Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

The Quick... and the Stupid

Recognizing that speed is of the essence if you don't want to let the mugger escape, you run after the criminal, your form altering with each footfall. A spotted pelt sprouts to cover much of your body; you acquire an inhumanly slim and wiry build; you notice, and appreciate, the heightened traction granted by your new foot-claws; in short, you become an anthropomorphic cheetah

The criminal never has a chance, not against this form's jazzed-up speed and reaction time. He does hear you approach, his head turning oh-so-slowly to look at his pursuer, but to no avail; you remove the purse from his grasp before his head stops moving.

On a whim, you decide to give your hand-claws a little exercise. Hmmm... carve your initials into his forehead? Cut his clothing to ribbons, leaving him naked in the night? Something else entirely?

So many enticing possibilities... what to do? What will you do?
