Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

A New Perspective

You stagger back a little, and look at Fred. "D'you think this is going.. to.." You stutter to a stop as something odd about the view finally sinks in ... somehow, your perspective is a little low. You look down to see 2 pairs of paws supporting you. And Fred has put on a lot of weight!

He opens his ... erm ... your eyes, and looks around him. "Well, I'll be", he mutters, still in his voice, you notice, "It worked. It really worked!" Automatically, he tries to stand. His new bodyweight pitches him forward onto the floor, and his belly. He struggles a little, and manages to look at you. "Great! Now I'm going to have to get up!"

You try to walk forward to help, but your legs tangle beneath you and you collapse next to Fred. Obviously you'll need a bit of practice at this quadruped stuff. But on the plus side, you're mobile again! And very speedy, too! After a few shaky steps, you start to get the hang of it. You turn and grin at Fred, who's managed to work himself into a sitting position.

He gives you a lopsided grin. "Right. You go find Raffles and the antidote, I'll lose this weight. Then we change back. The sooner the better!" Fred puffs and laboriously starts to raise himself. You can't believe how fat he/you look. Oddly, he looks kind of cute, in a hefty way. Impulsively, you trot over and headbut him in the gut. He 'oofs' and sits back down, rubbing his vast belly. Even odder, a slight smile appears on his fat features. Then he shakes himself (a very impressive sight) and says gruffly "You still here?"

Turning, you make for the door in search of a cure.
