[Shuffle.

Sayo had been having a decent weekend, and for a moment, it seemed like it was right back to normal in Luceti. Still had those bouts of 'sleeping' problems, but hey, things were doing well. That is, until she found herself about 1 inch off the ground, barely enough to fit in a palm. Now she's shuffling sideways outside of work, leaving her clothes in a round pile to panic among the people walking by. Oh god oh god everyone's almost stepping on her—she skuttles over to the door to Seventh Heaven and beats her claw on it. Aaaah, that's right, she's early, oh no, oh dear—

THAT GUY ALMOST STEPPED ON HER.

So, Luceti. There's a high-pitch SCREAAAAA— noise as she skuttles haphazardly around people's (your?) feet. And if you listen well enough, you can hear the teeny tiny stunned voice:]

I'VE BEEN TURNED INTO A MONSTER!!

[snap snip]

Someone help me, I can't move well—please don't step on me—ahh!! Please, look down; o-oh, my clothes, my journal, someone!!

[Way way way later:]

[Voice]

Is... anyone else having troubles maneuvering their journals? [>_>]

[Sorry Sayo.

Sanji's too busy wondering how a crab got all the way into the village to hear your tiny peals of fright.

... Hm. Not much meat on you, though. Guess he can't make a meal. But he does bend down, bemused, and say:]

Tch, how'd you get all the way out here, little guy?

[...you move. 8D Weirdly. With legs.

Staaaaaaaalk.]

[What is this thing and why is it screaming around his feet? After yelping out in fright and taking several steps randomly backwards, Giles lowers his head to the ground and begins looking around for the source of the tiny screaming voice.

It doesn't take him long to notice the flailing crab. So he tries for communication.]

Excuse me, um, Miss Crab.

[Listen here, mister—

/SKUTTLES IN IN PLACE]

SANJI-SAN, I need help, please!

[Oh, her voice, her poor voice is going to go hoarse from all this yelling. At least he's closer for hearing her screams of panic. Y-yes, that's a small favor. ;~;]

[SCREAAAAA WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE CREATURE]

Please don't hurt me, little—little—

[What are you even?!]

I don't think I'd taste very good, b-b-being so tiny...!

[Wooow, you are loud. She puts her claws over her—

oh dammit, where are crab ears even. She has ears, right?]

[whimper]

O-oh, good morning—[you horrifying creature she's never seen before

But at least she knows something like you.]

... Lizard-san!

[Well, you can probably hear this, now, albeit in a few octaves higher than her usual voice:]

PLEASE HELP ME, SIR...!

...

[Tia happens to like crabs, so she bends down to offer the crab her hand.]

[O-oh, what a nice person ;~;

Have a squeaky little voice.]

Thank you so much! I thought I was going to be stepped on, down there...!

Dere are few would have thought to look, aye.

[Robert's outside for once! Mostly because being exothermic and having a sudden desire to go into bodies of water are good reasons to do so. Even so, he's still hermit-ish thanks to social phobia (which is a bit exacerbated as a turtle) and is mostly looking down - which is why he notices the tiny, scuttling crab.

At first he doesn't hear Sayo's voice - but honestly, as an astrobiologist, Robert is very observant, and eventually he catches the soft strains of a panicking tone. Most crabs are incapable of vocalization, but...]

Ah, excuse me there... Would you happen to need some assistance? [He stoops, carefully, and offers his green, leathery, two-fingered hand as a platform. It's preferable to stepping on the cute little crab, at least.]

[If Crabsayo happens to go near the shore of the ocean, she may run into Ami taking a swim!

...in very cold water

...that humans shouldn't enjoy as much as she seems to.

...and was that a mermaid tail splashing behind her? Yep!]

Are you alright?! Come over this way.

[...okay, so it's a villager. Please don't be afraid of him, unfamiliar villager.

Giles lays himself down on the ground so he's not quite so towering. One of his eyes is still about as big as Sayu is right now, of course.]

Well, lizard is close enough. [Not all cultures might be familiar with dragons, of course.] Um, hello. I didn't cause any harm, did I? [He doesn't quite get that his voice might be overwhelming right now, but he does look concerned.]

[Eating you? Who said anything about eating you? You're just fun to...

...pounce. B|]

[SCREAAAAAM

Nothing but terrifing, little shrieks from the squirming creature under her paw.]

Please, I don't want to die--I'd give you food, I really would; please don't eat me!!

O-oh, no, I'm alright! Just a little overwhelmed by my... new height...

[she laughs a little, though it's a little strained]

I've never been almost stepped on before, you see.

I appreciate it all the same! Though... I suppose now I'll just have to wait until they decide to turn me back to normal, I'm afraid...

[a very worried-looking ball of light is descending to talk to you]

It's all right! This is an experiment.

[Still oh-so-nervously:] I-if I stay down here much longer, I'm worried I'll end up crushed, and that wouldn't be very desirable, would it?

[... Oh! You're familiar! She's seen turtle-people walking around, though she hasn't quite learned what a turtle even is. But THIS ISN'T IMPORTANT--!]

Oh, yes please! I'd be very grateful!

[Pardon her, she's not much for height, and she's trying her damnedest to even get on his hand.]

[Bah, we'll just say she's around the ocean for the hell of meeting a mermaided Ami, right? Give her a moment to scurry sideways to you.]

Ami-chan! Is that you?!

I certainly was hoping so, th-though I'm more concerned with how I'm going to get home!

[She scurries back and forth, not wanting to keep still in the midst of her new body.]

It's me, but, who is this?

[She should really be more shocked at a talking crab, but then... ninja turtles. And Luceti.]
