Piglet's 20th Adventure

[verysmallpig]

[Hard worked-at Video]
[The tiny plush form of Piglet scurries back and forth across the carpet, quite agitated. He dares a peek over at the device and nearly jumps out of his skin... fabric when he sees the little red light beaming from his network device. Excitedly, he races over and wrings his little paws while stammering at anyone who might happen to be listening.]

O-oh! Th-thank goodness! I've b-been trying to get you to l-light up for days! I-I Thought you w-were broken...

[He swallows hard, and blinks nervously, getting back to the point.]

H-has... has anyone t-talked to Christopher D-Daniel or S-Sam lately? They h-haven't been home for a v-very long time and I w-went to the Please Apart-ment to find them. Th-they are always working Very Hard, you see... and I must have just Missed them... I m-mean Keep Missing them...

[Piglet glances back at the very Large and empty apartment and is unable to keep from sniffing a bit.]

I-it's g-getting a little l-lonely w-with no one to t-talk to...

Such an innocent desire. What do you wish to talk about?

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd j-just like to know if a-anyone's seen them so that they can c-come home soon. Th-they're both Very Tall and are People like Christopher Robin. B-but different...

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Can't say I know them, nor this Christopher Robin you speak of. Also that's not the best descriptor. Many people are tall... especially compared to your height if I'm seeing correctly.

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes... I am, after all, a Very small animal. The apart-ment is their sized...

[As if this clears any of it up.

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I don't know how tall they are compared to... let's say me. Tall means nothing in solving this mystery sadly.

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

... h-how tall are you?

[Fixed on the topic as being quite tall or very small is something Piglet can grasp fairly easily. At least compared to himself...]

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Taller than you. About the same as every one else.

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

Oh, I s-see. That is Quite Tall...

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. It's average for us at least.

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Don't be lonely! [He's such a cute little piggy!]

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

[Such an exclamation clearly startles the little pig. His paws pull up to his chest and he fumbles with the fabric of his striped jumper.]

I-I'm a-alright...

[He doesn't really look it however.]

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

W-well... I Think so. That is, I think I'd be much more sure if Christopher Daniel were here...

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Who's Christopher Daniel?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

...there's the possibility that they aren't in The City anymore.

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

H-have they gone off on an adventure? M-maybe going on an expotition to the North Pole? Oh, dear dear... and they left me behind....

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

There's no way they could get that far. I'm sorry but the signs are pointing towards you being the sole occupant of that apartment now.

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

M-maybe they'll be back soon. Y-yes... I'm sure that's it.

[Still not quite getting it. Or perhaps not wanting to. It is, after all, very scary to be such a very small animal in a place like the City.]

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

Maybe they were sent back home.

Are you all right?

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

[Piglet whirls around, his little head craning to see behind him in the apartment.]

C-Christopher Daniel? S-S-Sam?

[He misses that last part.]

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's possible they're names are in The Hall of the Missing, isn't it? I know it's not a pleasant thought, but, with this place, it's possible.

[He gives the plush a sympathetic look.]

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

The what?

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

It's a place in The City where people's names are listed who've gone back home.

Is his middle name actually Daniel? :o I did not know that.

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

Of the Police Force?

I'm sorry [the slightest of pauses] sir, but they've unfortunately left.

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

Then... then th-they're on their way home? I s-stopped by a f-few times but I think I m-must have missed them...

Did Christopher Daniel get the lunch I left on his table?

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

They've left the City.

And yep!

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Your friends are all gone...? I'm sorry. [Hitting close to home there.]

[verysmallpig.livejournal.com]

I-I hope that nothing Bad has happened to them. There are a lot of v-very frightful things here.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

That's true, but...there are a lot of good things, too. And good people. Maybe your friends found them instead.
