Up: Game 4  Up: Game 4 Outline

Tickled pinker and pinker

The tickling is so overwhelming that in no time at all you're rolling around on the floor right next to the Chamberlain, unable to do anything but laugh helplessly as you writhe about.

The Pyrots are delighted with their situation. "We followed this lad's adventures in our crystal ball," they boast to Prince Shane, "and when 'e came here, we knew ye'd be just the man for us. Why tickle people into 'ysteria one at a time when we can 'ave a 'ole room laughin' like 'yenas?"

You try to beg them to stop but can't even finish the word, "P, p, pl, PLEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!" But then, as you and the Chamberlain roll around together shrieking with laughter and kicking your feet in the air, you feel the Chamberlain signing into your palm. What incredible luck that you learned sign language! Though you're both laughing too hard to speak, you sign to each other that if you can roll towards the prince, maybe you can bowl over the Pyrots and free yourselves. But you have to be subtle about it, and pretend you're just thrashing about helplessly as you near the target.

But as you inch closer to Prince Shane and the enthusastic foot-tickling Pyrots, you find it harder and harder to move. You also notice that the Chamberlain, who signs that you're getting very pink indeed, is also turning a colour that can only be described as... well, rosy. You could almost swear the Chamberlain is actually turning into a rose. And then you notice that you've become a rose yourself!
