Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/0 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Babe, I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to cancel dinner. Floyd | Yeah, I've got to stop the boss from being executed. Floyd | Floyd | Speculative Fiction Floyd | Beginner's Lessons from "The Big Book of Financial Crimes" Floyd | Copyright (c) 2011--2012 by Diane Christoforo and Thomas Mack Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 120630 / Inform v6.31 Library 6/11 Floyd | First-time players should type ABOUT. Floyd | Floyd | Not a Dungeon Floyd | Floyd | No! My shiniest of shiny objects! Don't fly aw--- Come back! I Floyd | love you! Floyd | Floyd | Well, now that my girlfriend's mad at me, where were we? Ah, right. Floyd | Floyd | It's kind of boring here. I hear the king hasn't put anybody in the Floyd | dungeon in over a year. Must make you feel special. It's drafty, being Floyd | up in the tower, and the stones in the wall have chips and various--- Floyd | do you really care? They're old. The door looks pretty sturdy. There's Floyd | some light coming into the room from a window about, uh, twice your Floyd | height up. Can we leave? Floyd | Floyd | I can see a tapestry, a bed, a vase, a mirror, and an annoying git in Floyd | a dress here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Wow. I6." | |

Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | > X ANNOYING GIT Floyd | Floyd | You're a mediocre wizard. No, no, boss, don't look sad! Wait for me to Floyd | finish! You're a great inventor! See, there was a compliment coming. Floyd | You always have the best ideas. Remember Primo Eyeballs-in-a-Can? That Floyd | was my personal favorite, for obvious reasons. But your ideas don't Floyd | always, er, work right. That's why you took the wizarding job: 'cause Floyd | it gets you money to work on your inventions until we hit it big. Floyd | Which we will, as soon as we replace all that missing money and keep Floyd | you from getting killed and, um, okay, this is probably not cheering Floyd | you up as much as I'd hoped. Floyd | Floyd | Right now your body is in the corner, unconscious. You're wearing your Floyd | completely awesome purple robe, but your hat got lost in the arrest Floyd | fiasco. The stupid fat guy searched you and took all your stuff, but Floyd | maybe there's something he missed. I don't know. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh, this does sound vaguely familiar." | |
| phoenix asks, "wait. Our body is in the corner unconscious?" | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You're a mediocre wizard. No, no, boss, don't look sad! Wait for me to Floyd | finish! You're a great inventor!

Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/3 Floyd | Floyd | > X YOU Floyd | Floyd | I'm W.D., your familiar, and I'm awesome. Check out these feathers! Floyd | Floyd | > | phoenix says, "oh hmm. The narrator is actually in this game" | |
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/4 Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | In my bag of holding, I have: Floyd | the mind of a mediocre wizard Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to DW), "It probably does sound familiar, but of course this time it's the full version." | |
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x mind" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/5 Floyd | Floyd | > X MIND Floyd | Floyd | It's...well...it's hard to describe what it's like to have someone Floyd | else in your head. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bag" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/6 Floyd | Floyd | > X BAG Floyd | Floyd | You're the one who made it, remember? This is a Bag of Somewhat Floyd | Holding. Much like yourself, it has marginal capacity. It lets me hold Floyd | about as many things as you could, which is useful what with my not Floyd | having hands. Unfortunately, most humans do have hands, and so we only Floyd | managed to sell a few. It's too bad, really; the Bag is by far the Floyd | most successful thing you've ever designed. It should have made us Floyd | millionaires. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "search git" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/7 Floyd | Floyd | > SEARCH GIT Floyd | Floyd | Hey, hey, there's a magic wand in one of the pockets! Man, the fat guy Floyd | didn't even think it was worth taking? That's just sad. Floyd | Floyd | > | phoenix says, "ok I'm pretty confused as to what point of view we're operating from" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take wand" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/8 Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE WAND Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x wand" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/9 Floyd | Floyd | > X WAND Floyd | Floyd | This is the Aetheric Coin Generator Mark III! It turns air into faery Floyd | coins. The Mark I only lasted through seven thousand uses or so, and Floyd | Mark II backfired and turned coins into air. