		***** THE NEXT WEEK *
Jacqueline disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.		DavidW asks (of Jacqueline), "aw, you will n'est pas be here?"
		Jacqueline says, "I will be with the bears."
		Jacqueline says, "I'm going on a foraging trip."

		DavidW says, "I thought you left all the bears in Alaska."
		Jacqueline says, "Just the grizzlies."
		Jacqueline says, "Lots of black bears here, allegedly, though I've yet to see one."
		Jacqueline says, "Also, cougars."
		nm says, "the cougars and the bears don't go to the same bars, though"
		DavidW asks, "eep. Both of those are dangerous, aren't they?"
		Zach says, "Seattle is a dangerous place"
		Jacqueline says (to Zach), "No, not those sorts of bears."
		Jacqueline says (to DW), "Well, they are if you do the wrong things around them."
		DavidW says, "Things are dangerous. Places are 'interesting'."

		katie-paquette says (to maga), "I never know if it is 11:00 A.M. or 11:30 A.M. and what in the heck are we playing today? Didn't get to look at Twitter. Came straight here after I got dressed and went to the bathroomm."

Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| The people have always gathered on moonless nights to hear the Floyd \| telling, since the time of your ancestors' ancestors. The heat of the Floyd \| fire and the glow in the storyteller's eyes make the past present, and Floyd \| the path to the future clear. Tonight the stars are bright, but the Floyd \| minds of your people are troubled. May the words of the telling guide Floyd \| your way. Floyd \| Floyd \| ----------- Floyd \| Floyd \| The walls of your tent glow yellow in the lamplight, your simple Floyd \| possessions casting flickering shadows on the wall. A straw bed; some Floyd \| skins of water, oil, and wine; a small, guttering lamp--it is simple, Floyd \| but it is enough. Floyd \| Floyd \| The symbol of your occupation hangs from the central support of the Floyd \| tent. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Zach says (to Floyd), "x symbol"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > X SYMBOL Floyd \| Floyd \| Which do you mean, the medicine bag or the copper dagger? Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Zach says (to Floyd), "dagger"

Zach says (to Floyd), "take dagger"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > TAKE DAGGER Floyd \| Floyd \| You carefully take your weapon down from the wall and study it Floyd \| thoughtfully for a moment. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Zach says (to Floyd), "x dagger"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > X DAGGER Floyd \| Floyd \| Your dagger fits snugly in your hand, the copper blade as long as your Floyd \| forearm. You have knives and spears for other work, but this dagger is Floyd \| different. It is your prized possession; a talisman against times of Floyd \| woe, and though it has been long since you wielded it in war, your Floyd \| muscles still remember the way to use it.

Zach says (to Floyd), "x bag"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > X BAG Floyd \| Floyd \| Your lover's medicine bag is like a tiny garden, filled with dried Floyd \| herbs wrapped in leaves and small clay vials.

Zach says (to Floyd), "take bag"

Floyd \| Floyd \| It has been night for many hours, but the air is still warm, and the Floyd \| stars are a million brilliant fires above you. Nearby are the vague Floyd \| outlines of your neighbors' tents, but on this moonless night only the Floyd \| distant glow of the fire pit seems truly alive. Floyd \| Floyd \| In the darkness a few feet away, Sihan and Saiph talk quietly in Floyd \| strained tones. Floyd \| Floyd \| As you approach, your enemy grows silent.

		Ellison says, "I haven't played that one, sorry"
		inky says, "there aren't any wrong answers in this game, katie"
		katie-paquette says (to Ellison), "I think we're playing the same one we played last week."
		Ellison says, "yeah, I haven't made it to a ClubFloyd in a while. the transcript should be online, though, if you wanted to read it"

