Y'all ever hunt?
[The audio is undercut with the sound of wind and snow crunching underfoot, though Magenta's voice is at its typical terrible volume.]I mean, it's not like I have. Not animals, anyhow--big game huntin' is its own real thing, and I never really got into it. A culture. It's stupid. Hunters turned killers fancy themselves experts, but they spend so much time out in the goddamn woods that it doesn't fuckin' matter. There's no real human element to it. People aren't deer, and you can't work 'em the same way you can work a deer through a couple acres of forest. Hunters are awful at it, but they think they're the greatest. Can't fuckin' stand it.
[He pauses for a moment, before evidently remembering that he actually meant to say something.]--Oh! My point is, though: I'm lookin' for anomalies, and I thought it might be an idea to map where they get seen. Or...someone else can map it. I don't know how to work all of this
technology as well as any of y'all, but I could at least know where to expect. Patterns.
It's somethin' real smart hunters use: they block out big sections of...y'know, wherever they are, the fuckin' forest or whatever, and they mark each place they first see a deer, or a turkey, or what-the-fuck ever. And I get that the anomalies are...random, and all, but maybe there's some rhyme or reason to it! At least somethin' I can look over. Deer collect 'round streams, maybe these weird fucks collect 'round certain houses. I'm tryin' to snag one, but I've had no luck. Last one I saw was back...mm, you know, back when everyone got
poisoned.So I reckon my real question is: what's the last anomaly you've seen, and where? Or if there's somethin' similar to my idea--I sure as hell haven't heard of any. Stay safe 'n warm, unless you're House.
