Honey I Shrunk the Pups Plot

[makes_the_toys]

Around the bar there are now K'nex bridges across some of the wide spaces, and ladders leading up to some of the high places, perfect for any tiny folk who should need to get around. And in one corner of the bar there is a cordoned off section with a very large sign set up that says:

CAUTION: SCIENCE IN ACTION!
watch out for stray shrink rays and beware of the little people

On the other side of the sign (fortunately still full-sized) Cisco has the shrinking machine, or at least what he was able to find and cobble back together of it. On a nearby table he's using as a work space there are extra bits and pieces he hasn't been able to incorporate yet, copious notes and a crazy blue print. The machine itself is standing in a makeshift firing range at the end of which is a roasted chicken in a lab coat propped up on a stool.

Cisco is manning the machine and at his side is Ben the wait rat; the pair of them are wearing goggles and Ben has on a tiny lab coat.

"Okay, Embiggening Protocol test eight commencing in three... two... one."

A brilliant blue beam erupts from the shrinking machine, aimed at the chicken while Cisco and his assistant watch raptly.

The chicken on the stool begins to shake and vibrate, expanding under the ray before finally exploding, spattering an already messy setup backdrop with chicken chunks.

Shutting off the ray Cisco sighs. "Ben, we need another test subject."

While the rat scampers off Cisco starts tweaking the machine.

[ooc: slow, but around all day. ETA: And eep! Edited with a detail I left out, Cisco was lucky enough to escape the shrink ray explosion, so he is still full-sized and right now enjoying being one of the tallest guys in the room.]

Honey I Shrunk the Pups Plot

[fairy_fixit]

Fairy Fixit buzzes down into the bar from her room upstairs and notices...

"The bar looks less crowded than usual today. I wonder why...?"

The blonde womanish looking fairy flicks up and down, this way and that through the air, her plumose antennae bobbing about as she does so. She's small, but she's two feet small, not two inches. She's used to people being unnerved by the sounds of her beating wings, but that's because they think some giant insect is coming for them.

It's only partially true, but she's always ready to avoid a swatting. What she isn't prepared for, though, is finding the missing patrons, shrunk down smaller than her and unnerved by her for ... well, not completely different reasons. Now she's an even bigger flying insect that might bite them!

She can't keep herself from laughing before realizing, "I should help."

[OOC: tag if you want to talk to her before she starts helping with the Shrink Ray]

Garyn couldn't have been in a worse place when the blue flash went off. Granted, there's not really a good place to be shrunk to the size of an action figure, but the blast had caught him on his way out the back door to practice swordsmanship. The first thing he sees as he stumbles to his feet is the enormous door, slowly sealing him off from the inside of the bar.

For the better part of the next day, he's trapped, left to fend for himself among the weeds that now tower over him, armed with a sword the size of a large toothpick. But after biding his time and waiting for the next big person to open the door for him (remaining out of their sight as he does - he'll be damned if he lets someone pick him up and rob him of what dignity he has left), he's finally made his way in, sliding in just as it slams shut behind him.

Garyn slumps his shoulders and exhales. The worst is over now. Now he can rest for a bit before finding help.

He certainly can't think of any reason to look behind him at the moment - particularly not for any large, meowy furry thing that has mistaken him for a small animal that wandered in from outside.

[OOC: First thread is plotlocked to Teja's cats and Ibani. You can catch him while he's still outside if you like, but he'll refuse your help.]