Zach has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
pollux has had its fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.		katie-paquette says (to zach), "Go on with ClubFloyd without me."
		katie-paquette says (to pollux), "Go ahead and do ClubFloyd without me."
		pollux says, "Well, nobody else seems to be around."
		katie-paquette says, "Well I don't know what to d."
		pollux says, "I was there last time and could probably make a go of it, but I think it's better to wait in case anyone else cares."
		pollux says, "Unless, that is, you want to come back."
		katie-paquette asks (of pollux), "What did we do last time?"
		pollux says, "Played as a healer who loved Saiph, wasn't very good at convincing anyone during the story, and then brokered peace with the outsiders."
		katie-paquette says (to pollux), "I would but thing is I've been known to make poor decisions so I'd rather have someone who knows what the heck they're doing to drive Floyd."

dddddd says (to Floyd), "greet Saiph"
Floyd ] enemy Floyd \| Floyd \| > GREET SAIPH Floyd \| Floyd \| You clasp Saiph's strong hand and turn to Sihan with a frown. Floyd \| Floyd \| "What business have you here?" you ask her coldly. Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan tosses her hair and fixes her sharp gaze on you. "I came to see Floyd \| if Saiph has sense left in his head after a season with you," she says Floyd \| levelly. "But I see that, like you, he would lead our people down the Floyd \| path of needless killing. I have no more to say." She turns and Floyd \| vanishes into the darkness without a sound.

Floyd \| Floyd \| Saiph stares down at you with distaste. "I came to see if Sihan has Floyd \| sense left in her head after a season with you," he says levelly. "But Floyd \| I see that, like you, she would lead our people down the path of Floyd \| needless killing. I have no more to say." He turns and strides Floyd \| fiercely into the darkness. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "enemy"
Floyd ] night telling newcomers Floyd \| Floyd \| > ENEMY Floyd \| Floyd \| "Saiph talks endlessly, but words cannot sharpen axes or protect Floyd \| children," your love says. "He is convinced still that these newcomers Floyd \| mean us no harm. What will it take for him to wake up to the truth?" Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan sighs. "He still hopes for peace with the NEWCOMERS," your lover Floyd \| says, "and was upset to find I do not share his views. We shall see if Floyd \| your enemy has better luck at the TELLING." She looks up to the stars, Floyd \| and adds, "It is a good NIGHT for it." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "x stars"

