What's a Mouse to Do? (OPEN)

[Saeben]

*Since Saeben has not officially met or have any plans thus far with anyone I will take this as a first grabs to whomever wants to meet him first.

You really can't appreciate the world quite as much when you are tall vs. when you are small. And seeing as right that moment Saeb found himself quite tiny indeed everything looked like it could be a giant's home. Standing at about 4 inches tall and thoroughly swamped by the grasses around him Saeben was discovering that despite having to find perches to see things like this, he was able to access a lot more things! For instance, who KNEW that the big oak in front of him was actually climbable? Because it was, and his tiny little hands could find grips on the bark easy peasy! Scurrying up the tree as quick as can be and carefree as anything. Well, as carefree as anyone could get when you were part mouse.

It wasn't really anyone's fault he was like this. It was more he had just casually.... forgotten what height he was supposed to be, and what EXACTLY he used to look like so he defaulted to parts of things. And more often than not he found he rather liked the demeanor of a mouse! He could hear so well, and the jumping power of his back legs were FANTASTIC. And besides, who WOULDN'T want to be this small! It was so much fun! Saeb scampered along the branch gleefully seeking a nice big leaf he could use as a parachute for some more exciting activities.

Mona, having to refresh herself walked out of the mediocre sized house into the giant forest and the back yard in the center of it. Whenever she really needed to recharge she went into the back and sat in her special spot near the portal that had mysteriously opened allowing new and strange beings to come through.

She sat down on her mat and turned her head up to the sky with her eyes closed and let the sun wash over her. She tilted back and let herself fall into the grass which was still a little wet from the morning dew since the spot just came out of the shade from all the trees. She heard the slamming of car doors, meaning Carmen was probably on her way to work.

allowing her roots to stretch out from her ankles, she relaxed as they buried themselves into the ground and pulled the nutrients she so desperately needed from the earth. Since this spot was one of the only areas that she was still able to protect and keep fresh she liked to take the times alone to catch up on her equivalent of sleep.

[Saeben]

A leaf bigger than he was proved to be his best selection and Saeb didn't even hesitate with his intended activity. Running full pelt he threw himself from the tree with a yell of glee, nothing more than a squeak to anything larger than himself. He curled his bowed legs up against his chest plummeting faster until he threw his arms up with handfuls of the leaf in each his hands, his progress immediately slowing and allowing him to spin with the breeze. It was only in the midst of his adrenaline rush and glee that he noticed that he wasn't as alone as previously thought. A person was in his direct line of fall, even though very little damage would come to either party upon collision it WAS still rude to just go hitting someone out of the blue.

"Watch out please!!!!" He called as loud as his small stature would allow in the hopes he would be heard.

[Mona Tavon]

Hearing a small cry Mona opened her eyes once again, just in time to be smacked in the face by what looked like... A mouse? No it couldn't be, it was more humanoid in figure and stood tall despite its short stature.
"Why hello. what may I call you?" Mona asked quietly cupping the small being in her hands and lowering it back down to the forest floor.

[Saeben]

Well it wasn't the most graceful of introductions, to smack into someone's face but truly it could have been worse. At least he hadn't been falling any faster. And then suddenly there were giant hands and a giant face, and- oh, no, that was just normal sized things that seemed big as per usual. How silly of him. Saeb righted himself into a sitting position instead of the passable excuse for a starfish he had previously been lying as.

His ears swiveled upright above his head twitching to face the big person's face as she spoke... quieter than he was expecting to be honest. Huh. Well that was certainly nice! "Hello to yourself! I'm Saeben, call me Saeb. Sorry for parachuting into your face!" He grinned at her exposing sharp little canines. He leaned over slightly to peer down to the ground and hummed in interest. "Did you know that your feet are doing funny things? Because they are doing kind of funny things." He commented, pointing at the roots down below, interest already moving on to newer more interesting topics than crashing into someone's face.

Mona looked over at her feet watching the roots in her ankles start to slowly work their way back under her skin and turned to look back at the small being.
"It's nothing to be alarmed about, just my roots, They help me stay connected to my planet and draw energy from it." She explained drawing her legs in closer to her body and closer to the mouse like creatures figure to take a closer look. she gestured to the roots on her ankles and then to the trees next to her. "Just like all the ancient trees surrounding us now and that you seemed to be playing on earlier." giggling she then gestured to the being. "So what are you? I don't remember anything like you last time I was awake"

[Saeben]

Saeb hummed in acknowledgement of the explanation. Girl with roots sounded pretty interesting, not sure he'd want it for himself personally but hey still not bad. "Oh, me? I'm a human!" He said then paused and frowned. "Or a mouse? Maybe I'm neither and just can't remember anymore... hmmm." He swished his tail around as he frowned hard in thought, but in the end just shrugged. "Oh well, I can change into different things, I could be anything really I guess. Being small is comfy though."

[Mona Tavon]

"Well whatever you may be, you are very cute and would love to discover more about you." Mona said with a smile "what were you doing before you bumped into me? You seemed to be rather focused." She stretched out again and laid back into the grass carefully to about the human-mouse.

[Saeben]

"Parachuting!" He grinned up at the large tree-woman person, he really wasn't sure what he was supposed to refer to her as at this point. "It's fun, you take a leaf and then you jump from a tree. If you do it on windy days you can end up pretty far." He informed her steadily. "The only thing is, its hard to see the ground when you are small so hitting things occasionally happens." He laughed lightly, ears flicking back ever so slightly in embarrassment.
