[ man the network is just. and the responses are all p much what she's also thinking about so maybe!! ]

What exactly shrunk?
Just to be sure, you know.

[spaceassassin]

my friend

[ he’s helping ]

[unalign]

A ... part of them or in general?

[spaceassassin]

[ squint
thinking
processing
… still doesn’t connect ]

all of him
it started yesterday
he’s already a few inches shorter

[unalign]

[ mannnnnn she's getting confused now ]

Isn't that normal, though?

[spaceassassin]

[ same lumine, same ]

no??

[unalign]

Weird. I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that people are sometimes not as tall at the end of the day as they are at the beginning of it.

That's not it?

[ she reads too much, sry ]

[spaceassassin]

[ a rare moment in time, keith is going to make a joke ]

you may have a point
he does have a habit of carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, so i guess that’d compress his spine

[unalign]

Oh, so are we talking about his height?

[ ??????? ]

[spaceassassin]

what else would i be talking about

[ SAY IT LUMINE ]

[unalign]

I mean, a lot of other things shrink too, you know.

[ NO ]

[spaceassassin]

[ SUS ]

such as

[unalign]

Such as your feet in the morning and then they swell in the afternoon. Have you ever experienced a time when your shoes fit perfectly at first and then got tighter near the end of the day?

[ SEE ]

[spaceassassin]

[ well played, lumine
keith is off the scent ]

oh
maybe? can’t say i’ve ever noticed a significant change

[ …
BUT THIS IS BESIDE THE POINT ]

his feet aren’t shrinking
well they are
but it’s not… that

[unalign]

[ she's been trained well in the art of deflection ]

Not many people do.

Anyway, do we know the cause of their shrinking?

[spaceassassin]

no
some people think he might’ve consumed something

[ okay. he’s running in circles with everyone
lumine, indulge him ]

do you know anything about vampires
and like
don’t they shrink to become bats
or something

[ … listen. he saw a really shitty movie once
there is a theory in here somewhere ]

[unalign]

Vampires?

[ how did they get from his friend to vampires ...
???? ]

Is your friend a vampire?

[spaceassassin]

[ just hear him out
it’ll all make sense

… surely ]

maybe
before he started shrinking, he developed fangs and a thirst for blood
other things too but the shrinking, do you think that’s a side effect

[unalign]

[ this entire conversation has been a roller coaster since it began ]

Was he bitten?
Isn't that how vampires are created? Or born?

Also, I've never heard of a vampire shrinking before unless it's to turn into a bat.
He's not growing fur, is he?

[spaceassassin]

no
i don’t know
maybe it works different in the netherworld

[ “different”, like vampires exist in the real world
… according to weekly world news at the local safeway, batboy is very much real ]

i don’t think so
not in any of the obvious places

[ don’t ask him to check the non-obvious ]

[unalign]

[ well, she supposes the version of vampires do differ in every world. who knows if vampires here have characteristics that she's never heard or read about. ]

Do you think he'll admit to being a vampire if you ask him?

[spaceassassin]

[ ABOUT THAT ]

he’s not hiding it
he did vampire things in front of me

[ translation: gave into that blood thirst in front him
translation to the translation: drank keith’s blood ]

[unalign]

[ spicy ]

In front of you or on you?

1/2

[spaceassassin]

[ thinking
debating
calculating



ok ]

on

[spaceassassin]

[ NOT THAT SHIRO IS A BAD DUDE ]

which is fine
i told him to
