Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

King of the Jungle Gym

You see yourself, but your gaze is drawn to a muscular lion now standing over you instead of Albert. You do a double take, the distraction enough for you to begin losing your grip and your focus returns to trying to push the weight off you. Then you see the Lion right above you. "GAH!!!" you say, dropping the weight, only for the lion to grab it and pull it off you, "Careful," he says, in Albert's voice, "Don't strain yourself." you roll over, staring, "Albert?" you ask. "Yes?" says the Lion. "What just happened?" says Fred, who is now backed away as well. "What are you two..." says Albert, before he suddenly notices something, and feels his face and looks at his hands. He looks at the mirror then screams. "What happened!!!" he says, "Why am I covered in fur?"

He makes a run for the locker room, you and Fred exchange worried glances before following. You find Albert examining himself at the mirror, alternating between expressions of awe and those of fear. "I got to admit," he says after a time, "I don't look half bad, but.... fur, seriously, this feels weird as hell." You then understand that Albert is a reptile, so any type of body hair is a new experience for him. "So...." he says, now pondering, "How exactly did this happen?"

All three of you are silent. "Well, we've been through a ton of magic lately. You think Carla may still be about?" Says Fred. "We did kind of mess up that mirror of hers." you say, "It would make sense if she's out for payback." Albert doesn't look convinced, "Carla tends to hit people where it hurts. Generally a bodybuilder like me she would turn into a tub of lard... no offence," he says, realizing that was basically the position you are in, "This doesn't seem to fit her MO. We'll have to keep an eye out for anything suspicious."

You feel worried, having been through magic and how much trouble it causes, you wonder what, or who is out to get you now...
