Subject: Height Changes

Greetings. This is Black Raisin Cookie.

Let me just preface this, as I feel I will probably always have to do, that yes, I am a Cookie.

I've been here for roughly two months now, and one thing that's become very clear is that I am perhaps one of the smallest people here. For reference, I appear to be able to fit in the palm of the average human's hand. As such, many buildings and furniture and even food are massively larger than I am.

I am aware that Dreamotion can be used to master the elements, and depending on how it's utilized, can even change one's appearance. I'm still trying to adjust to Dreamotion through rigorous daily training. But I'm still very inexperienced with it. So my question is - can it or any other form of magic here be used to change my height?

I am not asking for a permanent solution. My size can come in use. But I have to admit, taking several jumps in order to reach a table's surface can be annoying. 

I also don't wish to tire out my Raisin Crows, who often fly me long distances. 

Speaking of them, if they've taken any loose hairs of yours, I apologize for their behavior. Christmas got them overwhelmed.

Oh, um -- let's see, how to describe them...

Well traditionally they are mechanical or magical automatons. But I'm more referring to, um, drivable ones. Basically robots that you can drive, that aren't like... necessarily made of metal.

[cawpatrol]

I am vaguely familiar with the some of those terms. I admit, when it comes to magic and technology, my village was very behind compared to the rest of Earthbread. We were very poor and desolate, with little to our names save for the clothes on our back and how we could help one another.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

That's okay! I don't know about others, but here, I'm glad to help you out! I don't know much about technology; for that, I think you might need to talk to Alastor or maybe Flowey about that... but I can at least help with the magic side of things, if you'd like help with learning Dreamotion.

[cawpatrol]

I'm well acquainted with Alastor. but I would appreciate any and all guidance when it comes to Dreamotion. In my world, not everyone can perform magic, so this is still very surprising and perplexing to me.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

I think Dreamotion is different for different people -- but the way I looked at it when I first got here, was by trying to find the unfamiliar part of me and kind of pushing on that to see what happened.

Um. It probably won't hurt you, but fair warning, you may not have control over it when you first work out how to use it. I got myself trapped in some vines, for instance.

[cawpatrol]

I understand. The first time I used it, I was trying to create a large stream of water, but could only manage a few droplets at a time.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Oh, water, that's really cool! Um, no pun intended. It might help you get a handle on it to manipulate existing water first, and then move on to creating it; it's how I work with my plant-based Dreamotion best.

Oh, also, trying it somewhere that's more humid, like a spa or something.

[cawpatrol]

I see your point. When I created water, it was water from my world, which is vastly different than the water in this one.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Oh, really? I had no idea water in other worlds could be -- different, like that. What's it like?

[cawpatrol]

Apparently, the water in this world doesn't have any fizz or bubbles naturally.

[ In other words, her water... is soda pop. ]

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Oh! Um, there's a word for that, I think. I can't remember what it is, but... Oh! Carbonated, that's it.

That's really interesting! Once you work it out more, I bet you could help at a cafe or something.

[cawpatrol]

I don't think me working at anything related to food would be a good idea.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

I... didn't think about that.

[Ralsei's current existence is somewhere between the states of 'embarrassed' and 'restraining laughter at himself'.]

Anyway! I hope you're able to figure something out! I'm sure there's lots of people here who'd appreciate that kind of help, if you can get something working for yourself.

[cawpatrol]

I appreciate the sentiment, and am grateful for your advice. Thank you.
