Game 2 Outline |
You reach the food markets, very out of breath, to find Fred snacking on something. He's gotten quite a bit fatter since you last saw him. Albert blushes under your stare;
"I didn't leave him THAT much. Fred, what HAPPENED?"
Fred bounces up when he sees you, setting up an interesting wave motion along his sides. "Hey!" he shouts, "Where've you ... ?" He trails off, noticing your ponderous girth. His mouth works, and eventually splutters "What happened to you?"
"The same thing that's happened to you!" you snap testily. Fred sulks at this abuse, but quickly forgets it in his eagerness to tell you something.
"I saw Carla!" he crows.
"What!!"
He nods smugly. "Yup! But she saw me, too."
"What did she do?"
"She laughed at me!" Fred's fat face shows fury and embarrasment. "She laughed, pointed and then ran off!"
"She ran away? I thought she said to find her."
"Well," Fred's embarrasment becomes more acute, "She more kinda strolled away, but I had trouble keeping up."
"You followed her through this crowd? That's great!" Albert beams at Fred, who preens himself.
"Hey, it's easy with a nose like mine!" He wrinkles it to illustrate his point. "She's wearing the same perfume as last time. Kinda smells like limes."
"So which way?"
Fred looks uncomfortable yet again. "Umm, that way." He indicates a side road.
There is a long silence. Albert explodes "That's it?"
"Hey! I tried to follow her, then I got really tired." He whimpers, and his eyes turn wistful, "And I could smell all the food in the stalls. Would you buy some? They all gave me samples and I said my friends'd be back to buy some stuff soon. Please?" He looks up at you pitifully, and his tail thumps the floor.
"Oh, Fred," You and Albert groan in unison. What can you do now?
