Time to feel a little small

[stockingfeats]

TINY MEME
Time to try a new perspective! This is a meme inspired by things from our childhood like The Borrowers, Thumbelina, fairy stories, The Littles, and more! Your character is very very small and the world is very very big.

1. Maybe you drank whatever was in that suspiciously-labeled bottle or found yourself wrapped-up in some other magical shenanigan. Whatever happened, now you are tiny!
2. Rodents of...perfectly average size. A common creature who is barely noticed by normal humans is suddenly attacking!
3. You've been captured! Whether by a deadly spider or a curious Big Person, it's time to use your wits to get out of this situation or rescue your friend!
4. Foraging! You're low on supplies. Time to go out into the big, big world.
5. "You're...like me!" You thought you were the last, but suddenly you've found someone else your size!
6. Find shelter! There's a storm, your original home has been destroyed, or maybe it's just time for a change of scenery.
7. Stealth mission! Whatever you do, don't get caught!
8. The first meeting. You've had your suspicions. You thought you were crazy, but now you've found them! There's been a tiny person living in your home all this time!
9. Part of your world. You've invited someone to meet you eye-to eye. Creep through the mouse hole or walk among giants!
10. Just because you're small doesn't mean you can't help out in a big way. A normal-sized person is in trouble. Use your unique perspective to get them out of it!

It's not so much that I hate humans, but you lot can be very dangerous to my kind. You're a lot bigger than us, after all.

Those pokemon too. Though I don't mind some of the smaller ones.

... then, we're more alike than I thought! I never hated them either. I was just scared to touch them.

I think I understand... it must be scary to be around someone so much bigger, not knowing if they'll be kind or not... especially if some even tried to trap you before.

[english_dignity]

You get used to it, I suppose. There really isn't much of a choice otherwise.

[He hauled the cup of tea back into his arms, tipping it veeery carefully to take a drink.]

Now, if they made smaller pokeballs, maybe things would be a bit different.

[timidlyblooming]

You know, I have a friend who’s an inventor… and pokeballs can shrink… I wonder if he can try and make pokeballs that open and function in that shrunken state someday? Maybe we can work on making them together!

[As an example, Lillie brought out a shrunken pokeball… in her hands, it fit between her fingers, about the size of a hazelnut.]

[english_dignity]

They'd sure come in handy. If I had a group of those to keep me safe, I wouldn't have to hide in houses so much.

[Still a bit big at that size to carry the six he saw some humans keep, but one or two could fit in his bag.]

[timidlyblooming]

It does sound helpful.. you could maybe even ride some Pokemon that are a bit bigger than you.

Oh, speaking of houses… I’ll go get the teacups.

Goodbye, Arthur.
[Just in case he’s not there when she comes back.]

[english_dignity]

Most of them are!

[He gets up to his feet, giving her a little wave while his hands are free.]

Just put them behind the flour when you come back.

And... thank you for the tea.

[timidlyblooming]

I will.

[He’s so grateful, she’s touched too!]

You’re welcome.

That’s very sweet … coming from you. [Lightly teasing, but in a loving manner, really!

Lillie turned to quietly leave.]
