| Zach asks, "Suggestions?" | |||
| Zach says, "I've been purposefully avoiding parser games" | |||
| Zach says, "I kind of want to play Transparent because the blurb is so ridiculous" | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "Our options are: And Yet It Moves, Arqon, Enigma, Excelsior, Hill 160, Hunger Daemon, Jesse Stavro's Doorway, Tea Ceremony, The Black Lily, Tower, Transparent, Ugly Oafs" | |||
| Gerynar says, "I'm easy" | |||
| Gerynar says, "as in, I don't have an opinion on which game to play" | |||
| Zach says, "Riiight" | |||
| DavidW says, "I've played some of those." | |||
| genericgeekgirl | Some people are transparent. | |||
| Zach asks, "What haven't you played?" | |||
| DavidW says, "I've played much of Excelsior (but didn't finish), Tower (complete), Ugly Oafs (didn't finish)." | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "I've played an early demo of Tea Ceremony, although I completely failed to test it despite promising Naomi I would. It's definitely worth playing." | |||
| DavidW arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Zach says, "I'd be OK with that" | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "I'm also cool with Transparent, though. Or you know, whichever." | |||
| Zach asks, "Transparent?" | |||
| Zach asks, "Any other votes?" | |||
| DavidW says, "sure" | |||
| Gerynar says, "sounds good to me" | |||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask comp14transparent" | |||

Floyd ] Front Entrance Floyd | Transparent Floyd | An interactive exploration by Hanon Ondricek Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 140928 / Inform 7 build 6L38 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Front Entrance Floyd | You park the van at the location at the end of the GPS arrow and shut Floyd | off the ignition. This must be the place. There's nothing else like Floyd | it around for miles. Floyd | Floyd | You slide your way down from the warmth of the driver's seat and slam Floyd | the door, shrugging your coat around you securely against the chill of Floyd | the late afternoon sunset. Floyd | Floyd | Nothing but the highest bluish-gray roof tiles of the Thorne estate Floyd | peers at the outside world above the overgrowth of trees surrounding Floyd | the manor. Also, a ten-foot wall of roughly-mortared red bricks Floyd | topped with ornamental iron spikes surrounds the property, Floyd | establishing the border in castle-like fashion. Floyd | Floyd | Two square brick columns border the entryway, each topped with a Floyd | wrought-iron gaslight cage, taking up area about the size of a phone Floyd | booth on each side and spaced far enough apart that a double-hitched Floyd | carriage could be driven through into the courtyard. Floyd | Floyd | A sturdily-arched wooden gate (a recent addition to replace the Floyd | original rickety iron and discourage scofflaws from invading the Floyd | property and wrecking the place) enters the property to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Your van is parked here in the closest parking space. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Interesting. | If you choose YES for sound, some atmospheric but non-critical descriptions will" | ||
| genericgeekgirl | be omitted. | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "I was curious." | |||

Floyd ] Front Entrance Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | As a photographer, you're not accustomed to focusing your eye inward. Floyd | You look attractive enough in your standard bio picture taken in a Floyd | mirror with your face mostly concealed by your old giant 35mm and its Floyd | flash. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "It's OK; I'll make the noises." | ||
| Zach says, "This is a van. Vroom vroom." | |||

| DavidW says, "er parked" | |||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "x key" | |||
Floyd ] Front Entrance Floyd | > Floyd | > X KEY Floyd | Floyd | (the property key) Floyd | It's a flat, mass-produced door key that unlocks the outer gate. You Floyd | were given this in case the second unit crew finished up and split Floyd | before you got there. You had to make the two-hour drive up from the Floyd | small wedding that kept you away for most of today. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "_" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x house" | |||
Floyd ] Front Entrance Floyd | > Floyd | > X HOUSE Floyd | Floyd | Okay, so if you drew it out on paper from above: the brick wall would Floyd | be a big square. The covered colonnade borders the south, east, and Floyd | west sides. The courtyard is the center of the square. Another Floyd | smaller square on the upper left corner of the courtyard turned at a Floyd | 45 degree diagonal to become a diamond is the central structure of the Floyd | house where the front door is, and wings of the house form a right Floyd | angle from that on the northern and western sides of the big square. Floyd | Floyd | Outside the colonnade but connecting through it on the east if you Floyd | drove through the colonnade from the south and turned right through it Floyd | again is a stable building. If you turned left from the courtyard, Floyd | you'd drive through the colonnade and under the west wing into what Floyd | was purportedly another stable converted more recently into a garage Floyd | hidden behind the manor. Floyd | Floyd | You were late to the briefing where they tape the host that doesn't Floyd | actually come on set. You aren't actually in the shots as the host Floyd | points out rooms with the highest hotspot activity, but you Floyd | do remember the blueprints on a whiteboard. Floyd | Floyd | > | |||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x coat" | |||
Floyd ] Front Entrance Floyd | > Floyd | > X COAT Floyd | Floyd | (your coat) Floyd | It's very warm and comfortable wool with a handy pocket you used to Floyd | keep full of extra film. Floyd | Floyd | > | |||

