Guess I gotta deal with this mess

Altizica waited patiently, sipping his tea at the living room table. He had invited his ‘friend’ Ecta to his house, properly this time, to chat about her current situation. Ecta would definitely not be satisfied without gaining all the information lost from the planets Altizica had devoured millennia ago. Altizica thought long and hard about what he was going to do about the situation and had finally thought of a way that both parties could benefit from it. Now all he had to do was wait for his dear friend to arrive.

Knocking three times at the door, Ecta waited patiently for Altizica to answer the door. She had been informed that this was the proper Earth ritual when calling upon people. Though it made little sense to her. If Altizica was home, or not home, wouldn't it be more reasonable for her to float on it and see for herself instead of disturbing others or waiting endlessly for them to return from wherever they had gone?

Once the Alt heard the knock coming from the door, he rushed over and swung it open. “Ecta, looking lovely as ever, please come and sit down. We have much to discuss.” Alt gestured over to the large couch and table in the living room, moving over to it. Altizica took a seat down and took a sip from his tea cup for a second. “Would you like anything to eat or drink Ecta? Or would you prefer to get right to business.” Alt had known ahead of time what Ecta would want, but he’d like to give her at least the idea of a choice. “Actually I must ask how long you intend to stay on earth. This is a rather important thing for me to know and will affect my future plans.”

"Lovely?" Ecta remarked as she followed along behind Altizica into the house, floating just above the floor as she moved. "Lovely is the is H I Region or the Ghost Nebula, and I am neither," she said as she took a seat on the couch next to Alt, nor aware that social etiquette would normally require her to sit at a respectable distance from him.

"Well, I had hoped to be back before ..." here she named an Eldritch celebration that was, in Earth time, a few centuries in the future. Something Ecta was not aware of or actually cared about since time in her world ran differently. "however, that really depends on you and how cooperative you are in returning what was taken from me," she stated quite matter-of-factly as she peered at Alt calmly, her hair floating above her in very natural yet unnatural way.

Altizica couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Ecta. “It was supposed to be a compliment. Something humans do when they greet one another. Just forget it.” Alt didn’t try to tell Ecta to scoot over, quite honestly not caring enough to take action.

“Really? Your going to that? I thought you weren’t the partying type. I would go but I’m banned after...the incident.” Alt would not name what happened, he knew Ecta already understood what he meant. Without any other words Alt ripped off one of his arms and placed it on the table, his stump quickly growing back into another arm.

"I see," Ecta remarked in slight, but thoughtful, confusion when Alt said it was a compliment. "Humans are strange creatures," she said after a moment, not quite understanding why they would ever want to compare themselves to nebulas.

"Once in a dying sun, I like to party. I am a very good dancer if you must know, and this time, it is rumoured they are bringing in the dancing Shoggoth from the outer realm, " Ecta explained, a small glint of excitement briefly lighting up her gaze.

"Are you hungry, Altizica?" Ecta asked curiously when he tore off his arm, seeing no other good reason than that for such a behaviour. Unless he meant it as a gift for her, which was odd since they were not close, though she'd accept gladly. The gesture of such an act not being lost on her if it was.

Alt laughed a little “Well to everyone else we are the strange ones. Heh, matter of view point dear Ecta.”

Alt’s eyes widened a little in surprise “Really? You? A dancer? I would have never guessed. Would be interesting to watch you dance then. Sure it’s just wonderful.” Alt said, only to laugh right afterwards. He could barely take himself serious.

“No I’m not dumb, eating myself would just put me back at square one. You said you wished to eat me for knowledge yes? Go ahead and take it. However for as long as you are here on Earth you will need to know customs. I suppose I’ll be the one to teach you as Selky surely won’t deal with this type of shit.”

"Ohh," Ecta exclaimed as she looked at the arm on the table incredulously and with a real sense delight. She had not expected Altizica to be so accommodating. "Thank you," she told him as she eyed the limb again, a gleam of real eagerness passing across her delicate features as she took a hold of the limb and rapidly consumed it.

The act of eating Altizica's limb, almost immediately made Ecta sigh happily as it filled her with a part of the lost knowledge that she had so fervently wished to acquire. Taking a good moment afterwards to allow the knowledge to find its way to where it belonged, Ecta relaxed and let out a little happy sound.

"Selky?" Ecta repeated as she looked at Alt.. "Who or what is a "Selky"?" she asked. "Is that the image capturing device I hear people talking about everywhere I go, lately?"

Altizica watched as Ecta ate his arm intently. He was curious as to what Ecta thought of his arm. Did it taste good? Was it icky? He had never actually tried eating his own flesh, and for some reason he was getting the idea to try it now. “Do you feel different Ecta? I thought a type of peace offering was in order.” Altizica kept his gaze on Ecta, lightly sipping his tea.

“Selky...or as his actual name is Selkiris. He is...tell me do you know the story of the Fall of the Index?” The Index’s fall was a famous story, he was sure Ecta knew it of it. It told the story of a human who somehow defied death and killed an Outer God known as the Index. It was often told as a cautionary tale to Eldritch, stating even a mere human could take down an Outer God if they had enough willpower to do so.

"The Fall of the Index," Ecta stated as she politely wiped her lips as she finished eating Altizica's limb. "Yes, I remember vaguely reading about it," she nodded, curious as to why he'd be referencing that urban myth in particular.

"What about it?" she asked Altizica as her attention was now partly on the vast knowledge she had just consumed and was mentally revising.
