Up: Game 3  Up: Game 3 Outline

What do you know? A product that works!

Looking through the pills, you find a few brands that may prove to work, and calculate how much a dragon would use for the right dosage. When you're finally done, you find that you and Drake will have to make a few more raids on the city, or risk falling short after a few days.

Drake, on the other hand, revels in his new found treasures, taking them apart and trying to put them back together again, trying to figure out exactly how they work. The idea of going back to your world a few more times excites him even more. "Maybe I should go alone," he says. "You can show me what you want and I can get it." You at first reject this idea, but Drake convinces you with the fact that if he's seen, he can simply fly away, while if you're seen, you'd bounce.

Over the next three weeks, you stay at the castle and take your pills, while Drake wreaks unknown havoc on your world, each time bringing back more of your pills, as well as miscellaneous objects to play with. Your stomach, while slower to lose weight than to gain, is much smaller. If you ever get back to normal, you'll never scoff at those miracle diet commercials again. Drake is a little upset about this, claiming that a soft and cuddly you is much more interesting than a mirror image. This would disturb you if it weren't for Drake's curiousity about anything that is different from his version of normal.

Each day, you make a new attempt at flight, but are each time let down until you start approaching your original weight. It seems a Dragon's aerodynamics are affected drastically by their weight, and they're unable to carry more than their own body weight for long periods, a fact proved when you take a short flight, then crash land from over-exertion.

Finally, your weight and appearance drop back to those of Drake, and you get to enjoy a long and crash-free flight. Afterward, you and Drake have a victory dinner to celebrate both your success in losing weight, and Drake's luck on having found a wine store, in which he has confiscated many things for his collection. You find wine to be especially appealing to dragons, a natural reaction that seems to ouccur at its mere mention. The only thing you find more appealing, is the thought of gold. Dragons, it seems, have a streak of instinctual avarice.

As you finish off your 17th bucket of wine, you start to feel very hazy and sleepy, and before you can stop yourself, you fall to the floor in unconsciousness...
