He scratches higher, shifting from smooth quasi-flesh to cotton over a simulacrum of human flesh that twitches under his hand. It's quiet, slow and comfortable, and Philemon is surprised Nyarlathotep has not exploded into fury at the idea of quiet comfort. He brushes up along the god's back, then around again in circles and Nyarlathotep has finished licking up all the alcohol but somehow has not moved on to biting. Instead he murmurs soft words, barely at the edge of hearing, half in Philemon's ear and half to himself. "And they lie to themselves about it, leaving behind all they have known even as they complain about the change...they want it, really, they want the glamour and alienation and lies for themselves. Because no humans can really stand each other. Sooner or later, they all fall apart. Not that you ever notice
