Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Casey glances around the newspaper office. "Orchid is gone, right?" Floyd | Floyd | "Yes, she left. Why do you ask?" Floyd | Floyd | "I wanted to give you this while she wasn't around." He hands you a Floyd | thick, well-leafed notebook. "It's just kind of a guide kind of thing, Floyd | with some general information and directions, just to help you get Floyd | around. Don't let Orchid see it." Floyd | Floyd | "Are you sure I'll require so much background material? And why Floyd | shouldn't Orchid see it?" Floyd | Floyd | "Well, Robin," Casey says, and he spins around a chair to sit on it Floyd | backwards in what he surely thinks is a very casual and friendly pose, Floyd | "Orchid is a church member, and you're not, and you missed the Floyd | lock-in, so you don't have a lot of the context that Orchid has. I Floyd | just wanted to put you on an even footing. And for your second Floyd | question, I might have written some things in there that I wouldn't Floyd | have said to Orchid's face." Floyd | Floyd | You nod, and slip the notebook into your backpack. "I'm sure you've Floyd | adequately prepared me for my mission." Floyd | Floyd | "Yes, I have. You're welcome. No, wait, I've got one more thing to Floyd | say. Make sure you take lots of pictures, obviously. It's your job. Floyd | That's one." He starts counting on his fingers. "Um, it's more fun if Floyd | you run off by yourself, so make sure you get Sharon off your back. Floyd | That's two. And keep an open mind. I mean, just because you don't Floyd | believe in ghosts doesn't mean you're not gonna see one. Floyd | Floyd | "So, yeah. That's three things." | ||
| Ghogg arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | genericgeekgirl asks, "Anyone still reading?" | |

Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | "So, yeah. That's three things." Floyd | Robin & Orchid Floyd | An exercise in photojournalism by Ryan Veeder & Emily Boegheim Floyd | Release 3 / Serial number 131027 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Nursery Floyd | Sharon, in her wisdom, decided that everybody should sleep in this Floyd | cramped corner of the church basement. Floyd | Floyd | Battered toys spill out of the toybox and across the floor, piling up Floyd | in a corner of the room. Cupboards are mounted high on the walls, out Floyd | of reach of tiny fingers, and an enormous blue recliner sits Floyd | underneath them. It's already dark outside, and the doors west to the Floyd | basement stairway and south are dark as well. Floyd | Floyd | Your sleeping bag is lying on a tidy patch of floor, ready for when Floyd | you finish your investigation. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid is lounging around, lecturing you. Floyd | Floyd | "You'd better hold onto this," she says, handing you the camera, Floyd | "you're the official photographer. Just don't forget, if you see Floyd | something that might be evidence of a ghost, make sure you take a Floyd | photo of it." Floyd | Floyd | You slip the camera strap around your neck. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x toys" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > X TOYS Floyd | Floyd | Toy cars, a lot of wooden blocks, a tea set, that kind of thing. It Floyd | looks like someone tried to take a bite out of one of the blocks. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid notices your notebook. "What's all that?" she asks. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, Casey gave it to me. It's just some notes about things in the Floyd | church." Floyd | Floyd | "Is there anything about me in there?" Floyd | Floyd | "I don't think so," you lie, and Orchid loses interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Lying is bad. We should not lie in a church." | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "bite block" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > BITE BLOCK Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the toys) Floyd | You gather up an armful of toys. Floyd | Floyd | The prospect raises a sick feeling in your stomach. All these toys are Floyd | probably covered in germs. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, and," Orchid adds, "don't turn the lights on while you're looking Floyd | around unless you have to. Some ghosts won't appear unless it's dark, Floyd | and we've only got tonight to gather all our evidence." Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "<3 I am so glad that worked." | |
| Zach says, "Eww" | ||
| Olly says, "Heh." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "lie to orchid" | ||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | some toys Floyd | Casey's notes Floyd | a Polaroid camera (being worn) Floyd | Floyd | Sharon stomps into the nursery. "There are supposed to be some Floyd | blankets somewhere in this nursery," she says. "Robin, can you find Floyd | them and grab them for me?" She looks thoughtfully at the child-sized Floyd | cots scattered around the room. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "kiss orchid" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > KISS ORCHID Floyd | Floyd | The reason your overnight investigatory team had to consist of two Floyd | girls was to minimize the chances of any funny business. Floyd | Floyd | "Okay, girls," Sharon says. "Here's how this is going to work." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Ghogg goes home. | genericgeekgirl says, "Hahahahahahahahha." | |
| Zach asks, "Minimize? Are you sure?" | ||
| Olly says, "Shows what they know." | ||
| Olly says, "We should probably read the notebook." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "read notebook" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > READ NOTEBOOK Floyd | Floyd | The notebook is thick, and as you flick through the pages, it looks Floyd | like it's nearly full. Surely Casey didn't make notes about Floyd | everything in the church? How long did he spend on this Floyd | anyway? Floyd | Floyd | There's way too much information here to sit down and read it all at Floyd | once, but you can look up anything you want to know about. Floyd | Floyd | Sharon continues, "This is your story and your investigation, so don't Floyd | expect me to be running around the church with you all night." She Floyd | pushes one of the cots up against the wall. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Ellison arrives, full of fun and funk. | DavidW asks, "hm. This is sounding very familiar. Perhaps I played it with ClubFloyd and didn't take any notes?" | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x sharon" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > X SHARON Floyd | Floyd | Sharon is the student teacher assisting the staff advisor for the West Floyd | High Warbler. In the past the staff has always managed quite Floyd | well without a student teacher, but she does come in handy as a Floyd | chaperone for situations like this. Floyd | Floyd | She pulls another of the cots toward her and lines it up with the Floyd | first one. "I don't care if you stay up all night, tomorrow isn't a Floyd | school day so it's not my problem if you're exhausted. Personally, I Floyd | want my eight hours, though." Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl asks, "I'm sorry, but an adult is seriously letting us investigate ghosts?" | |
| Lionheart says, "New to me anyhow." | ||
