ClubFloyd Transcript:
New New Year's Speed(s)
by Rick Dague, Sarah Morayati, and Marius Müller

As played on ifMUD on December 28, 2008

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of three games written for the New New Year's Speed, by Rick Dague, Sarah Morayati, and Marius Müller, respectively.

These games were written based on the following premise: Hi! Last year, we had a Speed IF with New Year themed games written especially for the purpose of being played on Clubfloyd. We'd like to do that again. [...] the rules are as follows: None, but a New Year, or maybe even just a "new beginning" theme would be cool.

You can learn more about these games, including how to download them, by visiting the ifWiki.

If you'd like to skip to a particular game in the transcript, you can click on the individual title:

The Escapist
by Rick Dague

Leap Time
by Sarah Morayati

The Day I Mauled Mao!
by Marius Müller

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

DavidW arrives, full of fun, but no funk.
DavidW says, "Coffee made, sandwiches eaten."
Firion arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.
Jacqueline says (to David), "Wow. Breakfast both made AND consumed by CF time. Well done."
DavidW says, "Lunch, I suppose it was. I didn't have breakfast."
Taleslinger is still full of cookies.
Jacqueline says, "Okay, we'll start here in a second. Please move all conversation to the #ClubFloyd channel." Jacqueline asks, "I guess we'll just play 'em in alphabetical order by file name. That okay?"
DavidW says, "Fine by me."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load escapist"

Lucea says, "Maybe now the dog won't eat it"
Jacqueline says, "Good deal."
Taleslinger says, "Those scandanavian often seem...cold."
DavidW asks, "Sheep chips?"

Jacqueline asks, "Hm... do we just wait and wait until our second comes?"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "fly"
Floyd | You lift your wings and, with painstaking effort, flap into the air.
Floyd | You're horribly out of practice, though, and without any real reason to
Floyd | hang around in the sky, are forced to touch down.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "sing"
Floyd | Stars sing beautifully in movies, but Hollywood didn't take into
Floyd | account that vocal muscles atrophy just like everything else. You sound
Floyd | more like a dying yak than an angel.

Jacqueline says, "aw"
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "fly out of crater"
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to fly.
Floyd |

Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "xyzzy"
Floyd | You whisper the magic word, eliciting not even so much as a shudder
Floyd | from your wings. But then, you expected that. You're the magical thing;
Floyd | you don't get to use it yourself.

Nitku says (to Floyd), "l"
Floyd | Moon Crater
Floyd | Well, it's private, at least. They assured you of this. It's a crumbly
Floyd | gray hole dug into a gray field, yes, and the air's choked with dust.

Floyd | You can't move without kicking up a new cloud and blinding yourself for
Floyd | a few seconds, not that there'd be much to miss. But at least people
Floyd | can't see you here. Even if someone down below were to look at the sky
Floyd | when you were out of your trench, they'd merely see a shiny speck.
Floyd | Windows get them all the time.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
Nitku says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd | You can't go that way.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Nitku says (to Floyd), "up"
Floyd | You flutter out of the crater, mussying your streamers a bit on the
Floyd | dust walls.
Floyd |
Floyd | Fieldlands

Floyd | They name everything up here like they would down below. So this area,
Floyd | silent and blank in all directions, they call a field, despite the lack
Floyd | of vegetation. There's nothing around under the horizon but gray dirt,
Floyd | and flat sky, and you. The only thing breaking the monotony is
Floyd | something raised to the west, and your crater, a few steps away. Above
Floyd | you, stars stand in their places, too far away to recognize; looming in

Floyd | front of them all is the earth, almost close enough to touch. There's
Floyd | no coverage from it; anyone could see you from there, a shiny speck
Floyd | tossed into the dust like something misplaced.. Perhaps people won't
Floyd | mind. The moon is shining awfully bright tonight, they'll say, resuming
Floyd | their affairs, your light as sanction. It's the night for it.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "AH"
DavidW says, "ah"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x earth"
Floyd | You expected it to be more spherical, but it's not; more like the
Floyd | cross-section of an egg. A lot smaller than you thought, too, and less
Floyd | blue. It doesn't give you much hope for your landing, that's for sure.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x raised"

Jacqueline says, "Let's just walk over and see it."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x stars"
Floyd | The lucky ones who succeeded in their leap and earned their place in
Floyd | the sky, to shine forever for all to see. You fight back a pang of
Floyd | jealousy.
Floyd |

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "w" DavidW says, "wish on a star"
Floyd |
Floyd | Leap Pad

Floyd | The field parts here, unexpectedly, to accommodate a small platform.
Floyd | They call it a mesa, the geographical term, but there's nothing natural
Floyd | about it. The slope leading up is too carved, too precise, and the
Floyd | edges are cut too well against the night sky. It seems to repel
Floyd | everything; the dust is gathered in a moat around it, the craters leave
Floyd | a perimeter, and even the stars duck away from it. It's a clear jump,

Floyd | from there, up to the earth. Or so the others say. Your site continues
Floyd | a ways to the east.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "wish on a star"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.

