Small And Up Side Down [Naminé, Open]

[rosso]

Rosso walked through the corridor of darkness as she saw an exit. She walked towards the light as she saw that the wall was right in front of the exit, "bad placing of portals," she came through the portal and moved around it,but the portal already started disappearing behind her back. "Much better," Rosso turned around and saw that the other wall wasn't far away and noticed some things below her... Lamps? She looked confused around, there was a small door up-side-down above her head. The whole room was up-side-down and looked very small. On the ceiling there was a chair and a table and on the table two bottles.

Rosso sighed and looked if there was any exits or anything, but didn't find much. "What is this place?" She grabbed the chair from the ceiling and noticed the gravity on the chair was up-side-down. "I just ended up in the weirdest place ever, didn't I?" She grabbed the two bottles above her and looked at them, there was no information on them and she sighed. "What could be in these? And how does someone drink it up-side-down?" She put the bottles back, all irritated, the then crouched down and looked around, but didn't see much of an exits, except small ones. "Did I end up in a mouse-hole? What is this place?"

[namine]

From somewhere above Rosso the Crimson, a smaller person who actually was the right size for living in such a small room, stood up-side-down above the woman's head. The normally petite girl looked doll sized in comparison to the female who seemed to fill up most of the space with her current overgrown form. A second blonde-haired, blue-eyed curious girl roaming this place it seemed. Except, Naminé wasn't lost.

At least, she didn't think she was...

It didn't really matter. She'd found this place to be wacky and entertaining so far and had worn a sheer smile on her face since she'd arrived. She'd also secretly hoped she might meet the famous Cheshire Cat and be able to listen to his riddles, but hadn't been so lucky yet. However, she'd met some interesting characters who'd offered her tea and forced her to dress up, making idle, odd conversations all the while.

Currently, along with her white dress and pale blue sandals, she donned bright blue cuffs and a large white top-hat with blue polka dots on it that was much too big for her and tilted to the side. She didn't have the heart to refuse the strange but kind gentleman who'd put it on her. Well, she literally didn't have a heart either, but..

She shook her head, walking directly towards Rosso's face, still up-side-down on the floor in Rosso's view and stopped in front of her, peering down into her large red eyes kindly.

"Hello. I couldn't help but over hear. You're actually in some place called Wonderland. Where everything is possible, and nothing is as it seems." To someone who had known her, Kairi's obvious mischief could easily be seen shining through in both Naminé's voice and expression. It was a rare thing to see with the normally melacnholy or thoughtful girl, but some were lucky enough to catch it when she was in awe of new worlds like this.

"If you'd like to shrink back to regular size you should take that bottle there." She gestured towards the correct one, the smile ever-present on her face as she took another sip of tea. It was so fun to pretend and dream you were someone else sometimes...

[rosso]

Rosso noticed a small girl in strange closed walking to her, her first thought was: she ended up with gnomes, but then the girl spoke. "Hello. I couldn't help but over hear. You're actually in some place called Wonderland. Where everything is possible, and nothing is as it seemed." She looked confused at the tiny girl. "And how do I walk on the floor instead of the ceiling?"

The girl was smiling at Rosso and Rosso looked confused back. "If you'd like to shrink back to regular size you should take that bottle there." Rosso looked confused at the bottles. "How am I gonna drink it? I need to stand the same way as you are before I can drink them up-side-down." Rosso spoke a little coldly, but tried to sound friendly. She was a little irritated at the place and the girl seemed to be mocking her.

[namine]

Naminé giggled softly, a hand covering her mouth at the woman's question. She tilted her head just slightly, so part of her blonde hair fell into her eyes and looked up, um, that is, she looked down, thoughtfully.

"To be honest, I'm not really sure. Everything in this world is hazy... like a sort of dream. It's probably easier not to question anything, but at the same time, it's hard not to. But I'd suggest trying to get down to this size first. Or whatever you can do, really."

At the second comment, the girl finished sipping her tea which was 'deliciously cold' as the Mad Hatter who'd given it to her had put it- since everything here seemed to be up-side-down or in opposition to each other. Once done, she placed the cup down, or should I say up on a nearby table.

"Well, the gravity here seems to be up-side-down for you, since you're on the ceiling. But I'm still right-side-up and on the ground. So maybe if you pull the bottle down to your level and turn it up-side-down it'll stay that way and you can drink it. Then you'll shrink." She said all of this slowly, before asking with a slight smile, "does that make sense?"

The smile faded into a worried line at the stranger's lack of enthusiasm and slight annoyance.

"I'm sorry," Naminé's light tone dropped into a more feeble one. "I guess I got carried away... it's just that I've never seen a place that's so.. alive before."