| Olly says, "In a church." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "kill sharon" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > KILL SHARON Floyd | Floyd | You have to assume you'd get in huge trouble if you attacked Floyd | Sharon—like suspended-at-the-very-least levels of trouble. Floyd | Floyd | "So I'm going to stay here and sleep, and you two are going to get on Floyd | with your investigating, and not wake me up unless there's a Floyd | life-threatening emergency or something." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "look up blankets in notes" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK UP BLANKETS IN NOTES Floyd | Floyd | [This action may cause some slight lag in the browser version of this Floyd | game. We sincerely regret any inconvenience.] Floyd | Floyd | You flick through the notes and read Casey's scrawly handwriting: Floyd | "What I heard is that you guys are going to sleep in the nursery, Floyd | which doesn't make sense because there are couches in the youth rooms, Floyd | but I guess those couches are pretty grody actually. I see your point. Floyd | They keep some blankets up in the cupboards, but somebody as short as Floyd | you is probably going to have to climb up on top of the recliner to Floyd | reach them. No offense, Robin. I'm just saying. You're really short." Floyd | Floyd | "Orchid, pass me that cot in the corner, will you?" Sharon asks. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid pulls a face but goes to get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Lionheart says (to Floyd), "look up orchid" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK UP ORCHID Floyd | Floyd | (in Casey's notes) Floyd | You flick through the notes and read Casey's scrawly handwriting: Floyd | "Here's an anecdote about Orchid. This happened just recently. I Floyd | didn't tell you, because I wanted to save it for here. Okay: Floyd | Floyd | "I'm at school after hours because of rehearsals. But we're still in Floyd | the fairly lazy stage of the production, so there's lots of time to Floyd | just goof off around the school. So while the underclassmen are Floyd | sitting around in the hall running lines, I head up to the drama Floyd | office, because there are donuts there. Floyd | Floyd | "But Orchid and Aiden Kingsley are already up in the office, and as Floyd | soon as I poke my head in Orchid looks up and says 'Actors only, Floyd | please!' and I'm like 'Actually, I am an actor,' and she says, 'Well, Floyd | you know what I mean.' Floyd | Floyd | "No, Orchid! I do not have the slightest idea what you mean. I would Floyd | have just grabbed a donut and left, but you're not allowed to take the Floyd | donuts out of the drama office, so I just left. Floyd | Floyd | "I wouldn't say I hate Orchid. Hate is a very strong word. I Floyd | completely hate Aiden, though." Floyd | Floyd | "Just don't complain to me when you've spent the whole night Floyd | ghost-hunting and have nothing to show for it. Thanks, Orchid." Sharon Floyd | pushes the last cot into place alongside the other two and frowns at Floyd | the result. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "look up me" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK UP ME Floyd | Floyd | (in Casey's notes) Floyd | You flick through the notes and read Casey's scrawly handwriting: Floyd | "Let's see. Robin is, I would say, the second-best writer on the Floyd | newspaper staff. She is pretty fun a lot of the time but some of the Floyd | time she is a stick in the mud. Mostly she's good though. She came to Floyd | the church youth group one or two times but now she doesn't want to go Floyd | back for a bunch of reasons. The reason I am writing about you in the Floyd | third person is: it's a joke. It's supposed to be funny." Floyd | Floyd | Sharon unrolls a thin mattress on top of the cots. "I expect the West Floyd | High Warbler can find some other story to run if this one Floyd | doesn't work out. It'll be a nuisance, though." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Cupboards are mounted high on the walls, out Floyd | of reach of tiny fingers, and an enormous blue recliner sits Floyd | underneath them. It's already dark outside, and the doors west to the Floyd | basement stairway and south are dark as well. Floyd | Floyd | Your sleeping bag is lying on the floor, ready for when you finish Floyd | your investigation. Floyd | Floyd | Sharon is shuffling some tiny cots around, trying to to turn them into Floyd | a grown-up-sized bed. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid is lounging around, yawning. Floyd | Floyd | "Have you found the blankets yet?" Sharon asks. Floyd | Floyd | "Yes, but I can't reach them." You point out the location of the Floyd | blankets. Floyd | Floyd | Sharon tries to pull them down from the cupboard and fails. She's Floyd | barely taller than you are. "This room was designed for giantesses," Floyd | she grumbles. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > GET BLANKETS Floyd | Floyd | (first opening the nursery cupboards) Floyd | Yes, there are the blankets. Right where Casey said they'd be. Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl rolls eyes. | |
| genericgeekgirl says, "Worst. Teacher. Ever." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x blankets" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > X BLANKETS Floyd | Floyd | The blankets are small, thin, and colorful. Probably they're designed Floyd | for making kids' afternoon naps fun, not for actually sleeping under. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "give blankets to sharon" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > GIVE BLANKETS TO SHARON Floyd | Floyd | Sharon takes the pile of blankets from you. "Thanks, Robin," she says. Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly Orchid gasps and grabs your arm. "Someone's outside!" she Floyd | squeaks, pointing at the window. Floyd | Floyd | Behind the glass, you see a pale face, blurry in the dim light. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "scream" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > SCREAM Floyd | Floyd | You let out a panicky shriek. Sharon jumps and glares at you. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Photograph it!" | |
| Olly says (to Floyd), "take photo of face" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE PHOTO OF FACE Floyd | Floyd | (with the Polaroid camera) Floyd | The click of the shutter sounds loud in the silence and seems to Floyd | startle the creature outside the window. It turns and vanishes out of Floyd | the light, its tail flicking past the glass. Orchid gives a Floyd | high-pitched giggle. Floyd | Floyd | "Scared of a cat!" Sharon says. "You better not freak out and wake me Floyd | up every time you mistake a shadow for a ghost tonight." Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, ">^..^<" | |

Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK IN CUPBOARD Floyd | Floyd | The nursery cupboards are empty. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid peeks over your shoulder at the photo you took. "Hey, that's Floyd | good!" she says. "I guess you can see how it's a cat now, but it Floyd | looked really spooky, didn't it?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Lionheart says (to Floyd), "open window" | ||
Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > OPEN WINDOW Floyd | Floyd | It seems to be stuck. Anyway, it's really too cold to have the windows Floyd | open. Floyd | Floyd | Sharon yawns. "Right, I'm going to bed now. Keep out of trouble, don't Floyd | break anything, and don't wake me up unless it's really, Floyd | really serious, got it?" Without waiting for an answer, she lies Floyd | down on the row of cots, facing away from you, and pulls the blankets Floyd | over herself. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid says, "We'd better get started. How about this: you check out Floyd | the basement, and I'll go upstairs and look around there, and then Floyd | we'll meet up and compare notes. Don't forget to take a photo if you Floyd | find any evidence of a ghost!" She slips out of the room. A moment | ||

Floyd | later, you hear her footsteps echoing in the stairwell as she heads
Floyd | back up to the main floor.

It's much too small and pale to be Floyd | anything human. Although outside the window, obscured by the glass, it Floyd | did look pretty ghostly.

Jennie Bancroft is the name of the Floyd | ghost that haunts Grace United Methodist. She used to be alive, but Floyd | then she died, in or around the church, sometime in the distant past. Floyd | I keep meaning to look up when she died but I haven't had time. Floyd | Floyd | "When people see her, she looks like a teenage girl in pigtails. I Floyd | don't think she shows up covered in blood or anything like that; she's Floyd | just a sad girl. Obviously a lot of the time she's invisible though. Floyd | Floyd | "Some of the evidence that we have for her existence includes: Floyd | Floyd | - sounds of footsteps and a girl crying when nobody else is in the Floyd | church Floyd | - cold spots in rooms, rooms that suddenly become cold for no reason Floyd | - stuff goes missing, then shows up again Floyd | - you see someone at the end of the hallway but when you get to the Floyd | end of the hallway there's nobody there Floyd | - basically everybody has seen her out of the corner of their eye at Floyd | some point Floyd | Floyd | "Debate continues on the subject of how Jennie died. Popular theories Floyd | state that she jumped off of the church steeple, or she drank poison, Floyd | or used a space heater to carbon monoxide herself. According to one Floyd | explanation she died accidentally, because she was using a Ouija Floyd | board, but that theory is idiotic.

He is unbearable. You Floyd | should be able to guess from the mustache. Floyd | Floyd | "Aiden goes to parties, gets girls drunk, makes out with them, and Floyd | then convinces them that his number is '123-4567'.

This is the worst thing Aiden does: He laughs at Floyd | every single one of his own jokes—sometimes just at sentences he Floyd | says Floyd | that can't even be considered jokes—and it's always the same Floyd | single-syllable laugh, always the same pitch, pronounced exactly the Floyd | same way. It's not really a laugh, it's more of a signal that you're Floyd | supposed to think he's funny.

Floyd ] Steeple Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK UP DRESS Floyd | Floyd | (in Casey's notes) Floyd | You flick through the notes and read Casey's scrawly handwriting: "I Floyd | don't know how much you already know about the ghost in the church so Floyd | I'll give you the whole story. Jennie Bancroft is the name of the Floyd | ghost that haunts Grace United Methodist. She used to be alive, but Floyd | then she died, in or around the church, sometime in the distant past. Floyd | I keep meaning to look up when she died but I haven't had time. Floyd | Floyd | "When people see her, she looks like a teenage girl in pigtails. I Floyd | don't think she shows up covered in blood or anything like that; she's Floyd | just a sad girl. Obviously a lot of the time she's invisible though. Floyd | Floyd | "Some of the evidence that we have for her existence includes: Floyd | Floyd | - sounds of footsteps and a girl crying when nobody else is in the Floyd | church Floyd | - cold spots in rooms, rooms that suddenly become cold for no reason Floyd | - stuff goes missing, then shows up again Floyd | - you see someone at the end of the hallway but when you get to the Floyd | end of the hallway there's nobody there Floyd | - basically everybody has seen her out of the corner of their eye at Floyd | some point Floyd | Floyd | "Debate continues on the subject of how Jennie died. Popular theories Floyd | state that she jumped off of the church steeple, or she drank poison, Floyd | or used a space heater to carbon monoxide herself. According to one Floyd | explanation she died accidentally, because she was using a Ouija Floyd | board, but that theory is idiotic. Jennie Bancroft definitely Floyd | committed suicide, and it was definitely because of a boy she was in Floyd | love with." Floyd | Floyd | > | Lionheart asks, "Down for some denoument?" | |