dddddd says (to floyd), "newcomers"
Floyd ] night telling fires Floyd \| Floyd \| > NEWCOMERS Floyd \| Floyd \| "Have you heard the news?" she asks. "Young Ada found traces of a camp Floyd \| less than an hour's walk from here, and more than half a day from Floyd \| their FIRES in the valley. Saiph maintains they were merely Floyd \| investigating our camp. Many, perhaps, would call it spying instead," Floyd \| she says darkly. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "fires"
Floyd ] night telling Floyd \| Floyd \| > FIRES Floyd \| Floyd \| "The moon has waxed and grown small again since they arrived," Sihan Floyd \| murmurs, holding you tightly. "Why don't they come to us? Why do they Floyd \| hide when we send our emissaries? They must know the unrest they're Floyd \| causing in us." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "night"
Floyd ] telling Floyd \| Floyd \| > NIGHT Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan points up at the night sky. "See how bright the stars are," she Floyd \| says, "as if the gods themselves gather round our fire to hear the Floyd \| teller's story." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "telling"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > TELLING Floyd \| Floyd \| "It is almost time," your love says seriously. "I wonder, what story Floyd \| will we hear tonight? The people are buzzing about the newcomers; Floyd \| perhaps the teller's story will be about them." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "x tents"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > X TENTS Floyd \| Floyd \| Your people do not stay in one place from birth to death like the Floyd \| people of the city, nor are you always wandering, like the people of Floyd \| the desert; you find a peaceful spot and stay there till the animals Floyd \| move on or the stream dries up. These are their homes; they are all Floyd \| you need. Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan glances towards the fire pit and takes her medicine bag from Floyd \| you, slinging it into its familiar place around her neck. "Let us join Floyd \| the gathering and hear the story," your love says lightly, and turns Floyd \| to the FIRE at the center of the village. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		dddddd says, "So, let's go to the fire."
dddddd says (to floyd), "fire"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > FIRE Floyd \| Floyd \| You walk to the firepit with Sihan, and friends and neighbors greet Floyd \| you with a nod or quiet word. Floyd \| Floyd \| Always the fire pit is the center of the village, and always the Floyd \| people gather there. Faint smells of tonight's great feast still Floyd \| linger, but the fire now smolders low, only a shadow of its roaring Floyd \| fierceness at sunset. Floyd \| Floyd \| Nabu and Isi stand near the fire, along with a growing crowd. Sihan Floyd \| stands near your side. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "greet crowd"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > GREET CROWD Floyd \| Floyd \| A genuine smile fills your face as you greet some friends. There is Floyd \| little news other than that of the newcomers, but it is good to see Floyd \| their faces, nonetheless. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "greet Isi"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > GREET ISI Floyd \| Floyd \| "My brightest light," says Isi as she always does, a smile lighting Floyd \| her face as she pulls you down to kiss your cheek. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "greet Nabu"
Floyd ] storyteller Floyd \| Floyd \| > GREET NABU Floyd \| Floyd \| Your uncle Nabu regards you seriously. "Are you ready to fight for Floyd \| your people, should you be called upon?" he asks. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Perhaps it will not come to fighting," you say. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Who can tell?" he says, "But those who bear arms must be prepared, Floyd \| nonetheless." Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan places a hand on your shoulder. "Go on, my love," she says Floyd \| softly. "Give the circlet of office to the STORYTELLER. It is time." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "storyteller"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > STORYTELLER Floyd \| Floyd \| "The storyteller awaits," Sihan says. "The telling cannot begin until Floyd \| the teller's circlet has been gifted." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "x circlet"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > X CIRCLET Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan spent countless weeks collecting the delicate feathers and Floyd \| weaving them together to make this circlet. It is light as air in your Floyd \| hands, and seems to glow in the firelight. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "give circlet to Isi"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > GIVE CIRCLET TO ISI Floyd \| Floyd \| You approach your aunt Isi and hand the circlet to the white-haired Floyd \| old woman. She takes it delicately, eyeing the craftsmanship, and then Floyd \| turns to Sihan with a nod and a warm smile. Carefully, she lifts it up Floyd \| to her old head--and now before you is no longer your father's sister, Floyd \| but the storyteller... a role she has taken every new moon for many Floyd \| years. