** C'thiala tries to introduce Alice and Bob to beings she describes as "her co-workers", a group of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s [[CaptainErsatz that calls itself]] [[VideoGame/{{Control}} "The Committee"]] - but predictably, their workplace is nothing but AlienGeometries and [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm incomprhensible ergonomics and aesthetics]], and their attempts to explain what they actually ''do'' are [[WordSaladHumor such a convoluted mess]] of trying to speak a human language [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels without knowing any of the translations]] that Alice and Bob just give up and ask C'thiala to please get them out of there.

** C'thiala is friendly, empathetic and enjoys communicating with humans... but she also doesn't understand their basic needs, limitations, nor why some actions are dangerous and criminal while others are not. [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace So after her new best friends turn puddles of goo]] after unwrapping [[ArtifactOfDeath a present she made for them]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone C'thiala breaks into]] [[TearsOfRemorse remorseful tears]] that [[WalkingDisasterArea destroy all life within a 200 KM radius]].

Added DiffLines:

* '''Played For Horror''': C'thiala is a perfectly friendly, supportive EldritchAbomination, but the people around her have to be very careful, since just being in her presence means exposure to all the threats of the cosmos - the possibility to develop {{Lovecraftian Superpower}}s, or GoMadFromTheRevelation, or have to get involved in a fight with some other eldritch being; all that, and more, is a risk C'thiala's TrueCompanions have to accept.

** C'thiala [[GenreSavvy has enough foresight]] that on arriving to a new unfamiliar universe, she either asks those who visited before her about the laws of physics therein, or personally sees what effect her actions have on this particular world - first in an environment devoid of life, then in an area inhabited by plants and animals, and finally next to an area with local sapients and their technology. Therefore, she is generally aware of what is safe, and what shouldn't be tried without asking the locals to put on some {{Hazmat Suit}}s and hide behind a concrete wall three kilometres away.
