(Warning: foot sweat and butt crush stuff, vore only at the end)

The streets of Fairview are littered with death and deep imprints. From between shattered buildings, a streamer strives to give a face to the carnage at hand.

Loved ones are torn asunder. Amid the burning wreckage, hidden from the view of a colossal invader, a couple rushes to each other to reconnect.

No one is spared a moment of peace, even in the heights of apartment buildings. What does she want? Why is she here? A lone gamer pulled in the conflict may find out the deep inner workings of the creature only known as...

"Big Blue".

A spooky, halloweeny-ish alien invasion story! Multiple narrators each give a distorted, blurry, and chaotic view of their city streets, as they're torn apart to shreds!

(This story was made as my part of a trade with the most excellent 2KSFK. Make sure to check out his half! Over here: https://aryion.com/g4/view/733435 )

The creation process was really fun for this. 2KSFK leans somewhat towards overt death, horror situations from a tiny POV, and the occasional bit of non-human giantess. I lean towards comic or silly tones by default, helped by the giantess having an understandable perspective, usually pretty human. So without intending to, we each kinda proposed a genre swap for the other. I gave 2KSFK the challenge of a comedy-focused, almost petty giant-vs-giant battle with tinies mostly along for the ride. He gave me the challenge of showing an alien giantess rampage from multiple confused, scared, Cloverfield-esque POVs. When commissioning or exchanging work, I usually prefer to somewhat stick to a creator's area of comfort or expertise, to take full advantage of their skillset. But this was, to me, a chance to let loose, and a practice in honing technique in an unfamiliar genre. (And I think it was the same for 2KSFK - we both wrote twice as much as we'd initially agreed, and he really took charge of his story's direction while still being hungry for input.)

As for this story specifically, I had a lot of freedom with the characters, which made getting the right balance between "sexy" and "mysteriously alien" the most interesting hurdle. It was kind of a process of back-and-forth, with one of us suggesting an idea, and the other elaborating from it, or going even further. That kind of iterative collaboration built her lasers, tight suit, hair-tendrils, hypnotic voice, right down to the length of her tongue or nature of her foot sweat. It got to the point that we had to Google each other's terms to understand how her body worked, which I think is a good measure of incomprehensible horror! For the tiny people, 2KSFK gave me some basic blurbs, and I tried to give them more subtle characterization than usual to give them a grounded position in the horror.
