nobodysbishie: (Chibi Sidelook)
Bishop woke early, a moment of surprise and scanning his surroundings before memory kicked in. Oh yeah... I'm staying with Shard for the holidays. Um. A tiny Shard, who don't remember anything since back when we was little kids... Damn Nexus.

He was still half-asleep as he hopped out of bed, so the fact that he actually had to hop didn't quite register on him; so long as the Brobdigngagian furniture around wasn't looking as if it was about to attack, it got paid little mind either. It wasn't until the doorknob that it hit him.

...


Why the hell was he reaching UP to the doorknob? For that matter, why did he have to get on his toes to wrap his hands around it?

That's when he started REALLY noticing his surroundings. Or rather, his new perspective thereon; everything looked a LOT smaller when you were a grown-Bishop's size. And look at his hands; they were absurdly tiny! And his feet! He must've gotten shrunk some how, or..


"%@#@$%ING NEXUS!!!!!"

Shard hadn't been able to sleep much that night. Nervous about her surroundings. So she'd gotten up early and gone to the main room to watch TV. It turned out that there was a lot of TV for kids her age, she'd found.

When she heard someone else moving around, she got up and padded that direction, then blinked. "You shouldn't use words like that." It wasn't the first time she'd heard it, of course. But Grandma had told her that she wasn't supposed to repeat them.
Crap, Shard! She was gonna laugh her fool head off! Wait, miniShard.

...She was gonna laugh her fool head off!

Oh well. She had to learn sometime, right? May as well take his licks now.. He opened the door, mini-thumping on out to look her right in the lack of eyes. ...It didn't help that he had to look up at HER, too.

"I think I kinda got reason, Sis."

Date: 2008-01-09 12:30 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Shard peered at him for a long moment, then went and squatted down so that she was more of a height with him. "Is...that you, Bishop?" She didn't look like she was ready to laugh. Uncertain, however, that's a given.

Date: 2008-01-09 03:24 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
It is a bit much to take in, maybe, but he thinks he can allay her suspicions pretty well, just going over and hugging her the way he did back when they were kids- modified to deal with the height-difference, of course. "'S me, Shard. Just... tiny. See, THIS is the sorta crud why I'm not a fan of that place I found you at. May be different for other people, but something happens t'me nearly every time I go there!"

Still hugging, because... Well. Does he really need a reason?

Date: 2008-01-09 04:15 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Shard hugs him back because...well, it's Bishop. Even if he's smaller. "Maybe you shouldn't go there anymore," she says, rubbing his back. This was really, really weird for her. She wasn't used to being bigger than Bishop, after all.

Date: 2008-01-09 09:05 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
It's Bishop, all right. Disturbingly cuddly, but still Bishop. "Almost never do, anymore. Big loada work on my plate plus THIS kinda thing, it takes somethin' like my sister showing up as a five-year-old to haul me in." Totally eyebrowing his little/big sis.

He still manages to smile and cup her cheek, though. "It's still worth it in the end, to be with family."

Date: 2008-01-10 08:42 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Disturbingly cuddly is right. It wasn't that Shard never thought about cuddling up to her brother. After all, he was big and warm and made her feel safe. This wasn't the same thing at all.

"I dunno what makes that so special." Because she, as far as she knows, IS five. Her expression brightens, though, at the cheek touch. "Of course. 'Cause we have to look out for each other."

Date: 2008-01-10 09:08 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
He MISSES being big and warm, damnit! And yeah, don't let on (further) to Shard about her age, that just messes her up... "'Cause we're family." Determined nod.

...He scuffs his foot a little, looking down. "Think you can help me get better, though?"

Note: Bishop has no real intentions of having her do more than is absolutely necessary. To him, this is a good way to keep an eye on her, work on fixing himself, and keep her from feeling babysat, all in one! GENIUS.

Date: 2008-01-10 09:13 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
The memories that are suppressed but not entirely mess her up enough as it is. No need for Bishop to help out.

She grins, nodding enthusiastically. Yeah!" She hugs him tight again. "I'm not sure what I can do, but I'll do what I can!"

Date: 2008-01-22 12:01 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
"Kaaant... bleeethe..." Aaack, do not squish the Bish!

Date: 2008-01-22 12:03 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
"Oops!" Shard lets go, letting him step back a bit. "Sorry about that."

Date: 2008-01-22 12:15 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
"Hokay..." He's bent over a little and huffing, but he'll be okay; to be a chibi you gotta be TOUGH.

All right, looks like he's recovered. "Think we should go into the Nexus, okay? Had to be where it happened, prob'ly the only place to fix it. Let's go."

*One Quick and Humiliating Trip To The Nexus Later*

Bishop stormed in angrily, flouncing on his oversized bed. "HATE the Nexus. An' I was NOT POUTING!" He totally was. And is.

