Up: Game 3  Up: Game 3 Outline

Small blessing...

Leprachan's are typically considered fairies, and if their choice of wardrobe was anything to go by, you'd expect they would be found in the lush green of the forest rather then the browns and greys of the mountains. Once you've got your clothes, you set out for the forest, lumbering away from the town where people peek out after you to make sure your really gone.

Getting there takes a whiel, of course, your heavy bulk slowing you to a waddle and forcing you to stop every few feet to catch your breath. You start thinking that hope is looking slim, as the rate of your growth is getting to the point where you'll be immobile long before you manage to track down anything let alone find a cure. Even your new trousers are starting to feel a lot more snug as you journey. By the time you reach the forest, the loose fitting waistline has become skin tight, your belly fat buldging over the edge. You're forced to reajust the suspenders, using the garment to help prop up your stomach, which is starting to get in the way of your stride, making you look like a giant ice cream cone the way your love handles and stomach buldge out.

You pass into the forest, and suddenly feel strange. It take a moment for you to realize that it's not a feeling of something happening to you, but rather, something NOT happening. Even then, you can't identify it until a few minute have past, and suddenly realize that you've stopped growing. You had gotten so used to the constant feeling of increasing heaviness and tightening cloths that the sudden stop is paulpable. You wonder what just happened, but decide not to look a gift horse in the mouth. If your not growing, that gives you that much hope of getting something done before becoming even more of a blimp then you are. The only question is, where do you start looking?
