- What if big Orchid met little Orchid?
- -----------------------------------------------------
- >All the publicity of late has brought kaiju back into popularity.
- >The only one still known to exist swims around en miniature on a screen located just next to a console by the door.
- >Not as small as the surprise in your box, however.
- >As a lifelong shut-in, she was chronically underexposed to life outside the dome.
- >As the official kaiju handler, you were making it a mission of yourself to fix this.
- "Orchid, I have a present!"
- >You reach into your lunchbox and root around while the kaiju watches, mystified.
- >"Is it chips?"
- "Better."
- >Her eyes glow with enthusiasm as you bring something out of the box.
- "Tada!"
- >She squints at it and cocks her head to the side.
- >"What is that?"
- >You hold it up higher and she scrunches her face in confusion.
- "Can you see what it is?"
- >She inhales sharply as you uncurl your fingers around the object and display it in the palm of your hand.
- >"It's a teeny tiny puppy!"
- "What? No, it's a toy."
- >She frowns and furtively looks away for a moment.
- >"It's a kaiju action figure."
- >That was oddly specific.
- >She catches the face you made for a second and explains.
- >"Daddy collected them in the lab."
- "Uh, huh."
- >You grunt and hold it as far up as you can.
- "But it's not just any! Look who it is!"
- >She stares at it for a few moments before she adopts a nervous, almost panicky expression.
- >"Who? Are there new kaiju?"
- "No, it's you!"
- >Her jaw drops.
- >You want to ask how she doesn't recognize herself but there is a total and utter lack of large mirrors in the kaiju chamber.
- >If it was all the same, she hung on the mere idea that she had an action figure.
- >"I... why?"
- "You're famous!"
- >"I-I am?!"
- >You failed to note that the toy was just labeled "Tame Training Kaiju," and like its living, larger self, mostly served to act as something for jaegers to beat up.
- >The monsterhorse stammered, suddenly much more energetic.
- >"I'm... so...so... happy!"
- >She lurches in a hop, driving a wave of water.
- >Being behind the SPLASH ZONE sign did not help.
