TWGiles: Humans.
BrayWatch: Subcategory: idiots.
MothAkai: Wow, so specific
There’s a burst of overlapping complaints—wetlands, bear traps, trail cameras, a viral TikTok of a guy “hunting wendigos” with a foam sword. The usual.
Then Calder, the Beast of Bray Road, drops a line that lands badly.
BrayWatch: Maybe we should let them see one of us up close.
BrayWatch: Perhaps seeing one of us would discourage them from returning.
Make that two lines.
TWGiles: Yes, because that has historically gone very well for us.
MothAkai: Yeah, we all saw what happened with the Jersey Devil PR stunt.
I’m ready to add my own eye roll.
Instead, I type:
BigFootBoone [admin]: Not all humans.
And instantly want to punch myself in the face.
The channel goes silent for two full seconds. Which, in Monster Network time, is approximately an hour and a half.
MothAkai: Oh?
MothAkai: EXCUSE ME?
MothAkai: “Not all humans” did you just HUMAN-DEFEND in MY house??
TWGiles: Whoa!
BrayWatch: ADMIN is compromised.
I feel myself blushing all the way to my ears.
BigFootBoone [admin]: I said what I said.
MothAkai: Okay… SASSY
My eye twitches.
BigFootBoone [admin]: Don’t.
MothAkai: Short for SASQWATCH as we’re watching a sasquatch losing his mind over a human.
MothAkai: You’re welcome.
BigFootBoone [admin]: That isn’t even how acronyms work.
MothAkai: Opinion rejected, Sassy.
MothAkai removed by admin.
