[Oh, look, it's Gunpei. He's out in the forest somewhere and he's looking more agitated than usual. Part of the reason just might be that behind him is a monster that, at the moment, is about the size of a tree. At least it doesn't look like it's doing anything other than rocking back and forth and gazing around the area.
Even if it is terrifying beyond all reason. When Gunpei speaks, he's trying to be as quiet as possible, and he keeps glancing back over his shoulder to check on the terrifying beast. He can't be worried about it spotting him; he's clearly in its line of sight. He just doesn't want it to hear him, and he would have posted a notice on the bulletin board asking for help, but Ole Man Signchanger's mother-in-law chased him away with a broom when he tried. It seemed not even a Prince could get away with "gossip" under her watch.]
Okay, I...I found this thing. And it's...
[He hesitates for a moment here.]
Well, watch.
[And he will break out into the chorus of "Don't Stop Believin'" at a normal volume. Singing is clearly not his strong suit, and he'll stop after a couple of lines because it seems the monster is responding to his song. It's no longer about the size of a tree, it is the size of a tree. It's rubbing up against the side of a tree now, looking like it's going to scratch an itch, and it knocks the tree over. The tree makes a loud crashing sound when it hits the ground, and at that noise, the monster gets just a little bit bigger. Gunpei is speaking in hushed tones again.]
Sounds. I've figured out it responds to sounds. It was shrinking a little when there were some birds singing out here, but then it ate the birds. Pleasant sounds make it quiet down, but if it doesn't like what it hears, it gets big. Really big. It was kind of tiny when I first found it...
[He takes a deep breath and then lets it out again like he's trying to calm himself down, but it's clear he's still quite freaked out about this. Building-sized monsters are something he's used to, but he's also used to having giant mecha to blow them up with.]
Is anyone out there a musician? I need to find someone really good--that would probably get this thing down to a manageable size. Just throwing random noises at it is getting kind of dangerous. We need to find the best singer here and let them at this thing.
