help with a creature?

...i have no idea if this is the correct place for what i'm dealing with, but it's worth a shot.
if you've seen me around the forums, you know that i am a scrap diviner that travels a lot. this means that i work on a laptop a lot of the time, on various hotel and motel internet connections. apparently, the one i was staying at recently had...problems, because there appears to be a creature roaming my desktop and getting into trouble. it's already eaten some of my work files and i've only been able to identify it as a "gravebeak", which seems to be linked to this game, friendzoo.

should i download the client to try and communicate with this creature? trying to type into note documents just makes it erase my text and shuffle the letters around. as far as i know, this behavior isn't even normal for the game's usual...and i really can't have this thing keep messing up my work!

[INK_AND_PLUSH]: Not super helpful, but have you tried reaching out to the games creator? They might know something or someone who can help?
[INK_AND_PLUSH]: I'm iffy on saying download it, I'd say reach out for support first. Dont know if that willbhurt more tho

hi! uhhhh
we've had some reports of rasters being able to go onto desktops, yes, but this is something we've only received a few reports about and are figuring out how to address. we originally planned for rasters to only be able to enter someone's device when FZ is actually present on it, but we seem to be having...unforeseen consequences. 

communicating with the gravebeak probably would work best if you download the game, even if temporarily. we're still developing a blocker software that basically "locks" your door to outside digital life, but for now, that's probably best.

[INK_AND_PLUSH]: I'm curious, how did you get the creature? Did you download something else and have it appear? Some sketchy article you read? Public wifi?
[INK_AND_PLUSH]: Sorry if you don't want questions but I'm curious what lead to the discovery of the gravebeak.
[INK_AND_PLUSH]: Also you should name it

[SCRAP_GAZER]:

motel wifi, yes. the game download is going exceedingly slow, as well
my best guess is that someone must have left it here when they checked out, or something.
i'd rather wait to see what it wants to call itself, first.