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "talk to Nabu"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > TALK TO NABU Floyd \| Floyd \| "How is your knee?" you ask your uncle gently. Floyd \| Floyd \| He rubs it with a rueful smile. "It aches tonight," he says, looking Floyd \| to the stars. "Rain is coming, despite appearances. A heavy rain." Floyd \| Floyd \| Saiph approaches the far side of the fire and greets some friends Floyd \| warmly. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "mock Saiph"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > MOCK SAIPH Floyd \| Floyd \| "Will you and your cronies hear tonight's story, Saiph?" you call Floyd \| across the fire. "Or will you be too busy weaving flower garlands for Floyd \| the newcomer attack force?" Floyd \| Floyd \| Saiph stares at you with dagger eyes. "Your taunts only reveal your Floyd \| immaturity," he says. "Do not trouble me with more of them." Floyd \| Floyd \| Sihan kisses your cheek. "May the story bring you what you seek," she Floyd \| whispers, then slips into the crowd. Your beloved has always liked to Floyd \| hear the stories by herself. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "mock Saiph"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > MOCK SAIPH Floyd \| Floyd \| He is not nearby. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "talk to Isi"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > TALK TO ISI Floyd \| Floyd \| He is not nearby. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "listen"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > LISTEN Floyd \| Floyd \| A log falls in the fire, sending a shower of sparks up into the night. Floyd \| Floyd \| The murmurings of the people die away as the storyteller rises to her Floyd \| feet and raises two bony hands. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "x storyteller"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > X STORYTELLER Floyd \| Floyd \| She is not nearby. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "listen"
Floyd ] yes no Floyd \| Floyd \| > LISTEN Floyd \| Floyd \| It is strangely quiet around the fire. Floyd \| Floyd \| The storyteller shouts, "In this time of darkness the people gather Floyd \| for the telling. Will the people hear?" Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "yes"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > YES Floyd \| Floyd \| You call out your response along with many others. Floyd \| Floyd \| The crowd cries out with one voice, "The people are ready." The teller Floyd \| bows humbly, accepting the people's blessing, then straightens with Floyd \| the hint of a smile. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Tonight," she says, "we shall hear an old, old story, from days long Floyd \| ago when great cities and mighty kings ruled this land. May you find Floyd \| in the story that which you seek." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "praise storyteller"
Floyd ] Floyd \| Floyd \| > PRAISE STORYTELLER Floyd \| Floyd \| She is not nearby. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "listen"
Floyd ] uruk wall temple tablet gilgamesh Floyd \| Floyd \| > LISTEN Floyd \| Floyd \| A bat circles above the fire for a moment, then swoops away. Floyd \| Floyd \| The storyteller lifts her hands in invocation. "Our story begins," she Floyd \| says quietly, "in the far-off city of URUK. Uruk of the broad streets, Floyd \| Uruk of the mighty WALLS. Can you see them, gleaming in the desert Floyd \| heat?" Floyd \| Floyd \| The teller gestures into the night, and in your mind the walls come Floyd \| alive, shimmering in the desert air. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Come," she continues, "cross the ancient threshold, walk the streets Floyd \| and orchards and markets. Walk the streets and climb the great stone Floyd \| steps to the TEMPLE. Climb the steps and find the box of burnished Floyd \| copper. Find the box and undo the lock and draw out the great TABLET Floyd \| of deep blue stone. Draw out the tablet and read of Uruk's king, Floyd \| Uruk's pride, Uruk's greatest hero. Hear of the trials of GILGAMESH." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "wall"
Floyd ] uruk temple tablet gilgamesh Floyd \| Floyd \| > WALL Floyd \| Floyd \| "How high were the walls of Uruk?" you ask. Floyd \| Floyd \| "As high as ten men," the storyteller replies, "and made of the finest Floyd \| brickwork both inside and outside. GILGAMESH built them, a work no Floyd \| later king could match, to defend the people of URUK from her foes. Floyd \| From their top the whole city is laid out below you, only the TEMPLE Floyd \| still above." Floyd \| Floyd \| Saiph glowers at you from across the flames. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
TheCustodian arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.
dddddd says (to floyd), "x Saiph"
Floyd ] uruk temple tablet gilgamesh Floyd \| Floyd \| > X SAIPH Floyd \| Floyd \| He is not nearby. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to floyd), "tablet"
Floyd ] uruk temple gilgamesh Floyd \| Floyd \| > TABLET Floyd \| Floyd \| "From where came this tablet of bluest stone?" you ask. Floyd \| Floyd \| "GILGAMESH carved it," the teller says, "cut his words deep into the Floyd \| tablet of lapis lazuli, bluest of blues. Wise Gilgamesh carved all his Floyd \| exploits and knowledge into the tablets, and hid them under the Floyd \| cornerstone of URUK, so men would remember his deeds long after he Floyd \| went to the underworld. But," the teller adds, "that was long after Floyd \| the story we shall hear tonight." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
