[chin_godzilla]

Display Name: Godzilla
Profile Photo: Happy boi
Notes: None

(At first, it begins simply enough, with Godzilla being small enough to use his phone and hold up a sign in front of the camera.)

Hello, everyone.
I have an important announcement

(He holds the sign up for a few seconds, lowering it and pretending to write more over it, though the lizard is almost vibrating with how much excitement he's visibly holding back. That's why he doesn't hold it back for long. With a deep, somewhat rumbly voice, Godzilla speaks.)

I can speak! I never thought it would happen, but here I am! Magic may always stump me, but I'll never underestimate what it's capable of. And just in case he's paying attention: thank you again, Loki.

It feels strange introducing myself after being here for so long, but I can finally do it myself. Without written words. They call me "Godzilla" back home. Normally, I'm large enough to stand taller than buildings, but one of the first things I received on arrival was a charm to control my size. It makes learning about people much easier when I don't have to worry about stepping on them. I've been learning how to read and write to try and communicate with others, and I don't plan on stopping despite the gift of speech. I know something so freely given can also be freely lost, but something I learn myself will be much harder to take away.

And just in case anyone is worried: no, I don't eat humans. I eat fish.

[ well now. ]

Congratulations.

[chin_godzilla]

Thank you! I'm really excited about this, Loki.

It's something I hadn't really considered until I woke up here. And even less so before I met you. You helped me realize how incredibly helpful it is.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that makes him smile faintly. ]

Is that so? I'm honoured.

[codicies]

Holy shit!

This is awesome! Nice to meet you, congrats on being able to talk!

...have you said any swear words yet?

[chin_godzilla]

It's nice to meet you, too. And yes, I know what those are! I've heard them often in my time here. There hasn't been much need for me to use them, really.

They're often used when someone is frustrated; I can always roar when that happens.

[codicies]

Well, what if you wanna seethe? Or if you dont really have time to stop and roar? There's a lot you can express by just whispering a quick f-bomb.

[He normally sticks to text, but for this he'll make an exception.]

You must be quite pleased.

[chin_godzilla]

Very pleased! This will help so much whenever there's a misunderstanding.

Of course, if I need to scare someone, I can always stay silent.

[unkindled_madness]

I believe a talking dragon might still startle quite a few people.

[tinglesense]

Oh, wow! That's...so cool that you can talk now!

[ He remembers meeting Godzilla like ages ago when they were trapped in a fairy tale. Man, what a time it's been since then. ]
You're...Godzilla?

[ DUDE NO WAY, who can he immediately text to geek about this??? How did he not realise sooner? ]

I'm Peter. I guess I should have told you that before when we met but I was preoccupied.

Which Loki helped you out, by the way?

[chin_godzilla]

That's me. Hi Peter! It's been a long time since I last saw you. I'm glad you're okay, after that strange monster chased us.

I didn't think to ask which one he was; at the time, I was surprised that there could be multiples of someone like that. Still, he was very friendly. He smelled like apples and smoke. Wood, too.

(Most people don't identify others by scent, big guy.)

Oh, and he mentioned having a gift called the All-Tongue.

[tinglesense]

Yeah, wow! It's been kinda crazy, like, nonstop since then.

[ He listens to the scent thing but he...definitely does not differentiate Lokis by scent. ]
All-Tongue?

[ That doesn't help, either, but this is just Peter lacking in Loki knowledge. He makes a note to ask at least one of them about it. ]

Well, I'm not...actually sure what they smell like, but either way, I'm glad one of them was able to help you out. I think there are still three of them here.

Oh, you look similar to the great Celestial dragons from my world. They can also be as big as buildings or even mountains.

[ From what Jayce can see on the profile, that's it. Somehow, this is less weird to him than meeting a black and yellow cat who talk, as it had happened early in the day. Knowing that Godzilla eats fish, it's also a relief. ]

It's nice to meet you, I'm Jayce. Magic really is incredible, it has so many applications.

[chin_godzilla]

More than I'll ever understand, but I won't deny its efficacy. It speaks for itself!

Wait, I think people refer to that as a "pun". My first pun.

I'm uncertain if I should be proud of that.

[defenderoftomorrow]

When it comes to magic, I think no one can fully be an expert. It's an ever-changing power, unlimited, so...but I always believed that it could be used to help others. Case in point...

[ The corner of Jayce's lips upturns, both at the pun and Godzilla's reaction. ]

You should. Everyone loves puns. The worst, the better. I'm afraid I only know science jokes, like... 

Why can you never trust atoms? Because they make up everything.

[ Gods, that was terrible. Why do people let him speak in public? ]

[ikols]

You're very welcome, Big G.

[chin_godzilla]

I'm already enjoying it. I enjoy when the store clerks double take after I thank them for their help as I'm leaving.

Just a little harmless fun here and there.

[trustheart]

I'm sorry but

Your name is what?

[ooc - I'm hoping this is okay? If you'd rather she not be aware of that name, I'd be okay with editing.]

[chin_godzilla]

((You're good!))

Godzilla! That's me!

I apologize for not being as capable of responding in text; that's an entirely different skill I'm not practiced with yet.

[Godzilla???????????

Well, he has the sense to get that reaction out of his system before responding!]

Well, I'm glad you're having an easier time. I can't imagine having to navigate an alien society without that kind of help.

[unless godzilla(???) was living around humans before? he guesses?]

[chin_godzilla]

(Funny he should think that...)

I have some experience doing so back home. I lacked the size changing charm and magic means of speech, but a team of human scientists worked with me and look after me, especially when the military was ready to open fire. Among them was my adoptive father. I owe him much.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

[ Doreen just. She just squeals. ]

Dude! This is amazing, congratulations!

[chin_godzilla]

Thank you! I'm so happy about this change. It's going to do so much to help me understand people and help people understand me.

Including my friends. I know it can be difficult to trust someone like me at first, but you did so without hesitation. That means so much to me.

[ Godzilla. SURE WHY NOT. ]

Ya know, in my world, Loki-gifts usually come with huge strings attached. But good on you, dude.

[chin_godzilla]

He did ask for my help in certain things in exchange, yes. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to keep them secret or not, but they are things I would deal with anyway.

That and I already knew a Loki I trusted. He felt trustworthy, too. And very friendly.
