| DavidW says, "One of the games I haven't played is the ADRIFT one; I need to download a new terp for it, and I bet Floyd doesn't have it either. And one of the other games is, I believe, rather non-standard play for IF." | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "So, have a preference on what you want to watch?" | ||
| DavidW says, "hm. Chlorophyll, perhaps, since I'm sure there's an alternate route for one puzzle that I didn't do." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "mmkay" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask chlorophyll" | ||
Floyd ] The Backseat Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You've never seen the sky so dark before. Even when you passed Floyd | through the void between solar systems on the way here, you had the Floyd | ship itself, an island of constant light and warmth. Now there's Floyd | just...darkness. Not much to look at except a barren field of rocks, Floyd | a black sky filled with tiny white pinpricks, a couple of dim Floyd | moonlets--and the dashboard lights of the Planet Roller. Floyd | Floyd | It's gorgeous, in a harsh, alien sort of way. You could never see a Floyd | sky like this back on Xylla, but this system only has one sun, and Floyd | it's a pretty weak sun, too. What little light you're getting from Floyd | the moons isn't even enough to keep your skin from crawling with a Floyd | hungry feeling. Floyd | Floyd | You really need a new solar vest, a grown-up one like you've asked Floyd | your mom for repeatedly, not that she ever pays attention. She's too Floyd | focused on the project. And all your friends think it must be so cool Floyd | to have an astroscientist for a mom. But who cares what they think? Floyd | You're probably never going to see them again anyway. Floyd | Floyd | Chlorophyll Floyd | A Sci-Fi Puzzle Adventure by Steph Cherrywell Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 150212 / Inform 7 build 6L02 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | The Backseat Floyd | You're sitting in the backseat of a secondhand Planet Roller. Floyd | Outside, the scenery of T-848 passes by in a half-seen blur of the Floyd | upper halves of rock formations and occasional copses of withered Floyd | saplings. Floyd | Floyd | Your mother is in the front seat, chattering away. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "listen to mother" | ||
Floyd ] The Backseat Floyd | > Floyd | > LISTEN TO MOTHER Floyd | Floyd | Usually you tune her out, but you're just that bored. Floyd | Floyd | "Not too long now!" your mother says. "Olobo station is right over Floyd | this next ridge. I think. All these little canyons look alike." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] The Backseat Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You look like a pretty average girl your age; maybe a little shorter Floyd | and skinnier than usual, but not enough so that you stand out. Floyd | You're in an awkward stage of metamorphosis where your skin is half Floyd | covered with embarrassing blotches of bright green that make you look Floyd | like you're still a little kid and half covered in stiff, sore patches Floyd | where it's hardening into adult bark-plates that itch like crazy. Floyd | Plus your leaves are coming in all different sizes, and growing so Floyd | fast they get in your eyes. You're wearing an Acorn Junior Solar Vest Floyd | that you're way too old for. Floyd | Floyd | "It's a shame about these trees, isn't it?" she continues. "Imagine Floyd | how lovely it must have been when the orbital adjusters worked, Floyd | everything green and growing, just like home. Once we get there, Floyd | that's the first thing I'm going to fix." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] The Backseat Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | an Acorn Junior Solar Vest (being worn) Floyd | Floyd | Your mother gasps as the Planet Roller scrapes against the side of the Floyd | canyon with an ugly jolt. "Scratch that, first thing I'm going to do Floyd | is get all that junk off of the landing pad. I don't want to have to Floyd | make this drive more than once." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "x mother" | ||
Floyd ] The Backseat Floyd | > Floyd | > X MOTHER Floyd | Floyd | She's a lovely shade of jade green, with a cascade of lush foliage Floyd | tumbling down her back. She looks really cool and professional in her Floyd | yellow-black ObCorp uniform, too. Floyd | Floyd | "Listen, Zo... I know you're not happy to be here. I know it's tough Floyd | where there's nobody your own age. But once the adjusters are back Floyd | online and this side of the planet faces the sun again, all the Floyd | farmers and workers and everybody can come back. There'll be lots of Floyd | other kids. You just have to be a little patient. And in the Floyd | meantime, you can explore the whole station on your own!" Floyd | Floyd | > | JoshuaH says, "I see someone got Guided By Voices's "I am a Tree" for their ShuffleComp entry. Wait..." | |
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "x roller" | ||
Floyd ] The Backseat Floyd | > Floyd | > X ROLLER Floyd | Floyd | A shed-sized vehicle with thick, bouncy tires, it's used for overland Floyd | planet transport. It's jostling you up and down so much your sap's Floyd | going to start fizzing soon. Floyd | Floyd | The Planet Roller crests a ridge, and for a moment you see a glimpse Floyd | of the station over the rocks, lying there like a big gray dead beetle Floyd | that's curled up on its back. "There it is!" you mother cries, way Floyd | too excited at the prospect of living in a dead bug. "Oops, there it Floyd | goes. We'll see it again in a minute." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "heh" | |
| DavidW says, "I love the writing and premise." | ||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "look outside" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK OUTSIDE Floyd | Floyd | You see nothing unexpected in that direction. Floyd | Floyd | Something on the dashboard begins chiming insistently. "That's odd. Floyd | Why's our energy so low? I made sure we recharged at the ship..." Floyd | Floyd | The Roller slides to a halt, the lights in the cabin flickering and Floyd | dying. Your mother jams her thumb down on the starter repeatedly, Floyd | but nothing happens. Floyd | Floyd | "Okay. This is bad. Everything just...just went dead." Looking down Floyd | at the dim lights on her uniform, she bites her lip. Floyd | Floyd | You can feel your own solar vest fading, and with it, the constant Floyd | stream of energy you need to stay awake. Torpor threatens to swallow Floyd | you. It would be so relaxing to just curl up on the seat and sink Floyd | into the darkness... | Jacqueline says, "Yeah, the writing is quite good." | |
| Gerynar pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd | into the darkness...Stop! This isn't like torpor at home, where there Floyd | are people to check up on you. If you drift off now, you'll be lying Floyd | here forever! With numb fingers, you fumble at the restraints until Floyd | you hear them pop open., and force yourself to your feet. Floyd | Floyd | Your mother is hopeless, in deep, deep torpor already. Adults run out Floyd | of energy faster than kids, you remember, something about squares and Floyd | cubes and...surfaces...and whatever! She's not going to wake up Floyd | without the sun, and the sun's never going to come out on this side of Floyd | the planet. Your only hope now is to get to the station. | DavidW says, "push space again" | |
| Gerynar would like to point out that he has had very bad luck with plants in the past | ||
| Gerynar pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd ] Sunlock Floyd | the planet. Your only hope now is to get to the station.You stumble Floyd | along the road on feet that feel like fifty-pound bags of ice. You Floyd | fall two or three times, not really feeling it, but you get up and Floyd | force yourself onward. Then, amazingly, you feel your fingers curling Floyd | around a cold metal handle, and as you put your weight on it, you fall Floyd | forward into the most delicious light you've ever tasted. Floyd | Floyd | The outer door slams shut behind you. Floyd | Floyd | Sunlock Floyd | This tiny cubicle is flooded with high-quality artificial sunlight, Floyd | giving it a pleasant golden color. Through the small window on the Floyd | bulkhead door to the south, you can see the planetoid's barren Floyd | surface. The abandoned Planet Roller sits at an odd angle halfway up Floyd | a ridge. Another heavy door is to the north, with another small Floyd | window revealing the dimly lit station interior. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a warning plaque here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

