Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

... and you blow yourself down.

Gritting your teeth and shifting from side to side atop your protesting legs, you and Fred bare your teeth in pained smiles and follow the parade.

By the end of the first land, you're beginning to feel like the parade's walked all over you. The shifting mass of your belly makes it hard to follow a straight line, especially when your knees keep trying to buckle under the weight of all this abuse. You're panting through your fixed grin, and you feel like you're going to drop.

Should you try to duck out of the parade? Not only will it get you some rest, but you might get a chance to look around for Raffles. But you'll have to be lucky and smart to pick the right time, or you'll wind up surrounded by squealing kids and their flash-camera-toting parents.

Alternatively, you could tell the other performers that your 'costume' is too hot and heavy, and you don't think you can make it to the end of the parade. On the one paw, this could tip off Raffles, if he's involved in the park. On the other paw, it might get you into the employee lounge, which you believe is located in the hub of Animaland, with easy access to the various 'lands'. Once there, you might be able to figure out where Raffles is hiding.

You'd better decide fast, though, or you and Fred might have to tote all that flab through six more 'lands'.