Jacqueline smiles.
Firion snickers. "I was just reminded of a funny bit on Three's Company."

DavidW says, "try 'leap'"
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "enter platform"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "I was gonna do that from there, but..."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "leap"
Floyd | You arch your back, just like they taught you, lift your arms, face,
Floyd | chest, and leap, but you can't get enough height. Maybe if there was
Floyd | something to stand on.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
Lucea says, "I forgot 'platform'"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "stand on mesa"
Floyd | You flutter up onto the center of the pad. The sky looks so much...
Floyd | bigger from up here.

Floyd |
Floyd | >
Nitku says, ""Your site continues"
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "leap"
Floyd | They told you the first leap would be the hardest; you'd get used to

Floyd | it, it'd be easy. Small comfort; the more you look at the earth, the
Floyd | more it seems to scoot away, taunting you. Now or never, you guess. You
Floyd | arch your back, just like they taught you; lift your arms, face, chest;
Floyd | bend your knees, throw back your head, breath held and hands upon air;
Floyd | close your eyes, and leap.
Floyd |

Floyd | The fringe on your head flares, catches the air, and you expand,
Floyd | lurching over the back of gravity and plummeting up, past the
Floyd | atmosphere, past gray and black and down into blue, clouds, tumbling,
Floyd | every part of you doused with glitter. It must look pretty from down
Floyd | there.
Floyd |

Floyd | But they never mentioned this much tumbling, actually. They never told
Floyd | you what clouds could do. You didn't know they could bruise, or rattle
Floyd | you, or do anything, really, but hang static in the sky. It isn't
Floyd | working, you think, you're out of formation, you can't correct yourself
Floyd | or slow the descent. You don't have a star's chance in a black hole of
Floyd | surviving and there are buildings on your eyes.

Jacqueline says (to N), "I think that just means we can see a long ways in that direction."
Nitku says, "ah."
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "scream"
Floyd |
Floyd |

Floyd | You look around. Desolate. Nothing but a building and the sky you came
Floyd | from.  You landed, but there's something itching at your back. Getting
Floyd | to your feet, you realize its source. You lost a wing coming down. You
Floyd | can't fly back without it. Wishes are out of the question, too - if
Floyd | anyone sees you like this, tattered and sore, it's over. Something else
Floyd | is strange, too. You feel it under your feet, something too supple

Floyd | below the ground. The earth isn't spinning like it should, and it's
Floyd | probably your fault. You've got to get back into the sky before they
Floyd | decide to kick you out of orbit.
Floyd |
Floyd | Behind A Building
Floyd | Earth looked so much more... verdant from above. You'd forgotten that

Floyd | beneath the pearl blue and clouds, it looks more like this: square
Floyd | buildings stacked on concrete like boxes in a garage. The ground is
Floyd | cracked, as are the bricks of the building. Puddles have collected by
Floyd | the cracks, grayer than water should be. A sign by a metal door reads
Floyd | ~TRUCKS ONLY~, but it's far too late for any to be around; the door's
Floyd | closed anyway. Power lines stretch across the air, parceling off the

Floyd | stars lucky enough not to be here. In the distance, you see some
Floyd | dumpsters to the west. All in all, you'd prefer the bottom of the
Floyd | ocean.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Taleslinger says, "oops."
Jacqueline says, "I really like some of your descriptions."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x wings"
Floyd | They give every star a pair of wings - ornaments, yes, but the useful
Floyd | kind. They glisten when you flap them; from below, it looks like

Floyd | twinkling. A neat trick, that. You've lost one of yours, though, and
Floyd | the other one isn't looking so great. Twinkling is out of the question.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "The phrase 'square buildings stacked on concrete like boxes in a garage' is just great."
Lucea says, "Thanks"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x door"
Floyd | One of those industrial doors that roll up and down, made of metal
Floyd | plates.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open door"
Floyd | That's already open.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "enter door"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "enter building"
Floyd | There's no way in except the door, and it's firmly shut.
Floyd |
Floyd | Everything's too still. The trees, the buildings, even the air. How
Floyd | much time was supposed to have passed by now?
Floyd |
Floyd | >

