And, For Balance, A Fun One :-)

Maybe if I thought they were eating my food.

I would avoid birds like the plague.

Realistically? I'd hide until I went back to normal. Being that big would be dangerous with bugs and such around.

Also, I would make lots of money, first by winning the Amazing Randi's prize for proving the existance of the supernatural, and then by making really tame movies for micro/macro fetishists. I'd also try to get a starring role as the little twin women in the next remake of Mothra.

Now that is a rad idea!

If you were about 2 1/2 inches tall *sometimes,* and had four roomates, would you spy on them? (And, if it matters, while in that state, you also have to deal with a proportionately large set if wings.)

And, just for fun, what else would you do?

Re: the spying thing, it depends on my personality. And assuming I am myself, then the answer would be no. I'd consider it a breach of trust, and it's very likely that when my roommates and I first moved in together, I'd have let them know the situation and reassured them that I would not take advantage of it.

However, I could see a less seemly, more prank-prone character lying about it, and spying anyway.

For fun? I should think flying would be fun enough to keep me occupied Of course, being that I am also very obsessive when it comes to cleaning, I'd probably use my tiny form to get into places that I normally can't reach so I can clean them. Not that I'd consider that 'fun,' but I figured I'd mention it because it's something I could see myself doing.

Heck, I might even get or build some elaborate 'playset' style thing that I can hang out in when I'm tiny (you know, like those elaborate hamster houses or a dollhouse or whatever).

Spy? No. Not tell them I was there when they were being stupid? Definitely. Hound them with the fact they were stupid? Depends on how stupid they were.


The one good thing I can think of about being that small is that I wouldn't have allergies anymore. The pollen would be too big.

I don't think I would spy...but I might move things around in the middle of the night to make them think the place was haunted.
I would defiantly explore inside the walls of my house looking for treasure. It would be nice to find an old ring from the 1800's.

I'd avoid most spying/sneaking around human roommates if I was that small because that would greatly increase the odds of them crushing me by accident if they suddently cross the room and drop a book, close a door, etc.

It's like when one human character sneaks up on another character with a gun in a zombie movie, and the gun-toter shoots their own friend for not announcing himself. Foolish stuff (on the part of the person who came up quietly.)

Unless I had wings and could definitely stay off the floor, I wouldn't fuck around. I'd always make sure they were aware of my presence before I entered a room with big stomping feet.

Amazing Randi's prize sounds tempting, but I would not want to get into the news for being the worlds first documented fairy.

Thus I would do everything I could to find out the nature of my strange metamorphosis and how to duplicate this effect, so that I could make other people become sometimes-fairies, too. ... Well, basicly a universal "Making 1.80 meter thinks 6.35 cm big and later reversing the effect" technology would most likely have lots of profitable application posibilities.
If I could not discover that by myself, I guess Universities would be the most trustworthy research partner (big evil company would only try to trick me and keep all the profit for themselves)

If this violates the supreme law of the underworld, too, I would be exceptionally careful to explore that in secret, so that at the day when I finally come out with it, I can at the same time create some measures securing my savety (like more detailed information about other supernaturals that will become public if I die, plus a revenge fund on any underworld government members...).

PS: Btw, I would not be totally selfish, depending on how this thing turns out to exactly work in the end I could see this solve many of the world's biggest problems and as long as I can life in luxority for the rest of my life I could clearly see myself donating some of the patents to the public.

As far as I see this, pixies are a kind of fairy (other kinds being Sidhe, Kobolds, etc). And since no Kobold or something has been documented yet, the first pixie would be the first fairy, too.

Oookay, am I the only person who would spy? SERIOUSLY. If you guys got this ability it would be a massive waste. I would spy, sneak, steal, play pranks, do all sorts of things. Well maybe not steal big things, but sweets and stuff -- not from my friends, but from other people. I have the courage to be honest! Don't judge me!

Yes, I would be terrified of bugs. Yes, I would be terrified of birds. If I saw them coming I would crap myself, but you said the power can be controlled, so I would simply wait for said bird/bug to get close enough then BAM! Massive again. [Insert some drawn out insect/animal cruelty.]

Finally I agree with the flying thing. I would spend hours flying, but it'd have to be somewhere safe so that a bird doesn't get me from behind.

...Urgh, imagine coming across a big spider when you're that size? That would be horrifying. You'd see their eyes and the hair and their whole bodies in detail.
*Throws up*

I would spy on everyone.

I wouldn't expect you to know this , but in my writing, that would be violating the supreme law of the underworld. And, in all but extremely rare cases, it's punishable by death - - immediately.

Kinda like the Catholic church will torture you if you try to prove God exists. Nice.

If it's something I couldn't control, I wouldn't take the risk. You don't want to be spying in the girls' shower locker room only to suddenly regain your original size. Slapfests will ensue.
