THE BITTY MEME

THE BITTY MEME

1.) Post with you character as if they were younger/a child! (If you already play a child, either make them tinier or age them up! We're gonna need some adults in here.)
2.) Tag around to either take care of the newly small people or make lots of tiny friends!
3.) ???
4.) PROFIT or just adorable. That's profit right?

[How is Karl 15 when Danny is 29? Does Danny's old CR with the adult Karl still hold? Has he been pulled into the past to see this kid version? The answer to all these questions is SHUT UP AND ROLL WITH IT.

Which Danny does, walking down the street pretty casually. He raises his eyebrows when he passes by some kid dressed like he walked out of a time capsule from the 80s (or what he assumes the 80s were like) using an honest to god paper map. Danny hasn't seen one of those since he was maybe six or so. It takes all his energy not to laugh at everything about the kid, and he fully intends to hold it in until he's walked well past him.

It doesn't work, because just as he passes him, he notices the leather jacket. What really grabs him are the tassels and the rhinestones, and how eerily familiar they are.

He backtracks a few steps, standing in front of the kid.]


Hey, you need any help getting somewhere? It doesn't look like that [he points to the big, messy paper map in Karl's hands] is all that useful.

[ROLLING WITH IT LIKE A TRAIN. A SOUL TRAIN. Some guy coming over to help had to be a godsend. What is a teenage boy asking for help himself? Never happening, not in a million years. That last part makes it less godly and gets a nice groan in reply, though. Any more obvious comments you wanna make there, Einstein?]

Tell me about it.

[They need to invent like maps that actually show you where to go! Or tell you if you're going the right way!! Sigh, that probably won't happen any time soon. Or ever. Whatever, this old guy offered to help so maybe he'd know where that stupid hotel is all.]

Do you know where the... uh...

[A long, hard silence follows as Karl realizes getting the name of the hotel never really occurred to him. Whoops. He runs a hand through his hair out of pure annoyance.]

The hell was it called...

[Face gets buried in map once more to try to find the place. Okay, 5th Avenue is here so the hotel should be around there... It started with a V? No no, wait W! YEAH and it sounded like some sort of perfume. OH THERE IT IS!!]

Oh, yeah! The Waldorf Astoria is at?

The Waldorf Astoria?

[Danny doesn't even have to pull out his phone and check what that is, because he already recognizes it as a hotel in New York from his year of college there before he decided to come back home.]

You're in the wrong city for that. You're in the wrong state--this isn't New York. You're in Locke City, New Jersey.

[...and just because he can't resist: ]

You'd probably have known that if you were using a GPS instead of that. [He points to the map again.]
flamberge: (hope -- mind repeating that?)

[That catches Karl's attention. His head instantly snaps up to just stare at the guy as though he grew another head.]

Dude, for real? New Jersey? When the hell did I get to New Jersey?

[Insert ultimate teenager groan here. It isn't THAT far from New York but... did he really walk that far? Do people just walk differently when reading maps?? Great, problem of where he is down, problem of how to get back left. Maybe calling a cab? Or just walking since it didn't take that long?

Wait, what the hell is the guy talking about? GP... A jeep? Why did he say that so weird? Do all people in New Jersey talk like this? Seriously weird.]


And yeah, a Jeep would've been way more helpful than a map, but I don't carry around one of those in my pocket.

A Jeep? No, no, that's not--[sigh] Okay, I have no idea how a kid misses New York by an entire state, but here's what. I'll help you get back to New York, alright? No charge, I'll even buy the ticket, if you don't have any cash on you.

[If it sounds like there's a catch, that's because there is.]