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x puddles"
Floyd | It must have rained earlier. It'd explain all these puddles, still on
Floyd | the ground and leaving no crack empty.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "wash"
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "clean me"
Floyd | You achieve nothing by this.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "w"
Floyd | Some powdery stardust spills from your fringe as you walk.
Floyd |
Floyd | Near Dumpsters
Floyd | Nothing accentuates dingy concrete and abandoned buildings quite like
Floyd | dumpsters. There are three of them, and their odor hangs ripe in the

Floyd | air. The lot is empty of anything else but cement. A thatch of trees
Floyd | encroaches upon the ground to the west, and the lot continues to the
Floyd | east.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "look in dumpsters"
Floyd | You root around in one of the dumpsters, steeling yourself against the
Floyd | stench. After a few miserable minutes, you come up with a battered
Floyd | snowglobe. Must've been damaged merchandise.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take stardust"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.

Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "look in dumpsters"
Floyd | You root around some more in the dumpster, but find a lot of nothing.
Floyd |

Firion says (to Floyd), "x snowglobe"
Floyd | You've heard there's an art to snowglobe-making: finding or making
Floyd | beautiful baubles to nestle in a sweet winter scene. This snowglobe is
Floyd | a dented plastic ball. A bloated toy soldier squats among what looks
Floyd | suspiciously like crumpled paper. Lovely.

Floyd |
Floyd | >
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "shake it"
Floyd | You shake the snowglobe for a bit, producing a pathetic flurry of
Floyd | "snow."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "w"
Floyd |
Floyd | Edge Of Woods
Floyd | Maybe "woods" is the wrong word. Even at this hour, you can tell that
Floyd | the trees are too sparse to deserve the label. Standing firewood,

Floyd | really, gray under a dark gray sky. There's not much else around but a
Floyd | barren parking lot to the east.
Floyd |
Floyd | By a tree, a girl plays with something shiny.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Firion says (to floyd), "x girl"
Floyd | A small girl - it's hard to tell age when you measure your life by the
Floyd | century. She has stiff -- almost sculpted -- brown curls and is dressed
Floyd | in what resembles a ruffly pink lampshade.
Floyd |

Floyd | The girl looks up and sees you, fringe, paint, wing and all. "Hi," she
Floyd | says. "Are you an angel?"

Floyd | >
Firion says (to floyd), "hello"
Floyd | You've already had your greetings.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x shiny"
Floyd | It's shiny, with iridescent dust scattered across its surface. Kind of
Floyd | like your wing - wait. It is your wing. And she's got it.
Floyd |

Nitku says (to Floyd), "give sheep to girl"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask girl for wing"
Floyd | "Hey. That toy you're playing with? I really need that back. Like,
Floyd | now."
Floyd |
Floyd | "I thought angels were supposed to be nice."

Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "girl, no"
Floyd | That was a rhetorical question.
Floyd |

inky says (to Floyd), "tell girl about seraphim"

Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "curbstomp girl"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask girl about wing"
Floyd | "Please. That's mine. It fell off when I... landed here. I can't fly
Floyd | without it."
Floyd |
Floyd | "You can have it but can you grant me a wish?."

Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "ask girl about wish"
Floyd | "I can grant you a wish. You have a wish, right?"
Floyd |

Floyd | Sylvia closes her eyes. "Snow," she intones. Damn. You were hoping it
Floyd | was something easy, like a pony. Something less noticeable.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "give globe to girl"
Floyd | "Here," you say. "You can have this."
Floyd |
Floyd | Sylvia takes the snowglobe from your hands, dropping your wing. She
Floyd | peers at it, tapping the plastic a few times and flipping it over
Floyd | slowly. "I guess this is kind of like snow," she starts. "Thanks."
Floyd |

Floyd | >
inky says, "ha ha"
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take wing"
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "wear wing"
Floyd | You press the wing to your back; instantly, it affixes itself to your
Floyd | skin, with small bursts of pain as it breaks the surface. Sylvia looks
Floyd | away, peeking every few seconds -- fortunately, there never was much

Floyd | blood in the process.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Once it's finished, you test the wings. Not as sturdy as before,
Floyd | certainly not pretty, but they should last for a flight or two.
Floyd |

Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "SAVE"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "cf1"
Floyd | Enter saved game to store: Ok.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "wish for snow"

