Cattain's Log: Zarrdate... Zarrdate... I don't even know anymore. We've only been shipwrecked here about twenty-five Giant-Planet days or so, as near as I can tell.
 
I'm recovering nicely from my illness, though for about a day I was in for a big scare: The Giants had disappeared! Myeer, who had gotten quite attached to them began bemoaning their not returning home by the next morning. I, on the other hand, began frantically thinking of what to do.

dreamofhomeworld If the giants have been taking care of me, then will I ever recover from my disease? Would my nose ever become unplugged? Just as I was trying to think of a good method of getting Giant Life Insurance, they came clambering back! We rushed right to them... and were amazed by these large bags they set on the floor.

It wasn't long until I realized that the bags had been many places. This planet must be so much larger than I'd imagined!
Myeer, on the other hand, began licking one bag, swearing she tasted nip on it....

My limbs are also a bit longer than they had been before - Myeer's are beginning to look highly disproportionate! Is it the effect of the lesser gravity? Is it the 'entwash'? Will we one day reach the size of the Giants? Could we even someday explore as they do on the Big Wide Planet?
Such wonders can be found there I had no idea until they brought us a most peculiar spire for our rock shelter!

Even worse, Myeer said I smelled so strongly of giants' underarms that she avoided me whenever I tried to laze with her in the sun. Well, how could I tell with such a stuffed-up nose? recoveringsteadily For days she kept telling me my Giant name should be 'Pit Licker' instead of 'Violet'.

agangstagiant The next time they come after me, I have a plan: bash them with these strange little sticks I keep finding in the giants' rubbish bin.

whiskersaredying It's becoming increasingly difficult to find my way around in the dark. Something must be done about Myeer. And don't think I haven't taken her into account in my schemes. Mark my words...  I will make my first attempt for freedom soon enough.
