EMPLOYEE #26
Howzit? Me? Oh, you know, just leading a big old howling bear-cryptid through the Ozarks. No big deal. Pretty much a casual Tuesday. And you know, for a "Mrs." customer, it's surprisingly calm. It hasn't even let out one of its famous death howls around me yet. That could be because I keep chucking fish at it, and it seems to be happy with this arrangement. Though it'll take me about 10… maybe 15 hours to walk non-stop with the Howler from here to the Esterskald portal. That doesn't include potential diversions and detours. So, I think the best course of action will be to camp out with the big buddy and take this at our own pace. I should have him back home by Friday.
Of course, while I'm out here, I need to keep a watchful eye out for Mrs. Middletown. Assuming they'll try and absorb the Howler like they did to the other powerful cryptids. Though, for all we know, they've already gastered up a Howler. I was debating between "snallied" and "gastered," but I think, etymologically speaking, it'd be gastered. You know, sort of like a stomach, like they're eating the cryptids to gain their powers. But it's not that gruesome, thankfully. They've just been turning the cryptids into a sort of energy and then absorbing them. That's really all I've got for you today. Funny how receipts are often three paragraphs long, huh? Anyway, I'll check back in once I've got Mrs. Boone home safe and sound.