Jacqueline asks, "Leap?"
Taleslinger says, "Worth a try."
Jacqueline says, "Maybe we have to go stand on something agani."
DavidW asks, "in front of her?"
Jacqueline says, "er, again."
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Well, we *are* an angel."
DavidW says, "well, try"
Taleslinger asks, "Wasn't there something about the earth not moving?"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "leap"
Floyd | You jump, like they taught you: every part of you poised, just like
Floyd | before. Without your wing, though, you don't get far.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Lucea says, "eeeagh"
Jacqueline says, "oops"
inky says, "oopsies"
Jacqueline asks (of Lucea), "Is that a bug?"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | They could have given you more time to prepare. The fringe in your hair
Floyd | is all knotted and doesn't resemble clouds or gossamer so much as lint
Floyd | strings.
Floyd | Your wings are all wrong; against even the slightest breeze they'd
Floyd | split like tissue. Your face is clouded over with that miserable moon

Floyd | dust. It still shows, no matter how much iridescent paint you use.
Floyd | Fortunately, humans aren't star connoisseurs.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Lucea says, "yeah"
Taleslinger says, "Ouch."
Jacqueline asks, "Oh no, will we be able to finish?"
Lucea says, "wrong verb, though"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "fly"
Floyd | You crouch low, spread your arms, then your wings, and leap into the
Floyd | air. Sylvia waves at your retreating form, silently.
Floyd |
Floyd | The ascent is easy; you land on the moon's surface without a hitch.
Floyd | After that, it's another story. You heard judgment was tough. Every
Floyd | hour until the rulers arrive, you tug at your fringe and ruffle your

Floyd | wings anew, preening yourself until it doesn't look like you took a
Floyd | fall. Maybe they weren't watching that time.
Floyd |
Floyd | Whatever you did, it worked. When they arrive, it's with nothing but
Floyd | praise. You're gorgeous, they said; leap time has never been better.
Floyd | And when they cast you into the sky, wingless and sparkling, it's all

Floyd | you can think of for millennia.

Lucea says, "I forgot I had included that, which is pretty bad, since it's in the title and everything"
inky says, "you're a star, baby"
Taleslinger asks, "But what was that about the Earth not moving?"
Jacqueline says, "That was really lovely. Almost a shame that it's merely a SpeedIF."
Lucea says, "I had mentioned the physics going past kind of wonky and into "physics? what physics?""
Taleslinger says, "Such a beautifully written, cute little game."
Lucea says, "Thanks"
Jacqueline says, "Unfortunately, the scientists or chronologists or whoever it is that said we need a leap second didn't give you enough time to program your game into a full blown thing of loveliness for a general release to the IF community by New Years."
inky says, "ha ha"
Jacqueline says, "Yes, really great little game."
Jacqueline asks, "Okay, another break, or press on?"
Lucea says, "OK, back, sorry, got some tea too"
Lucea says, "(general release to the IF community? Hm. I guess I can hole up for the next few days and bugfix)"
DavidW says, "I'm ready to continue, but a break would be okay if others want one."
Jacqueline says, "Okay, I can continue, too."

Floyd |  Dear Blogreaders,
Floyd |  yesterday was even stranger than last year's New Year's Eve! Paul
Floyd | invited me again, even though the police have been bothering him about

Floyd | this disappeared German and his parents were quite angry about the golf
Floyd | cart in his pool. I hadn't seem him in some weeks, so I was quite

Floyd | Paul, his brown hair in cute little Rastas, lets go of you and looks
Floyd | you up and down. "You look great. You know, we should dance. But I need

Floyd | a little help first." You sigh. He shakes his head quite seriously.
Floyd | "No, nothing like last year - please. I have a table with champagne
Floyd | outside. Well, you heard of the Thompson's Gazelles which have escaped
Floyd | the zoo a few days ago? One of them is out there now, sipping all the
Floyd | Crystal! You need to get the foul beast away from my beverages." He
Floyd | looks down. "But please don't hurt the graceful creature." He pats you

Floyd | on the back and is gone."

