One End to Another
#4 of Livestream
In Kitsunekit's stream, it was apparently a roo night. Roos everywhere. So I did a story involving a growing roo. Its short and on a whim, I just let myself go, so enjoy
"Yes, yes, I know. Hurrying."
"You don't need to get snappy with me."
"I'm working as best as I can!"
"You do know I actually can't understand you, right?"
A young brown deer sighed, readjusting her lab coat as she slowly boiled a vial of red liquid over a Bunsen burner. Beside her, on the table, a tiny dot was busy squeaking at her constantly. It was her professor, a gray roo by the name of Professor Kalial. They were experimenting on a new mass reduction medicine to help with weight loss. Unfortunately, the deer, Daniel, had set the boiler too hot and some of the medicine popped onto the roos hand. That tiny amount of the high concentrate liquid was enough to shrink him down to below millimeters. Luckily, they had some special eye wear to see smaller things, and she was able to find the roo. Now, she was trying to quickly counteract the concoction.
"Okay, I think this should do it." She phewed as she sat the beaker on the tray, letting it cool before getting a pipette, taking out just a millimeter of the liquid. She held it over the tiny spec, gulping a bit.
"Ready sir? This should restore you to normal. I hope..." As she dropped the tiny drop of liquid over the spot, engulfing him.
She took a step back, watching as the spec slowly began to grow and grow, becoming more discernible. Finally, the roo had hit an inch in height and still going, as he looked over himself.
"Good so far Danny, good so far..." the swelling roo nodded as he expanded, getting to a foot, then two, going to the edge of the table. Daniel wiped her brow.
"Thank you sir."
Once large enough, Kalial hopped off the table, standing before his assistant as he continued upwards, smirking.
"If anything, be proud of yourself. While I may have invented a weight loss medicine, you may have invented the way to stop world hunger!" He laughed, clasping a paw on her shoulder.
"Thank you sir. I hope this means you've forgiven me."
"All water under the bridge my dear. Now, where did you put my clothes?" He humpfed as he began to look under the table, still growing. Daniel gulped again, going wide eyed.
"Uh sir...."
"Now, now Danny, don't worry! Everything's fine!" As he grabbed his button down shirt, trying to put it on, finding it too small. He then noticed he was starting to look down at her more than usual.
"Danny...you did take into consideration how my small of a size would react to the concentrate of the formula...right...?" He glared down...and down...
"Well no...I....forgot..." she gulped up as the roo's head hit the ceiling.
"Quick! Get the shrinking formula again!" Kalial quickly sat down, his sides starting to push the tables away as he continued to expand.
"I can't I disposed of it because I thought we screwed up." She yelped, dodging a massive foot as it grew forward.
"Danny....!" The growing roo groaned, trying to stay as low as he could, to the floor, feeling his body expanding in all directions. Daniel went for the door, but the massive marsupial's tail grew forward, blocking it. She quickly dodged again and backed up till she fell back onto the roo's snout. Despite his head on the ground, his ears were still brushing the ceiling, his rear starting to collapse the back wall as his legs pressed harder against the windows. Wincing, he waited for his body to just explode outwards, the building to collapse, but it never occurred.
Kalial opened his eye slowly, looking about as he realized he had finally stopped, phewing, then focusing on the small deer on his snout.
"Okay Danny. Climb down and try to find a way out, then get some help." He rumbled to her. Nodding, she crawled over to the side of the snout, looking down. From there, she got a perfect view of the table he was once formally trapped on, the metal table bent and nearly folded flat against the wall. That's when she noticed a beaker of red liquid teetering on the edge, and falling forward, landing on a large gray finger and draining the contents into the fur.
"Uh oh..."
"Danny? What was that-?" The roo went wide eyed as he suddenly just surged in size, the buildings walls and roof exploding outward like a bomb had gone off as the gray marsupial began to overtake campus, the massive and still expanding rump covering more and more of the foundation as the massive paws began to spill out onto the street. Daniel clinged to the muzzle for dear life, the force of the constant rising into the air, barely giving her any freedom to move anyway.
Kalial tried to stand, but with the constant shifting of balance, he stumbled back, landing onto a few buildings as he cringed, cars and dwindling people running for their lives from the massive marsupial.
"Sorry! Sorry!" He gasped, trying to stand once again and succeeding, but already passing over 200ft tall, and showing no signs of stopping. His already massive feet pressed further and further outward, starting to pierce and tumble homes themselves, uprooting pavement, and crunching cars. His thick tail dug a trench going all the way into downtown, and slowly back out the other end.
Kalial was too afraid to move, not wanting to step on anyway, but that wasn't doing much, as even the tallest buildings beside his former workplace were encroaching him, pinning and squishing at first, before his growing body began to win, and push the two skyscrapers apart.
On and on he grew, covering more and more of the city with his paws alone, looming more and more before he carefully lifted a foot and stepped outside the city limits, taking a breath. Unfortunately, in that same breathe he swallowed a plane and a few clouds, and forgot to take into his tail, as it came crashing down and smushed what was left of the decimated city. Groaning, he watched as the landscaped shifted just by his weight alone, cracks forming and spanning further and further away, his toes starting to overtake mountains now as he could see little splotches of gray darting the land, other cities who were having the horizon filled with gray roo.
"Daniel, how big is this going to make me?" He rumbled, peering at his nose. The deer was lost though in the forest of gray "short" fur, trying to yell up to her professor.
"Great, I can't understand you anyway." He mumbled, starting to see the curvature of the planet.
"Well, I always wanted to see the world..."
