Game 1 Outline |
You agree with Boomera's proposal immediately. I mean, who wouldn't? Not only will you get super-rich, plus you get to hang around a cute girl, even if she IS a kangaroo...
You just think that things in your life are going great for once, when you hear your cell phone ring. You check the caller ID, and it's your friend Steve, who's house-sitting when you're on your vacation. "Hoo boy", you say to yourself. "How am I going to explain this to him?" You pick up the phone. "Yello?"
"Hey man. You're out of dish soap. How much should I get?" "Can you get two boxes, just to be on the safe side? I'll pay you for them when I get back." "'Kay. So, how's your vacation going?" Hoo boy. Here comes the Federal Bureau of Vacation Investigation... "Well, the good news is I'm going to be rich very quickly." "Dude, that's awesome! How?" "I'm, uh, going to Vegas." "And you're that confident?" "No, I'm not going because of that." "Well, than what?" "I've offered to become a manager of an up-and-coming boxer." "Wow, that'll pay big! Who're you managing?" "Well, I doubt you'll have heard of her..." "Her!?" "Uh, yes..." "Dude, tell me if I'm being sexist, but I haven't heard of many female boxers..." "Well, you don't know the half of it", you thought to yourself. "What else should I know?" Uh oh. You'd actually just said it aloud. No way to weasel out of it now. "She's...well...not...exactly...human..." "WHAT!?" "She's, um...a kangaroo." "A kangaroo? Dude, isn't that, like, outlawed in several countries as animal abuse?" "Oh, no, she's consented." "CONSENTED!? But a kangaroo..." "Don't believe me? I'll put her on!" "WHA--" You pass the phone to Boomera. "Hello. This is Boomera." "What...are you supposed to be..." "The kangaroo? Yes." "But kangaroos can't..." "Talk? Geez, this will take some explaining, but I don't want to use too many of your friend's minutes--" "This is you, isn't it, Meg?" "Uh, no, my name's Boomera--" "Right, right, and you're a talking kangaroo. Did you really think you could fool me, Meg? With that horrible Austrailian accent? That is so fake, Meg. Even I'm not that gullible." "Wha-" "See ya, Meg." Steve hung up.
"Meg??" Boomera asks you. "She's no one you'd know. Just someone who does stuff like pretending to be kangaroos over the phone." "My accent isn't fake! Just because I don't say things like "g'day mate" all the time doesn't mean I'm not Australian!" "Eh, Steve's always not been particularly bright. Now c'mon. Let's go to Vegas."