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "wave wand" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/10 Floyd | Floyd | > WAVE WAND Floyd | Floyd | Poof! A glittering coin materializes in the air in front of Floyd | me and drops to the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | zarf says, "heh heh 'Much like yourself, it has marginal capacity.'" | |
| DavidW says, "We're a bird. A raven, I think." | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x vase" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/11 Floyd | Floyd | > X VASE Floyd | Floyd | It's a delicate glass vase with a narrow neck, although it widens at Floyd | the bottom. It's the kind of vase that holds a few flowers instead of Floyd | a whole bouquet. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "search vase" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/12 Floyd | Floyd | > SEARCH VASE Floyd | Floyd | The vase is empty. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take coin" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/13 Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE COIN Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "get all" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/14 Floyd | Floyd | > GET ALL Floyd | Floyd | tapestry: That's fixed in place. Floyd | bed: That's fixed in place. Floyd | vase: Taken. Floyd | mirror: That's fixed in place. Floyd | annoying git in a dress: You're way too bulky and heavy for me to lift Floyd | with my little talons. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tapestry" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/15 Floyd | Floyd | > X TAPESTRY Floyd | Floyd | It's a garish sight. I guess the artist might have been trying to do Floyd | something in the Colorist style. (Purple and green dyes became cheap Floyd | around the turn of the century, and there was a rainbow explosion in Floyd | the art world for about a decade.) I don't know, though--- these Floyd | colors don't really go together. Colorism usually involves more Floyd | realistic pairings, and I don't think humans are supposed to be that Floyd | shade of orange. I think the blobby thing is meant to be a unicorn, Floyd | but that's speculation. Floyd | Floyd | The tapestry was probably made by the late queen. I've heard stories Floyd | about her prolific and unusual talent. I'm sure the old guy couldn't Floyd | bear to throw it out, and nobody else could bear to look at it. Floyd | There's a wobbly inscription woven into the corner. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Ellison goes back to Squeamhurst.. | ||
| Ellison has disconnected. | ||
| Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "read inscription" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/16 Floyd | Floyd | > READ INSCRIPTION Floyd | Floyd | "To my beloved on our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. May our love Floyd | always be as eternal as the flowing fountain." Floyd | Floyd | That's a fountain? I guess this was made by the queen. Aw, Floyd | that's so sad. I mean, she had no taste, but they say the old guy Floyd | really loved her and went mad with grief after she died. I guess that Floyd | was good for us, with you getting the job here and him never caring Floyd | what you did. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "look behind tapestry" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/17 Floyd | Floyd | > LOOK BEHIND TAPESTRY Floyd | Floyd | I don't see anything interesting or valuable. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bed" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/18 Floyd | Floyd | > X BED Floyd | Floyd | It's a wooden bed frame that would be big enough for one human with a Floyd | mattress or pillows, but there aren't any around. It doesn't look Floyd | particularly comfortable, and the wood's splintering. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "look under bed" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/19 Floyd | Floyd | > LOOK UNDER BED Floyd | Floyd | Nothing but a bit of dust. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x mirror" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/20 Floyd | Floyd | > X MIRROR Floyd | Floyd | It's an oval mirror with a steel frame bolted to the wall. The frame Floyd | has little diamond-shaped cutouts in it. The mirror itself is about as Floyd | big as I am. It's got a big dent in it, but it still works as a Floyd | reflective surface. