The Sinking Feeling You Get When You Eat Magic Food

Welcome meatship crewmembers to the instrument of pure silly.

It had been a long period of waiting, but a prank was about to be issued after these dire dark times. As such, tables were set up around the WITCH Bus and other locations, unmanned stands where Lemonade and Brownies were available with the compliments of your friendly companions.

Do you dare risk chocolately goodness or sour-sweetness to discover it's dark delicious secrets?

(ooc: tag around, bug others and feel free to continue to madness. IC duration is about a day. Unless you deliberately take more with you. As a reminder, Lemonade brings you up ages to a good looking adultish level. Brownies turn you into kids. GO NUTS. Refer to the ooc post for details and ask questions there.)

"Hey..." Tavros bunches a little defensively in the seat of his wheelchair. "I'm still, me, okay? All trolls, um, start life as larvae. I think, I even told you that."

He's not as shocked by his appearance as others would be, once you got past the "OH GOD WHAT I'M SMALL AGAIN" that every brownie victim was having. But it sure does suck not having arms anymore, and he's still having a private moment of worry that Alex's laughter isn't helping. How the hell is he supposed to get around now?

Alex sees the same issue and recovers from his laughter, walking over to the wheel chair. "I c-can push you, I g-guess. A-are you okay otherwise?"

He walks over and it soon becomes obvious that he can just see over the top of the wheel chair, if just barely. "B-besides, dude, I'd be laughing e-even if y-you were a mini version of n-normal you!"

"At least the brownie tasted good!"

The thought of being a miniature version of himself the way humans are is admittedly pretty funny to Tavros, and he grins a little. Alex may have noticed by now that Tavros has always turned down offers to be pushed and gotten a bit upset by ruder crew members steering him out of their way. Not that he'd speak up or anything. But he dislikes other people messing with his chair.

But he nods this time and turns in the seat to face Alex. "Um, sure. I'm okay, except for being little again. ...are you? And, um, are you sure you can see?"

Alex had, and had never offered to push Tavros himself. He didn't get why other people did. Tavros made his way around just fine without help.

But this was a bit of a different circumstance. "I... Er, I jus' n-need ta find n-new pants... The pair I had, w-well, they didn' exactly fit..." He turned rather red, going behind the chair. "W-where do y-you think we should go? M-medical?"

Yeah, pushing this around was going to get to be a problem rather fast.

Well, normally Tavros could get around without help. For now, however, he'd probably be better off scuttling around on his own or being carried. At least he has four working limbs ~~out of six~~ again!

He watches Alex vanish behind the chair and turns a bit brown(er) himself.

"Uhh... maybe, we should go back to the room, and get you, some new pants. Or, you could ask Stacy?"

He begins pushing the chair towards their room, "I'm not asking the ship!"

*THUD*

Yeah, he already ran the arm of the chair into the table, making things clatter, but mercifully nothing spilled. He rushed around to check on Tavros, "I-I'm so s-sorry! M-maybe that's n-not the b-best of ideas..."

"But, maybe she c--watch out!"

*THUD*

Tavros makes a funny squeak and huddles up in the chair on impact. Luckily, he wasn't thrown off. He blinks up at Alex as he runs back around.

"Yeah, uh... maybe we can, uh, get you some pants, first thing. Then figure out, how to reverse this age thing, and then, come back for the chair?"

Alex picks Tavros up. "W-well, the tailor, i-in the city... she makes things p-pretty fast... C-can you, erm, walk? I c-can c-carry you instead..."

Tavros looks up uncertainly as he's lifted. Not that he's not okay with it, but Alex IS smaller and was never strong even before the age regression thing.

"Are you sure, I'm not too heavy? Because, uh, I could wait here, or, go back to the room or something."

Having back legs that don't work is still going to slow him down quite a bit, but it's less of a problem in this form. He can move on his own, just nowhere near Alex's pace.

Alex smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. I c-can manage." He gently re-adjusts Tavros in his arms so that he's holding Tavros a bit like a teddy bear in his arms.

"A-are you comfortable?" He began making his way to the city so that perhaps they could find the clothiers, and he could get some pants.

Tavros sits still in Alex's arms. It's a bit of a squish, but he's a little surprised Alex can carry him at all. The least he can do is sit quietly and make things easier.

"Yeah, uh, I'm okay. Uh, I'm not, poking you with my horns or anything, am I? It's, hard for me to tell sometimes."

"You're fine! L-let's find Rein." Yeah, he was managing to carry Tavros, but he was already getting tired. It didn't help that Alice climbed down to his arms and began sniffing at Tavros.

"Okay, uh, let me know, if I'm too heavy or something. So, who's Rein?"

Tavros smiles at Alice. She's a little baby too! He has to admit, she's really damn cute.

She seemed to realize it was Tavros too, as she began gently grooming at the base of his horns, careful to not actually bite the skin.

"Rein, sh-she makes n-normal clothes, s-so you don' haveta wear the plant-suit."

He laughs a little at Alice's grooming, but makes himself hold still.

"Whoa, um, really? I didn't know, there were people on the ship who did that. Uh, do you think, she'd make something for me too?"

A pause.

"Um, I mean, me as I normally am. Not me at, this stage."

Alex laughs and re-adujusts Tavros, "I'm s-sure she c-could, n-no problem! When we're b-back ta normal, we c-can visit her a-again."

"I don't really, um, have any way to pay her for her trouble, though..."

This is such a weird situation. He really hopes this isn't some time-lapse de-ager that's going to suddenly leave him someplace far from his chair.

Oh well. All he can do is stick with Alex for the time being.

Alex was hoping the same thing, except concerning pants.

"Oh, she j-jus' asked me ta t-tell other people about th-the place, since there's r-really no economy on the ship. Sh-she's really nice."

"That's good to know."

Pause.

"Is it much farther? Not that, uh, I mean to sound impatient or anything, but you probably won't be able to carry me all the way, if it's across the city."

"Is the way I'm h-holding you uncomfortable?" It wasn't too far.

"No, not at all." It's true, he's totally fine. Just maybe a little self-conscious about being carried.

Alex felt a little weird carrying his best friend like this.

"You kn-know, while we're like this, w-we should take advantage of it, an' do something... er, fun."

Moving slowly to avoid dislodging Alice, Tavros glances up uncertainly.

"Uhh... what exactly, did you have in mind?"

Alex was silent as he thought for a moment. "I dunno... M-maybe try ta s-scare the girls, or something..."

He was trying to think back on pranks that kids would play.

"People aren't scared of us, um, at all, when we're our right ages. What makes you think, anyone here will be scared of a couple of little kids?"
