Garath's Potion Madness!

[Mystic Mina]

"Well, I'm pretty small right now, so perhaps I could get away with being.... Erm.... A doll, maybe? It sounds a bit weird, but it'll keep your roommate from freaking out. Though, with the way I look now, they'll know who I am in a heartbeat...."

Suddenly, an idea came to Clark's mind.

"Rhia, can we head over to the Drama department for a second? I think I have a plan."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"A plan? Okay, right. I know a back door that should still be open...." She yawned again, but they weren't far away. Hopefully this wouldn't take long. The size thing had in fact crossed her mind, but she hadn't wanted to bring it up.... Especially as, well, she'd like him to pop back to normal size for at least a little while.... Eeep, that's harder to bring up than I thought it would be....

[Mystic Mina]

Once the duo reached the Drama department, Clark flew off of Rhiannon's shoulder and began to rummage through one of the many closets lined up against the walls.

"I think I almost.... Here! I found them, Rhia!.... Er...."

Clark had come across the doll props used by the Drama club for their plays, but it appeared as through there were no male ones he could take the clothing of. All that was left were female dolls.... And Clark wasn't really to fond of putting himself in a feminine outfit.

[Mistress Guendolen]

"It's okay, really. It was a good idea...." They hadn't used the dolls for a little while, and she herself had forgotten about them. "Unfortunately, you can't seem to get dolls other than the frilly frou-frou kind." She made a little face. "Tell you what- since J-Mitsuko knows about the potions, you know, I'm sure she'll understand.... She might not even be there. And we can- er- make you a little nest, or you can share my pillow or something, though I do flop a lot when I sleep, and I don't want to roll on you...." She actually blushed a little bit, even though it probably wasn't visible in the dim light of the room.

[Mystic Mina]

"S-Share your pillow? You mean.... Sleep in the same bed with you!?"

Though he was quite small, Clark was able to leave quite a large mess in the closet when an explosion of bright red blood erupted from his nose. Fortunately, it didn't get on any of the props.

"Ow....."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"If- if you don't want to you don't have to!" she exclaimed, making a hasty reassuring gesture with both hands, blushing brighter herself. "It- it was just a thought- I'm not trying to do anything weird, I promise! If- I've got spare pillows, we can make you a little bed of your own on- on a desk or soemthing, really, please don't freak out-" Ack, it's usually the guys who says this sort of stuff to the girl! I've gotta get him used to being around me.... I'll take it slow, yeah, but maybe we can work this a step in the right direction- She went over to him to check him out. "Are- are you okay, there?..." Amazing how someone so small could cause such a large, well, fountain.

[Mystic Mina]

"I'm sorry, Rhia.... I'll be ok. My doctor always said I had an usually large amount of blood in my body, for some reason."

After having cleaned his puddle up using a nearby box of tissues, Clark flew up onto Rhiannon's shoulder once more. He rested his head against the girl's neck and gave a little yawn.

"Um, Rhia? Is it alright if I take a nap while you head over there? I feel so tired out...."

[Mistress Guendolen]

Rhiannon gave him a small, gentle pat, trying not to knock him over. "Of course you can," she said gently. "I'm beat too. It shouldn't take long to get there. This is a small campus, after all...." She carefully shut the door behind her, making her way across the mostly-dark campus. It was completely safe, after all; the weirdest thing to happen here was, actually, these potions.... It actually took some effort to climb the stairs to her room. Looking around, she didn't see Mitsuko anywhere. She gave Clark a light touch. "We're here," she said softly. "Are you okay?..." Maybe I should just pick him up and set him down gently somewhere....

[Mystic Mina]

Clark was still in a deep slumber, mumbling incoherently as he snuggled closer to Rhiannon's slender warm neck and shifted his position to make himself more comfortable. It looked like he wouldn't be waking up for quite a while....

[Mistress Guendolen]

She shook her head. "So much for trying to give you a good night kiss, then," she said quietly. Gathering him up gently in her hands, she settled him down on a pillow before going to get out her pajamas. She didn't know why, but she blushed a bit as she changed into them. Oh, come on- he's asleep! He's not going to see anything like that! Still, it was the principle of the thing.... "Good night," she said softly, lightly touching his back before lying down, pulling the covers up to go to sleep in her own right.

