Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Face the music and dance ...

Finally, you decide to climb out, even though being naked still makes you feel funny. But, after all, you're effectively an animal now ... nobody's going to arrest a hippo for indecent exposure. Besides, you'd like to get away before Animal Control shows up, though you're not sure how you can hide from them as a hippo ...

Resolved, you reach forward and place one broad, flat foot on the ladder rungs ...

<KERUNK>

... and watch as the ladder rung sinks to the bottom of the pool. You're not getting out that way. And the edge of the pool is too high for you to clamber over.

You could always head for the shallow end, of course. But not all pools have a shallow end. If this one doesn't, you won't be able to get out before the police figure out you're trying to escape ... and those aren't tranquilizer guns they're holding ...

On the other hand, you could wait and let Animal Control get you out. It'll take a crane, of course, like on those nature shows ... but once out, you might get an opportunity for a quick escape. Assuming they don't tranquilize you, of course ...

Or, you sigh contentedly to yourself, I could just sink down to the bottom of the pool for a while and enjoy the swim some more ... You dimly recognize that your desire to leave the water is definitely waning. You need to do something soon, or you won't want to do anything!

What do you do?
