"Whoa, did I hear you say Reedy Pond? Sorry, didn't mean to butt in, my ears just perked up. I hope you're not planning on going there anytime soon, that'd be a really bad idea right now. Local news was supposed to put out an alert to stay away, don't know how many people saw it.
Frog morphs. Yeah, the ones that 'reproduce' via saliva, lick ya and you end up just like them? One or more of 'em moved in at some point. We only know because Jackson went missing a few days back...they found his truck near the pond and some tattered clothing, then when the croaking started they booked it and barely made it out. Caught a glimpse of the poor green bastard in the rear view mirror. So there are at least two out there. And you know there're those regulations and bullshit so we can't just start shooting. State Monster Control has been notified, they're supposed to be out shortly, but they're pretty swamped.
Speaking of swamped, service seems slow here today. Has anyone seen that new waitress that moved here recently? She better not be skipping out on shifts already, doesn't reflect well on 'er."
