Up: Game 4  Up: Game 4 Outline

Vanity Faire?

The stranger is a boy of about your own age. He is hurrying along. "Don't be late for the fair!" he shouts as he passes. Then, before you can even inquire into who he is or where he's going, you find yourself at the edge of a town you've never seen.

It appears to be the day of a Medieval Faire. By now Bryan is completely back to normal, and you have almost forgotten that you have him on a leash. The two of you wander through the fair, marveling at the authentic period costumes and activities. Soon you arrive at a giant stockade.

You are suddenly overcome by an irresistible urge. You sit in the stocks and order Bryan to lock you in. He asks you if you know what you're doing. You just tell him to do what you say. Even as you speak, you don't know why you're saying that.

When you are locked in, a small crowd of people soon gathers around. "Good citizens," you address them, "I have traveled here today from a far country to beg a boon of you good people. If there is any charity in you for a stranger from far away, please would you one and all..."

You pause as you struggle with yourself. You know what you're going to say, but you don't know why. You don't want to say it, but something inside of you is compelling you, and the harder you try not to finish the sentence the more you know you must. Finally you can't fight any more, and tell the crowd of onlookers the favour you have come to beg of them...

"...TICKLE MY FEET!!!"
