fandomhighdorms | Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

Alice was incredibly bored. And as such, she was going to wander into her Common Room and see if anyone else had found something interesting to do.

She was not expecting for the furniture to suddenly grow to be twenty, thirty, forty feet tall! No, wait, it was her who had shrunk, the moment she had passed through that doorway.

"I don't recall any bottles," she frowned. She might have remembered that, one would think.

Instead, she gave the doorway a curious eye, and stepped into the hallway once again ... and the world around her shrunk to its normal size, and she was five-feet-eight once more.

"Curiouser and curiouser."

Well. A proper adventure. Alice walked back into the common room and surveyed the gargantuan furniture around her.

"There was a remote around here somewhere," she announced. This was certainly more delightful than being bored.

Agnes had been feeling a bit bored, and so for lack of anything better to do was attempting to find as many kinds of chocolate as she could. She had quite a variety already, stashed in her hat which she was carrying around in both hands. (The pointy end was very good for storage.) As she entered the fifth floor common room to see what delectables awaited, she was surprised to find herself shrunk.

"Oh, MY!" she exclaimed, trying to get her bearings.

"Excellent, it isn't just me at all," Alice beamed. "I had thought it might be. But I haven't seen any bottles or mushrooms. I think it's the door."

"Bottles or mushrooms?" Agnes asked, distracted. She looked around the room with a bit of awe. "No, I suppose this is just 'Fandom weirdness'."

"If you see a bottle that says 'Drink Me,'" she advised, "don't drink it. Or do drink it, so long as there are very small cakes nearby that say 'eat me,' that you might return to yourself and not be trapped as a small creature forever."

"Oooh, potions that change your size?" Agnes asked curiously. "I don't suppose you know what was in them, do you?" It might be fun to brew up something like that!

And if you could make the chocolate a lot bigger, you might not stuff it all in your face tonight!

"Sadly, I don't," Alice said, rocking back onto her heels. She no longer had the high-heeled boots that made that very teetery but it was still a habit. "Though I suspect mushrooms. One side for the potions, the other for the cakes. And the bottle tasted delicious, I confess, though a bit overwhelming."

Hurley entered the common room and instantly yelped.

"...dude, what happened?"

"Just mushrooms wouldn't do something like that," Agnes replied, thinking. "Unless they were magic mushrooms. It's a pretty neat idea all the same..."

She shrugged and proffered her hatful of candy. "Well, I suppose we have an adventure ahead of us, now! Would you like a chocolate?"

"You shrank," Agnes told him flatly, with a bit of a smirk. "Would you like a chocolate?"

"Fandom's amusing itself again," Alice noted, folding her hands behind her back. "Unless you noticed any bottles that said 'drink me.'"

"Quite, and thank you," Alice beamed, reaching to take one. "I would suggest that we raid the refrigerator for drinks to accompany the chocolate, but that might take some doing. Then again, I was bored, and adventures are a good way of curing that."

Hurley was startled enough that he had to take a moment.

"...please," he said.

"...At this school, I would totally not drink anything that asked me to," Hurley said.

Agnes held out her hat for him to take one. "Are you all right?"

Hurley snagged a chocolate. "I just shrunk," he said. "This is kinda, like, way new for me."

"Then I fear you shall miss a great deal of adventure," she replied. "Though perhaps you will stay safer than the alternative."

Agnes grinned. "I was bored, myself!" she told Alice. "Which is why I was looking for chocolates."

She looked up at the fridge. "That's... quite a big door," she observed. "I don't suppose you're one of our super-strong students?"

Agnes ate one, herself. "You haven't been here long, have you?" she asked.

"Well, looks like adventure finds me okay anyway," Hurley said. "We... we're not going to be stuck like this, right?"

"This is my first semester here," Hurley said. "So yeah, really new."

"Congratulations on finding them," she nodded to the hat. "And no, I've no special talents or abilities, I'm afraid. One wonders if we couldn't wedge the door open, though that hardly allows us to reach any of the drinks inside."

Alice nodded to the doorway behind him. "It seems specific to this room," she stated. "If you go back to the hallway, you'll be fine. The doorway seems to be what is doing it."

Hurley looked back at the door, then back at Alice. A grin spread across his face. "Dude, so we can have fun being tiny and then just leave and be normal size? That's awesome."

"What we'd need is a super-strong student who can fly, I suppose," Agnes replied. "I'm a bit magic, myself -- I could give it a try." She looked at the expanse of floor between them and the fridge. "Once we got there."

"That still means you've been here for months," Agnes pointed out. "Is it really that much to adjust to?"
