"I'm fine with whatever movie. The entire movie collection of my hometown consisted of just one box of DVDs, containing the third season of futurama"
"Do I want to know how your DVD player and television work? Do you have another enslaved giant for that?"
"Our lands are shielded from view with glamour. Ever so often though, adventurous campers come in, and then usualy go missing. Ever so often, they come with entire camping trucks."
"Weren't you claiming earlier that us 'giants,' as you insist on calling us, were but legends and bedtime stories to you?"
"Your mating habits are."
"...Wait, you had bedtime stories about...what the hell is wrong with your people?"(Think about it. "Giant mating habits"? That's basically macrophile porn.)
<I shall be waiting in the corner then. Oh, my magic doesn't work in here so I'll have to be physical with him. Fair warning~>
Will mind-sniggers.
(to Will) What interview
"Some of the others, the ones who fought some aliens a few months ago--and Ester, for some reason--are being brought in to chat about various events that have been happening lately."
before leaning nonchalantly on will
Will would fall over if he wasn't seated, since he's the smaller of the two when Stella
isn't partly transformed.
"So quick to judge. You giants truely only listen to the loud sounds. The small folk lives in hiding, in the niche it carved to itself, in freedom and in safety from those who think of us as lesser for our size. Before all things of the world began to grow in size, we were plenty, and everywhere, now the fewest have even heared about us. Because our home is a secret. We built it as far away from human settlements as we could, but we need to live off something too, so we can't just retreat on onto the top of the mountains or the sands of the desert. And yet, despite the isolation, more and more humans wander into our lands, and every so often, right through the glamour that hides us. Why? Because they are too big, of course. Too big for the land to not drown under their weight, and before they know it, in every direction they look, there is just humans, and their mountanous homes, and so they grow tired of it, and seek the isolation that is our only retreat.
It is because of the likes of you, that boast with their sheer size, to take our lives and even put us in the food chain. And that is why I am proud to say that none of those who got lost in the wilderness through the glamour have returned to report their findings. They die, so our entire kind can live, and it fills my heart with pride that 27 bones from giant thumbs are hanged on my wall, as a service to my kind.
Do not mistake it as malice or greed, it is for survival, and the fight is desperate.
This is why I came to the world of the giants, so that one day I can say that the hiding can have an end. But what I have endured here in the first day already leaves a sour aftertaste.."
"Hey, do you want my rebuttal organized chronologically, alphabetically, or what? And before you answer, that's rhetorical. After the interview, I'll be delivering a speech that covers the rebuttal points...unless you're afraid to hear how you're wrong."
"That's the approach of a naive child. Even if we explained the problematics to the giants, and swore them to silence, the secret of our location is the foundation of our survival. Idealism is good, but when you are making decisions for an entire race, you do not jeopardize that on the trustworthyness of a giant. They may keep the secret at first, but as everything, giants grow larger and larger to *stand out*. A secret like this would make them interesting, and eventually they will spread it, because they value so little those that they think are below them."
"Ah. To avoid being childish, your entire species has chosen to do the first idea anyone thought about and didn't consider any possibilities of change. Oops, my bad, shouldn't spoil the speech."
<So we know why they wanted Tobias at least... but, they sent someone weak... Why?>
<Lack of foreplanning?>
Ester twiddles her thumbs, waiting to get to the studio for the interview.
((AKA Timeskip?))
Since I should be here for a while, you all arrive. You get prepped--anything you want to do while makeup is applied and people give semi-contradictory explanations of what's going to happen, or do we skip to the actual interview?
