Another bout of shrinkage would hit the lurantis as she stepped off of the pillow, nearly making her tumble from the required shift in stance but managed to recover. Once she was steady, she would look to the fomantis plush on the bed, though could only see a portion of it now since the end of the bed was starting to be equal to her current eye sight level. Stepping around, the lurantis would reach over and grab hold of the fomantis plush, the zipper on its back still left open and the object resting inside much like she seen last time. Being less than double the size of the plush now, and likely able to get to things a bit easier, the lurantis would try to get a better look at the object that rested within the plush's insides. It looked to be a device similar to the one in the pillow yes, but like the one on the television, no visible switches were seen on its surface, the lurantis sighing as she tossed the fomantis plush onto the bed. Likely something she'd need the joltik's help for.

Looking back to the television, she would move back over to it, stepping onto a stepping stool-pillow to see that the surface of the table was just barely level with her eyesight, sighing as she looked to the joltik that had stayed on the table. She wondered if she really would get out of this chamber while still at a large size...or manage to get out at just barely the joltik's size, maybe even smaller. The thought bothered her enough that she took the moment to weep, to get it out of her system. When she felt the tiny tapping from the joltik, she would sniffle a bit before smiling, holding her arms out for it and gave the smaller electric tick a light hug, turning her attention back to the device before her, glancing back down to the joltik. She would ask the joltik if it could try to discharge a bit on the object on the back of the device, the smaller pokemon nodding before turning and leaping off back onto the table, skittering around the device and out of sight.

The lurantis would hear its claws clacking against the back of the object, wanting to move to where she could see what the joltik was doing but held off from it when she saw sparks starting to jump from behind the screen. She would step back and off of the pillow if to put a bit of distance between her and the screen in case the discharge from the joltik was more damaging than it looked, seeing the screen flicker slightly before going blank again. A beep would sound out from the device, the lurantis smiling as she looked to the sink, though her smile faded into a confused expression when she saw that there wasn't a third green light on. She was able to catch the sound of a click, but from where she couldn't pinpoint since it was somewhere past the bed. Looking back to the television set, she would step back up onto the pillow, smiling as she ducked her head slightly to allow the awaiting joltik to climb back on, reaching up and gave it a small pat as thanks for all of its help. She would jolt though when she thought back to the sink, her gaze snapping back to it.

While she did find the ribbon that was still stuck to her chest in one of the drawers, she realized that she never did look inside the other one, and it was starting to look like it was getting out of reach for her current stature, confirmed when she ran over to it. No way she would be able to climb up onto the surface now without some kind of help, the pillows the only likely thing that would work, so she would have to resort to opening the drawer from below. Hooking her claws to the right drawers handles, she would try to tug only for them to slip right out, not having enough leverage to pry it open. Thinking quickly, she would run back over and grab one of the pillows, not noticing the lack of a weight on her head until after she returned to the sink again, setting the pillow down and stepped onto it once more. She saw the joltik resting on the edge just above the drawer she was trying to open, realizing that it wouldn't be able to help her this time, looking to the handle. With the added height from the pillow, she would hook her claws onto it again, this time having enough leverage to work on pulling. Much to her annoyance, this one was held fast in its spot, grunting as she pulled with all of her might.

A click was all she heard before she found herself flying back from the sudden slack of the drawer flying out and open, it jolting to a stop due to its railing but the lurantis would find herself falling from the pillow and onto her back, hitting her head a bit hard and knocked into a daze. A few minutes later and she would snap out of it, with a little help of the joltik trying to do mild zaps to get her to come back to, rubbing the back of her head as the smaller bug hopped off of her forehead, looking to the drawer once her senses cleared up enough. It was open, that she was glad for, stepping back up onto the pillow and saw that there was another device, the light on it green yet still no third green light from the sink's mirror. Guessing there's a third one of this chain, but where it was she had no clue, looking to the rest of the chamber, simultaneously running out of spots to check and yet gaining new ones to search.

Now starting to have difficulty reaching some items, being just over three and a half feet in size. How much further will she go before she manages to find a way out?

Round seven poll is closed. Thank you all for voting!

Yep, there is a new category for the votes now, the Very High options have double the potency of High votes. Vote wisely though, since they can make things difficult for the lurantis if she gets too small before finding a way out. So close yet the rates keep getting higher as she nears the possible end.
