  2. What if big Orchid met little Orchid?
  3. -----------------------------------------------------
  4.  
  5. >All the publicity of late has brought kaiju back into popularity.
  6. >The only one still known to exist swims around en miniature on a screen located just next to a console by the door.
  7. >Not as small as the surprise in your box, however.
  8. >As a lifelong shut-in, she was chronically underexposed to life outside the dome.
  9. >As the official kaiju handler, you were making it a mission of yourself to fix this.
  10. "Orchid, I have a present!"
  11. >You reach into your lunchbox and root around while the kaiju watches, mystified.
  12. >"Is it chips?"
  13. "Better."
  14. >Her eyes glow with enthusiasm as you bring something out of the box.
  15. "Tada!"
  16. >She squints at it and cocks her head to the side.
  17. >"What is that?"
  18. >You hold it up higher and she scrunches her face in confusion.
  19. "Can you see what it is?"
  20. >She inhales sharply as you uncurl your fingers around the object and display it in the palm of your hand.
  21. >"It's a teeny tiny puppy!"
  22. "What? No, it's a toy."
  23. >She frowns and furtively looks away for a moment.
  24. >"It's a kaiju action figure."
  25. >That was oddly specific.
  26. >She catches the face you made for a second and explains.
  27. >"Daddy collected them in the lab."
  28. "Uh, huh."
  29. >You grunt and hold it as far up as you can.
  30. "But it's not just any! Look who it is!"
  31. >She stares at it for a few moments before she adopts a nervous, almost panicky expression.
  32. >"Who? Are there new kaiju?"
  33. "No, it's you!"
  34. >Her jaw drops.
  35. >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.
  36. >If it was all the same, she hung on the mere idea that she had an action figure.
  37. >"I... why?"
  38. "You're famous!"
  39. >"I-I am?!"
  40. >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.
  41. >The monsterhorse stammered, suddenly much more energetic.
  42. >"I'm... so...so... happy!"
  43. >She lurches in a hop, driving a wave of water.
  44. >Being behind the SPLASH ZONE sign did not help.
