Drink Your Vaccine And Let's Shrink
Dinadan jumps a bit in as his father claps a hand on his shoulder.

"Everything's set up, kiddo," Ray says. "I'll be in the next room if the pair of you get in trouble or decide you want adult supervision."

"Thanks Dad," Dinadan says. "Anything goes wrong, we'll shout. But I'm pretty sure I can handle it."

Ray glances at the veritable nest his son has built of notes on the shrinking technology.

"I'm sure you can," he answers, shaking his head. "What do you think, pizza for dinner?"

"Sounds good. I'll ask Petra what she wants when she gets here, I don't want to call her in cast she's en route."

Today's the last phase of making sure that Petra can safely use the shrinking technology inherent in the Atom belt: actually testing it out. That part should be easy enough, it ought to go well, and then they can work on some of the basic things you need to know while being six inches tall.

Though Dinadan's already swept the room for rats. Nobody enjoys fighting a giant rat the first time they shrink.

	"All this, a vacation, and super-strength too? You spoil a girl, Mister Palmer." Petra winks at him. "Sure, where do we start?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay, the two buttons we haven't messed with yet control your density -- right one can increase your weight up to what you weigh at your full height, the one on the left makes you lighter. The more dense you are, the stronger you are. At your densest, you could jump about as far as you can as a human, but that's a lot farther when you're six inches tall. You do have to make sure of your footing though, because all that weight is concentrated on a smaller area, a bit like stomping on someone's instep with your bare foot verses stomping on their foot when you're wearing high heels.

"As for where to start..." He leaned forward and poked her in the arm. "Tag!" he said, and took off across the carpet like his butt was on fire.

Petra's busy doing math about her last long-jump records from a fitness day her gym sponsored, and then about to protest about mistreatment of innocent heels. She's caught off-guard by the poke, and laughs and sputters as she grins.

"Hey! Come back here, nerd!" She operates the belt as he instructed, and starts to run after him. Her initial few steps end up launching her into the air, tumbling ankles over ass in an arc that goes right over Din.
