little things;

Someone once told me that "great things come in small packages." My name is Coral Grace. I like to make maps, smoke cigars and conquer the world. Currently studying geography at dysperia u. Oh, and i'm a size shifter, too.

[lilysthomas-deactivated20141207]

So you have done this before?

[tinythomson]

Mhmm. You got a tension wench?

[lilysthomas-deactivated20141207]

Well then, let’s explore together.

[takes out a spare bobby pin from her trouser pocket] Know how to use these? I don’t.

[tinythomson]

Sweet.

A bobby pin? It's been a while since I've used one of those.

[lilysthomas-deactivated20141207]

Why? What’s this place?

[tinythomson]

Well, I'm not sure yet. I just wanted to explore.

[lilysthomas-deactivated20141207]

Sorry!

What are you doing?

[tinythomson]

It's okay... um, I'm trying to find a way in.

[ian-freeman]

Got it?

[tinythomson]

Yup.

[ian-freeman]

That’s why this works. Come on. [gets down on his knees so she can climb onto his shoulders]

[tinythomson]

[ian-freeman]

Maybe if you shrink back to your regular size, I could give you a boost?

[tinythomson]

That could work. [She shrinks back down to her normal size and looks up at the window] You are already like, a giant.

[ian-freeman]

Have you checked the windows?

The upstairs ones, I mean.

[tinythomson]

Um, not yet. Hang on...

[Coral closes her eyes and clenches her fists, then begins to grow. She stops when she feels tall enough, which is a little below the second story, and peers in. Her hands are a little too big but eventually she manages to get one of the windows open.] Eureka. Now, I just need to get in...

[ian-freeman]

Casing it out, huh? What’re you looking for?

[tinythomson]

A way to get in.

[ian-freeman]

Whoa! Sorry, Coral.

What’s up?

[tinythomson]

Um, it's fine. You just frightened me...

I'm totally not casing this place out, nope.

[tinythomson]

Jeez, don't sneak up on me like that!

[amyrisingfromtheashes]

Well, I’ve already got the fire…

Would you like to join me?

[tinythomson]

I'd love to. 

[lilysxthomas]

Maybe you can take me with you to Australia one day, that would be the best thing ever.

I’d love to meet them, though I doubt they’d love me. Maybe we could go out for dinner sometime?

[tinythomson]

That'll definitely happen, one day. Maybe once we've graduated.

I like that idea.

[tate-skander]

Not always. I mean I love you and care about you and I’d probably do anything you asked me to do but you’re not all that I think about.

[tinythomson]

[breexdixon-blog]

"Morning Bree." a soft child like voice replied. Bree looked up smiling already knowing who the voice belonged too. "Good morning Coral." she smiled noticing how exhausted Bree looked, her clothes showing signs of wrinkles from clearly tossing and turning.

"Don’t take this the wrong way but- you look like shit. Did you get any sleep?" Bree questioned her eyes on Coral but her hands still moving spraying the pan with butter and pouring the mixture in once the pan was good in hot.  

[tinythomson]

"Just a little," she estimated with a shrug. Coral hadn't counted the hours. "I think I need to flip my mattress, because it hasn't been so comfy lately. Or maybe I should just invest in a new one?" Standing up from her counter ledge, she rolled her head. Coral's joints were still too stiff.

[tate-skander]

Shit Coral. You know you can still be in the background and have people love you? 

[tinythomson]

But to the one that loves me, I'd be all they'd see.

[tate-skander]

Why wouldn’t you want to be loved?

[tinythomson]

Because being loved means that someone believes you're special, and I don't want to be. I don't ask for an extraordinary life, because it's foolish, and I'm content in the marvel of no prefix.

Not everyone is meant to be in the spotlight. I want to be the girl that finds joy from tasting fruit; cries when pets die; shows infinite pleasure in the touch of the hand.The world is a grand stage and I'm a stage hand. That's all I want to be, is that too much to ask?
