A simmering threat [2026]
Washington is on the volcanically active Pacific Ring of Fire. It’s famous for the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, when the volcano went through months of earthquakes and swelled with magma until it exploded. It released 24 megatons of energy, left a mile-wide crater, killed 57 people, devastated hundreds of miles of land, and was the most financially destructive volcanic event in US history. It caused major new awareness of disaster preparation. Today deep under the mountain, a complex, interconnected magmatic system makes the next eruption an even bigger threat; not if, but when it comes.
This isn’t the story of a natural threat. It’s about another socially-constructed one below the surface.
In October 2026, a Washington furry named Matthew “Cupid” Grabowsky is set to be released from jail. He’ll be on parole for his second conviction for preying on children and animals. Grabowsky did it in a ring of predators like him in the Pacific Northwest furry community, who present as regular community members, but keep another face hidden. Grabowsky’s return is being watched by people whose warnings were brushed off, before and after he was caught — and those who know how many uncaught ring members are still where they always have been.
When Grabowsky was first arrested, he was at the epicenter of a quake under the community. Members scrambled to hide or face heat from the police. It shook out some buried corruption, and would make one organizer factory-reset his phone to hide involvement. A few ring members took the blame, but most of the evidence was buried, with friends helping to smooth it over. The impact was shallow in the end, and aftershocks weren’t seen as connected. There was no map to monitor the fault lines. The few other ring members who got caught were seen as internet denizens, not as part of a specific real life scene that connects offline, which helps it to stay hidden underground.

Furvana (2018). Anthro Northwest (November 9-12, 2017). Pacific Northwest Fur Con (Spring 2017). And a rebirth for Rainfurrest (under parent organization RAIN, who actively runs other events year-round.) All of these are intended for one region. Amazingly they seem cooperative, with none replacing another.