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "look in mirror" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/21 Floyd | Floyd | > LOOK IN MIRROR Floyd | Floyd | Hey, it's me! I'm W.D., your familiar, and I'm awesome. Check out Floyd | these feathers! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x dent" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/21 Floyd | Floyd | > X DENT Floyd | Floyd | I can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x cutouts" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/21 Floyd | Floyd | > X CUTOUTS Floyd | Floyd | I can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x door" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/22 Floyd | Floyd | > X DOOR Floyd | Floyd | It's a big wooden door, wide enough for two humans to walk through it Floyd | at once. Based on all the noise when they threw us in here, it's Floyd | locked from the outside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "flap wings" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/22 Floyd | Floyd | > FLAP WINGS Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize, boss. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x window" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/23 Floyd | Floyd | > X WINDOW Floyd | Floyd | The "window" is just a space in the stones. It's smaller than a human Floyd | but bigger than a raven, if you catch my drift. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd ] Not a Dungeon 0/24 Floyd | Floyd | > OUT Floyd | Floyd | I can't, since the door is in the way. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "go through window" | ||
Floyd ] Castle Gate 0/25 Floyd | Floyd | > GO THROUGH WINDOW Floyd | Floyd | Whooooosh! I'm flying out the window to sweet, delicious Floyd | freedom! And to sweet, delicious rotting meat, with any luck. Floyd | Floyd | Castle Gate Floyd | The gate's closed, which is a pity since we could probably steal a lot Floyd | of nice stuff if we could get into the throne room or the king's Floyd | bedroom. But the castle's sealed up while the treasurer tries to Floyd | figure out where the king's wandered off to, and I'm not going to Floyd | attempt to peck my way through the giant wooden doors. There's a Floyd | window above me leading to the room your body is in. There's farmland Floyd | to the west, and Big Street is north. Floyd | Floyd | My hanging-out tree is here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x tree" | ||
Floyd ] Castle Gate 0/26 Floyd | Floyd | > X TREE Floyd | Floyd | This is a maple. It has some really nice branches higher up. It's got Floyd | a good view and is relatively quiet, or it was until those stupid kids Floyd | started climbing it all the time. When I settle down, my girlfriend Floyd | and I are probably going to need something bigger--- maybe something Floyd | where we can look out over Sandie's Hot Meats. But for now, it's where Floyd | I tend to perch when I'm not doing anything for you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "perch on tree" | ||
Floyd ] Castle Gate 0/26 Floyd | Floyd | > PERCH ON TREE Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize, boss. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd ] Farmland 0/27 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Farmland Floyd | I've stopped in front of a cottage to the south, which is the only Floyd | interesting thing for miles. Fields of corn barely taller than I am Floyd | surround me and make for a really dull view. Civilization is back to Floyd | the northwest, and the castle is east of here. Floyd | Floyd | There's a red barn off to the west. Floyd | Floyd | I can also see a hedgehog here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "yay hedgehogs" | |
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x hedgehog" | ||
Floyd ] Farmland 0/28 Floyd | Floyd | > X HEDGEHOG Floyd | Floyd | Hedgehogs are, sadly, inedible, so there's not much to say about them. Floyd | This one is frolicking, which is very undignified. In fact, I Floyd | think it's singing. Floyd | Floyd | The hedgehog starts to sing: Floyd | Floyd | Doop de dooooooo, Floyd | It's a round life for meeeeee! Floyd | We're roly and poly Floyd | And hedgyhogoly, Floyd | A life in the hedge is for meeeeee! Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh right - him." | |
| Jacqueline says, "I remember him." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I think." | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "ask hedgehog about hedge" | ||
