>>2746526 Ami had to get this over with, somehow. She saw the opening between the chess pieces... and her tiny naked form took off between the pawns to her left and headed forward across the board, stopping at a direct northwest angle, which she hoped would give her a direct line of assault towards the woman's king. As Ami stopped to catch her breath, a belated realization set in. That she was empty handed...! Her phone! Where had it gone!? Ami swung her gaze backwards, and she saw a massive device several feet away from the board, clearly much larger than her... a very distinct confirmation that it wasn't the world that was larger. It was her who had become that much smaller.
Ami shook her head, forcing her gaze ahead. She had to focus. The man had promised normalcy if she succeeded, and... well, he seemed to be a man of his word. She had bigger problems, anyway... literally. The ground beneath her feet shook as a towering knight piece was set down a few feet away from her, dangerously close to where she was.
“My, your little queen needs to be more careful...”
“Yes, that she does.”
“W-what if... I … I get captured...?”
“Well, then, my sweet... the game is over for you.”
“Your move, my dear.”
“Ah, of course. Keep going, little one.”
Ami looked ahead, and headed past the edge of the knight, stopping just shy of a pawn that stayed in place. If she kept this up, she might have enough pressure to force a check. Just a few more spaces and...
“Oh, how very careless.” She blinked, and turned to see the frightening sight of a painted fingernail reaching for a nearby bishop... and sending it careening towards her! She was right in its line of attack!
“Your queen is mine.”
Before Ami could even think to react, the same cold fingertips reached down, plucked Ami from the board, and all went to black.
