Floyd ] Squiggles 'N Dots, right now Floyd | FOR CUPCAKES Floyd | Squiggles 'N Dots Floyd | You pull on the front door to make sure it's locked, and then you make Floyd | your way over to your car. Floyd | Floyd | Working for Claire is fun, some of the time, but it's definitely not Floyd | where you thought you'd be at this point in your life. Floyd | Retail. Floyd | Floyd | And you're not sure how you feel about the place's whole aesthetic: Floyd | the hot pink bike rack, the preponderance of sock monkeys in the Floyd | window, that slogan on the sign above the entrance. Sometimes it seems Floyd | like a bit much. Still, it's better than no job at all. Floyd | Floyd | Bob lives on this side of town, maybe east or maybe south of here. Floyd | Floyd | You climb into your car and turn the ignition. Floyd | Floyd | > | ghostghostghost swears, just a little at the intro. | |

Floyd | Floyd | If you have any desire to contact me about this game, I would Floyd | encourage you to indulge that desire by hitting me up via email Floyd | (rcveeder@me.com) or via Twitter (@rcveeder). Floyd | Floyd | Thanks to my beta testers: Emily Boegheim, Toby Fox, Hamish, Jenni Floyd | Polodna, Fred Snyder, and I think also Zach. Floyd | Floyd | Some cupcake names were supplied by my brother Sean. Floyd | Floyd | Okay that's it. Have fun! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Squiggles 'N Dots, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > X MONKEYS Floyd | Floyd | Claire went on a sock monkey binge in September. When she got tired of Floyd | classic Rockford Red Heels she started making cheap tube sock monkeys, Floyd | argyle sock monkeys, and finally a rainbow sock monkey. Then she Floyd | realized she was running out of socks. Floyd | Floyd | A couple of them are wearing costumes—a witch's hat, a handkerchief Floyd | with eyeholes cut out—but it's hard to find accessories sized for Floyd | sock Floyd | monkeys.

Floyd | Floyd | This is where you and Bob used to work, up until about a year ago. A Floyd | year and two months. Floyd | Floyd | You seriously should head back west before anyone sees you.

Floyd ] Sugar,, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Sugar, Floyd | Is that sign finished? Shouldn't they have put up more words? Floyd | Floyd | But the place is clearly open for business, since there's a line out Floyd | the door. And the people walking out, the people who aren't carrying Floyd | boxes of various sizes, are eating cupcakes. Floyd | Floyd | Roads from the north, east, south, and west converge here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "exit" | ||
Floyd ] Sugar,, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > EXIT Floyd | Floyd | You could stop here and pick up a couple cupcakes to share with Bob, Floyd | but it looks like you'd be waiting in line for an hour first, which Floyd | isn't really an option. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

You and Bob ate Floyd | there all the time. It was fantastic. But then it got shut down, and Floyd | you and Bob got indicted, and now you work at a place called Squiggles Floyd | and Dots—Squiggles—and Bob is doing who knows what, and Floyd | there Floyd | are no tacos anymore. Floyd | Floyd | That cupcake place is north of here, so Bob's place must be either Floyd | east or west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Get Your Licks, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Get Your Licks Floyd | This is that cutesy ice cream place, with the lace curtains and the Floyd | snotty Egyptian girl running it. Or, she used to. You and Bob agreed Floyd | to boycott the place right before you lost your jobs, and if the lady Floyd | had up and left town at some point, you wouldn't know either way. Floyd | Floyd | The place seems to be doing pretty good business nonetheless. Floyd | Floyd | You remember the hospital is north from here, so Bob's place must be Floyd | over to the west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Abandoned Building, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Abandoned Building Floyd | There used to be this really great taqueria here. You and Bob ate Floyd | there all the time. It was fantastic. Floyd | Floyd | That cupcake place is north of here, and the ice cream parlor is east, Floyd | so Bob's place must be further west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Bob's, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Bob's Floyd | Oh, here we are! Floyd | Floyd | This is Bob's street, and there's Bob's house. And there in the Floyd | doorway, as though he's been creepily waiting there for a while, is Floyd | Bob, waving at you to come inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Bob's, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > EXIT Floyd | Floyd | You park on the street and pull yourself out of the car. Floyd | Floyd | > | ghostghostghost run away. | |

