[Luna is sitting among books and magazines and a few other bits and bobs, all scattered along the floor. She's putting them into piles as she speaks, apparently reorganizing things.]

I've never been in an earthquake before. It was very interesting, although since people got hurt I wouldn't like another one. But a disaster is still better than an attack, since the giants probably aren't trying to hurt us.

[OBVIOUSLY it was giants.]

Is everyone all right... the ones that haven't already gone? The city's gotten much quieter in the past few weeks, at least the voices that I know.

[She pauses in her reorganization to flip through a magazine, apparently reminded of something.]

If you'd still like to help with reporting, I think the easiest way would be to speak to me -- or each other -- whenever you find information. Nobody's schedules seem to match up... unless you'd like to try to all meet in person anyway.

[She's really more used to working alone when it comes to creative projects, Dad rarely had many people together to work on the Quibbler, either.

And without turning the communicator off, she puts a stack of books in front of it and continues to go about her business.]

It seems that the giants were very careful to not cause too much damage...regardless, there is still a lot of work to be done.[Most definitely giants. Or rather, why not?] I would not know about everyone but I'm in a good condition.

[The view is still blocked by books, mind.]

It was collateral damage from something else. Not a rare occurance, you know.

I'm glad you're all right.

[Katsura vainly tries to see if Luna is alright herself, but he concedes that the pile of books are expertly stacked so that he can't see anything.]

Might you have a periscope over there, Luna-dono? I'm not sure how were you able to tell that I'm fine otherwise. But even so, with great size comes great responsibility. Perhaps a warning system could be installed so that we would be appropriately prepared to welcome these giants the next time.

Oh, were you lying?

That would be very convenient, I wonder if the Watch would want to do something like it. I'm not sure they care about giants.

[Interesting that she should mention the disappearances because the number of people sent home this time seems out of the ordinary, almost as if the earthquake had been somehow related to the more recent incidents.

...but it's the part about giants that has him replying. It's obvious to him that this was anything but the work of giants, but he could use the distraction.]

That's the first piece of news I've heard about giants. Where did you hear this from?

[Voice]

[quibbling]

They told me.

Moreover, natural disasters created by creatures are different from those created by the earth itself. If you know how to tell.

[Voice]

[curtissy]

I'm afraid 'they' are rather unspecific about the details of their misadventure and the appropriate compensation for the inconvenience caused, which brings their integrity into question. Did this giant say anything else or was he merely linking cause with effect?

[Voice]

[quibbling]

He apologized.

I can tell you don't believe me, you know.

Giants? I thought Pekoponian earthquakes were caused by plates shifting, de arimasu? Ah, or Moa-dono. But I think that might be a special case, de arimasu.

[video]

[quibbling]

That's another way, but I'm certain it was giants this time.

[video]

[starfruitfrog]

How can you tell, de arimasu?

[video]

[quibbling]

The way the earth moves is different. It's hard to explain without diagrams.

One of them also admitted to it.

[sorceries]

It was giants, was it?

video;

[quibbling]

Yes, they've already admitted to it.

[sorceries]

I wasn't aware the city had giants.

[16hitmagnum]

I opened a box of cookies and they all came out crumbly!

[video]

[quibbling]

Maybe they were already crumbled and you never knew.

[16hitmagnum]

But I shook them thrice at the store before I bought them, just to check! They weren't crumbly then!

[dead_black_eyes]

Giants? I was under the impression that our major threats include witches and, recently, tectonic plates.

[Audio]

[quibbling]

They could all be working together, although giants are often very solitary creatures.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Assuming your not talking about the medical condition acromegaly, they must be incredibly so.

(voice.)

[ioudas]

It won't happen again.

(voice.)

[quibbling]

Thank you, but it's a little bit late for that.

[She's not judging or anything, but it's true.]

[video]

[briochetime]

... It was my first time experiencing an earthquake as well. [But he's more interested in something else--] May I ask what you mean by 'giants'?

[He thought the enemies were Witches....]

[video]

[quibbling]

There are only one kind of giants that I know about.