She sighed, again feigning a meek smile.

"I guess you could always just tip your head back and try and just um... 'suction' the liquid."

"To be honest, I'm not really sure. Everything in this world is hazy... like a sort of dream. It's probably easier not to question anything, but at the same time, it's hard not to. But I'd suggest trying to get down to this size first. Or whatever you can do, really." Rosso got a little more annoyed. How is she ever gonna get to that size? And how would she be able to turn back?

"Well, the gravity here seems to be up-side-down for you, since you're on the ceiling. But I'm still right-side-up and on the ground. So maybe if you pull the bottle down to your level and turn it up-side-down it'll stay that way and you can drink it. Then you'll shrink. Does that make sense?" Rosso shook her head and was slightly pissed off.

The girl started suddenly apologising to her and told her it might be possible to 'suction' the liquid. Rosso looked annoyed from the girl to the bottle, then she grabbed the bottle she pointed at and did a hand-stand. She drank it while hooking with her feet at the chair. As she shrank to the tiny size of a mouse, she came hanging on the chair that was on the floor. She still was up-side-down from the girl, but at least there wasn't a huge distance between them, she climbed the chair-leg towards the girl.

Rosso looked still annoyed. "And how do I get on your gravity-side?" She asked still pissed.

[namine]

The increasingly irritated and slowly becoming an almost infuriated look on the larger woman's face caused a little voice in the back of Naminé's head to command her to shut her mouth. In response Naminé did so, but couldn't help but sigh internally. Somehow she always seemed to be getting on people's nerves these days... well, she always had when she thought about it. She had ruined the plans of many back at Castle Oblivion- both good and bad, and there were a group now that held grudges against her because of it. She didn't need to add this woman to the list.

Baby blue hues grew as wide as saucers as the currently much larger woman jumped suddenly. Naminé ducked and yelped, pulling the massive white and blue-dotted top hat over about half her face with both hands. A swift wind caused by the giant's movement knocked the frail girl back until she toppled over and she refused to look to see what would become of her. Only when the air stilled around her again did she lift the hat up a bit to peek one eye open. The other eye followed suit shortly after, then both blinked in confused surprise.

"Oh..."

The giant of a woman, though still up-side-down in the girl's point of view, had shrunk back down to regular size and was clinging to the chair, legs drifting up behind her as though she might float to the ceiling like a balloon if she let go. Naminé would have found it funny if the woman hadn't been wearing an expression of utter exasperation. That and she climbing the chair leg ever closer to Naminé, almost in reaching distance.

Standing quickly, the girl lifted the massive white hat back up and righted it on her head, only to have it slip back into it's slanted position shortly after. She dusted off her dress and hurried over to the woman.

"I'm not sure how you could get gravity to change for you," she admitted, looking troubled. "However, the rules of this world are warped, so it'll probably be in some odd way. All I can think of is that if you hold onto my arms, I might be able to pull you down to this level so you can right yourself- and gravity might change from up-side-down to normal again for you. Here, it's worth a try."

She extended her hands to the woman. The question was, would she take them?

(OOC: Sorry if it's not that good. This is my third time writing the whole thing- lost the other two posts. ~-~')

"I'm not sure how you could get gravity to change for you. However, the rules of this world are warped, so it'll probably be in some odd way. All I can think of is that if you hold onto my arms, I might be able to pull you down to this level so you can right yourself- and gravity might change from up-side-down to normal again for you. Here, it's worth a try."

Rosso was feeling even more annoyed, if this kept on going, she would take her weapon from her back and shoot the girl down, but she needed her right now. Rosso grabbed Naminé's arms and let go of the chair-leg, instead of Rosso getting lifted, Naminé was getting lifted and they floated slowly towards the ceiling. Rosso looked surprised around her, but then looked dumb at the girl. "Aren't we forgetting something? Like who's heavier than the other? You're still young, so how were you planning to pull me to the floor." Rosso then blinked a bit of horror. "And don't let go, if you would let go, you would maybe make a safe landing yourself, but I'd get fallen to my death on the... ceiling."

[shuriih]

Alice sneaked through the door and silently closed it to evade the Card Soldiers from hearing her. "What a... meanie..." She turned her head around and saw two other women flying slowly upwards. One up-side-down holding the arms of the younger one below. It was quite an interesting sight.

Alice blinked, she remembered that up there the gravity was turned around and slowly walked towards the two. "Hello there." She jumped up and held onto one of the girl's legs. They slowly went down again and Alice held the two as if they were a balloon. "Don't you know it's dangerous to have nothing to stand on, miss?" She looked at the older lady questionable.

