THE TINY MEME

[forsocksake]

THE TINY PERSON (probably AU) 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!

[If there ever was a guy with the attitude to be a giant...]

Gareth Gippart | OC | OTA

[techietrader]

[Prefer to be the smaller one.]

Hank Pym | Marvel | OTA

[formicidae]

[Would prefer to be the small party here. Canonically the reasoning for his smallness would be 3 but I can roll with any prompt. Open to gen and shipping.]

Lockdown | Transformers Animated | OTA

[ruthless_hunter]

[He's a transformer so him being the big guy goes without saying]

Homura Akemi | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[gunmetalmagica]

[ Either party works. ]

Clint Barton/Hawkeye | MCU

[eyeofthehawk]

[Most likely the one being shrunk, either by Tony Stark or Scott Lang.]

[tic_tac]

[I know you said most likely, but I'll bet Scott's been shrunk around Clint on purpose before. Wanna do something with that?]

[eyeofthehawk]

[Did you forget about the whole fight scene at the airport in Civil War? Of course Scott's been shrunk around Clint but the reason I mentioned him was because of how they interact in the cartoon series. Not that I don't want to do something with movie Scott, loved tagging with you before.]

Scott Lang | Marvel Cinematic Universe | OTA

[tic_tac]

[Probably the tiny one.]

[lastproject]

((Clint using tiny Scott as target practice-- I mean sparring partner?))

[tic_tac]

[Fine by me!]

[lastproject]

Aim. Pull. Release. The motion is fluid and fast as Clint reaches for yet another arrow. He's intentionally missing but it's probably hard to tell for Scott as they whizz past him.

"You're not trying," he remarks as he shifts positions, eagle eyes tracking the ant-sized man as he crosses the training room terrain littered with sand bags and, yes, even children's alphabet toy blocks.

[tic_tac]

"Like hell am I not even trying!" Comes the voice through the radio channel, sounding incredibly pissed off. "And this isn't what I had in mind when you said 'target practice'."

He's running, ducking, moving around, but he can't seem to shake Clint's sight. He needed a distraction so he can get to cover and start gaining ground back.

[lastproject]

Another arrow with a suction cupped tip sticks to the ground next to Scott.

"I could close my eyes and count to 10." He won't but, really, Scott needs the training, even if all Clint wants to do is wash his hands of this life.

[tic_tac]

Scott skids to a stop just before running into it, swearing loudly after making sure the radio wasn't open.

"Oh, no, don't let me interrupt whatever kick you get outta this."

Suction cups or not... If one of those hits, it's going to hurt. Right. Distraction time.

He starts off running, heading towards one of those blocks, taking out a growth disk. Sure, Clint's eyesight is sharp enough to see him running, but he hopes it isn't sharp enough to see this.

He throws the disk at the block, hitting the button to trigger it suddenly popping up about ten times it's size. The second it does, Scott ducks and weaves behind a sandbag, hoping the distraction was enough to lose the big guy's eye.

[lastproject]

Clint would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying this. It's something he enjoyed when he was still a SHIELD agent, pushing rookies into corners to see how they react, the creative solutions they come up with.

He notices Scott's movements but he doesn't see the disk. The sudden growth of the block stops him mid-draw as he steps back to avoid being shoved back. It's a split second of distraction but enough time for the smaller Avenger to disappear from sight.

"Not bad," he says, lowering his bow and arrow though still keeping them in the ready position. His eyes scan the room as he talks. "My son needs that back in compact size by the way."

[tic_tac]

Scott is keeping deathly still, he's not even going to respond on the radio. He's even, illogically, holding his breath.

Because, let's be real, now that he wasn't focusing on running, he's just realised how fucking huge Clint is. He tries not to think about it, but when you have something that big actively hunting you?

...It kinda hammers it home.

[lastproject]

Clint lets the silence linger for a minute or two.

"You took down Sam at that size. What are you afraid of?" He asks casually, not letting his guard down despite his posture.

[tic_tac]

Because with Sam, the adrenaline was pumping, and Sam doesn't have Clint's eyes. That's what's giving Scott cause for concern this time.

Nope. He's going to sit here and wait it out, Barton. Nothing you can do about it... besides going full godzilla on the surroundings

[lastproject]

"You had your chance." And he started walking, headed in the direction where Scott was last seen. Each step probably made the earth shake in Scott's world and he was taking his time, eyes scanning every nook and cranny as he peered behind the enlarged toy block, idly touching the disc attached to it.

[tic_tac]

The earth shaking is an understatement. From his hiding spot, Scott watches Clint get closer... and closer... And bigger.

Jackpot. He's still distracted by the toy block, that he's not paying attention to the sandbag to his left. Scott decides to try something risky. He abandons cover, making a beeline straight for Clint's left boot.

[lastproject]

Clint is briefly wondering if he'd be able to disable it or yank it free. By the time he catches sight of the small movement in the corner of his eyes, Scott would have already reached his target. He turns none-the-less, ready to bend down to swipe at the smaller man.

[ flufficer is the humanised version, if you'd rather have a thread with that. Either role is fine. ]

[ooc: Prefer to be the small, but willing to be either. Most scenarios rock.]

[ooc: Not really big person little person so to speak, but... Big dragon, little knight? I do have other characters, but I can't help but giggle at the thought of Arthur meeting a dragon. XD]
