Up: Game 3  Up: Game 3 Outline

Loser

After the flash ends, you wake up to see you are back in the laundry room, on your dog bed. You look up and see Vakoligan. He's looking down at you, until he finally says

"That was so simple. And yet you still managed to screw it up. As your punishment you will spend exactly 365 more days as a dog."

You look up at him. You don't know how to react, mostly because you can't talk. He still has the amulet-looking object on his belt. You feel hopeless, after these 3 days you have learned how horrible it can be to live as a dog, you want out. You think to yourself, you need that amulet if you ever want to see your human body again. Vakoligan has the amulet 3 feet above you, you don't know how you could possibly reach it. He looks down at you, and says, "Oh you want my amulet? Sorry that's not for pets. Only people can use it."Without thinking, you jump as high as you can at the amulet, but you hardly make it. He doesn't move, he just laughs and says "How pathetic. You went to the academy for years, what a waste. You can't even handle a dog's responsibilites, how can you expect me to trust you as a human?" He takes the amulet off his belt and holds it, and says "You wouldn't know how to use this thing anyway." And drops the amulet onto the hard laundry room floor. You walk over to it and try interacting with it. You try licking it, barking at it, walking on it, and anything else you can think of, but nothing happens. Vakoligan looks at you on the floor, says "Come on Spot. You better get your sleep tonight." You look up at him and try to growl, all that comes out of your mouth is a cute bark. Vakoligan, still chuckling, says "At least you're a cute dog. You'll find that useful in the next year of your life. Oh and by the way, there's a reason I picked this family to adopt you."

You think to yourself what that means, until you hear the laundry room door open. You look behind you to see Maria standing there, Vakoligan is gone. Maria looks down at you and says "Sorry Spot,-" Her sentence is cut off and you hear Maria gulp. You quickly look to see Vakoligan behind her, holding her neck. She tries to release his hand from her neck, to no avail. He continues to choke her and he says "Ok Maria, other side of the room!"Maria cooperates and slowly walks to the door to the garage, on the other side of the room, with Vakoligan's hand still on her neck. Vakoligan slams the door to the living room, and says "Good. Now Spot, if you make any noise during this I'll double your timer." Maria is now pinned to the wall by Vakoligan, until he releases his hand from her neck. Maria takes the opportunity to throw a punch towards him, but he just grabs her fist and continues to pin her against the wall.

"Maria, this will be simple. Just answer my questions and you will survive. If you don't you will suffer consequences you didn't even know were real." Maria nods her head and catches her breath.

"First question: Have you ever heard stories of your ancestors sealing a evil sorceror in a small box for thousands of years?"

"Yes! But my mom said those were just folk tales. We don't believe them!"

"Second question: What is your last name?"

"My last name? My last name is Baldwin. Why are you asking these questions anyway?"

"Now the final question, and the most important one. I think your dog Spot will enjoy the answer to this one. What's your mother's first name?"

"Jennifer. My mother's name is Jennifer."

And this is the moment you realize what Vakoligan meant when he said he "chose" this family. He must've known your hate for Jennifer. You see Vakoligan take something out of his pocket and stick it in Maria's neck. And Maria falls to the ground, unconscience. You look up at Vakoligan, as he says "Enjoy your new life. One more thing, you can keep the amulet. Dogs can't use it anyway. When Maria wakes up she won't remember any of this. She'll be nothing but your owner who takes care of you, because you are her pet, and not a human." You can't take it anymore at that, you jump as high as you can to try to reach Vakoligan. You almost reach him when he disapears, leaving you alone as a puppy for a whole year.