Floyd ] Balcony Floyd | > Floyd | > D Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Balcony Floyd | Standing here, you have a good view of the altar and most of the Floyd | sanctuary. A low wall with a railing along the top prevents accidents, Floyd | though it probably also obscures the view for anyone sitting on the Floyd | balcony pews. A projector is mounted at one end of the pews, pointing Floyd | down towards the front of the sanctuary. Behind the pews you can see Floyd | the ladder up to the steeple, and a narrow staircase leads back down Floyd | to the sanctuary. Floyd | Floyd | The orange box is sitting upside down on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | A tangled heap of bars and cables is lying near the edge of the Floyd | balcony. Floyd | Floyd | You look back to make sure Aiden has followed you. Floyd | Floyd | "Yes. Now I'll tell you the answer to your question. Of course Orchid Floyd | knows. This was all Orchid's idea. She was very naughty. And I'm not Floyd | even supposed to be here, so I should probably get going." Floyd | Floyd | He tries to slip past you, but you grab his arm. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden yelps like a dog. "What's your problem?" Floyd | Floyd | "You're not going anywhere. I've got a few more questions." Floyd | Floyd | "Then can you get your hands off me first? You're gonna break my arm." Floyd | Floyd | "Sure." You let go of his arm. "Let's get going." You know exactly Floyd | where the two of you are going, but you should probably keep that a Floyd | surprise.

The way out of the church is Floyd | south of here, but that's none of your concern currently. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden follows you in.

Floyd | Floyd | "Hey. Don't bother," Aiden snaps. "I've already told her everything. Floyd | Or almost everything. Heh." Floyd | Floyd | Orchid rushes up to Aiden with her fists clenched. "You're lying. Floyd | There's no proof. All you can prove is that you broke into the church Floyd | and tried to scare us." Floyd | Floyd | "Well, no," says Aiden. "I can prove some other things.

There are doors to Floyd | the north, northeast and southeast; according to the plaques on them, Floyd | they open onto the pastor's office, the men's restroom and the ladies' Floyd | restroom respectively. Floyd | Floyd | A vast framed poster is hanging on the wall in between the restroom Floyd | doors, and in the middle of the room, directly facing the poster, is a Floyd | wooden bench. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid and Aiden follow along. Floyd | Floyd | "But Orchid had this other great idea. She figured if we went a little Floyd | further with the hoax, we could get you to believe the ghost was real. Floyd | Heh." Floyd | Floyd | "I wasn't trying to trick you!" Orchid pleads. "I just wanted it to be Floyd | authentic. I wanted it to be a great story." Floyd | Floyd | "Sure, and then the great ghost story would be in the newspaper with Floyd | the name of the most trustworthy reporter on staff on it, and Orchid's Floyd | name too." Aiden chuckles.

Mounted on the wall is a gigantic abstract painting. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid and Aiden come down the stairs after you. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden looks past you, into the nursery, and you can see something Floyd | click in his brain. Floyd | Floyd | "Although, you know, we could still do it. You guys can write the Floyd | story, I won't say anything, Orchid won't say anything, everyone will Floyd | love it, you'll probably be co-editors-in-chief next year.

