THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MEME

Probably the most self-explanatory meme. You know. You got a shrinking laser to the chest, you found a bottle labeled "DRINK ME", you got exposed to chemicals. Or maybe you're Ray Palmer and its Tuesday.

Either way, you've now got some huge problems to overcome. If you'll pardon the pun.


RULES

~Comment to this post. Your character is now of a much more miniscule height.
~Characters who respond have the choice either be fellow bedbugs, or newly-sworn-in citizens of the Land of the Giants.
~Roll for an RNG scenario or make your own scenarios. But honestly, its no big deal to us~
~Not that we anticipate it, but we may as well include the obligatory. Violence, injury, death, cannibalism, sex, and swearing or just plain you-don't-like-the-concept-of-shrinking is possible in this meme, so be warned, there may be possible triggers.



POSSIBLE PROMPTS

1. Suddenly Small: Well, that was abrupt. Wait, when did the floor tile become so huge? When did the chair turn into Mount Everest!? WHEN DID FLUFFY GET LIKE THAT!? Oh shi-

2. He Can't Hear Us: HEY! HEY!! DOWN HERE!! DOWN HERE, I'M RIGHT HERE!! HEY!! Come on, I'm trying to get your attention!! No I'm not a bug, it's me!! HOW DO I GET YOUR ATTENTION ALREADY!?

3. The Exotic Backyard Death Trap: Its amazing how size can change one's surroundings and the danger it poses. Seriously, who would have thought your bedroom was actually a trap-infested swamp of terror that is trying to kill you in a million ways?

4. Stuck in a Cobweb: Because someone is always getting stuck in a cobweb with a giant, hungry spider bearing down on them. Or getting washed away by a puddle, or trapped in or on something that they need rescuing from, because what are survival skills when you're an inch or so tall. A little help, please?

5. Attack of the Giants: WELP someone is about to get eaten by someone normal-sized. Or stepped on. Or vacuumed up into a Dirt Devil. You can try to get said person's attention. Or try to save yourself. Or try to run the hell away. Or give up, but you've gotten so far!

6. I Shall Call Him George: There are tons of bugs and animals crawling around when you're tiny. So, what's the logical thing to do when faced with one? Mount it and tame it to be your pimping ride, of course! Your friends would be so jealous of you right now if you were visible to the naked eye.

7. Hey Look Mom I Am Totally A Bug: Finally, finally, someone spots you! It took them long enough to figure out you didn't spontaneously combust or hitchhike to Myanmar or whatever it is they thought you did. And...wait, did they even notice you were missing until now?!

7. Normal Sized: Does this need explanation?! YOU'RE BACK TO NORMAL SIZE! WOOO! Now you can reflect on what you learned from your experience...if...you're the type of person who actually learns from your experience. You could also just punch the person who invented the apparatus which shrunk you to begin with. Hey, we won't judge.

8. Wild Card: Mix, match, or make up your own scenario!

[Really the main question here is "what the hell?" One minute it's life as usual, the next he's trying to work out a massive shift in perspective, and no matter how brilliant you are, try parsing an automobile tire the relative size of the Empire State Building into your overall concept of reality.]

[Craning his neck back to look up at the robot, he is feeling distinctly irritable.]

And what the hell do you think you're doing?

Why are you zapping anyone? And what are you?

I'M A ROBOT? AND LOOK, I AM REALLY SORRY. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TRYING TO GET THE FAT GUY THAT JUST RAN OFF. HE'S FROM MY PLANET.
