Game 2 Outline |
Fred suggests a new restaurant that recently opened up on the other side of town. You hesitate, then finally give in. After all, as Fred says, "With set portions, both of us should be able to control ourselves."
After a decent-sized walk (well, okay, an exhausting waddle from the parking lot, but you needed the exercise), you follow Fred into the darkened restaurant. Once you squeeze yourself into a booth opposite Fred, the waiter gives you the check and 2 plates ... and leaves without a word. "Must be a set meal price per plate", Fred muses before quickly getting up and paying the bill at the front counter. That done, you both wait for your food to be served. And wait. And wait.
Finally, as the waiter comes around again, you wave him over.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?", he asks, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he's serving two animal-morphs.
"Um", you stammer, "shouldn't we ... I mean ..."
"What he's trying to say is, where's the food?", Fred cuts in, seeing your obvious distress.
The waiter laughs. "I'm terribly sorry, sir", he apologizes, nodding to each of you in turn. "If you'll just walk through that beaded curtain over there, you'll find your meal."
To your shock and surprise (and hunger), beyond the beaded curtain is a buffet, filled to heaping hill-shapes with turkey, ham, roast beef, fried chicken, chicken-fried steak, southern-fried catfish, mashed potatoes, creamed potatoes, potato salad, baked potatoes ... and that's just the first cart! (Far back, you think you can see a forlorn salad bar ...) You and Fred look at each other. You notice that even diet-loving Fred has begun to dribble and drool, and you feel half-starved yourself (especially after that walk from the parking lot). Fred seems to be holding himself back by sheer force of will, leaving you to lead the way. What to do?
