I thought to bring this up since I am just now going back to see my homeboy Lantis later on today to continue my trek through Resident Evil VIII, which I haven't picked back up since bringing up all this stuff about the lady vampires I was fighting here a month ago.
Surely you weren’t overcome by creatures of the night given your bravery and gallantry. Perhaps your cosmic twin is writing in your stead.
Bella, she got me!
Last night while continuing RE8, I mean.
My "bravery and gallantry" was in fact overcome .... Although strangely, not by Lady Dimitri.
She was not the problem. I actually won against her on the first try when we had our final confrontation. She was surprisingly easy to handle despite turning into a giant flying monster and chasing me all around the rooftop of her gothic-looking castle. .... But this knight dare not gloat in his victory thanks to what happened next ....
It was the next boss of the game to come after her that got me. I can't remember the name; she was some hooded woman who had a doll she carried named Angie (I think?) do all the talking for her. It turns out Lady Dimitri was merely the first of four "lords" who held dominion over this insane haunted village that serves as the game's primary setting, and I have to fight through all of them to win my freedom. The next one up was this crazy doll woman, and while her stage of the game was short .... this was easily the most legitly terrified I had ever been playing through a Resident Evil game in my entire life ... and there are many Resident Evil titles out there. O_O
I'm all sneaking through the Doll Woman's house, trying to find a key item and leave without incident. Her voice comes from nowhere while I'm in the basement area, taunting me, the lights go out, and I am suddenly left without weapons. I solve a few puzzles around this area to win my way back outside to freedom, and on my way back to the elevator to restore it's power and go back up to the first floor, the lights go out ....
AND A GIANT SLUG-CRAWLING MONSTER MAKING ANGRY BABY SOUNDS EMERGES FROM AROUND THE CORNER IN THE DARK, FROM THE DIRECTION OF MY ONLY ESCAPE ROUTE.
I was immediately like
Lantis was in the kitchen several yards away getting a Dr. Pepper or something when this happened. I can only imagine how amused he was to hear a "What THE - !!!!" coming from the den.
Somehow I only froze for a moment and then kicked it into gear (the fight or flight response according to the laws of nature will indeed save a man's life on occasion
), sprinting back down the darkened corridors looking for a place to hide, being all
the entire time.
This giant baby-slug-thing monster has an ironic kind of significance to the story, obviously representing my fears for the baby daughter I am trying to find while escaping the village, somehow. I was running back and forth, trying to find a way around it as it clambered after me with murderous cries, to get back to the escape elevator. And man, if only I could properly describe my horrified reaction this entire time. You would have had to be there. Lantis afterward laughs and comments that he wish he'd had his phone out recording this. It had all the makings of a YouTube video to go viral.
But WHOA. ... I am honestly surprised I didn't have nightmares about this monster in any way when I got back home last night.
I hope you aren't too disappointed in your knight, Miss Bella, that some creature of the night out there had succeeded in breaking him, however temporarily.
(
@angelsaroundme , you indicated in an earlier post that you'd been all the way through RE8 already. Did you remember this part I am speaking of?)