| Zach says (to DavidW), "Take pictures of ghosts" | |||
| DavidW asks (of Zach), "Again?" | |||
| Zach says, "That's 90% of IF" | |||
| DavidW asks, "Didn't we just do that in Robin & Orchid?" | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "Haha, yes." | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "But presumably these are *real* ghosts." | |||

Floyd ] Peristyle Floyd | > Floyd | > ENTER Floyd | Floyd | You step through the gate, realizing that you don't have your camera Floyd | with you. You can always make clicky shutter noises with your mouth Floyd | and mime taking pictures, you suppose. Floyd | Floyd | Peristyle Floyd | Just inside the manor property, you find yourself sheltered by the Floyd | roof over the southern colonnade of a peristyle that surrounds an Floyd | overgrown courtyard on three sides. The outer wall is closed in by Floyd | bricks, and iron gatework prevents entry to the courtyard between the Floyd | inner columns holding up the edge of the roof. Floyd | Floyd | The colonnade leads east and west over crooked slate tiles. Floyd | Floyd | Two square brick columns border the entryway, each topped with a Floyd | wrought-iron gaslight cage, taking up area about the size of a phone Floyd | booth on each side and spaced far enough apart that a double-hitched Floyd | carriage could be driven through into the courtyard. Floyd | Floyd | The gate leading back outside to your van stands to the south. Floyd | Floyd | The huge, wrought-iron gates that would lead north into the courtyard Floyd | are overgrown by vines the size of a man's arm, which have lifted them Floyd | crooked slightly off their hinges. Floyd | Floyd | A folksy, jigsawed sign points east, which is to your right. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach clicky clicks | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "So wait. We have even less reason to be here now." | |||
| Doug says, "(belated) aw, I was hoping the whole game would read like I7 source." | |||

| genericgeekgirl says, "Now I'm going to do that." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x sign" | |||
Floyd ] Peristyle Floyd | > Floyd | > X SIGN Floyd | Floyd | The sign is white letters on a blue background in a style you'd call Floyd | "theme park saloon". Most of the paint is flaking off. In defiance Floyd | of the elements, it still legibly reads House Tour Entrance. Floyd | Then there's a circle like a clock face, declaring Next Floyd | Tour... Floyd | It looks as if there used to be hands that could be set to indicate Floyd | tour times, but they're not anywhere to be seen. You guess that no Floyd | tours are scheduled today. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "But the code will be TADS :D" | ||
| Doug says, "extra points for making it a quine" | |||
| Doug says (to genericgeekgirl), "haha" | |||

Floyd ] Pergola Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Pergola Floyd | The colonnade here turns a corner to the left under a stone pergola Floyd | with domed roof held up by columns. From here, through the bars to Floyd | the northwest, the manor is framed from the front perfectly, Floyd | architecturally symmetrical on both sides if not for the uneven Floyd | pattern of vines climbing the walls. Floyd | Floyd | The front entrance to the property is west, and visitors entering the Floyd | tour would be shepherded into the stable building by low fences Floyd | through the dim archway to the north. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a domed roof here. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "So I guess we can't actually get our camera since opening the van equals quitting?" | ||
| genericgeekgirl asks, "Apparently?" | |||

Floyd ] Front Entrance Floyd | > Floyd | > X CAMERA Floyd | Floyd | It's a dazzling piece of equipment you acquired a month ago that takes Floyd | stunning digital photos without film. There is a screen which allows Floyd | you to REVIEW specific captured images instantly. Besides looking at Floyd | the screen, you've learned SHOOT (SOMETHING) and RECALL (SOMETHING) Floyd | are the most efficient, although sometimes you go old-school and Floyd | PHOTOGRAPH (SOMETHING). In a pinch, TAKE PICTURE OF (SOMETHING) will Floyd | do if you're not concerned about clumsy. Floyd | Floyd | The kids these days like to call a photographic image a PIC but Floyd | everyone likes to experiment. There is a compartment that holds a Floyd | rechargable battery. There is smart flash that only fires when it's Floyd | too dark for a picture (although you swear it eats the battery). And Floyd | finally, there is a handy strap so you can wear it around your neck. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Nice." | ||
