All Over The Island, Saturday Noon
Who knew a squirrel-run island-wide radio system could come in handy? Jesse really had seen everything, by this point. Either way, sometime a few minutes after noon, radio came alive again.
"Uhh, hi. This is Jesse Faden, your mayor." A pause. "We know the island has been dealing with an-- invasion of nightmares recently. We're piecing things together, but it looks like we've got some kind of... psychic parasite horses living in the shadows."
She cleared her throat.
"I know this suggestion is going to be weird, and trite, and a lot of you are going to roll your eyes at it, and I won't blame you," she said. "But the best lead we have so far is that happy thoughts-- I mean, happy memories, they're... poison? Maybe? Or it just scares them. I don't know. I just... I want to try something. I need everybody to show up at the park today, and, uh, make a big circle and. Think about nice things."
A long pause. Some chittering.
"... yeah, I know. It's the best we have. If anyone has any better ideas, I'll be in the park."
