Runes
Shh!
Be quiet, or they'll hear you. Who? The Runes, of course! Oh no, they see us, quick, run!
...
HAHAHAHAHA
The look on your face! How can you run away from particles, you dingus? Ahahahaha! Stranger, you are a riot of sweet belly laughs. But don't get it twisted like your legs right now. Runes can be dangerous if mishandled. How? Oh, that's a whole thing, we're merely here for the basics. Keep it simple, or brain go melty!
So you know particles? Little things, all that shit? Well, that's what Runes are. Metaphysical particles...or was it shapes? I can't keep track of their baseline gimmicks most of the time. Fuck it, we're untangling this knot, or I'll swear I'm going to hang you with it!
Now with your mortality flashing before you, let me arm you with a knowing metaphor. Picture a tulva, that thing that computes funny felines. Got it? Need more time? Okay.
...
...
...
Got it? Goody. Now, that device you see has a program inside of it. The hardware that contains that program would be the Nuclear Chaos itself. Don't worry about that forever. The software (program) is all you need to worry about, for it is the Mythos itself! The universe you find yourself in right now, Stranger. Woah!
But there is something missing from our perception, Stranger. Look closer, and remember: Programs need a programming language to function. That's what the Runes are. The programming language of the Mythos, le world.
Now you know how important they are, Stranger. Let's meet them!
No, come back here! We're not done.
Crackling Shapes before the eyes of Mankind
Now don't be shy Stranger. I know you can't see them, but straighten up already! What's the point of meeting metaphysical shapes if you're not going to attune yourself to the mindset? Oh right, ahead of the curve yet again. Step back and listen, come closer.
Do you see things out of your eyeballs? Of course you do. Now, observe as I remove them and replace them with special eyes capable of observing the Runes in their rawest form. Can you stop screaming for two damn seconds while I apply eyeballs to your sockets? The bleeding shouldn't kill you. Now behold!
...
...
...
Behold! I said behold, LOOK!
Indeed, it's as if your eyes are digital screens, and the Runes are glitchy cracks in your sight. Each being it's own shape...I don't have a scientific explanation for everything, gosh!
Enough! Cease, and fucking desist. Let's pin down the shapes and actually attune your ears to how they sound. This is not important, I am molesting you with knowledge you have no use for.

...ah. It seems seeing the Runes in their raw every-sense-at-once form gave you a nasty seizure. Is that your tongue on the floor? Stranger, you know those are easy to come by! What am I going to do with you? Nincompoop. That's a word I am applying to you. Have you at least learned what the Runes are?
I'll take that violent, seizure like shaking of your head as a no. Now until next time Stranger. That's right, I am leaving you to think about all the wrongs you've done. Maybe next time, consider other people's feelings before getting all shaky on them.
Hmph!
