2 (It came from the dairy aisle, Day 3)
[If the past couple of days hadn't been crazy enough, what with the few people she knew being... just off, and then that big red blob of disgusting cherry goo, today Kono gets a face full of gas on her way out to work this morning.]
[Action A - Zemekis Corp. Offices, morning]
[Kono's noticing by the time she gets to work that she's starting feel a little taller. As the morning continues, she notices the coffee cup she continues to refill for whoever just called her "doll" is getting smaller and smaller in her hand. She decides to go find non-drone employees to see if they are having the same problems. If you're working today, you'll see a slowing growing Kono looking for answers.]
[Action B - 463 Stone Street, afternoon]
[Kono's sitting on her lawn, now too big to fit in a building. She's trying to figure out a battle plan for what to do about this problem. If you're walking or a neighbor, feel free to stop and talk, or possibly plan with her.]
[Action C - Highway, early evening]
[Kono figures here she's less likely to crush an unsuspecting person, and also dammit she's going to at least try to find a way out. Maybe if she hits the border she'll turn back to normal. If you're on the highway, feel free to tell her the plan won't work, or if you have a better idea to turn back, feel free to share.]

Re: C
Hey, what're you looking at so closely?
no subject
There.
no subject
What's there? I don't see anything.

An explosion occurred near this site at approximately 6:13:10 AM; the location was noted in initial investigation through the triangulation of points based on observed landmarks.
no subject
So you're investigating what happened. That's a good idea, considering things seem to keep happening each day. Have you figured out any clues to what caused it yet?
no subject
[Yuki will lower her pointing hand, the act of which will hopefully draw attention to the site again. It's pretty nondescript.]
...No further data has been acquired.
no subject
Hm. But hey, you have a start if you've figured out this is where everything started yesterday.
I'm Kono, by the way. Need any help?
no subject
Yuki Nagato.
...........Your present state is non-conducive to assistance.

They are impossible.
no subject
What do you mean, they? The things in the sky I keep hearing about?
no subject
All those who have been affected would not survive under Earth's atmospheric pressure.

[She'll give up staring at the nondescript spot now and turn her attentions solely to the giant woman.]
It is of interest.

Nothing can be done.

.....
...
[Kono might be too large to see Yuki's mouth clearly or hear the noise that resembles a tape being played in reverse. Nonetheless, Yuki will make her proclamation once more when she is finished.]
...I am sure. The town will likely remove its effects by the end of the day.
no subject
So, you know, for sure, that I'll be back to normal at the end of the day.
no subject
There is a chance of error. That is an observation made based on previous occurrences; none of the incidents utilizing stereotypical horror elements have lasted longer than a day.
no subject
no subject
Plus or minus 5.392%.
[Yuki quantifies it anyway.]
no subject
Ok. I think I can live with that. By the end of the night I'll be normal again.
I hope.

B - Fellow big neighbor here! (Hope you don't mind the backtag!)
Howdy, ma'am.
[HIs voice has a mechanical echo to it, but he otherwise sounds like he could be just another human. A Texan one at that.]
Heh—guess bein' "large an' in charge" ain't all it's cracked up to be, ain't it?
[He's currently trying to negotiate the pedestrians and cars on the street. Even if most of them are drones, he clearly doesn't want to hurt any of them.]
Nope, no worries, backtagging's totally cool these days :)
Howdy yourself. I'm personally hating the large part.
I'm Kono. You are...?
:D!
How've you been holdin' up today?
Re: :D!
How about you, Gat?
no subject
So far, this's been th' only time this week that somethin's affected me personally. Town didn't replace me with one of them clones, an' I was able to keep from gettin' taken by that slime.
[He glances to the side for a moment.]
It's sure been merciful compared to th' things I've seen 'em do in th' past few months, though.
no subject
So I keep hearing. Something about zombies. I'll take being 30 feet to being a zombie, that's for sure.
I'm trying to come up with an idea on how to switch back, though. Any ideas?
no subject
[He pauses, remembering how quick Dakki succumbed to it after being bitten.]
As for reversin' this growth spurt ...
[Gat strokes his "chin" with a thumb and forefinger.]
Well, I ain't too sure. I reckon we could just wait it out, if'n it's going to be like th' past two days an' things'll be back to normal come tomorrow.
no subject
I'm not seeing too many other options though. Other than try to leave, but that doesn't work.
no subject
There's one thing that might work, but I ain't gonna suggest riskin' it.
no subject
Risk what, exactly?
no subject
Anybody tell ya about th' Post Office?
no subject
no subject
[Gat rubs the back of his neck.]
But there ain't no guarantee he'd do that for ya, or—given his inclination—that he'd do it just how you want it.
no subject
You know, maybe waiting it out isn't such a bad idea.
no subject
Far as incidents go, it ain't been all that bad, so that's what I'd suggest.
[He glances down for a moment, at one of his hands.]
'Specially considerin' how this could've gone.
no subject
I'm guessing you've been through worse here, haven't you?
no subject
Yeah—when me an' my coworker first arrived here in th' town a few months back, th' Milkman at th' Mayfield Dairy took over as Chief of Police. He made it a law to drink a bottle of his milk each day—an' we're talkin' milk that's either poisoned, fulla fazors or spiders, or psychoactive chemicals.
If'n you didn't, he'd turn somebody in th' family into a drone for a day. Only that person would have murder on their minds.
[A beat.]
That's what he did to me, after we'd tried jus' not drinkin' any.
no subject
Wow. I'm sorry you went through that. Did you...
Nevermind, it's ok. I'm glad it wasn't permanent, or we'd have a problem. But I'm sorry anyway.
no subject
Naw, it ain't no thing. I didn't kill anybody. My coworker neutralized me before I could do any real harm.
[Never going to forget what it feels like to have a frying pan to the face. Then having to wait for the body to heal naturally.]
