LOL napabeth! Bwahahahaha! I might have to agree, especially after the stories of the feast and the lemons. Pot seems to take itself less seriously than some of the other giants, at least going by the stories we got told last test. My second choice would be Humbaba because it loves the animals:)
Having to have such a neighbor would be way, way to high maintenance! For instance, I'd be taking out the garbage and my neighborhood Giant would want me to take out theirs, and damn, I'd have to rent a monster tow truck to me get the can (hopefully only 1) to the curb. And when I'm off to run errands, you know who will want a ride, and how would that work?? Or how 'bout when other Giants come by to visit?!?!?! There goes the neighborhood. And the constant expectations of donations......
I am always leery of getting too close to Giants, mystics, sadgurus or politicians!
"Sure, Spriggan is the most taciturn and humorless of all the giants. You would be, too, if you had sole dominion over the trees. Trees are serious business, you know."
No indeed Lord Bacon-o... but I don't have much contact in RL with my neighbours and I don't mind at all...So..Spriggan wpuld be an option to keep things quiet. :-)
Don't worry about the Rooks if you have a Giant living next door. One glance from his steely eyes and they would drop like a crushed Pop Rock, pulzerized into sparkle dust....fall like a shattered, decimated successful target hit by a drone missile craft...
Yeah, none of the above. I wouldn't want to run into any of those guys first thing in the morning when I am retrieving my copy of the Ur Herald - WAY too many eyeballs, the lot of 'em!
i think the rook represents the forgetfulness of the giants.
if the world is the thoughts of the giants, then the rook represents the forgetfulness that causes areas of the world to fall to neglect and being overtaken by rook.
so if a giant looked at a rook, it would vanish before the giant could even see it. or something like that. the more attention for the giant, the less neglect that powers the rook.
This talk of Rooks reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe...Quote the raven, "nevermore..."
What would a Rook say if he were being pursued by Pot, the Mightiest Giant of them All?
I'm thinking Pot might throw some wild parties, but next door would be a bit too close for comfort - and the rubbish bags would be in their hundreds afterwards so I wouldn't care to contemplate moving them around.
Alph? or Cosma?
"Alph is the giant of creation. If you've ever wondered "Why do Piggies make meat?" or "Which came first: the chicken or the egg plant?" chances are Alph has the answer."
- handy if you have a quick question to just pop round
"Cosma is the giant who governs the sky. She is also the giant of levity and, sad to say, flightiness. She is, however, the only giant capable of herding butterflies."
- levity sounds good, but the butterflies could block out any sunlight if they get too crowded
I'm thinking Friendly - other than the obvious friendliness it would be nice to be able to stop by anytime I was missing cocktail ingredients and have him make me something potent and delicious.
I'd first want to live next to Lem, hopefully he'd take me on some interesting adventures. After a while I'd get sick of it and move next door to Cosma.
