...the thirty something female Prime Minister.
The Brobdingnagian, a woman named Sarah, finishes her chat with the Gulliverian on the coffee table and takes her leave. She walks through the town square, over to a sky tram. The door closes behind her, and she sits on the blue seats as she rides towards a massive structure in the center of town. The enormous mansion, standing at 50 miles tall, is big even to Sarah, who is used to being at the top. Nervous, she notices a stray group of hairs, and reaches up to fix them in place.
The world shifts, as Adam watches the table float away. His view begins swinging back and forth past the titanic woman, as distant booms echo from the abyss below. Adam quickly gets nauseous, but manages to keep hold of the massive thread he is on. After an agonizing minute of swinging, the Brobby sits down again. Vibrations still shake the land underneath him, but nothing like the walking did. Unfortunately, this moment of relief is short-lived. Soon after, Adam's world flips upside down. His view of an endless plain of blue cushions is replaced with a much closer auburn forest of cables, each as wide as a house. The air is filled with the smell of strawberries, a result of the woman's shampoo from that morning. With the sweeping movement of her hand and the sleeve being upside down, Adam finally loses his grip and plummets to the dark forest beneath. He lands near the root of a hair, and takes a moment to catch his breath. Standing up, he watches the hand above him move out of sight, leaving him on the warm head of the massive woman. Sighing to himself, he picks a direction and starts walking.
The tram finishes its journey at a small station on the side of the mansion. As Sarah steps out, she notices the much smaller Gulliverian transits, and can almost make out the even tinier Lilliputian airport. Supposedly this is also where the Microputians arrive, but she'd never be able to see one, even if it was right in front of her! She follows the carefully designated walkway to the entrance. A pair of double doors slide open, and Sarah walks into the only house that could make her feel small. Looking to her left, she sees a properly sized tram, with tracks that follow the walls of the enormous palace about her. She steps inside, and finds a small control panel, with buttons for each room of the mansion. She selects the main office, and takes a seat as the tram follows the spiral staircase up. She pulls out a small computer pad, and reads the latest article in the news.
Adam could tell the woman was walking again: the booms may have been further away, but they were still plenty loud, and still shook him to his core. After a good bit of travel, he finds himself...still in her hair. This woman was bigger than New York: her head could probably house an entire Microputian metropolis. To make matters worse, the ground was covered in a sheen of oil: not enough for her to notice, but enough for Adam to see the puddles and fall down on occasion. A few minutes later, he feels the ground shake again, and the booming stop. He silently rejoiced the newfound silence, until the ground underneath him starts rotating. It's not too long until the floor becomes the wall, and Adam finds himself almost in free fall. Panicking, he reaches for a hair and grabs on. The slick cable slows his fall, but not before he exits the safety of the forest. Now swinging out in the open, he looks to see a monolithic...