Date: 2008-01-22 12:24 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Shard rubs her cheek, grimacing. "Why do they pinch?" It really makes no sense to her. And it hurts.

She walks over and climbs onto his bed, patting his back. "They said it would probably wear off."

Date: 2008-01-23 12:11 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
"'Cuz they CAN." Beware his chibi-glower! "What bugged me was the hair-rufflin'. What was up with that?" There will be VENGEANCE, oh yes.

He's still grumping, of course, but there is a slight comfort that he's not going through it alone... "Yeah, but the best they had t' come up with was 'give it time.' That's like saying 'Stop pickin' at it!'"

Date: 2008-01-23 10:12 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
"Yeah. The hair rufflin' is kinda difficult to take." She runs her fingers back through her hair, trying to put it back into place. It was bad.

She shakes her head slowly. "I dunno. Maybe there's nothin' you really can do 'bout it."

Date: 2008-01-28 04:00 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
Well, at least his was sort enough that it couldn't really get rumpled. But when he was bald, he never had to worry about these things! ... On the other hand, how horrifying would a bald chibi look?

"We could still try lookin' around at other places. I'm not gonna be much use to my job like this, so's may as well... Sides, this is Hawaii. In the past! Don'cha wanna go exploring?"

>:3, miss.

Date: 2008-01-28 06:49 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Bald chibi would be bad, yeah. Shard's hair is a lot shorter than it is when she's an adult, but it's still long enough for her to pull over her shoulder and tug at.

She looks out the window, chewing on her bottom lip. "Hawai'i? Is that where we are?" She only knew it as where Mister Alfred and Bruce were, after all. "I've only been told not to go too close to the water."

Not that she would. Water was dangerous.

Date: 2008-01-31 06:01 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
Whereas you couldn't PAY him enough to take that jerry-curl mullet back, nosir. "Yeah, we're on the islands back around 2008... long story. But nice thing is that you can actually go into the water just fine, nowadays!" He'd take her scuba-diving if he could, but... Hmm, maybe a glass-bottomed boat?

"We could have fun an' look around, at least."

Date: 2008-01-31 06:47 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
That was probably for the best, all said. Not that Shard didn't like her brother with hair and all, but...yeah.

And Bishop. Shard can't swim. Scuba would be a bad idea.

She grins, though, bouncing a little. "You're sure it's safe? The water, I mean." It takes her a moment to wiggle down from the bed.

Date: 2008-02-06 04:50 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
The dreadlocks weren't too bad, but it was still just too 90's. And pff, what better way to learn swimming than when you're literally incapable of drowning?

"Yeah, I've done it before." He smiled. "It's REAL fun. We'll have to pick you out a swimsuit, though!" ...Crap, and one for him too! None of his will fit.

Okay, grab Shard by the hand; basic Buddy System techniques apply. (Also basic 'secret tracker you planted on her with a hug' techniques apply, but no reason to mention that.)

Date: 2008-02-06 05:03 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Given that the girl has a perma-mullet (of a sort), she probably shouldn't say anything about Bishop's hair, that's all.

"Okay!" Really, it sounds like fun to her. And all that water out there looks really nice. She grabs his hand, totally seeming to forget that she's actually taller than Bishop at the moment.

Date: 2008-02-06 05:36 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
...You mean that wasn't deliberate? Next you'll be saying that she isn't bleaching! *Shock, no really*

Lot better than the grungy sludge-liquid she remembers hearing about, aye? Bishop takes the lead, and one quick time-break later, they're at a storefront shop with, *SIGH*, children's swimwear.

"Let's go in an' find something you like."

Date: 2008-02-06 05:54 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
It might have been, but shush.

It definitely is that and Shard bounces a little outside the shop. No, she definitely doesn't remember anything like this from the camps.

She steps inside, still holding tight to Bishop's hand as she looks around. No, she's pretty clueless about all this.

Date: 2008-02-09 11:36 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] nobodysbishie.livejournal.com
He grins a little at the bouncy!Shard, even if he has to look up to do it. Sheesh, being a little big brother is even less fun than it sounds.. Eh, gotta love a happy Shard. This has been a policy of Bishop's life waaaay too long to be changing it now!

Espying the counter-gal of the little place, he waves his hand a little to get her attention. "Excuthe me, mith, but could you pleathe help my thithter find a ruffle-free thwimthuit?" ..It was about halfway through that little speech that he realized what was coming out, the rest being managed on autopilot as he tried to stare at his tongue in horror.

Dear Xavier, it was getting worthe.

Date: 2008-02-09 11:48 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] shard-bishop.livejournal.com
Now Bishop knew what she'd gone through her entire life! Being a little sister is hard!

Shard looked down at Bishop, brows pulled down. It wasn't horror, but more along the lines of, What IS that coming out of your mouth?

She bit her lip, looking up at lady. "Just somethin' simple." And cheap, probably. Did they even HAVE any money?
