The creases in Weiss’s sheets which she herself had created when she fell onto them now towered above her, spreading out before her like a sea of hills and valleys. In the distance, her pillow loomed even larger and beyond the edge of her bed the rest of the room was an impossibly vast expanse. Her gaze travelled upwards to Ruby’s bed, which now hung above her with the appearance of some massive structure just waiting for a chance to crush her into paste. All at once the sheer magnitude of her situation crashed down upon her and Weiss wanted to curl up into ball and just pretend that all of this wasn’t happening.
Clutching her hands to her head the fencer felt tears forming in the corner of her eyes as she underwent a mild panic attack. She couldn’t understand how this had happened. Even the most volatile of dust mixtures shouldn’t have this kind of effect. Yet she couldn’t deny the reality that was unfolding before her eyes, the changed world that now towered above her.
A loud bang echoed through the room and Weiss immediately whirled around to see what had happened, her instincts expecting some form of attack. What she saw instead was the dorm room’s door swinging open and the rest of her team piling in, now impossibly huge colossi that literally towered over her. They may as well have been moving mountains from Weiss’s perspective, each of them hundreds of times her height and able to shake the earth with their booming footsteps.
She was used to being smaller than her teammates. Even Ruby was taller than her when she wasn’t wearing her heels (not that she ever took them off if she could avoid it), but this was on a whole different level. Every part of them was bigger than her whole body, and she had no doubt that they could snuff out her life without even noticing if she wasn’t careful. After all, did most people even notice when they crushed a bug beneath their uncaring feet. Heading towards the edge of her bed, Weiss could tell her friends were chatting casually but the cacophony of noise was so much that it took the shrunken student a moment to properly comprehend their speech.
Dumping her backpack beside the door, Ruby quickly scanned the room and noticed the absence of her partner, taking no notice at all of the tiny white bug scrambling across the heiress’s sheets. “That’s weird. Didn’t Weiss say she was staying behind to study or something?” She was sure it had been something like that. She remembered her disappointment that the girl wouldn’t join them.
Shrugging, Yang threw her own backpack up onto her bed as Blake more carefully laid hers at the foot of her own. “Who knows? Maybe she went to the library or something. She had to know we’d come back here eventually, so maybe she just wanted to make sure she wasn’t disturbed.” Her Faunus partner nodded in agreement as she absently brushed a few stray hairs from her vest.
At any other time Weiss would probably had been pleased by Yang reaching a fairly logical conclusion like that, but as it was she wished they’d all put a bit more thought into her absence. Standing as close to the edge of her mattress as she dared, the tiny girl waved her arms and attempted to call out to her teammates. Unfortunately at her scale the vocalisations weren’t even tiny squeaks to the other girls and her movements remained beneath their notice.
Conceding that her sister was probably right, Ruby turned back to her and Weiss’s side of the room and headed to her bed, casually kicking off her boots in the process and lifting her stocking-clad foot to step down on the edge of her partner’s bed and lever herself up to her bunk. Not even sparing a glance for the little white bug that stood in the path of her foot.
