So tiny!

The Borrowers Meme



It turns out it's not just rats and bugs that live in the walls and under the floors of old houses - there are whole families, societies even, living hidden away from prying human bean eyes. They make and gather the things they need, but sometimes...well, sometimes they need to borrow a few things from their unwitting bean hosts.

Post with your character's name and any preferences you have, including whether you prefer your pup to be a borrower or a bean (presumably if your character is a borrower, this is an AU where they've always been one - though you can always say they've been transformed, too). Feel free to either leave your initial comment blank or to put in a little text showing what sort of thread you have in mind. You can make up your own story, or pick (or have RNG pick for you) from the following scenarios:

1. Borrower Sighting: Now you've done it - you've let a bean see you. What are you going to do about it - and for that matter, what are they going to do about it?

2. Borrower Reunion: Hey, it's tough living spread out among bean houses. Sometimes borrowers need to come together, whether deliberately or by accident along their travels.

3. I'm Not Crazy: One (or both) of you is a bean who knows the truth - but no one believes them! Cue the search for proof!

4. Borrower City: Some places - bean shopping malls, for instance - are able to support lots and lots of borrowers, rather than the usual single family per bean house.

5. Animal Attack: The trouble with being so tiny is that even a rat can be a fearsome enemy.

6. Moving Day: You can't stay where you've been living, or you've chosen to move in with some other borrowers. Either way, moving day poses peculiar challenges to borrowers.

7. Life in the Great Outdoors: Forget depending on beans. You live wild and free, even if that means smelling manky and eating bugs.

8. Mix and match/make up your own.

[It hadn't sounded like the new group of beans had been searching for him, but this one was far too close to finding him regardless for Wufei's comfort. And then there came the sound of his shelter roof moving.

Wufei made a break for it before it could be lifted all the way off, hoping that he was still oriented the direction of his climbing rope and not running for a dead end ledge. But anything had to be better than being caught.]