Floyd ] Bob's, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > BOB, STOP CREEPING Floyd | Floyd | It looks like he'd rather you came inside first. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "Eek" | |
| ghostghostghost says, "Hahahaha." | ||
| ghostghostghost says (to Floyd), "bob, hello" | ||
Floyd ] Bob's, right now Floyd | > Floyd | > BOB, HELLO Floyd | Floyd | It looks like he'd rather you came inside first. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "inside" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > INSIDE Floyd | Floyd | You ascend the steps to Bob's front door, and he hastily ushers you Floyd | inside. Floyd | Floyd | Get ready to Press Any Key To Continue a few times. | ||
| ghostghostghost says (to Floyd), "in" | ||
Floyd | Get ready to Press Any Key To Continue a few times.Bob indulges you in Floyd | a quick hug before he demands that you sit down. Floyd | Floyd | You lean across the coffee table toward him, hands clasped. "So, how Floyd | have you been?" Floyd | Floyd | He stares back at you, frustrated and helpless. Without his mustache, Floyd | he looks like a very weary teenager. Floyd | Floyd | "Rae, we know each other, right? We cracked skulls together, side by Floyd | side, for how many years. We don't need to go through this nicey-nice Floyd | 'how's your folks' stuff." Floyd | Floyd | You roll your eyes and lean back. "Sheesh, Bob, I just wanted to know Floyd | whether you're miserable or not. Sorry I had to be so polite about Floyd | it." | ghostghostghost says, "Oh. So we *are* the cops. Ok." | |
| ghostghostghost asks, "Have you played Taco Fiction?" | ||
| Zach says, "Yeah" | ||
| ghostghostghost says, "This is kind of a sequel." | ||
| Olly says, "We aren't the cops anymore." | ||
| Zach says, "Ah" | ||
| Zach says, "Right, Bob had to turn in his gun, badge, and mustache." | ||
| ghostghostghost says (to Olly), "Yeah, that." | ||
| ghostghostghost says (to Floyd), "Bob, tell me about misery" | ||
Floyd | it.""I forgive you. I have in fact been pretty miserable, actually, Floyd | and I'm gonna tell you all about it. You notice that I'm not asking Floyd | you in return how you've been doing, because I wanna keep this quick, Floyd | and furthermore I know all about how you've been doing—and the Floyd | reason Floyd | for that, is, tied in with the other stuff I'm gonna tell you. Floyd | Floyd | "And I'm gonna tell the story in order, so you'll have to wait until I Floyd | get to that part. The first thing you gotta know is that I've been Floyd | working security up at Sugar Comma." | ghostghostghost says, "That was entirely coincidental :)" | |
| ghostghostghost pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd | working security up at Sugar Comma.""What's that?" | ||
| ghostghostghost pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd | working security up at Sugar Comma.""What's that?""Rae. Are you gonna Floyd | interrupt me all the way through this story." | ||
| ghostghostghost pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd | interrupt me all the way through this story.""I don't know what Sugar
Floyd | Comma is! I can't understand the story if I don't have the basic
Floyd | context!"
Floyd |
Floyd | Bob wrinkles his nose. "Fair enough. All right, so Sugar Comma is this
Floyd | cupcake place that just—"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Oh! And the sign just says 'Sugar' with a comma—"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Yes! See, you do have the basic context! Can I tell my story
Floyd | now? The story that is the reason that I asked you to come here in the
Floyd | first place?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Yeah, yeah, sorry. Go ahead."

Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago
Floyd | "Yeah, yeah, sorry. Go ahead.""Thank you."## Security Office
Floyd | So like I said, I'm a security guard, which is the closest thing to
Floyd | being a cop that they'll let me do anymore. But I've got an office.
Floyd |
Floyd | The office is basically a broom closet. If it were any smaller I'd
Floyd | have to stand at my desk. Out the door to the east is the hallway. The
Floyd | door opens in, which I'm pretty sure is a fire hazard.
Floyd |
Floyd | Anyway I was standing around in my office.

Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | The uniform that the security company gave me is clearly supposed to Floyd | be a tan version of a real police uniform, but it's different in all Floyd | these irritating little ways. I don't want to get into it. I don't Floyd | carry a gun, that's the main thing. I'm not gonna get into it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago Floyd | > Floyd | > X DESK Floyd | Floyd | The desk is where all the important security stuff is, i.e., the Floyd | display with the feeds from the cameras, and the hard drive that holds Floyd | all the footage, and the TI-85 that I play Tetris on while I'm waiting Floyd | for something to happen. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago Floyd | > Floyd | > X DISPLAY Floyd | Floyd | There's four feeds, and they're in backwards order for no good reason. Floyd | Camera One is the alley behind the building; Camera Two is the counter Floyd | where people order cupcakes; Camera Three is the boss's office, which, Floyd | creepy; and Camera Four is the sidewalk out front. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x camera one" | ||
Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago Floyd | > Floyd | > X CAMERA ONE Floyd | Floyd | On Camera One's feed there were a couple of high school kids hanging Floyd | around in the alley. Loitering! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| ghostghostghost says (to Floyd), "x camera three" | ||
Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago Floyd | > Floyd | > X CAMERA THREE Floyd | Floyd | The angle on Camera Three doesn't show you the boss's desk, just the Floyd | space in front of the desk and the door. So it's impossible to tell Floyd | whether the boss is at his desk or not. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| ghostghostghost says (to Floyd), "x camera four" | ||
Floyd ] Security Office, a few days ago Floyd | > Floyd | > X CAMERA FOUR Floyd | Floyd | On Camera Four I saw there was a card table set up out in front of the Floyd | shop. I hadn't heard anything from the boss about something going on Floyd | out in front of the shop, so I figured it was probably Mormons or Floyd | similar, trying to convert the customers. Floyd | Floyd | > | Olly says, "Let's go bust the kids for loitering." | |
