Yeah, but they'd have wings and beaks and sqwak and stuff.
"What do you mean 'it's not a parrot'? So what if it's full of tentacles? It has a beak, doesn't it?"
"Hey Xan, is this parrot supposed to whisper eldritch phrases in my ear?"
Yeah sure just remember no refunds.

Ooh, intriguing!

Well, I won't seduce anyone - after all, I'm still with you. Hmm. Best be forthright then.

Continue going around asking if people are virgins. Explain that I need their blood.

I've evilly cackled while reading books.

Short stories yes indeed. Nyarlathotep was actually pretty grabbing.

Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath was long as hell but really goddamn intriguing and fun to read. Though I'll admit that his prose is practically the incarnation of purple.

Seriously though, I can't read 30 words of Gatsby without falling asleep.
This makes me rage. Verbose writing styles aren't all purple prose, dammit! Some of us enjoy extravagant and complex sentences.

I swear, some days I just want to punch Ernest Hemingway right in the mustache.
Not all of it, I'll give you that, but some passages, man. Some passages. Especially when he tries to write people talking. 
It's mostly the Dreamlands, now that I think about it, which kinda fits.

I found the Great Gatsby to be a book pretending to be stimulating while it lounged around boozing, just like it's characters.
This should A. Confuse you. B. Cheer you up.
Ah, Great Gatsby. Best cure for insomnia I ever found, next to Handmaid's Tale and Chronicle of a Death Foretold.

Far as I can tell the only way he'd absorb the ghost would be by learning magic, but learning magic by far. TorZon's the type of entity that would exploit magic to exponentially replicate itself and stuff like that.

Listen to polka music while the timelines synch.
