Backdated to before the dance

[bite_the_hand]

Before anyone starts yelling about the Titan that's about to be out here by the ice rink, you don't have to be scared of it. That's me. I'm a Titan Shifter, which means I have the power to turn into a Titan and then turn back into a human again. I'm still in control of myself and I'm not going to attack anyone. I'm just helping with the decorations for the party.

[It's all said in a mildly annoyed mental 'voice' that suggests he's making this warning because he's managed to scare more than a few people in the past. And considering this announcement is immediately followed by the sound of an explosion and the appearance of a 15 meter tall monster man by the ice rink, it's likely not hard to see why.]

...Oh, and if any of you get near my feet, make sure I know you're there. I don't want to end up accidentally hurting anybody because I didn't see them when I moved.

... I guess I can see why the more common term for them is giants.

Apparently, according to Jean, I'm as tall as your captain back in Titan Hell whenever I'm wearing heels [that's like 99% of her time here] and I reach somewhere below my summon's knee.

[So it's like the size of a small Titan??? Umm she doesn't have network skills to show what they are talking about... So instead Eren gets a live view in Liminal close enough for him to see what they are talking about when there's suddenly a white knight in shining armor standing without his sword on a what looks like a hologram of a snowflake.]

Arma Gigas without his sword. And the thing under it is my semblance, we call them glyphs.

[bite_the_hand]

Definitely shorter than my Titan form then. Jean's as tall as a horse now and he still doesn't make it halfway to my Titan's knees.

[Then she summons a visual reference and... Well, that's still way too many strange keywords for him to make sense of, but it is enough for him to give her a more specific answer to the original question.]

Oh, that thing? It's as big as some Titans, but still a lot smaller than me.

[rustyhonesty]

Quit it with the horse jokes already or I'll cut you out of your fucking titan.

[bite_the_hand]

I'd like to see you try it, Horse-Face!

[Except he hasn't been training with his hardening ability enough to quickly and effectively harden his nape, so Eren definitely isn't as prepared for the attempt as he thinks he is...]

[rustyhonesty]

[ hi ]

[changeitall]

At least that's still taller than Mister Alicorn over there because he sure got taller all of a suddenly...

[Then again, Weiss is about as small as Historia without her heels and only as tall as Levi in heels. And she could explain the words if anyone asked her. Also if Jean hadn't told her about Titans and whatever? She'd be trying to figure out words from Titan Hell too, so ... Anyway!! The knight, Arma Gigas, leaves somewhere else now when his job there is done.]

Yeah, that thing. Looks very tiny compared to you... Also wasn't around the last time when I was here, but come to think of it, I remember Titan being around back then too before the first ball. [She disappeared somewhere around Junkworld though she was even much more like an insufferable and difficult bitch back then...] Either way, I guess this also works as a network thing about my summon too, so thank you and yours is a nice tradition. [Really, Titan helping to decorate is cute in her opinion even if they'd have other ways for it now but nope, why not that too?]

Might want to warn people about explosions before that explosion happens though.

[rustyhonesty]

Oi.

[changeitall]

What? Flying unicorn sounds perfect to you unless you'd rather just be pegasus... Doesn't mean I won't call you Jean most of the time.

[rustyhonesty]

Yet I have no horse form. I'm just an Oracle of Horses...

[changeitall]

Which is why you get all the horse related nicknames. [Missing a point here.]

[rustyhonesty]

I've been called a horse face way before I even started Traveling, you know. It's getting sort of old. Especially with new nicknames sprouting all over the place.

[changeitall]

No, no I didn't know but that's just rude. [At least she likes the Ice Queen title and besides she is making that to have a double meaning these days with her skills.] Fine, not a nickname or anything I use often but more like a... Secret Code name if I ever need that.

[rustyhonesty]

Welcome to my life in military.

That works. As long as it doesn't become a habit.

[bite_the_hand]

['Mister Alicorn?' Okay, that makes Eren laugh. Which is a really strange sound coming from a large Titan. He finally gets a hold of himself in time for him to react to her last comment, at least.]

Wait, was it too much? I thought I did okay making sure there wouldn't be any force behind it.

[changeitall]

[Oh wow, great, now the tiny girl is never going to forget how her first BIGGEST accomplishment here this time is making a 15 meter tall Titan laugh. But laughing is great, Weiss even looks proud of that! Especially when she comes from one of those worlds where negative feelings attract homicidal dark creatures.]

I mean more in... general that warning of them wouldn't be bad since most explosions don't tend to be sign of anything good happening??

[bite_the_hand]

[All the amusement is now long gone from the mental connection, leaving Eren just feeling awkward and a little upset with himself.]

Oh... right. I didn't- sorry.

[changeitall]

[ .... Ooops. Hello awkward line from Weiss' side too because heads ups could be nice but she didn't mean to make him feel that bad for it either.]

I'm sure anyone can see that everything is fine here. Besides some harmless explosions were more like pretty normal back in a wild school for me and this place sort of reminds me of that. Lots of different people with all kind of different skills put together, things happening... So maybe it's just me not being used to being back here yet.

My best friend back home still gets called Crater Face for literally exploding some stuff when I first met her. Another one gets stronger whenever lightning hits her which can lead to some explosive results and ... so on, lots of things happening in a much safer environment than the world outside of any limited area where we don't attack each other. [Until Cinder ruined that for the school but Weiss dodges thinking about her or any dangerous explosions by Cinder or anyone on her side.

Right but uh she had a point somewhere in there!]

What I'm trying to say is, don't worry about it, you're fine.

[bite_the_hand]

No, you were right. I'll do better next time.

[changeitall]

I know I'm and I'm glad you noticed it too. [Just saying, not being the perfectionist and miss-know-it-all anymore like she was before.] Still, don't feel too bad about it this time. And that's great, can't say I won't appreciate the heads up then.