It must be some kind of optical illusion, created Floyd | by the angles of the vaulted ceiling or the long rows of pews. Floyd | Floyd | Near the southern exit is a rolltop desk. Up at the north end of the Floyd | room is the altar, and the east stairway must lead up to the balcony. Floyd | Floyd | It is dark outside, and the stained glass windows are dull and Floyd | lifeless. Floyd | Floyd | Balcony Stairs Floyd | There isn't really any room in here for anything except the stairs up Floyd | to the balcony. An archway to the west leads back out into the Floyd | sanctuary. Floyd | Floyd | Balcony Floyd | Standing here, you have a good view of the altar and most of the Floyd | sanctuary. A low wall with a railing along the top prevents accidents, Floyd | though it probably also obscures the view for anyone sitting on the Floyd | balcony pews. A projector is mounted at one end of the pews, pointing Floyd | down towards the front of the sanctuary. Behind the pews you can see Floyd | the ladder up to the steeple, and a narrow staircase leads back down Floyd | to the sanctuary. Floyd | Floyd | The orange box is sitting upside down on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | A tangled heap of bars and cables is lying near the edge of the Floyd | balcony. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Steeple Floyd | > Floyd | > U Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Steeple Floyd | The inside of the church steeple is a cold concrete cube with Floyd | cinderblock walls. There's one window, but it's been boarded up. Floyd | Floyd | You jump. There's a boy sitting on the floor, smirking at you. It's Floyd | Aiden Kingsley. Floyd | Floyd | The ghost's glowing dress lies in a heap nearby. It doesn't look very Floyd | ghostly now. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden stands up. "Hey, hey, Robin! Are you enjoying your evening?" he Floyd | asks, smiling. Floyd | Floyd | You are not smiling. "So you're the ghost." Floyd | Floyd | "Well, yes. Well, no. I am not a dead person. Heh. But I portrayed the Floyd | ghost you saw, yes." Floyd | Floyd | "Does Orchid know?" Floyd | Floyd | "Does Orchid know. Does Orchid know? What a well-chosen detective Floyd | question." Floyd | Floyd | Aiden looks down the trapdoor behind you. "Do you think we could Floyd | continue this conversation downstairs? It's really freaking cold up Floyd | here." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Now I'll tell you the answer to your question. Of course Orchid Floyd | knows. This was all Orchid's idea. She was very naughty. And I'm not Floyd | even supposed to be here, so I should probably get going." Floyd | Floyd | He tries to slip past you, but you grab his arm. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden yelps like a dog. "What's your problem?" Floyd | Floyd | "You're not going anywhere. I've got a few more questions." Floyd | Floyd | "Then can you get your hands off me first? You're gonna break my arm." Floyd | Floyd | "Sure." You let go of his arm. "Let's get going." You know exactly Floyd | where the two of you are going, but you should probably keep that a Floyd | surprise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

An archway to the west leads back out into the Floyd | sanctuary. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden mopes along after you. Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah, Orchid brought the idea to me. She said if she could write a Floyd | story about a real ghost, then maybe people would actually read the Floyd | newspaper. Heh. But I told her I'd help her." Floyd | Floyd | "Why?" Floyd | Floyd | "For the heck of it, primarily." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | "Originally, she was just going to let me in the church during the Floyd | sleepover, and we'd just spend the night taking a bunch of ghost Floyd | pictures. However. Then we found out that you were going to be the Floyd | other newspaper girl staying the night. And Orchid said you'd never go Floyd | along with it. So we had to change the plan." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Narthex Floyd | > Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Narthex Floyd | The main entryway to the church, this room has been set up to be as Floyd | welcoming as possible. A rack of pamphlets sits in the center of a Floyd | large table, flanked by pots of fake flowers. Lying open on a podium Floyd | is a huge Bible. Pinned up on one wall is a board full of name tags. Floyd | Floyd | To the east is the fellowship hall, and the large passage to the north Floyd | obviously leads to the main sanctuary. The way out of the church is Floyd | south of here, but that's none of your concern currently. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden follows you in. Floyd | Floyd | As you enter the narthex, Orchid strolls in through the front door of Floyd | the church. When she sees Aiden, her eyes go wide. Floyd | Floyd | "Aiden! What are you doing here?" Floyd | Floyd | "Hey. Don't bother," Aiden snaps. "I've already told her everything. Floyd | Or almost everything. Heh." Floyd | Floyd | Orchid rushes up to Aiden with her fists clenched. "You're lying. Floyd | There's no proof. All you can prove is that you broke into the church Floyd | and tried to scare us." Floyd | Floyd | "Well, no," says Aiden. "I can prove some other things. I have the Floyd | receipts. For the makeup and everything. Because you had to use a Floyd | credit card, idiot." Floyd | Floyd | Orchid goes quiet. Floyd | Floyd | "Well, we can talk about this in the morning," Aiden says, and he Floyd | makes for the southern exit—but you grab his arm, and he cries out Floyd | softly. "Yeah. Your way is probably better." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Fellowship Hall Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Fellowship Hall Floyd | This room is a bit crowded for your tastes: between the many round Floyd | tables, each surrounded by a complement of folding chairs, there isn't Floyd | much space to get from one end of the room to the other. The main Floyd | stairway is north, the kitchen is east, and the narthex is west. Floyd | Floyd | One corner is given over to a glass case containing a model church. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden and Orchid come in after you. Floyd | Floyd | "Now, where were we? Orchid didn't trust you to help her pull off this Floyd | hoax. She said you're too much of a straight arrow. Those weren't her Floyd | exact words. What were your exact words, Orchid?" Floyd | Floyd | Orchid is looking down at her shoes. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden shrugs. "She said something really nasty."

