NightFloyd Transcript:
Speculative Fiction by Diane Christoforo and Thomas Mack
As played on ifMUD on Feb 21 & 28, March 7 & 14, 2013

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions (but not always, as you'll see in this transcript). NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of Speculative Fiction written by Diane Christoforo and Thomas Mack. Speculative Fiction was originally released as part of the 2011 IntroComp, where it won second place. It wnet on to be nominated for two Xyzzies: Best Individual NPC and Best Implementation. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, 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.

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 | > 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 | "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 | 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 | It's a wooden bed frame that would be big enough for one human with a

Floyd |
Floyd | It's an oval mirror with a steel frame bolted to the wall. The frame

Floyd |
Floyd | I love your robe. It's so stylish. It's purple and dark purple and
Floyd | darker purple and all swirly patterned and stuff, and it's covered in

Floyd | It's a round, wooden table. Six or seven people could fit around it.

Floyd | Big Street is the main street in the city. It's big enough for four

Floyd | cobbles instead of dirt like all the other roads. There are various

Floyd | These little country houses are hit or miss. Sometimes they have good

Floyd | going to get us any food. Nobody's here, though the door to the north

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 | Cottage
Floyd | These little country houses are hit or miss. Sometimes they have good
Floyd | food to steal; sometimes their owners want to cook and eat you. This
Floyd | particular one is a one-room cottage with a thatched roof. The
Floyd | chimney's the nicest thing here. Unfortunately for us, there's nothing
Floyd | cooking on the fireplace. No fire either, so waiting around here isn't
Floyd | going to get us any food. Nobody's here, though the door to the north
Floyd | is ajar. The cottage continues to the west.

Floyd | Ooh, I like the way you think. I leave my perch and, like a streak of
Floyd | black lightning, I strike! The fat guy is still complaining about what
Floyd | a horrid little toad of a thief you are as I pour the potion on him.
Floyd | His lips continue whining even as the top of his head turns to gold.
Floyd | Well, that was--- oh, you seem to be leaving my mind finally. Good
Floyd | riddance.

Floyd |
Floyd | Yeah, babe, it all happened just like that. After the treasurer got
Floyd | turned into a statue, the boss managed to convince the king that the
Floyd | new gold treasurer was far more valuable than the old one, and, you
Floyd | know, nobody really liked the old treasurer anyway.
Floyd |
Floyd | The boss? Well, the boss decided he should probably skip town even
Floyd | though he wasn't in immediate danger of losing his legs, arms,
Floyd | eyeballs, or liver. Eventually the king's going to think about the
Floyd | moral implications of restocking the treasury with the
Floyd | treasurer. I don't know where the boss has gone and I really don't
Floyd | want to know. But he gave me my freedom for my help, and...one other
Floyd | thing. He did one last enchantment before he left, and this one seems
Floyd | to actually work.
Floyd |
Floyd | So, the bag of Marginal Holding? Well, he made it a little less and a
Floyd | little more useful. Now it only holds eyeballs. But there's always one
Floyd | more in the bag. Infinite Eyeballs--- more than we could ever possibly
Floyd | eat.
Floyd |
Floyd | Could I interest you in a little snack, my love?

Floyd | > POUR VIAL ON YOU
Floyd |
Floyd | Absolutely not. Look, boss, I've done a lot for you today. I wandered
Floyd | all around town following someone's love notes. I burned down a barn.
Floyd | I played Pretty Pretty Princess Dress-Me-Up with some random guy in
Floyd | order to get him arrested for a crime he didn't commit. I robbed a
Floyd | bank. I had to spend a good ten minutes with the world's stupidest
Floyd | hedgehog singing at me just so you could rob a blind guy. I
Floyd | let you stick me in a cage just so you could make fake money. I had to
Floyd | learn how to play your incomprehensible stock market. And I was happy
Floyd | to do so; all things considered, you're not the worst possible master
Floyd | for a bird to have. But if you think I'm going to spend eternity as a
Floyd | golden raven statuette just so you can skip the consequences of your
Floyd | embezzlement, I should have let the executioner chop your head off
Floyd | hours ago.
Floyd |
Floyd | The treasures holds up the key again. "Alakazoo!" he incants. Nothing
Floyd | happens.

Floyd | "It's 'Alakazar'," says the king.

Floyd |
Floyd | I never liked those guys anyway. I fly out of my hiding space and
Floyd | splash both of the guards. They look briefly stunned but transform
Floyd | before they can do anything to me in retaliation. They don't release
Floyd | their grip on your body, though, so you're now squished between two
Floyd | beefy gold statues. That looks uncomfortable.
Floyd |
Floyd | The treasurer starts screaming bloody murder about how you're a bloody
Floyd | murderer, and the king looks like he's trying to figure out where the
Floyd | guards went. Now the--- oh, thank the Meat Gods, are you finally

Floyd |
Floyd | No, babe, I swear it's all true. We goldificated both of the guards,
Floyd | but the boss was trapped between them. The treasurer wouldn't stop
Floyd | screaming about the guards. The boss wouldn't stop screaming about how
Floyd | he'd gotten the treasure back, and what more did they want? I thought
Floyd | the treasurer was going to strangle the chief himself, but the king
Floyd | said he had to get more guards, and they both left. The boss mostly
Floyd | managed to work his way free, but one of his fingers ended up wedged
Floyd | between the two statues. It was crazy. We could hear the treasurer
Floyd | coming back with a whole pile of guards, and the boss kept pulling at
Floyd | his hand, and...
Floyd |
Floyd | Well, of course you see where this is going. I heroically saved the
Floyd | day once again, and the boss (or, well, most of him) fled to where had
Floyd | some Anywhere-But-Here Dust stashed. I'm sure he's fine wherever he
Floyd | is.
