Ninth Breeze

[salvagedlight]

Wait... we're back to - YES!

[Considering he'd gone to sleep with leaves for ears and woken up with hands, Ven could probably be forgiven for celebrating being back in his own body. Sure he could handle being in others, but this was his, and he started to climb out of bed-]

Whooooaaaaaaaa!

[-only to fall over the edge of the bed. He only saved himself from going splat on the ground by grabbing onto the blankets and clinging like crazy. It works, but he's danging above the ground, three inches tall and in his PJs (which, fortunately, are covering enough to function as street clothes), and he's only got one thought on his mind.]

Not again!

[She smiles.]

Good. Then you can keep to it until you're back to your old size.

[Now to hunt for shoes. She heads over to the costumes.]

[salvagedlight]

[Ven, meanwhile, heads over in the direction of a dollhouse he sees. He's small enough, right? Maybe there'll be clothes in there.]

Hey Naminé - what do you think they're doing to us this week, if they're shrinking some of us?

[colorbymemory]

[Good idea.

At the question, Nami looks up from the pile of costumes.]

I'm not sure--I know it must have something to do with the riff, or be connected to the other strange things happening, but that's about all I can guess.

[salvagedlight]

It all seems so random, though. I mean, nothing seems connected.

[And he'll dive into the dollhouse to look.]

[colorbymemory]

I think sometimes we don't see the connections, but some of the others do. Harvey knew that what we turned into last week were called Pokemon, right?

[Found some tiny clothes! Aside from shoes, she brings over a couple of different outfits in case he wants to wear something besides pajamas.]

[salvagedlight]

[Yes, yes he does. Not that his pajamas aren't comfortable and all, but he wants to wear other things.]

Yeah, but that was just one thing. This... is... inconvenient, but doesn't seem to have any sort of end point.

[And he gives up on the dollhouse. It's just full of plastic furniture.]

[colorbymemory]

[Okay, she'll just carefully hand them to him. If he wants to change now, privacy can be arranged.]

Maybe we'll learn more by the end of the week. That's been happening a lot lately.

[Yeah, it's a nice dollhouse, but there's not a lot in besides furniture and dolls.]

[salvagedlight]

[Also, the dolls are creepy. This up close their frozen expressions are just weird.]

Yeah, maybe. [And he'll accept the clothing, starting to look through it - none of it is of very good quality, considering it's made for dolls, but it should work well enough.] Guess I should try these on before I take them back to my room. Ummm...

[He looks around for a moment, then ducks back into the dollhouse to change.]

[colorbymemory]

[She hand't even thought of that, but yeah, they are kind of creepy.

She waits as he finds a place to change in privacy.]

Does everything fit okay?

[salvagedlight]

[And he'll come back out a few minutes later in a blue shirt, black pants, and actual shoes. He has no idea how they were made, but you know what, who cares, because they work.]

Good enough - I think I'll be okay until this all wears off.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine doesn't know much about making doll clothes, either, butthe important thing is that Ven isn't stuck wearing pajamas and barefoot all week.]

Good.

[She pull out some string and the popsicle sticks.]

Want to help make ladders?