Floyd | hallway
Floyd | A small hallway, brightly lit by a row of neon lights. Dark wooden
Floyd | stairs lead upwards, and a doorframe opens west into the Living Room. A
Floyd | small door under the stairs lead into a storage closet. (Referred to by

Floyd | Paul only as "The Potter Room".)
Floyd | Your steps don't make any sound on the the thick, red carpet.
Floyd |

Nitku says (to Floyd), "x sticker"
Floyd | A small, rectangular sticker, reading: "HAUL-ALL AIR MAIL. Just slap
Floyd | this sticker on anything in the Outdoors you want to have delivered,
Floyd | and we will use our perfectly legal and ethical GPS locator and grab it
Floyd | before you know it." Looks like Paul postponed sending the Christmas

Floyd | Pauls Parents are rather fond of this small pool. It's surrounded by
Floyd | some deck-chairs. The eastern and western garden walls are overgrown
Floyd | with undergrowth, so as to hide the family members going for a seamelss
Floyd | tan. This wasn't necessary for the southern wall, wich is quite high,

Floyd | because it borders on a Golf course (Pauls told you they find the
Floyd | occasional golf ball in the pool nonetheless.)
Floyd |
Floyd | A long paste table is standing here. A white table-cloth has been
Floyd | draped over it, to give it some glamour. The result, contrary to IF
Floyd | conventions, is quite good. Champagne glasses are arranged on it in

Floyd | neat rows.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the table is a glass of champagne.
Floyd |
Floyd | A Thomson's gazelle is standing here, swaying a bit, gently licking
Floyd | Champagne from the long glasses.

Floyd |
Floyd | A small flock of people is lying around in the deck-chairs, most of

Floyd | You take a step back, hit "z" a few times, and soon hear the sound of a
Floyd | helicopter approaching. It hovers over the party, blowing drinks off
Floyd | the table and leaves into the pool. It then lowers a metallic claw and

Floyd | gently grasps the gazelle, who is to drunk to be scared. She shakes her

Floyd | You free yourself from his hug.
Floyd | "Who?"
Floyd | "He is a Sri Lankan exchange student. I've met him some days ago and
Floyd | thought it would be funny to invite him. And tell him it's Halloween."
Floyd | He shrugs and smiles that cute little smile, and you find yourself
Floyd | unable to be angry with him.

Floyd | "So, he's come as Mao and walks around the living room and shouts about

Floyd | The main feature of this room is the impressive glass door, which leads

Floyd |
Floyd | People stand around, glasses or plates in hand, happily munching and

Floyd |

Floyd | On the counter next to the sink sits Paul's laptop. It's plugged

Floyd | Right now, it's playing:"It's the end of the world as we know it",

Floyd | Pauls Parents are rather fond of this small pool. It's surrounded by

Floyd | The golf cart gains top speed as you rush down the hill! (About 13

DavidW says (to Floyd), "out"

Floyd | Debris rain down around you. Luckily, everyone in the pool area was

Floyd | Paul pulls you out of the water. He has to scream, because some houses
Floyd | in the neighborhood are burning. There are fire engines in the

Floyd | distance. Then the real fireworks start.
Floyd | Paul wipes the wet hair from your forehead, his warm hand scorching on
Floyd | your cold skin, his eyes dark with worry.
Floyd |  "Some idiot flew a golf cart into the UFO. I wonder how he knew

Floyd |  You shrug. It feels good, resting on Pauls lap.

Taleslinger says, "Yeah, I figured it"
Taleslinger says, "would be more easy to find the UPC, and sorry about all the guess-the-verb stuff"
Lucea says, "No problem"
Taleslinger says, "Not that the basis for this is to write a game about gay people that isn't about them being gay. I still don't know if potraying them as sex-crazy sociopaths is any better."
Taleslinger says, "not = note"
Taleslinger shrugs.
Lucea says, "To be fair, at least half of all characters in American media are portrayed as sex-crazy sociopaths"

Lucea says, "I need to fix some bugs"

Limax says, "Heh"
Lucea says, "heh"
jwalrus asks, "this is your website with a walkthrough for every speedif game ever written and so forth, right?"
DavidW says, "yes"
Firion has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. DavidW says, "I even have a small logo now, but I haven't put it on all the pages yet."
Lucea says, "Incidentally, I wasn't going to bring this up, but there are multiple endings to mine"
DavidW says, "I want to look into some way of uploading on a regular basis via batch files, if that's possible."
Limax exclaims, "*NOW* you tell us!"
Taleslinger says, "I'll submit the .zip then."
inky says, "multiple endings, eh"
inky says, "in one you take professional voice lessons"

Lucea says, "Thank you!"
Taleslinger has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. Nitku says, "Yes, it was fun."
(from Limax) Taleslinger says, "I don't care about the other two games, only mine!"
Nitku has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
Limax has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
Lucea disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. Taleslinger says (to limax), "Heh"
DavidW has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. Jacqueline says (to Taleslinger), "Hey, thank you for coordinating the speed!"
inky has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. Limax says, "Love the speed, man..."
