Game 2 Outline |
Finally, you decide to broach the subject gently. "So", you begin, "um, what's it like being a cabbie?"
"Not bad", he responds, thankfully never taking his eyes off the road. "Kinda boring most nights. Not that I'm complaining", he adds, as he turns a corner. "Too much excitement in this line o' work can be hazardous to your health."
"Yeah, I'd guess so", you answer. "So it's an okay line of work?"

Reluctantly, you bid Fred goodbye and slowly waddle your way to the entry gate.
Once you stumble, panting, to a nearby bench, you finally get a look at the gateway to Animaland. To the right are the turnstiles used by the usual patrons of Animaland. They look darned narrow for your immensity to pass through, and you're afraid you might get stuck.
The only other option is the handicapped gate. Since Animaland is "people-friendly", they do have a larger gate, normally used by wheelchair-bound patrons. You notice, however, that there's a security camera over that entrance ... could it reveal your presence to Raffles?
It's a tough choice, but you finally decide to take ...
