| Jacqueline says, "Good morning, Floyders." | ||
| djfletch arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Jacqueline asks, "Do you all want to try Moments out of Time, which DavidW suggested (even though he is not here), or did you have something else in mind?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I will only be here for about an hour and a half today, so I'm actually down with the idea of more speed IFs." | ||
| Marvin asks, "Hmm. I'd like to try MooT at some point, but if DavidW suggested it and he's not here, perhaps we should wait until a day when he is?" | ||
| Marvin says, "SpeedIFs sound good." | ||
| pollux says, "I'm fine with that." | ||
| Marvin says, "I may be able to continue paying attention long enough to get through at least one SpeedIF." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh dear. In searching for 'speed' IFs, I have learned of the existence of Captain Speedo." | ||
| Marvin says, "Ha ha" | ||
| Marvin says, "I do not know what that is, and I'm not sure I wish to." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "There are at least five games in the series, all released in the same year." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Give me a sec. Looking for the highest rated speed IF we haven't yet played." | ||
| Roger arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | ||
| Jacqueline says, (to Floyd), "load sleepmask crescent" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Saint Louis Street. 7:30 pm. Three and a half hours from the end of Floyd | the world. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Crescent City at the Edge of Disaster Floyd | Copyright (c) 2000 by Emily Short. (First-time users should type Floyd | 'help'.) Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 010120 / Inform v6.15 Library 6/10 Floyd | Floyd | Saint Louis Street Floyd | Mostly deserted. The shops on either side of the street have closed Floyd | down, though that's not really enough to keep you out if you wanted to Floyd | go in -- considering the shape that they're in. The most disastrously Floyd | torn-open one is the shopfront of NOLA, to the west. Floyd | Floyd | North, where the junction with Chartres Street should be, there is Floyd | only a hastily-erected barricade of wire fencing. Beyond that, forest Floyd | impenetrable. Floyd | Floyd | To the south, Decatur Street, the last narrow strip, humanity's tiny Floyd | remaining purchase between the forest and the river. Floyd | Floyd | Nearby stands Brutus the Chihuahua, watching you grimly. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You look like shit, if you could see yourself, which you can't. Your Floyd | costume's torn at the elbows and knees, you've got bruises and Floyd | abrasions and contusions on every exposed skin surface, and there's a Floyd | general sense of foreboding located somewhere behind your left Floyd | eyesocket. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline is tempted to say, "...aren't bruises and contusions the same thing?" but realizes that's not helpful and it's a speed IF. | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/3 Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a black velvet cape (being worn) Floyd | a tattered note Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "read note" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/4 Floyd | Floyd | > READ NOTE Floyd | Floyd | Since you asked, this is ABSOLUTELY YOUR LAST CHANCE to prove that Floyd | there's something worth preserving in your puny civilization. Floyd | Otherwise you will be CRUSHED LIKE AN EGG. [This is scratched out and Floyd | in scarlet letters it says instead, LIKE YOUR OWN SKULLS.] Floyd | Floyd | Build a scale replica of the Taj Mahal out of food products at the Floyd | center of Jackson Square. And we'll think about it. Floyd | Floyd | Signed, the Bright Coalition. Floyd | Floyd | [ Rat bastards -- literally, mutant crossbreeds out of NIMH -- it took Floyd | you twenty hours of non-stop negotiation to get even this concession Floyd | out of them. They were laughing like hyenas by the time it ended. ] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Taleslinger arrives, full of fun and funk. | djfletch says, "omg a plot hook" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Yes." | ||
| Nitku arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline says, "Part of me thinks we don't make speed IFs like this anymore." | |
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x cape" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/5 Floyd | Floyd | > X CAPE Floyd | Floyd | A little damaged by your recent adventures, but it still hushes Floyd | reassuringly around you when you walk, and the tassel on the hood Floyd | still swings jauntily. It was all worth it, all the years of Floyd | training, all the effort, just to get to the moment when you first put Floyd | it on... when your mother's daughter became the Dark Avenger... but Floyd | those glory days are behind you. Floyd | Floyd | Unless you can save humanity from the grip of the Bright Coalition, Floyd | that is. Floyd | Floyd | > | Marvin asks, "Do we make actual speed IFs at all anymore?" | |
| Marvin only ever did one. | ||
| Jacqueline says, "If you mean 'in under 2 hours,' not really." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Though I've done two of those." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "One in under half an hour." | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x chihuahua" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/6 Floyd | Floyd | > X CHIHUAHUA Floyd | Floyd | So named by someone with a keen sense of irony and no personal fear. Floyd | Brutus stands a good 6 foot 8 inches, with the girth of a tree-trunk Floyd | and an affinity for leather gear. As you look at him, he breaks into Floyd | a toothy grin. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "talk to brutus" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/6 Floyd | Floyd | > TALK TO BRUTUS Floyd | Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to talk. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Is he blocking our way to Jackson Square?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "My guess is that he is." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "attack brutus" | ||
Floyd ] Saint Louis Street 0/7 Floyd | Floyd | > ATTACK BRUTUS Floyd | Floyd | Violence isn't the answer to this one. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] NOLA Restaurant 0/8 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | NOLA Restaurant Floyd | Once a rather chic restaurant -- one of Emeril Lagasse's lesser Floyd | spinoffs, it's true, but still, not bad. Floyd | Floyd | Now it looks like a bomb hit. The brushed alumninum decor is black Floyd | with soot. Tables are overturned, the windows shattered. The Floyd | elevator-in-a-cage that goes up to the second floor emits a perpetual Floyd | high-pitched whine. Floyd | Floyd | Swinging doors lead deeper into the restaurant. Floyd | Floyd | A single menu lies twisted among the wreckage. Floyd | Floyd | Brutus follows you faithfully. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline exclaims, "But I'm the Dark Avennnnnnngerrrrrrrr!" | |
| Jacqueline says, "(i.e. why no violence?)" | ||
| Marvin says (to Floyd), "x menu" | ||
Floyd ] NOLA Restaurant 0/9 Floyd | Floyd | > X MENU Floyd | Floyd | Tattered and burnt almost beyond recognition. Floyd | Floyd | You can pick out words here and there -- duck liver pate, sweetened Floyd | corn beverages, something about sorghum flour and something else about Floyd | candied hazelnuts... Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "I want to write a game where violence is the ONLY solution" | |
| Jacqueline says, "This is where we get our food to make the taj mahal." | ||
| Marvin says (to Floyd), "x elevator" | ||

