Tiny Person meme


For all the scenarios in which one person can fit in the palm of another.
HOW TO PLAY:
1: Post with your characters. Indicate preferred scenarios, if you like, or things you'd rather not play out.
2: Tag around. TAG AROUND.
3: Be tiny!
WHY ARE YOU SO TINY?
1: Lilliputians: You come from a land far away where things aren't the weird sizes they are here. Whether you're a strange tiny person that's been captured after washing up on shore or you're a large person shipwrecked in the land of the little people, there's some serious foreign disorientation here.
2: Borrowers: What do you mean? We've always been here. Tiny, and living just below your nose. In your walls. Taking your food. Yes, congratulations, you've finally solved the mystery of where your spare socks go in the laundry.
3: Honey I got unexpectedly shrunk: That shrink-ray was going to be totally awesome until you accidentally pointed at yourself/someone you care about. Alternatively, this is just generally a science experiment gone terribly wrong.
4: Fee fi fo fum: You live in a fantasy-style world where there happen to be giants and normal-sized people. Or normal-sized people and these weird tiny things that are so easy to step on. Your pick. (Fairies and wee free men are valid options.)
5: Other: For anything else you'd like to play out.
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? (optional scenarios)
1: Discovery! You've been found out! Captured! Either the little people have you elaborately restrained or the big people have you in a box. Hopefully your captors would rather make money off of you than do science experiments...
2: War! Okay, so we might be a little outmatched, but for whatever reason, there's war. The little people and the giants are trying to fight it out, and you're caught in the middle.
3: An Unlikely Friendship! Just because one of you is very small doesn't mean that you can't be bros. Maybe you can make awesome dollhouses together.
4: …Romance? Okay, no, we can make this work! …maybe.
5: And They Fight Crime! Congratulations, you're in a sitcom. What hijinks can you roommates get up to, when one can literally step on the other?
6: Culture Clash! In this modern world, you have to respect everyone, no matter how small. And you have to respect the boundaries of their culture. So what happens when a treaty needs to be negotiated? Or a murder solved, between the small and the large people? Well, just be sure you've brushed up on sensitivity training and you know not to refer to them by any offensive terms. And remember that the workplace must be accessible to people of all sizes!
7: Just Visiting. Tourism can be fun, as long as you can fit into the buildings you'd like to see.
8: Subjugation. One group is enslaved by the other group, for whatever reason. (Giants make good transportation? Tiny people make good spies/messengers?) Maybe you want to escape, or lead a rebellion, or form a friendship across the lines of small and large.
9: Other. Any scenario you can think up!
