Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

That's one way to shorten a trip.

Glancing around, you feel sure that there wasn't anything there a second ago... but sure enough, it seems that, out of nowhere, a drink stand has materialized. 'Well, thats convenient', you think to yourself. You waddle up to the stand, seating yourself on two of the high stools. You try to reach for your wallet, but before you have a chance to begin wrestling it out of the death grip of your pocket, the man at the stand intercedes. "It's on the house," he says, "Can't have our customers passing out in this heat." You thank him and choose one of the chilled fruit juices, which he serves up quickly.

You sip the juice for a while, but you still feel boiled, so you forget the straw and begin gulping it down, the chilled sensation that runs through your body giving you partial relief, despite the brain freeze. "Another?" says the man, offering a refill. You thank him and once again down the glass. This keeps up for a while. On your 32nd refill, you feel very cool indeed, but then you suddenly feel something else.

Nature calling. Quickly, you thank the man and jump off the stools. Or try to, anyway; as you 'jump', your weight simply plops you to the ground, and you hear and feel your stomach audiably sloosh. 'Maybe I just had one too many drinks," you think to yourself, but with your bodily functions making heavy demands, you find yourself running, yes running, the rest of the way to the aquarium, leaving a huge trail of craters in your wake. You charge through the doors, almost knocking one of the guards for a loop from the speed of your entry, and quickly dash to the men's restroom. A few blissfully relieving moments later, you find yourself standing in the lobby of the aquarium.