Floyd ] Main Floor Stairway Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Main Floor Stairway Floyd | This room forms a sort of nook off the fellowship hall to the south. A Floyd | wide flight of stairs leads down to the basement. There are doors to Floyd | the north, northeast and southeast; according to the plaques on them, Floyd | they open onto the pastor's office, the men's restroom and the ladies' Floyd | restroom respectively. Floyd | Floyd | A vast framed poster is hanging on the wall in between the restroom Floyd | doors, and in the middle of the room, directly facing the poster, is a Floyd | wooden bench. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid and Aiden follow along. Floyd | Floyd | "But Orchid had this other great idea. She figured if we went a little Floyd | further with the hoax, we could get you to believe the ghost was real. Floyd | Heh." Floyd | Floyd | "I wasn't trying to trick you!" Orchid pleads. "I just wanted it to be Floyd | authentic. I wanted it to be a great story." Floyd | Floyd | "Sure, and then the great ghost story would be in the newspaper with Floyd | the name of the most trustworthy reporter on staff on it, and Orchid's Floyd | name too." Aiden chuckles. "But, looks like that didn't work out." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Basement Stairway Floyd | > Floyd | > D Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Basement Stairway Floyd | This room is apparently just for show; there are no tables or chairs. Floyd | A wide staircase runs up to the main floor of the church, and doorways Floyd | lead east to the nursery, south to the Sunday School room and north to Floyd | the boiler room. Mounted on the wall is a gigantic abstract painting. Floyd | Floyd | Orchid and Aiden come down the stairs after you. Floyd | Floyd | Aiden looks past you, into the nursery, and you can see something Floyd | click in his brain. Floyd | Floyd | "Although, you know, we could still do it. You guys can write the Floyd | story, I won't say anything, Orchid won't say anything, everyone will Floyd | love it, you'll probably be co-editors-in-chief next year. Let's go Floyd | back upstairs, we'll get some better pictures of the ghost." Floyd | Floyd | "No thanks," you say. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Nursery Floyd | Battered toys spill out of the toybox and across the floor, piling up Floyd | in a corner of the room. Cupboards are mounted high on the walls, out Floyd | of reach of tiny fingers, and an enormous blue recliner sits Floyd | underneath them. It's already dark outside, and the doors west to the Floyd | basement stairway and south to the youth room are dark as well. Floyd | Floyd | Your sleeping bag is lying on the floor, ready for when you finish Floyd | your investigation. Floyd | Floyd | Sharon's makeshift bed doesn't look comfortable, but apparently she's Floyd | fast asleep anyway. Floyd | Floyd | You usher Aiden and Orchid in ahead of you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Nursery Floyd | > Floyd | > X BED Floyd | Floyd | Each cot is composed of scratchy fabric stretched over an aluminum Floyd | frame, and there is no way any of them could be very comfortable.

Floyd | "I heard that she's suspended from the next two issues of the paper."
Floyd |
Floyd | Casey pouts. "I wanted to be the one to tell you."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Sorry. Why don't you tell me what happened to Aiden?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "I'd love to! Except, I didn't know anything happened to Aiden. I
Floyd | didn't think they could do anything, since he's not on the newspaper?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Unfortunately for Aiden, in this case the left and right hands are in
Floyd | close communication. The drama department is putting him on probation
Floyd | for an as-yet undetermined period."
Floyd |
Floyd | Casey perks right back up. "Robin! That is the best thing I've ever
