Seymour-"A mouse madam?"

Seymour+ Rest of the Phoenix Crew
The Phoenix, flying around Blue Dwarf
The dinky Phoenix flew out of a ventilation shaft from the
Promenade's roof.
"Wow, everything looks so huge!" Said Jonny.
The tiny ship spiralled down and just missed the Promenade monorail
which hurtled past along the roof.
"That's a bit odd
" Said Phil looking at a computer screen.
Seymour looked up in shock. "Richard Strauss' production of `Ariadne
auf naxos' is coming to the Blue Dwarf?"
Everyone looked at him gone out. "
Errm, no
but I've done a sensor
scan and it looks like we're getting bigger. We're growing
exponentially and are now about the size of Lego people!"
"Good grief!" Said Seymour, and muttered some annoyance about good
operas never coming to the Dwarf. "How?"
"Well the size of an atom is only supposed to be a certain size,
when we were shrunk we forced out atoms to be smaller and they are
gradually reverting back."
"Hmm, very intereting!" Said Seymour pondering. "I once discussed an
article by Professor Francis Mueller whilst playing bridge with some
chums about the reverting of molecu
"
Everyone groaned.
"Right FINE!" Seymour bellowed and slung his nose high up in the
air. "If nobody wants to listen to my story I'll find some more
educated people who may enjoy it!" He opened the door to the Phoenix
and realised they were still high above the ground, he lost his
footing and fell out of the toy-sized ship and landed in a cup of
coffee with a small `plop'.
Fighting to swim to the top, he spat coffee out and caught his
breath. "Oh, thankyou Mister Chrysler!" he said sarcastically and
shook his fist in the air. He climbed out of the cup and fell the
short distance to the ground.
"Oh dear God! Now I will stink of coffee!" he looked around and saw
a china mug of Earl Grey next to the coffee cup. "Why couldn't I
have fallen in that at least!!"
He frantically shook off the coffee and wrung it out of his suit. He
looked around to see where he was, and guessed it was on a table
outside the Costa Coffee on the upper walkway. A woman sat at the
table looked down at him and screamed.
"AAAhhhhhh a mouse!" she shouted.
The miniature Seymour put his hands on his hips and shouted
up. "I'll have you know Madam that I m the Royal Ambassador to the
Queen and former Captain of this vessel!"
Then he dodged the hand that came down to swipe at him.
"Are you blind AND deaf madam?!" Seymour said adjusting his bow tie.
"No I heard you," she said. "I just hate the royal family and I hate
this ship even more!"
Seymour looked around for another form of escape.
<Tag! Anyone want to help Seymour out? Jay's away so we can use him
as an NPC for the time being and write him controlling the Phoenix
wherever we want>
