[show_my_cannons]

[Somewhere in Goldenrod, there is a massive black robot. He's about 25' tall, well over four tons, and armed to the teeth.]

[He also looks excessively proud of himself as he kicks snow out of his path. This is the image the 'gear shows over the network.]

About time I was returned to my frame. Cold is hardly a problem now.

[For emphasis, he scoops some of said snow into one huge hand, and compacts it into what may be the largest and most deadly snowball Jhoto has ever seen.]

... Hmm.

[Be warned, citizens. The old weapons master is just looking for a target.]

[foolishwren]

Yeeeeaaaah.

I didn't find out they were... you know... police officers... until like, two weeks later and there was already a warrant out for my arrest.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

Why were you hallucinating to begin with?

[Action]

[foolishwren]

The ghost Pokemon were collectively pulling... some kinda stunt.

I wasn't the only one... it was me and everybody else not from this world. Apparently it was total chaos.

_{[She leans on his head with one hand as she recounts.]}

Supposedly it only lasted a few days, but... felt like longer.

_{[To this day, it was one of the worst experiences she'd ever had in Johto... if not THE worst. Probably the same for most other people who'd been there when it happened, too.]}

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

Ghosts. Hmn... like Cliffjumper's purple thing?

[His good optic flicks in her direction, watching her for a long, silent moment before he says anything else.]

Always does.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Yeah. Ghost Pokemon, I guess I shoulda said. _{[Not that it makes a huge difference to Heather. She dislikes the Pokemon versions just as much as she does the ones back home...]}

But yeah.

It was kinda... yeah.

Not fun.

... Still, though, I totally owned those police.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

Hmnf. The authorities here are... lacking. If you had done that anywhere else, you would likely not have survived.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Pffft, yeah yeah...

_{[Because she's Heather, she likes to think she could take on any police. ... But the truth is, yeah, she probably couldn't have.]}

It'd take more than some fat cop to shuffle me off the mortal coil for good.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

Do not "yeah yeah" me, kid.

Not all the authorities are oversized and inept.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[She grins playfully.]}

Oversized? That seems a bit rich, coming from a giant space robot.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah? You think this is oversized?

You should see some of the Decepticons.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Yeah? I remember you sayin' they were big, but how big? _{[It's a little hard for her to imagine ones BIGGER THAN IRONHIDE but give her time.]}

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

[He grunts, thinking.]

Demolishor was at least twice Prime's size in height. And Optimus was taller than me by a good couple feet.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[... Well, THAT wipes the cocky grin off her face for a moment.]}

... Holy shit.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

[He snorts.]

Which part? The Decepticons? Or Prime?

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Well, mainly the Deceptitrons.

That's pretty hard to picture.

_{[She'd fought some pretty big things in her time... but not even God had been that big. ... Physically, anyway.]}

Did you kill it? The Demolisher thing.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

You got used to it.

[There's a pause, and when he answers her question, there's something hard and angry in his voice.]

We did. We blew a hole straight through its head. Put a stop to it once and for all.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

... Cool.

_{[She sounds genuinely impressed. In a movie, giant robots blowing each other up might not be too earth-shaking for her. But thinking about it happening in real life...]}

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

... Cool?

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Yeah. You beat the bad guy.

And the bad guy was the size of a friggin' building.

That's pretty damn cool.

... Not even I've done that.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

We had reason. Would have taken him down, regardless of his size.

[A beat.]

Yeah, your foes were a little... small.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Oh, some of them were bigger than what you saw.

... A lot bigger.

_{[She pauses, then adds--]}

... But like I said, not as big as that.

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

How much bigger?

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[She pauses a little bit before answering.]}

... Ever seen a subway train?

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. Seen data files on them.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Think around that size.

_{[The splitworm had not been a pleasant opponent. She'll say that much.]}
