hiya fern!
moving back to the city of twin suns, eh? probably for the best, you've been through a lot these past few months. might do you well to stay off the roots for a bit longer too, but knowing you, "a bit longer" probably means a few days maximum
seems like you've been doing better (and finally checking your emails lol), i'm really glad to hear that. frank would've been so proud of you too
take care of yourself ok? and let me know when you arrive, i won't help you unpack but we can chat over lunch!
your friend-zilla,
erik

Fern,
Do not come to West Finford. Something's definitely not right here. I'm not sure what, but until I find out, do not come here.
I'll be fine, just stay in Carcosa and I'll come visit you after I've taken care of things here.
Love ya,
Frank
Hey Fernski,
I know I'm a whole month early, but I just had to tell you! Town hall is planning to throw a celebration for Denny's 10-year anniversary, isn't that exciting? I can't believe it's been 10 years...
The museum is planning to renovate Denny's exhibit too, so it's going to be a bit busier around here soon. Dylan's getting more stressed than usual and Bailey is still driving me up a wall. She reminds me of you, in a good way of course!
I really wish you could make it. Take a break from college and hunting to hang out with your brother why don't ya?
By the way, did you get my postcard? I know you don't really check your inbox, so you'll probably see the postcard before this E-mail, ha! :)
Love ya!
Frank
Hey Fernski!
The museum called back last week and guess what? I got the job! You're now officially talking to the new Museum Administrator. B)
Remember when we used to visit the museum every weekend when we were kids? Now I get to be here everyday, and to top it off, my office is right next to Denny's exhibit!
I meant to send this earlier, but I had my work cut out for me right away. I won't bore you with the administrative details, but I will mention that they also had me revamp the museum website, you should check it out sometime.
Before I forget, they started doing annual memberships with discounts and the like. Use my employee account whenever you plan on purchasing anything, just don't tell anyone!

Love ya!
Frank, Museum Administrator
Hey Fernski!
I got your devilcat photos in the mail today, these are incredible! Who would've thought the city had just as much weirdness as our queer little town? Feel free to send me more when you can!
I would've told you it would be easier to send through E-mail, but I admit it does feel nice to receive something physical from you.
Anyway, Mr. Reyes told me there was an admin job available at the museum. I should give it a shot shouldn't I? I don't mind working in the library, but I definitely wouldn't mind working in the museum, heh.
I hope you're doing alright, Fernski. How's college? Any other hunts lately? I really do miss cryptid hunting, especially when I'm doing it with my sister. :)
I heard there was a forum for this sort of stuff now, you should look into it. What was it called again? Square Root or something like that. Oh, and pet your actual devilcat for me, she'd probably bite me if I tried that myself. >:(
Love ya!
Frank

you can now edit your profile, connect with like-minded strangers, and delve into the state's deepest, filthiest roots.
Hey Fernski!
Well well, look who finally caved and made an E-mail account! I've done you the honors of being your first sender. B)
Now we can keep in touch while you're in Carcosa. Maybe we'll work towards getting you a smartphone next, but it is you so that might be a couple more years down the line, ha!
Love ya!
Frank
possible locations:
peacock park
behind landfill
carcosa nature reserve
- she definitely won't be in the park, too many dogs and squirrels
- landfill is a bit iffy as well, not enough flora, i should probably still check
- the nature reserve is my best bet but it's also restricted... not that it's ever stopped me
- erik says she's attracted by a specific plant, gotta look into that
day 1
- nothing in both locations
day 2
- still nothing, prolly should just update when there's something lol
day 10
- pawprints on the west exit of the reserve
- they're so small and cute lmao
day 13
- groundskeeper said he saw small red "lights" from afar
- more pawprints
- black fur stuck on fence, might be from a normal cat though
day 20
- holy shit i think i saw her, she ran when she heard me
- get quieter shoes and bring camera next time
- she was sniffing a plant? maybe that's what erik was talking about
day 23
- finally got a clear shot, i'm fucking shaking from excitement
day 30
- found out what the plant was from groundskeeper's daughter
- bought the 'laganaphyllis simnovorii' plant from shady guy online, just keeping it in my apartment for now
- where should i lure her?
day 36
- no new sightings
- no more pawprints around the reserve too, maybe she migrated?
day 41
- SHE GOT INTO MY APARMTENT OMYGOD
- i almost dropped my camera omfg i was so scared and happy
- that plant must've been really potent, she knocked it off my vase and dragged it out with her
- she ignored pancake and pancake ignored her
- hunt marked complete for now, i don't wanna bother her
