Gyrre:
BenRG; I'm way shorter than Bubbles at 5'5" (165cm)[1] and I don't wear armor. I still intimidate people when I stand up straight because I've got really broad shoulders, a barrel chest, and a generally robust build.[2]
[1] I might be shorter than Claire.
[2] That's not a euphemism. I wear a US men's 10 1/2 6E for my super wide feet.

That's ... not what Axioms are.

Just to be completist: if 2 weeks since "inadvertently" frightened someone, how long since "purposely"? Blocking Roko in the trash can - that was more a prank? The farewell to CorpseWitch - this was intent?