The stainless counters are dirty and warped, the gas Floyd | stoves burnt out, the ovens gaping doorless maws. Floyd | Floyd | But most disturbingly: a rotting heap of Stuff. Floyd | Floyd | Brutus follows you faithfully. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I'm hoping that when the time comes it will be as simple as 'make taj majal from duck liver pate' as opposed to 'research architecture. determine 1/1000 scale. find sculpting tools. (etc)'" | |
| Marvin says, "Look, Stuff." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Brutus follows us... faithfully? huh." | ||
| Marvin says, "Yeah, I'm assuming he's on our side, or something." | ||
| inky arrives, full of fun and funk. | Jacqueline says, "Yeah, must be." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x stuff" | ||
Floyd ] NOLA Kitchen 0/11 Floyd | Floyd | > X STUFF Floyd | Floyd | The pile itself was made by human, not animal hands, one huge Floyd | assemblage of garbage that someone must have hoped to be able to burn Floyd | or get rid of. Who knows what might still be in the middle of it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "search stuff" | ||
Floyd ] NOLA Kitchen 4/12 Floyd | Floyd | > SEARCH STUFF Floyd | Floyd | Success! In the form of a single box of croutons, not even opened. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by four points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] NOLA Kitchen 4/15 Floyd | Floyd | > X BOX Floyd | Floyd | Close inspection of the box shows why it has survived. The contents Floyd | are pretty much entirely artificial. How embarrassing for Emeril. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I must admit I used to watch his show a ton." | |

Floyd | Floyd | You clear your throat a few times. "Excuse me, excuse me!" Floyd | Floyd | No one pays any attention. The artist who is sometimes known as Floyd | Prince and sometimes not continues to blast your eardrums. Floyd | Floyd | "OKAY THEN," roars Brutus.

| Jacqueline pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd ] Jackson Square, north side 8/48 Floyd | With a degree of articulateness that most would not expect from your Floyd | intimidating sidekick, Brutus explains to the crowd what must be done. Floyd | The picture of the Taj Mahal is prominently displayed. The crowd Floyd | parts reverently, then gathers again, an almost worshipful calm Floyd | settling over them as they begin to work peacefully, in unison, Floyd | constructing the beautiful building anew out of bread products. It is Floyd | perhaps the most perfect moment of your life. | DavidW says, "Anyway, I vaguely remember this game." | |

Floyd ] Town Square, Io Mining Colony Three 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Times are hard on Io. The bright and lively mining settlement you grew Floyd | up surrounded by has faded and withered under the rule of the new Floyd | Commander. Although life expectancy in the aluminium mines has never Floyd | been more than a few months, the happy-go-lucky acceptance of this Floyd | fact you used to know among the mining folk is gone. The stream of Floyd | arrivals seems to be drying up, and huge parts of the settlement lie Floyd | in ruins, dwelt in only by ghosts. Floyd | Floyd | It is at times like these that the accusing finger of the people Floyd | inevitably turns to point at taxation, and the new taxes levied by Floyd | Commander Brutus attract that finger like a lump of ore attracts an Floyd | Ionian. It's hard to pin the blame for the decline directly on Floyd | taxation, but since everyone hates the new Commander, it seems to be Floyd | helping. Floyd | Floyd | Or at least, you thought it was. It was a source of hope - now you Floyd | have an enemy in the Commander, a real, tangible adversary, whose Floyd | defeat would bring back happiness and joy to the colony. You would Floyd | give a heroic sendoff to the people's representative, who would Floyd | venture bravely into the palace and seek out Brutus. You would wait Floyd | pensively, hardly daring to hope, until the representative emerged Floyd | with the news - the Commander had capitulated! Joy would be restored!
