[ girl stop being so weird about your snacks. baiken pushes the bears closer. take the damn bears. ]

Somethin' like that. Funny thing is, no one actually told us. Then when we got to it, touching it made some giant building with a leg appear. So we got into that car and got brought back.

[ some... how... ]

[rosebleed]

[Oops. But okay she will nibble while Baiken smokes. This is fine.]

A giant building with a leg?

[Okay. Um. Very far-fetched but not totally out of the question...]

It wasn't a sort of hut with chicken legs, was it?

[If anyone could make it here out of sheer will power and spite, only to torment whoever they found? It would be the Baba Yaga.]

[kabari]

Much bigger than a hut, but you have the right idea. We were about the size of its toenails.

[rosebleed]

Really?

[Okay different walking building, nevermind. No saviour in the guise of a mercurial hag today.]

And you were able to escape alive? That's incredible. Really, I have a friend who's fought giants before, it's no easy feat.

Fighting is all about knowing yourself. [ a pause to tag a drag. ]

We weren't gonna win against that thing, and the car was faster anyway. Then I'm sure you saw us get thrown into the theater. Or heard about it, anyway.

[rosebleed]

That's very wise. [She takes a beat as well. Pause for gummy.]

Is that what hurt Throné and Ichiban? Or was there something else you had to fight?

[She doubts that the woman is secretly nursing a wounded arm from just running away.]

[kabari]

There was a monster. Down in the depths of this building we were in... It was dark, and that thing was fast.

That wasn't the only thing. There was a lot of fighting going on at the end, but I wasn't watchin' them then.
