[It's a cloudy mid-morning on THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, and the town is bustling as always. Many people are quite excited about the second batch of new arrivals; though they're not getting quite the celebration the first round got, they still might find themselves being greeted by bizarrely friendly folk.

Out of place is a number of geese scattered around town, each with their own little messenger bag packed full of rolled up parchment. They're putting the papers up all over, on fence posts and market stalls and storefronts, even stuffing them into mailboxes and leaving them on benches. Each paper is nearly identical, with large, blocky font and the occasional inky feather mark.

If stopped, the geese will be more than happy to talk at great length about how terrible this all is. Strangely, there appear to be a few other people and animals poking around as though looking for something, or acting a bit sullen for such an otherwise joyful day.]

[Starscream's reaction confirms that something is going on. Mogget gives him a look.]

We're in a field. Why would there be a lantern in an empty field?

[He approaches the lantern with caution, looking to see if there's anything unusual about it.]

I don't know! Why do humans do anything?

[Starscream watches Mogget and the lantern very carefully, as if a bomb might go off at any moment.]

[The lantern itself is unusually large for a turnip, and the light emanating from the face carved into the turnip doesn't come from a candle, but from a bright ember lying on the bottom of the turnip's interior.]