The polished tiles Floyd | gleam eerily in the dim moonlight trickling down from above. High Floyd | security bloom shutters block the shop to the west, but the ones to Floyd | the east were only lowered halfway, leaving it easily accessible. The Floyd | promenade continues to the north, and the sunlock leading to the Floyd | planet's surface is south. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Mum's voice is probably authorized, of course, but she's... in torpor." | |
| DavidW says, "I don't remember it saying 'keyword' like that." | ||
| Gerynar says, "And we probably can't carry her here, without going into topor ourself" | ||

Floyd ] Hedge Your Bets Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | You carefully duck under the shutter and enter the shop. Floyd | Floyd | Hedge Your Bets Floyd | This is an old-fashioned topiary salon, the kind where you remember Floyd | being plopped to play around with educational toys while your mother Floyd | got her leaves trimmed. There are no toys in this dim, deserted Floyd | shop, though. One whole wall is taken up by a large mirror. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a deactivated styling unit here. Floyd | Floyd | The ceiling speaker crackles into life, and a twangy voice says "Hi Floyd | there, this is Mola Sa, owner of Hedge Your Bets finely styled Floyd | topiary, and we are closed at the moment. For the freshest new Floyd | styles, I invite you to come back sometime when we've got our lights Floyd | on." Floyd | Floyd | She emphasizes the last two words rather testily, as if to add "you Floyd | little hooligan". Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Hedge Your Bets Floyd | > Floyd | > X STYLING UNIT Floyd | Floyd | It's one of those old-model styling units that you used to have to go Floyd | to when you were a baby, before the invention of horticultural Floyd | nanochambers. She hangs limply from her support tubes like a plump Floyd | marionette made of plastic and cellulose. She's warm to the touch, Floyd | and you can see liquid dribbling through the tubes, so she's obviously Floyd | still functional, just in standby mode. She's not likely to wake up Floyd | until the artificial sunlight comes back on. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

The floor seems Floyd | rougher on this end, and you have to step carefully in the dim light. Floyd | Heavy security shutters block the shop to the east. The bloom Floyd | shutters of the shop to the west are warped out of shape, as if Floyd | something ripped them nearly out of their housing. You can easily Floyd | slip through the large hole and enter the darkened shop.

Many of the toys have been activated by your Floyd | presence, and are emitting little burbles and farts to get your Floyd | attention. You can leave to the east by climbing back through the Floyd | torn shutters. Floyd | Floyd | A Talkity Tota is nibbling at your legs with her squishy gums. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