[Mystic Mina]

Some time passed before Clark silently rose himself up from the pillow and flew over to where Rhiannon had left the mysterious white potion. He, too, had felt the strange vibes that the liquid seemed to emit, but there was a temptation.... A temptation to return back to normal so he could pursue an actual relationship with the girl of his dreams.

"I don't even know if it is the cure...." He muttered to himself. It was purely speculation that this potion was the cure, after all. But there was still the chance.... Besides, if it gave these strange vibes, it would be better if he tested it.

"Oh.... Rhiannon, I'm sorry. But I'm doing this for you. For us...." He whispered as he flew into the potion and began to drink its contents.

[Mistress Guendolen]

Rhiannon flopped over, making a funny noise. She grabbed another spare pillow, cuddling it close. "Mmm... Clark...." she mumbled in her sleep, smiling a bit. Apparently she was having a very nice dream, and it involved him....

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

As Clark began to drink the potion he instantly knew something was wrong. The potion began to change color from black, to grey, to clear like water, to purple, to even rainbowish before changing back to black with a strange white like spider web effect in it.

Clark was too late to stop though. The potion forced him to drink ALL of it.


A strange feeling over came him all at once. The vial forced him out just as his body regained full size.

And then nothing else happened. His wings didn't go away. He didnt lose his fairy abilities. Yet for some odd reason the potion caused his size problem to switch. Now he could only shrink for the same amount of time that he previously could grow.

Nothing else was happening. Except...

Except Clark could feel something strange in the pit of his stomach. Something that told him the potion wasn't done.

Whatever he had drank hadn't been the white potion. He'd know that now. If Clark was sharp, he'd realize it had been a missplacement. An 'extra' potion that wasn't listed or noticed before.

An experiment, and Clark had it inside him... Only time would tell what it could truly do.

[Mystic Mina]

"Ah.... What? Did I change back to normal?" Clark whispered ae he looked at his now normal-sized surroundings. It seemed that he had changed back, but there seemed to be something that didn't seem right.... Maybe a look in the mirror would reveal the disturbance.

"I' m sure it isn't anyth-AH!"

He had returned to his normal-size, but he still had his shiny fairy wings, and he was still floating about a foot in the air! There was something new, though. Something that was bothering him on the inside.... As though there were more to the change than just his size.

OOC: I know Garath suggested I wait until the new day begins before making my first post, but I came up with an angle thats good enough for me to start now. ^^;

IC: "Frick, I can't believe Allan coaxed me into staying up this late watching anime at his place..." A red headed boy muttered to himself, partially yawning as he headed back to his dorm. It was late, thus dark, and sitting in front of a flashing screen for six hours had temporarily messed up his vision. "'David! I picked up a new magical girl anime today! I know how much you love magical girl anime!' He says. We didn't even watch it! He made me sit through Black Lagoon the entire time!" David once again mumbled, this time while bringing the grey hood of his sweater over his head to keep his head warm. David wasn't an otaku like his friend Allan, but he had an interest in that sort of stuff. For some reason, he found himself drawn to magical girl anime, and he always had. He kept his interest in anime and manga on the downlow, however, only his close friends knew about it.

Those details, though, are irrelevant to the situation at hand. While navigating the outside path to his dorm so late at night, David accidentally kicked an object on the ground that sounded like glass clinking as it flew a few feet before him. Curious, he got on his knees and felt around for the object, eventually taking hold of it. He wasn't exactly sure of what it was, but by shaking it he could tell it contained a liquid. David's mouth was still dry from the beer he had at Allan's, and this unkown fluid didn't smell TOO bad. He figured it was a foreign drink, and took a swig. When he found it didn't taste too bad, he drank the rest, dropping the fluids container back onto the ground. When he got back to his dorm a few minutes later, he collapsed onto his bed and began to drift to sleep. He had Environmental Resources early in the morning after all.

OOC: If anything is wrong I'll fix it. ^^;
