Hey guys. Welcome back. Just a quick follow on the woods situation, from last month. Rosy and I went to talk to Mr. Merrill. He told us that the sparks in the forest were a MACUSA training exercise, and that the moose that people thought they saw was, in fact, a moose. Like an actual one. Not [...] vaguely incorporeal or as old as time. It was killed after being stunned. The two Moosemen Forest Entities should be alive and doing fine, although apparently no one's seen or heard from them since then. They told MACUSA not to hunt, so that's who they're probably angry with now.

What that means for us [...] it sounds like probably nothing. I don't have to say everyone should be on guard anyway, especially in the forest.

I kinda want to follow this with a really routine announcement like, "And with the influx of new student authority into the sauna, try to make sure everyone's keeping it clean," so there, have that.

Here's to another safe semester.

What should we do if our classmates ask about it?

Student Authority

[ferdie]

I wouldn't be [...] entirely specific where it's not needed.
It was verified MACUSA. Everyone's fine.

Student Authority

"MACUSA training exercise" is most definitely too much information. A vagueness that borders on enticing in its possibilities.

And if it is the truth, I wouldn't put it past anyone in our class to not try sneaking out to see, and accidentally get hexed six ways to Sunday.

Thanks, Ferdie.

Look, I don't get out to see many films, but I've seen enough films to know that that is some kinda bullshit story. [...] I don't like that Brother and Anon "haven't been seen since." I really don't like it. And I'm willing to bet that others won't either. So, let's make sure our reassurances sound the same, so no one panics.

Head Kids

[ferdie]

No, I know.

We [...] I mean what other choice do we have but to just follow the story?
That's not very reassuring.

Head Kids

[heyitsnia]

Ugh, yeah. I just hate feeling like a shill, especially over something like this. [...] God, what if the junior start using spirit boards again What if someone gets lost in the [...] Just stick to the story, for now, I guess.

Hey [...] Congrats on the DADA position.

Thanks.

You don't actually buy thi Odd time to ward me about it. Was there something else?

Student Authority

Sorry
Thank you.

For the love of God everyone, keep the sauna clean and don't fu.

Student Authority

[ferdie]

Cleanliness is next to godliness and also steam breeds bacteria.

[Rosy]
[...] Do you believe him? Mr. Merrill.

Ferdie

[browbeats]

I mean [...] I'm the cynic, and "trust the adults" has never been my go-to, but we went to Mr. Merrill because he seemed like the teacher least likely to lie just to placate us. I think if he thought there was danger in the woods, he wouldn't give us the wink and nudge go ahead to keep partying there.

I'm not convinced the MACUSA is being even close to forthright with him, though.

What's your read on the situation?

Student Authority

[cygninae]

[...] Yeah ok. Thanks for checking it out.

Student Authority

[ferdie]

Yeah. Of course.

Just [...] hope they stick to indoor training now.

Anon missed last month. Next new moon's on the 14th, so we'll see then, I guess.

Only time I'm looking forward to it.

Student Authority

Do you know

[colitaderana]

Killing a moose was definitely necessary after stunning it???

are we reporting them for animal cruelty or because that's just

Thanks for the update. I'm sure everyone will do their best to keep all the students safe.

Student Authority

[ferdie]

I’m [...] sure they would’ve avoided that if they could.
You’re all really good at that already. Thank you.

Student Authority

If they'd been taking proper precautions, they wouldn't have had to Why would they be training in a place where They can't keep I don't like the If they'd been taking proper precautions, they wouldn't have had to kill a moose.

It sounds like it was [...] an accident. An agent panicked.

I'm sorry to make you even think about this, but.

This would've had to be [...] a lot of stunners. Wouldn't it?