Alice's curiosity had woken up at how the older lady actually got all the way to the floor from the ceiling. Did she somehow get a cake up there and then shrunk down here again?

[namine]

"A-ah!"

Naminé squeaked in surprise as her feet lifted off the ground- it was her weight versus the stronger woman's in the tug of war between opposite gravities. And currently, her side was losing. She looked up desperately at the one who was now speaking to her in an accusing tone, as they drifted upwards. She couldn't help but scold herself repeatedly on the inside too. Idiot, stupid, childish...

"I'm sorry," she said, eyes flashing with worry, "I wasn't thinking."

She gripped the woman's arms as well, struggling to remain calm when the angered woman continued to instruct her not to let go, in an increasingly strained voice. She looked a little horrified, and rightly so. Maybe they should have stayed on opposite ends... but it was too late now and they'd have to work together to get out of this sticky situation. Now, to remain calm..

"Maybe if-" Naminé started to suggest, then heard another voice intervene. Suddenly someone grasped her ankle and she was tugged quickly down to floor-level again. She blinked at the girl who helped her from under the large hat and nodded in greeting.

"Um, hello."

She smiled awkwardly before releasing one of Rosso's arm to wrap it around the leg of the chair to keep her steadily floating just above the ground. She looked to Rosso then, instructing her to do the same.

"Just take hold of the chair leg so we don't float up. I have an idea. Alice, can I use your apron? I want to tie her down to the chair with it so she stops floating up. Then we can figure out how to reverse gravity for her."

[rosso]

"Maybe if-" Rosso looked confused down as suddenly another person appeared. "Hello there." Rosso looked confused at the new girl in the strange dress. What was this place? Naminé replied to the new girl. "Um, hello." They were held like a balloon by the new young girl. "Don't you know it's dangerous to have nothing to stand on, miss?" Rosso growled at the new girl.

"Just take hold of the chair leg so we don't float up. I have an idea. Alice, can I use your apron? I want to tie her down to the chair with it so she stops floating up. Then we can figure out how to reverse gravity for her." Rosso blinked. "So you two know each other, and you, girl with the strange hat. You don't have anything wrong with your gravity, so you don't need to hold the chair leg." She grabbed the chair leg herself. "And I haven't even heard your name yet."

[shuriih]

Alice looked surprised at the growling woman, she didn't seem to be too happy, probably because in the state she was now. If they let go, she would fall to the ceiling and not survive that long fall.

Alice moved to the chair, which seemed to be the spot where they started. Both women grabbed the chairleg to Alice's surprise and the older woman explained to the younger. Then the younger girl asked for her apron. Alice shook her head. She ignored the older woman for a moment. "I heard from Sora and the Cat a quicker way. Come, I can't carry the woman alone." Alice held onto an arm of Rosso. "Hold the other and pull her down to the ground. I don't know your name, miss." She said to Rosso. "But protect your head as we gonna pull you to the ground. I've heard of some creature that switched gravity when having fallen on the floor."

[namine]

"We don't know each other," Naminé interjected a little too quickly. She was so used to seeing people in Sora's memory and the panicked situation didn't help to keep her focussed on hiding her identity as a Memory Witch. She'd completely forgotten that Alice wouldn't know her, but Sora. Perfect, another slip up. "I know of her from someone else."

It's not lying, she told herself, I do know her through Sora's memories...

The girl sighed quietly as the other woman took hold of the chair leg and let go, stepping off onto the ground. She decided not to point out she was only holding on until the woman took hold of it herself so as not to sound like she was mouthing off to her. Before she could state her name, Alice began speaking again. Nodding mutely, Naminé did as she instructed and took hold of Rosso's other arm.

"It's Naminé," she answered Rosso's previous question quietly, whilst waiting for Alice's orders. "Shall we tug on the count of three?"

[rosso]

Rosso looked annoyed at the two girls, but did what she was told. She felt like yelling out loud and chopping both heads off, but that wouldn't bring her much further in this situation.

[shuriih]

"It's Naminé. Shall we tug on the count of three?" Alice nodded and they counted to three, pulling Rosso to the ground, where she would've hitted her face, if not protected. She then landed on her back and was now on the ground. "And we have her on the ground."

Alice smiled cheerfully. "Nice to meet you, Naminé! And your name is?" She asked at the older lady that now layed on the floor. The lady seemed to be very angered since the moment she saw her.

[namine]

The first thing Naminé did as Rosso fell backwards and slightly away from them was to make sure she stood part way in front of Alice. So far the fallen woman had been nothing but frustrated and she didn't wish for her to take any of her anger out on Alice. Still, she leant forward and offered a hand to the woman in red to take. She wasn't going to be rude herself, despite not feeling very comfortable in the situation.
