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?

[...what the hell is that kid wearing.

Melissa sees him from the front at first, so the glaring obviousness of the jacket doesn't hit her yet. She just sees some kid in what is possibly the most 80s outfit she's ever seen. And using a map of all things.

Since it hasn't even occurred to her that Karl would have shrunk (again), she'll approach the kid, in uniform so it probably looks just like concern.] You lost? [and what kid has a paper map?]

[Any attention his clothes might be drawing gets completely lost on the poor kid. Finding the hotel takes up all his attention, so much so that he doesn't notice the police officer approach at all. Most importantly, Karl doesn't notice it's an officer when the stranger speaks up. A snort coupled with an eye roll comes at that question.]

No, I just think maps are totally the bomb and read 'em for fun.

[So much sarcasm drips off that because, really, why else would he be looking at a map? Still looking, too. Not worth looking up to deal with this lame-o adult right now.]

[Is it any wonder that she doesn't get on with kids? Especially one that seems... dated. Seriously, no one acted like this even when she was a kid. Is the 80s really coming back in such full force?

With a very flat expression, she reaches out to pull the map down away from the boy's face. She was expecting to make a remark about just pulling up mapquest or something until she gets a look at the kid's face. And holy shit does he look a lot like a certain friend of hers.

So... congrats, Karl. You are facing a very attractive and with actually less of an age difference than normal police officer who looks confused as shit.]

[Woah woah woah, did they just pull down his map? Oh hell no! A nice, colorful shouting is so so close to pouring forth like a little swear river but gets bitten back at the last second at the sight of the uniform. Pretty girl being in it helps, too. Teenage boy can't help but stare. And then promptly blush and quickly look away cause she's staring at him, too. Uh, saying something sounds good, yeah. Insert awkward head scratch.]

Ah, sorry about that, officer. Thought you were some kinda lame adult.

[The sort of apology actually sounds genuine! It's not the voice of a kid scared of cops, but rather a kid who respects them. His tone went from jerk to respectful in 2 seconds flat. Cops are good guys and definitely not being an ass to one. Their jobs are difficult enough without that!]

But yeah, I guess I am. Me and a couple friends came in from Boston. They bolted and left me at some burger joint expecting me to play Degas.

[And by Degas he means de Gama. Genius, isn't he?]

[Luckily, Meliss manages to compose herself while he's talking. This... was not ok. No. At least when Eugen shrunk he didn't start acting like a kid again. And Eugen wasn't a kid from before Melissa was born, either, which helps.]

Boston, huh? [Acting like she'd just been surprised to see him or something (and that she has any idea what he's talking about), Melissa glances down at the map.] Well, I think I see part of your problem. You're not in New York.

[maybe this is just... another of Karl's kids or something. one who looks exactly like him. and is really behind the times. yup. going with this so she doesn't panic.]
