UN: MATRONA ⚒ VIDEO

[giantsheart]

So... apparently everyone on the team can see this? King, is it working?

[Here's a young lady on your device's video this morning, outside against the castle wall. You might not even be able to tell she's anything but a young lady, if you aren't the observant type- cause those castle wall stones look much smaller against Diane than they do with most people.]

Some of you are magicians, yeah? From all sorts of worlds? Do any of you have any spells to make things smaller? Spells that last more than seven hours? That's all I wanted to ask.

[There's some fussing with the jewelry that goes on, and Diane seems to be talking to someone (King) out of frame, until she suddenly grows somewhat red in the face, turning back to her magitek feed bristling, reminded of some... others announcements.]

Actually, while I'm at it. If you can all see this, a few more things.

Giants don't eat people.

And if you saw anything the other day, I don't want to hear it!

Goodbye!

[OOC: a bit of 30 foot tall flashing happened in the castle courtyard during the feast, which... you may feel free to have seen, oops.]

[ small giant 2 big giant. ]

Not all giants, of course. The whole eating thing gets messy—definitely more of the stabby thing. Well, speaking from experience.

[ a pause. ]

How's the weather up there?

[giantsheart]

[Loki, stop, she's trying to not be looked at funny???]

Not my kind of giant.

[She tosses her hair with a small huff.]

Same as it was down there, last I checked?

[selfimage]

Fair.

[ that's an awful joke. ]

Soooo—what kind of giant are you then?

[King might be a whole lot little red in the face after that last pronouncement, but he stutters through what he'd intended to say nonetheless.]

Th-That was perfect, Diane! I got your message on my ring, so I'm sure everyone else did too.

[giantsheart]

Phew...

[Giving a sigh of relief, (relief? probably relief), already cooling down (unless certain people commented), Diane leaned back against the castle wall she was currently occupying, holding out her arm to give the bangle on her un-bracered wrist another once over. It was a simple, brass looking thing with some carvings on it and a clear stone, nothing too fancy... But it actually held all of the "magitek"?]

I don't know how these spells work... Now I just wait for someone to talk to me?

[agrizzlysin]

Yeah, that's all there is to it. [He nods encouragingly as he floats about her shoulders.] Apparently, the magic works together with something called a computer. It's like nothing we have back in our world.

Given your size, wouldn't eating humans be terribly inefficient anyway? People should consider whether their prejudices make any sense before standing by them.
[If only it were that simple.]

[giantsheart]

I- it's not about efficiency, it's about... people!

[After all... She certainly didn't say giants never hurt or killed people... But eating them...]

[kikoku]

... It can be about both things.
[Regardless of what you say, Law insists that he is technically correct.]

Why do you want to become smaller?

[perma_banned]

Don't liiiie~. Giants eat people all the time.

[giantsheart]

Have you been spreading rumors, Ban?!

[perma_banned]

Course I haven't! It isn't my fault if people think you kill humans after you kill innocent people just trying to help youuuuu.

[ hi, diane. she's actually seen you a fair few times already (how could she not...) but now is the only time she's been able to properly greet you!

sadly, it's not with anything helpful. ]

Um... What about potions? Could there potentially be potions made for that kind of thing?

[ because she knows a fantastic witch...



thought then you'd end up playercesting oops ]

[giantsheart]

[Diane, for her part, has tried to pay attention but. Considering at first she didn't even know how to tell who was on which team... And she still doesn't know...

You're all mostly dots right now, sorry. Colorful hair-colored dots.]

I don't know, that's why I'm asking... I already have pills, though.

[winces]

[ that's okay, diane... you Tried. ]

Pills? If you were willing to part with one, I'm sure my master wouldn't mind trying to investigate it and make a potion form for you? Maybe one that can last longer!

[nishishi]

Iunno about using magic powers or anything, but it's cool to see a giant around!!

It's been a real long while since I've seen anyone bigger'n Torao, it was getting weird for a bit!

[giantsheart]

["Capt-" !? ... That's not her captain, nevermind...]

... you have giants where you come from, then? Different kinds?

[She's got people acting like giants come in all sorts of flavors over here...]

[nishishi]

[Sorry to get your hopes up, Diane.]

Sure do! Lots've different ones! It's really odd that people're so small here, honestly.

Some are as big as buildings, and I even met one that was bigger than my ship, once! [His smile is wide, his arms waving up in tandem with the oddly grand storytelling voice.]

He shared his hunt with me.

[soru]

Of course giants don't eat people. That would be absurd.

[ oh.

o h.

so that was you. ]

[giantsheart]

Exactly. Why are humans always so quick to think they're going to be eaten, anyway?

[so what if that's a real concern for some people???]

[soru]

If that's the common reaction to giants, then maybe the region or world they're from isn't home to such. It seems to be a matter of exposure.

[ i guess it's a good thing eren jeager isn't around huh ]

[ Being 30 feet is something Alice is familiar with, only in Wonderland. Rather than offer sympathy, Alice is, of course, curious as ever. She finds herself scooting up to her device and has to say- ]

Goodness, I don't think I've ever spoken to a giant before. This is very exciting!

[ So sometimes she's still seven years old. ]

[giantsheart]

[She's a bit used to curious reactions from children more so than adults, so she can work with this, smiling a bit awkwardly.]

You don't have giants near your village?

video; @ magnusficent

[warlocks]

[ well, this is a unique problem but also right up his alley. ]

I might be able to help. But depending on limitations, I may only be able to give you the appearance of being human sized. Will that suffice? You'll still have to watch your head on occasion.

[ but at least no one will catch a glimpse of, you know. Anything unseemly. ]

[giantsheart]

The appearance? Like, an illusion?

[She seems excited at the prospect anyway, at least, leaning closer to her "screen".]

Are you a wizard?
