[2182] "Oh, and we saw a huge monster."

[imaginaryfriend]

Keeping priorities straight in a dangerous situation is a must.

[madjack]

If they really have been shrunk I bet that's Andrew looking for them.

Edit: It looks like whoever that is in the background is holding a thing too? Kat could have made another tracker to locate the the one she originally made for Annie, and Andrew would be the logical one to use it since his power would help him out.

Edit again: They appear to be heading towards F!Annie on the previous page, who has the original tracker.

[noone3]

Plot twist:
Huge monster is also Annie.

[Futurismo]

To be fair to F!Annie, being stuck with a gossip that won't stop talking would be the more stressful part for me too. I just can't hear myself think if I hear someone else's voice and as a very introspective person, that drives me nuts. For Annie, monsters are just a fact of life for her.

As for what's going on here, I'm guessing that each group is perceiving the other as giants. Both groups felt those rumbles and both groups saw the shadow of a giant, that's for sure.

This is Tom though, so maybe it's literally just one of Coyote's Shadow People.

Eglamore and Annie felt *a* rumble as well. Except it was red for the two groups that saw the thing and pink (and kinda smaller) for Eglamore and Annie.

Maybe it loops, and Parley actually saw a bigger Sylvannie, who saw a bigger Eglamore, who is about to see a bigger Parley, who saw...


Whatever is happening, my bets are on Rey to be the first to guess what it is

[pyradonis]

If Eglamore and Courtney had not heard the rumble as well, I would be sure the giant was Eglamore entering the tree (which Renard and Parley could not see, being already inside). Sooo...hm.
Regarding priorities, Annie has defeated huge monsters before, and Cvet surely packs a punch. Fighting should be a calculable risk. But all that talking kills her concentration she so desperately needs to make sense of what is happening.

Chapter names are a bit🜱.

Not to mention that a dangerous mission on which the fate of the entire Court may depend strikes me as the wrong time to engage in constant gossip. (Maybe it's Cvet's way of trying to alleviate the stress of the situation, but it still strikes me as inappropriate for the occasion.)

[ctso74]

She says, they saw a huge monster. Maybe Monday, we'll see it revealed and get some answers. Of course, with wisps involved, it's appearance might not mean much.

Same here. Aggravatingly, I can't read when someone else is talking to me, or too loudly. I'll be reading a sentence, then whatever they're saying is spliced into what I'm reading. Especially troublesome, when I'm trying to read an odd error on someone's screen, and they're just chatting in my ear.

[fia]

Some of us are extroverted thinkers and introverted feelers. I think Cvet is just extroverted both. I like her, even if she rubs Annie the wrong way.

[Gemini Jim]

Meanwhile, at Wisp HQ:


"OK, we've sent Dug out to attack and messed with their compasses. Rumble and Frenzy, you're in charge of the sound effects."

***** RUMBLE *****

"Good! Now Mirage, project That Guy over there. Make him look huge."

"But That Guy and his friend won't see it."

"Of course not, how can you see yourself off in the distance?"

*** A Wild EGGY Appeared! ***


Etc. etc.

[zbeeblebrox]

Forest!Annie: "Oh good! Both of you just head toward the gigantic monster and you'll meet up!"

Suddenly Egon: "That would be extraordinarily bad."

[saardvark]

On the previous page, the monster seems to be heading towards the Cvet-F!Annie group, and a bit to their right (from the monster's POV), while on this page, Rey & Parley see it a bit more distantly almost at right angles on the monster's right. If it is the same monster, that would seem to put the Cvet-F!Annie group to the right and a bit more distant the monster, from Rey & Parley's POV. Its not at all clear the scenery matches though... e.g., the large rock tower near Cvet should then be at the right of the 2nd image on this page (unless its out of view to the right). Or maybe a Wisp induced illusion effect (Wii effect)?

Same! Being in any public place in the same space as a someone talking loudly is so stressful. I'll find myself subconsciously listening, then 10 minutes later I've heard their whole story/complaint. I look down at my book or laptop and no progress has been made.
