During the early parts of the fridge Liminal

[bite_the_hand]

If you see a Titan outside the fridge, don't worry. That's just me. [He doesn't want to scare anyone like he did last time he became a Titan in Liminal Space. Especially since the majority of Travelers seem more likely to try stabbing him than they are to run away.]

[There's a short pause as he seems to consider something.]

As long as I'm like this, does anyone want to use these giant letters to leave a message for the Trumps? It shouldn't be too hard for me to move them around right now. I just don't have anything to say to them that'd do any good.

A Titan?

[Did he miss a memo?]

[bite_the_hand]

[Oh right, not everyone here knows what a Titan is. Oops.]

Titans are monsters from my world. Giants that are almost impossible to kill if you don't know what you're doing. Most of them don't remember anything about being human, but I'm still myself and can change back whenever I want.

[wildmagician]

... did your world have some kind of bizarre human experiments that caused that to happen?

[If they don't remember being humans, that means all of them were originally human.]

I get that you're not dangerous, but what about the titans who don't remember?

Action

[tobegood]

[There is a small child looking up at Eren's titan form with very wide eyes. At the moment, it looks like he can't quite decide whether to be terrified or delighted.]

Action but still "talking" over the Network

[bite_the_hand]

[Eren smiles at the kid - although it's hard to tell what with the lack of lips and all - and gives him a friendly wave.]

It's okay, you don't need to be scared of me.

Action forever

[tobegood]

[Imri slowly moves out from behind one of the giant letter he was hiding behind.]

You don't sound like you're new here. How come I never saw you before? Do you transform like papa does, with his elf form? [Fascinated as he is, he doesn't realize he just called Liara "papa".]

[failgoyle]

ARE YOU THE GIANT NAKED MAN!?

[bite_the_hand]

[It's pointless to stream sound when he's a Titan since he's not actually capable of speaking in that form. Only only the people that can see and hear him normally can see the short delay in his answer is because of an exasperated sigh and Titan sized eye-roll.]

Yes, I'm the giant. And I warned everyone so nobody would start yelling. [Too late, clearly.]

[failgoyle]

Well, I wanted to make sure!

[To be fair, it's not like it's hard to get Jules to start yelling.]

[awondrousplace]

Well, we could ask for a room to hold our ball this year, but that might be a ways off.

[bite_the_hand]

I guess. But who knows if the next Liminal Space will have the right kind of shape for that, or when we'll be sent on the next Jaunt.

[fearinahandfulof]

Is everything all right?

[bite_the_hand]

...No one's injured or in any danger. [Which is not the same thing as being alright but at least makes it clear nobody's fighting anything.]

[fearinahandfulof]

[That did not answer her question.]

I see.

[dino_zarf]

You know I'm pretty sure those words have never been combined in that order before.

[bite_the_hand]

Lots of stuff happens in Liminal Space that's probably never happened before.

[Eren's officially hit the point where a lot of the weird things that come as part of Traveling don't really effect him much anymore.]

[dino_zarf]

That's putting it mildly.

[He's not looking forward to having to explain gravity the next time he and Rose are investigating]

[photonicfighter]

Oh. You're the tall one, over there? That's good to know. I was a little worried.

It's warmer on the outside, is that why you're there? It's more comfortable?

[Given all the nakedness.]

[bite_the_hand]

As far as I know I'm the only giant here. But I look like a normal human most of the time. I just... needed to do something that'd be a lot easier as a Titan.

Sorry for worrying you. [He probably should have sent this warning before transforming and angrily ripping one of the photographs into small pieces and then stomping on those pieces, but was too enraged to think about that at the time.]

[photonicfighter]

It's fine! I'm used to... um... unusually large things being dangerous.

What did you need to do, if it's okay to ask?

[callyourname]

. . . I'm not going to say "you could have just done that without transforming". But you should have made this before there was a Titan.

[ But it's Eren "I tend to act before I think" Jaeger even if he is calmer these days. So she is not even surprised by any of this. She isn't even sure what she should have said but well, anything works for a start. Besides this is about THAT picture. ]

[bite_the_hand]

[Even over the toneless Network, Eren's thoughts still carry a sense of feeling ashamed.]

I know. I was so pissed off when I saw it, I couldn't think. ...Sorry.

[callyourname]

And I was too, so you don't need to apologise from me.

[neverfeltthatway]

Actually warning people this time, then? [It's gentle teasing - and though it's not normally something Armin would make light of, here he's deliberately trying to make light of it. He's trying to brighten the mood, to show Eren it's all right, that last time was a mistake, and that nobody thinks he's a monster.]

[bite_the_hand]

[He's not really expecting Armin to tease him about this, but the teasing is welcome all the same.]

Hey, there's a lot of suicidal bastards in Liminal Space. Figured after last time I should explain before anyone tried to ask me with their sword. Even if I still wasn't fast enough to stop anyone from screaming. [Dammit Jules.] But better late than never?

[And yes, he used his old nickname from the Training Corps on purpose to count himself among the reckless idiots that would attack before thinking.]