TheCustodian has had its fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
dddddd says (to Floyd), "Uruk"
Floyd ] uruk temple Floyd \| Floyd \| > URUK Floyd \| Floyd \| Your mouth is already open to respond when Saiph's voice booms across Floyd \| the circle. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Is this a well-chosen tale?" Saiph calls out darkly. "Should we hear Floyd \| stories of battle and war when they lie on our very doorstep?" Floyd \| Floyd \| The crowd looks hesitantly between Saiph and the storyteller, who Floyd \| regards your enemy with inscrutable eyes. "Stories are not all of far Floyd \| off places and distant times," she says softly. "The world tells us Floyd \| stories every day, and the wise pay heed. Gilgamesh may teach us much Floyd \| tonight, if we have the ears to hear." Saiph bows stiffly, accepting Floyd \| the storyteller's decision. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "Uruk"
Floyd ] aruru adad shamash man Floyd \| Floyd \| > URUK Floyd \| Floyd \| "Tell more of the city of Uruk," you ask. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Uruk, mighty Uruk of the wide streets," the teller says with shining Floyd \| eyes, "its heart the temple of Inanna, towering over all; its skin Floyd \| mighty walls of oven-fired brick, their like unmatched in all the Floyd \| world. Uruk, planned by the seven sages and filled with orchards and Floyd \| gardens. Never was a city more mighty and proud than Uruk, and never Floyd \| had any city so great a king." Floyd \| Floyd \| The teller continues. "MIGHTY was Gilgamesh, a lord among lords. Floyd \| Mighty is he who both leads the way and guards the rear. Mighty is he Floyd \| who both crashes like a wave and shelters the weak. Gilgamesh was Floyd \| tall, strong, bearded, a roaring bull among his people. ARURU, mother Floyd \| of the Earth, gave him his form, and ADAD the Storm gave him courage, Floyd \| and SHAMASH the Sun gave him beauty--but," the teller's piercing eyes Floyd \| fixate on the crowd, "he was still a MAN, nonetheless." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "man"
Floyd ] aruru adad shamash man men gods Floyd \| Floyd \| > MAN Floyd \| Floyd \| Gilgamesh had something of the GODS in him, it seems, but also Floyd \| something of MEN. Which, you wonder, shaped him more? Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "listen"
Floyd ] adad shamash man men gods Floyd \| Floyd \| > LISTEN Floyd \| Floyd \| A log falls in the fire, sending a shower of sparks up into the night. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Please tell us more of Lady Aruru," a timid little girl asks. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Lady Aruru," the teller sighs, "Lady of the Gods, Lady of the Floyd \| Foothills, Mother of the Earth, made Gilgamesh as she made the first Floyd \| man long eons ago. She formed an image of Gilgamesh in her mind, took Floyd \| up her clay, and kneaded it, shaped it into Gilgamesh's form. More Floyd \| MIGHTY she made him than a normal man: taller, broader, and stronger." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "men"
Floyd ] adad shamash Floyd \| Floyd \| > MEN Floyd \| Floyd \| "With so many gods to shape him, how is it that Gilgamesh was only a Floyd \| man?" you ask. Floyd \| Floyd \| "The gods did shape him," the storyteller replies with a nod, "but Floyd \| gave him no godly powers: no magic touch, or gift of foresight, or Floyd \| long, ageless life. Gilgamesh shared the fate of all mankind, and this Floyd \| was why long after many of the old gods fell and were forgotten, the Floyd \| people of Uruk remembered him, for he was one of them." Floyd \| Floyd \| A voice somewhere behind you calls, "It is true!" and a majority nod Floyd \| their heads in agreement. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "listen"
Floyd ] dead companion trouble Floyd \| Floyd \| > LISTEN Floyd \| Floyd \| A bat circles above the fire for a moment, then swoops away. Floyd \| Floyd \| The telling continues. "With his friend and companion ENKIDU," the Floyd \| storyteller says, "Gilgamesh ruled Uruk with a young and prideful Floyd \| heart. But he saw the DEAD and dying in the streets of Uruk, and his Floyd \| mind was TROUBLED." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "Adad"
Floyd ] dead companion kinship trouble Floyd \| Floyd \| > ADAD Floyd \| Floyd \| The time is not right to weave that into the story. Floyd \| Floyd \| "It was BATTLE that united Enkidu and Gilgamesh in friendship, was it Floyd \| not?" Saiph says musingly. Floyd \| Floyd \| "It is often the way," the teller says, "that two foes may only find Floyd \| KINSHIP through the bitterest battles. But perhaps," she adds humbly, Floyd \| "this is only the way in stories." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
dddddd says (to Floyd), "battle"
Floyd ] dead companion kinship trouble Floyd \| Floyd \| > BATTLE Floyd \| Floyd \| "How did Enkidu challenge Gilgamesh?" you wonder aloud. Floyd \| Floyd \| "ENKIDU heard how Gilgamesh took the young men from their fathers and Floyd \| the young women from their mothers, and he grew angry," says the Floyd \| storyteller.
