Game 2 Outline |
"Let me see," you say to Fred, trying to sound reasonable. "You've turned into a wolf, I've turned into a weasel, and it happened, to me at least, after touching your doorknob." You look at him seriously. "I don't see we've got much choice in the matter, unless you want to be the next big animal act."
"Oh, all right," grumbles Fred. "But how do we get to the doorknob?"
"We don't," you tell him with a chittering grin. "I do!"
A few minutes and a hasty explanation later, you find yourself balancing on Fred's head as he stands under the doorknob. Funny, you think, this seemed like a lot more fun before I did it.
Carefully, you rear up on your hind legs and wrap your front legs around the doorknob. Okay, you muse, the doorknob makes me tingle a bit, but I don't seem to be changing any more. Nothing on the doorknob proper, nothing in the keyhole ... hello, what's this?
There, wrapped around the base of the doorknob, is a small, shiny ring with some sort of engraving on it. An experimental tug proves it certainly isn't part of the door, since it slides easily up and down the doorknob's shaft. This must be it!
Just as you're preparing to pry it off with your claws, you feel Fred shift beneath you. "Hurry!", he whispers. "Someone's coming!"
You look down the walk. "I don't see anyone," you answer.
"Not there, stupid, inside!"
You can hear it now, too ... footsteps coming closer to the door. What do you do?
