Game 4 Outline |
Down the main avenue, the parade seem to be getting ready to start. The sidewalks are full of toons, human and otherwise, running around having fun.
Like the boy and his dad, everyone here seems to be toting a basket of candy or wielding a tickle toy. The latter are mostly kids, though a few adults can be seen with feathers and claws.
You spot the booth you were told about. A big blue genie sits inside it, popping around and helping several customers. He sees you coming an appears behind you with a puff of smoke.
"Now here's a man who needs to get into the spirit of the celebration," he says, pushing you forward the last 3 feet, "and have I got a deal for you!" Another pop and he's standing in front of you, dressed like a snake-oil salesman. "One day only, while supplies last, use only as directed, offer not valid in some parts of Canada and northern New Jersey, the one and only Festival of Laughter free ceremonial accoutrement!" Spouting 8 hands, he gestures to everthing in the booth at once, small fireworks launching behind his back.
"Um...'Kay"
"Oh," he says, deflated by your lack of enthusiasm, "New guy."
"No matter," he rallies, taking the form of a schoolteacher, "Allow me to educate."
"There are no spectators in this parade. Everyone's either a tickler or a target." He zips to the left side of the booth, "Ticklers get a tool, all your standard instruments of devious tickly destruction." He zips to the right "Ticklees get a candy dispenser. You stick your hands in these slots and hold it over your head. When someone tickles you enough, you flip this switch with you finger and a sweet jumps out. It's like being a pez dispenser, but easier on the neck."
"So what's it gonna be, fat boy?"
