Alexa arrived at work at her usual scheduled time, like she had been doing for a while now. It has become a routine at this point, and while there were moments where she grew tired of the "same old, same old", she didn't mind the job itself, nor the environment. It was mainly due to her living conditions, being alone and not going out too often, her work at the office was where she felt she could actually do stuff. Thus, how she's been able to become so well acquainted with the office itself, and its people. She may not have had too much of a social life, but she prided herself on being very sociable at work.
Entering through the front she was surprised to see the front check-in desk was empty, usually greeted by Delia, the wife of their boss, Aaron. Instead, all Alexa could see was a package with the words "CAUTION" written on it. "Huh, I don't recall anybody ordering something like this" she said staring extensively at the box, trying to find a clue as to what's inside, only to come up dry.
Not wanting to leave it still lying around, in case one of the more "troublesome" employees came across it, Alexa took the package with her up the stairs to the office proper. She held it to her side to avoid suspicion, all the while giving nods and greetings to the workers already typing away at their cubicles.
She quickly snuck into one of the spare rooms on the floor, usually reserved for private meetings, and used the opportunity to take the initiative and investigate the package herself. Ripping up the wrapping, she opened the top of the box to see something she was not expecting. "A toy gun?" she remarked.
Now she was definitely convinced something was fishy. All they ever received was documents to be assessed, and occasionally new computers, never something "childish" like this. Picking it up, Alexa stared at it with a dumbfounded look. It had a handle that was easy to hold, a fat middle part that made up the body, and the end where the "shots" would come out. It resembled a laser gun more than anything.
Alexa found herself tinkering with the device, constantly touching several dots along the body, unaware they were in fact unmarked buttons, and due to being very sensitive, caused the "toy" to start to rev up and activate. The vibrations caught the woman off guard, causing her to become even more curious and turn the front hole to face her face. Unfortunately, she was putting pressure on the grip, which also had a sensitive button on it, and before she could prepare herself, a blast of energy emitted from the device, enveloping Alexa.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA--OOF" Alexa suddenly felt herself plummeting toward the ground before landing right on her ass. She rubbed her skirt bottoms to ease the pain, wiggling herself to stand back up, not helped by her high heels keeping her slightly off balance. Her head was aching and her vision slightly blurred as she tried to figure out what that "toy" did to her. She knew it was dangerous, but didn't realize just how dangerous yet.
As her clarity of sight and mind returned, she found herself unable to recognize her surroundings. Am I going insane? she thought. She was just in the private office, and now all she can see is a never-ending expanse of floor, with several humongous pillars extending upwards, and several boulders ranging from half her size to taller than her presiding around her.
She stared upwards at one of the pillars for what felt like several minutes until finally the air above appearing to clear out, as the image finally clicked in Alexa's head, causing her to let her jaw drop in a gasp. It was in fact a chair, a monstrous sized one that stretched on further than most buildings, and far above that was another extended structure, which sticking out from the edge, Alexa could barely make out the barrel of a familiar object.
"Oh shit..." Alexa uttered as the anxiousness finally all clicked in, her heart beating faster every moment. The "toy gun" shrunk her, and she was now somewhere less than an inch tall.
What is Alexa's next move?