Floyd ] Farmland 0/29 Floyd | Floyd | > ASK HEDGEHOG ABOUT HEDGE Floyd | Floyd | "Hey, hedgehog, I---" Floyd | Floyd | "Hi! Got any food? Got any food? Iiiiiiiiii'm pointy!" Floyd | Floyd | I think I'm done here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Ellison goes back to Squeamhurst.. | ||

| Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x barn" | ||
Floyd ] Barn 0/30 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Barn Floyd | Yep, big red barn. It's got a new paint job, too. It looks like it's Floyd | in good condition, actually. I don't see any cobwebs in the corners or Floyd | birds' nests, so either it's been freshly-built or they really cleaned Floyd | the place out recently. Even the hay in the stalls is untrampled. The Floyd | exit back to the fields is to the east. Floyd | Floyd | I can see a pile of hay and some stalls here. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd ] Barn 0/30 Floyd | Floyd | > X BARN Floyd | Floyd | I can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "search hay" | ||
Floyd ] Barn 0/31 Floyd | Floyd | > SEARCH HAY Floyd | Floyd | There's nothing on the pile of hay. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "get hay" | ||
Floyd ] Barn 0/32 Floyd | Floyd | > GET HAY Floyd | Floyd | Until we figure out how to spin straw into gold, I'd just as soon Floyd | leave it here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "eat hay" | ||
Floyd ] Barn 0/33 Floyd | Floyd | > EAT HAY Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the pile of hay) Floyd | Until we figure out how to spin straw into gold, I'd just as soon Floyd | leave it here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x stalls" | ||
Floyd ] Barn 0/34 Floyd | Floyd | > X STALLS Floyd | Floyd | This is a large barn, with space for ten or so horses and many cows. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "(straw isn't hay, silly bird)" | |
| phoenix says, "any ideas? that's the 3rd location with nothing obvious to do" | ||
| DavidW says, "tons" | ||
| phoenix says, "or we could just keep looking around" | ||
| DavidW says, "Obviously we're supposed to spin the hay into gold." | ||
| phoenix says, "yeah... But can't we magic up coins with the wand anyway" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x stalls" | ||
Floyd ] Barn 0/35 Floyd | Floyd | > X STALLS Floyd | Floyd | This is a large barn, with space for ten or so horses and many cows. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| jenrexrode says, "rumplestiltskin" | ||
| jenrexrode oops | DavidW says, "uh, Those coins are fake, and won't likely work on everyone." | |
| jenrexrode says, "maybe spin them into straw" | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Farmland 0/36 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Farmland Floyd | Floyd | There's a red barn off to the west. Floyd | Floyd | I can also see a hedgehog here. Floyd | Floyd | The hedgehog starts to sing: Floyd | Floyd | Doop de dooooooo, Floyd | It's a round life for meeeeee! Floyd | We're roly and poly Floyd | And hedgyhogoly, Floyd | A life in the hedge is for meeeeee! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "verbose" | ||
Floyd ] Farmland 0/36 Floyd | Floyd | > VERBOSE Floyd | Floyd | [Speculative Fiction is now in its normal "verbose" mode, which always Floyd | gives long descriptions of locations (even if you've been there Floyd | before).] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "nw" | ||
Floyd ] Mindo Street 0/37 Floyd | Floyd | > NW Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Mindo Street Floyd | This is Mindo Street. I think Mindo was the chancellor a long time ago Floyd | or something. There's a statue of some ugly human here. The guard Floyd | tower is north of here, a big, oppressive stone thing. I always feel Floyd | like I'm about to fly into it even when I'm nowhere near it. Floyd | Floyd | There's fields or farms or something southwest of here, which is less Floyd | likely to contain snacks but also less likely to smell like people. Floyd | Big Street's back east, and the wharf is to the west. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "It's a basic puzzle trope to show the way to something and then bar the way." | |
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x statue" | ||
Floyd ] Mindo Street 0/38 Floyd | Floyd | > X STATUE Floyd | Floyd | It's a tall, skinny old man. He's wearing a suit that's definitely my Floyd | style; it's got at least twenty buttons, and at least ten of them are Floyd | superfluous. It's a suit that says, "I would be in at least five Floyd | different colors if I weren't made of stone." I already hate this guy Floyd | less than I hate most humans. The stone itself is polished red Floyd | granite, which implies to me that the statue is a few hundred years Floyd | old; granite fell out of favor after the Neo-Blockade movement. Floyd | Floyd | Oh, and there's also a plaque beneath the statue. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x plaque" | ||
