smk_network | Honey I shrunk the apprentices!

mrsbrisby posting in

I think I have this figured out now. Mostly...

[ She added while adjusting the small mouse sized mirror on a stone so it would be propped upright enough to show what she was talking about then she paced over to stand next to a large acorn. ]

Its Wish magic so all I really have to do is wish for it hard enough and I should be able to make this acorn small enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

[ That said she closed her eyes and held out a paw which began to glow as she made her wish. When her eyes fluttered open again she was indeed holding the now much smaller acorn in her paw. ]

It worked! I mean... I-- I thought it would. I've been practicing this a lot lately and...

[ Just spit it out, she told herself with a deep steadying breath. ]

Would anyone out there feel brave enough to volunteer to be shrunk yourself?

Definitely! And at least this time I won't be in danger of being eaten by a snake.

[She smiles]

Yeah. You in your place now?

[She tried not to bother Mrs. Brisby if she was in her little apartment with the door closed. Everyone needed their personal space, after all.]

From:

mrsbrisby

Not yet. I was in the castle garden. It felt like a safer place for magic training.

But, how about we meet up in the sitting room? It shouldn't take me too long to get back there. We could have lunch together.

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Probably a good idea. Less risk of shit blowing up out there.

[She speaks from experience...]

Sure! I can throw something together if you want. I can't promise gourmet but it'll at least be edible.

From:

mrsbrisby

Or crushing anyone.

[ Mrs. Brisby said quietly with a small sigh of failure and with a quick glance over her shoulder towards a giant skyscraper sized acorn. Not every experiment had gone well. ]

I'm sure anything you come up with would be fine, even if it's only a crumb of something. It's been a rather tiring day.
I will be back as soon as I can.

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Yikes. Yeah, one Alice in Wonderland impersonation is enough for me.

[She gives her roomie a sympathetic wince.]

I'll be ready by the time you get here.

Taking the by now well established mouse trail between the castle and the apartment building Mrs. Brisby arrived in almost no time at all. She squished low and squirmed her way under the apartment door, because it was so much easier than trying to open the large thing. She then followed her nose towards the scent of lunch.

"Eleanor, I'm back!"

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Eleanor made a mental note to try to wish up a mouse sized door in their door for Mrs. Brisby so she didn't have to squeeze underneath.

It wasn't much, but Eleanor had heated up some tomato soup and made grilled cheese sandwiches. She had mouse-sized dishes set out for Mrs. Brisby with a proper portion set out.

"Hey! Welcome home."

From:

mrsbrisby

One day this apartment was going to be entirely mouse friendly and then where would the challenge be? She climber her way up to the table top and took her place by the appropriately sized dinnerware.

"Mmm, everything smells wonderful! Especially the cheese sandwich."

It might have been a little stereotypical 'mouse' to admit that but cheese was really good and not something they have too much of living out in the fields.

"I thought well, after lunch, I might try shrinking you? If you are still willing to try that is. It worked really well for Webby."

Not so well for some others...

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Eh there were enough challenges outside. One's home should be challenge free.

Eleanor smiled at the compliment. "Hey thanks! It's not much, but it does the trick."

She was stirring her soup a little to try to cool it off. There wasn't much she could cook but comfort food she could manage.

"that sounds great! I'm super excited about this... And I never thought I'd say that about being shrunk." She laughed.

From:

mrsbrisby

"Especially to a talking mouse."

She added ever so helpfully before tucking into her own meal, nibbling along the edge of her cheese sandwich so that not a single crumb of it went to waste.

"Richie brought up an interesting problem... I was able to shrink him but not what he was wearing."

Now how excited were you to try?

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Eleanor snorted, nearly spitting out a mouthful of soup. She gaped at Mrs. Brisby for a moment.

"Seriously? Dude that's crazy! See, that's why you experiment on other people first."

She was only teasing, of course. But she gave her roomie an encouraging smile.

From:

mrsbrisby

It hadn't seemed very funny at the time but in hindsight? Poor Richie had seemed so... surprised! Mrs. Brisby tried not to laugh and a paw came up to press the giggle back but it eventually broke through.

"I didn't have that problem with the acorns!"

From:

az_shrimp_horny

She waved a hand, grinning at Mrs. Brisby. "Don't worry about it, he's seen worse. Did he tell you about the time he got turned into a sandwich?"

Seriously. She both wished she'd seen that and was happy she hadn't. It was a very conflicting feeling.

"Hey, I trust you. And if anything goes weird we can fix it."

From:

mrsbrisby

"Oh yes, when the witches were here. I didn't see him then either but I did hear about it. I am glad nothing as bad as that happened."

But she was just a touch worried about it now until Eleanor's kind reassurance that nothing that was done couldn't be undone. She was given a smile as the little mouse finished off her meal.

"In that case, I think I am ready to try whenever you are."

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Oh hey yeah change of topic away from the witches. Yes good. Eleanor nodded and grinned, "Hell yeah! Let's do this!"

She stood, moving away from any furniture. If she was going to shrink she didn't want to be stuck on a chair.

From:

mrsbrisby

The little mouse padded close to the edge of the table herself. She rubbed her paws together and gave a little warning before closing her eyes.

"Alright, here goes nothing."

She wished really long and hard, trying to imagine Eleanor and her clothing... not to make the same mistake twice... getting smaller and smaller.

From:

az_shrimp_horny

All that practice paid off! It took a moment, but Eleanor (and her clothes) began to shrink. "Whoa!" She gasped in surprise as the world of the apartment got bigger and bigger. It was definitely a slower process than the last time she was shrank but it still worked.

Almost perfectly...

She ended up a little smaller than Mrs. Brisby. Probably a little smaller than was intended. But still! There was a teeny, fully clothed, Eleanor standing on the floor grinning up at her roommate.

"You did it!"

From:

mrsbrisby

"Whoa..."

Taking two meals she bounced to the edge of the table and flinging tight to the top, peered over the edge and down at Eleanor.

"Do you feel alright? No dizziness?"

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Eleanor blinked, looking around at their apartment. It was so trippy seeing things from this angle.

"A little? But no more than I would be after a couple rounds of shots. Dude, under the couch is nasty!"

From:

mrsbrisby

The couch... oh yes, but she had been too polite to say anything about that.

"It is like a land where missing things go. There is a sock under there that's new. It only appeared this morning."

But under the sofa wasn't such a terrible place when compared to...

"You really don't want to look under the stove."

From:

az_shrimp_horny

She winced, "Yikes. Sorry about that. The couch I can clean... I don't know what the fuck to do about the stove."

But she laughed, gesturing to Mrs. Brisby, "But there are more important things like giving you a proper hug!"

From:

mrsbrisby

"Now that is something you don't have to say twice!"

She hurried over, wrapping Eleanor in the warmest mouse hug she could ever be cuddled up in.

From:

az_shrimp_horny

Eleanor happily hugged Mrs. Brisby back, burying her face in her fur. It was a little weird, sure, but it was a long time coming.

She might be getting a little teary eyed... wait. No. That's a lie. Fuck you, she's not getting emotional about this.
