[John seems to be mildly disturbed as he fumbles with the video, the camera showing him looking a little rough, like he'd been in a fight, before he manages to set it up properly.]

Uh.

Has anyone talked to Hickey lately? Because I think we need to talk about Hickey.

So. He, uh, can turn into a giant creepy bear thing now.

Like. A giant. Polar bear. Thing.

For anybody that's been waking up in Dogtown, which sucks, by the way, you might run into him. I don't know where he is right now but he's completely lost it.

If you see him, stay away from him. He'll prefer to chase you to feed off your fear so try not to engage that instinct.

[Says the guy who is also a Hunt Avatar and fought said bear-beast thing as a cat-beast thing. Don't mind him, he's just putting all the focus on Hickey right now, and if everyone stays away from Hickey they also won't find out that Hickey knows that's he's an Avatar, too.

Also that bear thing is gonna live in his nightmares now, which is fun.]

For anybody that is waking up in weird places, I suggest sleeping with a weapon on your person at all times, just in case.

It does suck.

It sucks a lot.

[Having fun there, Rodney? Enjoying this?]

[energyfieldgood]

[Immensely, thank you.]

I know, right? Like, the worst part is when you're running out of air but it's still coming and it's like you can already feel it breathing down your neck.

Or when you're being bitten and dragged around and end up all scratched and banged up.

[You know, like your mug on the screen. Holy crap, the karma of it all.]

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

Yeah. Yeah it kinda is exactly like that.

[Rodney do you feel his glare. It is burning with the fire of a thousand white-hot suns.]

Seems like something that just happens here to people, doesn’t it?

It would be a real shame if it happened to you again. Cause you know, it could happen at any time. This place is soooooo unpredictable.

[energyfieldgood]

[Oh, it's gonna be like that is it.]

Extremely unpredictable.

[Bristling. Bristling so much.]

All of these random events. Sometimes doors just closing on you and trapping you in places.

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

[It is so gonna be like that.]

Very. Never see it coming.

[What if he bristles just as much.]

Yeah, that's a problem. That happens. But what also happens next is that doors can be unreliable. I mean, they can only withstand so much force. Sometimes they break open. That also just happens sometimes.

[energyfieldgood]

Oh, really. Maybe it's time to reinforce those doors then. Because that sure sounds like a security hazard.

[You wanna go? They can go.]

In fact, I hear steel bars are all the rage. No need to be cagey about it.

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

Understandable. Who would want doors that are a security hazard? I get it.

[It's on, buddy.]

But you see it takes a long time to reinforce such things with steel...and these events can happen at any time! Probably way before any construction could take place. Sometimes these events even know where you live and can get there pretty quickly.
