Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Nice to See You, Too.

"Wha... wha..?", you splutter, winded. At some point since you last saw him, the wolf has been promoted: still on all 4's, he's wearing a kind of black-leather doggy-jumpsuit that's form-fitting to within millimetres. It's not got any kind of insignia on it, but it practically screams, 'I Belong to an Organisation!'

Ignoring you, Fred is busily looking around the (slightly washed out) room with a professional air, giving it a slow, grim nod. Then he turns his attention to you, apparently noting your girth for the first time.

"Good God! Is this all YOU?" He scrambles about on top of you- rocking the boat, so to speak- peering over the edges of your body as if he can't quite believe it. Your scowl once again goes entirely unnoticed. As a final test, he gives your belly a tremendous poke with one foot, which from the feel of it sinks in about a foot, too. You guffaw ticklishly, and the added motion makes Fred look a little queasy.

The examination apparently over, he returns to the head end of your body, and stares down at your fat features. Now he notices that you're not too pleased about his abrupt reappearance in your life, not to mention his highly disparaging remarks about your personal appearance. He notices, but this time deliberately ignores.

"This is bad." He growls. "Very bad. We've got to get you out of here, stat, before They finish the Job."

You've finally recovered your breath,and have something coherent to day with it.

"What? Out of here? This is my home! Why should I have to leave it?" Ok, not very stirring, profound or eloquent, but at least it's an improvement. Other things start to register. "Job? What job? And who's they?"

"Good grief! Them!" Fred rolls his eyes in exasperation and thumps your belly to emphasise this. "Don't you know anything?" He growls impatiently. "Now, are you coming quietly or am I dragging you? It's for your own good!"

You blink, getting that now-familiar feeling of life slipping out of your control. Why is this kind of thing always happening to you?