Floyd ] Mindo Street 0/39 Floyd | Floyd | > X PLAQUE Floyd | Floyd | According to the plaque, the statue depicts Wingworm Mindo, Chancellor Floyd | of the Kingdom from blah blah blah to blah blah. Founded the livestock Floyd | markets yadda yadda, thus bringing Commerce to the city. He was Floyd | apparently named in an ancient tradition in which children weren't Floyd | given names until they survived their first disease. He had two Floyd | sisters named Blue Fever and...Syphilis? What? Is this a joke? Oh, I Floyd | guess it was; that last bit was in crayon. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Going too fast for me." | |
| phoenix says, "Ok" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "heehee" | ||
| DavidW says, "goodness" | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd ] Wharf 0/40 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Wharf Floyd | This is where all the big ships coming in from Pancake Bay (pancakes Floyd | are round) dock and unload goods. We primarily export fish and Floyd | financial instruments. The rest of the Gordanian kingdoms send us Floyd | textiles, livestock, and money. I can see several boats out on the Floyd | bay, but there aren't any docked now. Mindo Street is back to the Floyd | east. Floyd | Floyd | There's a scarecrow on a stool here, wearing a sign around its neck. Floyd | Next to it is a barrel with a suspicious chalk circle around it. Floyd | Floyd | Someone has left a fishing rod here. Floyd | Floyd | I can also see a chalk circle (which contains a barrel) here. Floyd | Floyd | > | phoenix says, "that looks promising" | |
| phoenix says, "I bet that suspicious chalk circle killed the chancellor" | ||
| jenrexrode asks, "body?" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x circle" | ||
Floyd ] Wharf 0/41 Floyd | Floyd | > X CIRCLE Floyd | Floyd | There's a chalk circle drawn on the dock around the fish barrel. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "The Chancellor's been dead a long time, hasn't he?" | |
| DavidW says, "I'm gonna guess the circle is a magical ward." | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "x scarecrow" | ||
Floyd ] Wharf 0/42 Floyd | Floyd | > X SCARECROW Floyd | Floyd | The scarecrow is a human-shaped and roughly human-sized figure made of Floyd | cloth. It has a rough, cartoonish face painted on it, and a sign hangs Floyd | around its neck. It's wearing some overalls, and it's not not wearing Floyd | a hat. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Wharf 0/45 Floyd | Floyd | > X IT Floyd | Floyd | Hey, it's your un-hat! You created it by accident when you were trying Floyd | to make your Infinite Closet. It's a hole in space shaped like a hat. Floyd | I still remember the slogan, "The Un-Hat: It's what the unfashionable Floyd | people aren't wearing!" I really thought that one was going to catch Floyd | on. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| phoenix says (to Floyd), "wear hat" | ||
Floyd ] Wharf 0/46 Floyd | Floyd | > WEAR HAT Floyd | Floyd | Hey! No clothes on the bird! I'm not one of those little yappy dogs. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "So... is it a portable hole, then?" | |

| phoenix says (to Floyd), "get overalls" | ||
Floyd ] Wharf 0/51 Floyd | Floyd | > GET OVERALLS Floyd | Floyd | I don't have the dexterity to remove the overalls from the scarecrow. Floyd | Hey, boss, have you humans contemplated nudity? It's a lot simpler. Floyd | Actually, now that I consider the image, don't do that. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I do like the 'I'm not one of those little yappy dogs' line. I saw a woman yesterday with some sort of dog that was close clipped except for a flamboyant tail and eyebrows, which she had died hot pink. People do odd things to tiny dogs." | |

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x barrel" | ||
Floyd ] Wharf 0/54 Floyd | Floyd | > X BARREL Floyd | Floyd | This is an old wooden barrel. It smells slightly rotten, but the Floyd | rot-smell is drowned out by the delicious smell of fish within. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Wharf 0/55 Floyd | Floyd | > X ROD Floyd | Floyd | Hey, you made this! It's your Fishing-Rod-With-Self-Baiting-Hook! Floyd | Somebody is using something you made! Or, well, maybe they were at Floyd | some point; they've apparently abandoned it. It still counts as a Floyd | sale, though. There's no line or hook on the fishing rod; it looks a Floyd | lot like a tree branch. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
