Up: Game 4  Up: Game 4 Outline

I've won a prize? Oh...please I don't want that!

You turn and notice you are in a women's beauty salon. Everyone in here seems to have not noticed Scott's rampage, and it appears it is business as usual. You take a step further into the salon, and suddenly sirens and bells ring, confetti and ribbons fall, and a beautiful woman seemingly pops up from nowhere.

"Congratulations!" she says, "You are the one-millionth person to enter our store! You've won a special prize!"

"Er, great!" you say, "What do I get?"

"Follow me," the woman says.

You reluctantly follow her through a door behind the main salon. She leads you downstairs about two stories, where you end up at a dead end. You are confused, but the woman touches a brick on the left side of the dead end and suddenly the wall opens like a door, revealing a secret chamber under the basement. Inside is a strange machine.

"This is our special room," the woman explains. "Only our richest patrons can afford to come here. Please step inside." She points to a platform between two white cylindrical machines.

You hesitate. What's going on? First Scotzilla, then this? "Wait a minute," you say, "Could you please tell me what I've won?"

"I can't say until you step onto the platform," she says. "Let's say that it costs about seven hundred million dollars to buy this thing that you're getting?"

Seven-hundred million? Wow! All your worries are pushed from your head as you step onto the platform. You expect you're getting some special cream or something to use for beauty. If it's especially girlish, then you can give it away. You stand on the platform, awaiting your prize.

Suddenly, glass panels close in on all sides of you, trapping you in a box. You bang your fists on the glass, demanding to know what's going on.

"Fine, I'll tell you your prize," says the woman. "You are getting our special make-over. It will make you desirable and attractive in every way and by every standard. We don't go overboard, but this is the stuff of dreams for most women."

You hope she didn't mean "women" when she said "women". You hope... but this is a WOMAN's beauty salon. The woman presses a switch, and strange gas fills the box you are in...
