[There's a little bit of panting before Fred starts to speak. Throughout, he's breathing heavily, as though he's posting while jogging.]

What was-

[No, wait, that's a bad way to start when you're a) alone, b) reacting to something in the real world, and c) not on video. Try again.]

I just saw something, I dunno what. It looked kind of like a little hairy man. Really hairy. Gave me one of those pulse feelings when I saw it, and then it ran away. Any of you seen it or have any idea what it is?

Are you sure you aren't seeing things?

Of course, then I remember what's been happening lately.

voice

[seriallylucky]

Pretty sure, yeah. No history of it. Plus I almost tripped on some trash it knocked over.

voice

[reckless_fire]

Wasn't one of those wolf-things, was it? Huh...They weren't all that little, though.

voice

[seriallylucky]

The werewolves? I never saw any of those, but this was definitely on two legs. And little, yeah. The size of a kid or a midget.

voice

[reckless_fire]

Okay, yeah, not one of those, then. Where'd you see it at?

voice

[seriallylucky]

An alley behind the Radio Shack on Williams. Thought it might be headed for the park up the street, but... I don't see it any more.

voice

[reckless_fire]

Weird. Did it do anything beside run? Like, I dunno, try to attack you or something?

voice

[seriallylucky]

No, it just... it raised its head, I guess to look at me but I didn't see any kind of face, and then it ran off.

voice

[reckless_fire]

Whoa. Never saw nothing like that, man. Never heard about anything like it either. Sounds like this might be something new.

voice

[seriallylucky]

Does that mean we can name it after me? Or is that just diseases and dinosaurs?

[Someone doesn't remember his dinosaur phase very well, it seems.]

voice

[reckless_fire]

[Laughs a little at that]

Sure, why not? Knock yourself out, man.

[Like Kenji has any idea where the names for either come from.]

A little hairy man...

... A leprechaun?

audio

[seriallylucky]

A lep-

...uh, no. More like a little Bigfoot.

voice

[seriallylucky]

Maybe not, on second thought. "Vandenberger"'s probably a bit of a mouthful.

voice

[reckless_fire]

Ehh...there's probably worse out there. Seems like those scientist types always have names about three blocks long. Vandenberger's pretty pronounceable compared to some of those.

[angelskills]

Oh, wow! I haven't seen anything like that.

voice

[seriallylucky]

Yeah, I guess.
