The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each
week at a pre-arranged time, a group of
people meet online to cooperatively play
a game of interactive fiction.
ANOTHER WARNING! A lot (most!) of the transcripts contained on this site are, shall we say, family-friendly. This is not one of those family-friendly transcripts. Just so we're clear.

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Sleeping quarters Floyd | You are in the sleeping quarters. This room is very white and very Floyd | clean. Your space bunk is here. Floyd | Floyd | THE EMERGENCY SIREN BLARES! Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "how confusing" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, do we need a refresher on what's happened thus far, or will that be revealed? I've slept almost 365 times since the last game." | ||
| Roger asks, "Oh is this part of a series?" | ||
| Taleslinger says (to jacqueline), "It will come up in game" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "The eternal series, judging by the title. But maybe I'm wrong." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Sleeping quarters Floyd ] Exits: NORTH Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are Xonathan Xask, janitor 3rd class on Space Station Ollster III Floyd | in the year 2578.

| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get up" | ||
Floyd ] Sleeping quarters Floyd ] Exits: NORTH Floyd | Floyd | > GET UP Floyd | Floyd | But you aren't in anything at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "finally, a real hero for our story!" | |

The future is Floyd | awesome. The corridor ends to the northeast at a door marked in Floyd | Chinese, and continues to the southwest. There is a huge window here, Floyd | looking out on Mercury. Floyd | Floyd | THE EMERGENCY SIREN BLARES! Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh, wait. Sorry. I shouldn't have moved without concurrence." | |
| Ellison says, "I'm 100% positive this character will totally survive this prologue" | ||

| Taleslinger covers his eyes with an extra set of hands. | ||
| Ellison says, "don't eat Mercury! it's poisonous!" | ||

The corridor continues to the north, Floyd | but the pulsing red light and the annoying WOOP-WOOP make it pretty Floyd | clear that the emergency is here. Floyd | Floyd | THE EMERGENCY SIREN BLARES! Floyd | Floyd | The emergency door release button is glowing blue. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Plasteel. Nice." | |

Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "noooo we need a hazmat suit first or something" | |

Floyd | > PUSH BUTTON
Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly, there is a *woosh* and a portal opens beside you!
Floyd | Out of it steps a man in a golden, faux-leather t-shirt and skintight
Floyd | black jeans. He looks rather scared and nervous as he raises a plasma
Floyd | gatling at you with shaking hands. (He might not be nervous, you
| Jacqueline high five's Roger. | |
Floyd | reflect. These things are quite heavy.) Floyd | "Don't push the button!" he shrieks. Floyd | "But they are dying! I have to save them!" Floyd | "No, if you help them you will doom humanity. You will doom my Floyd | husband!" Floyd | You blink at him, uncomprehendingly. Floyd | "This seems like the kind of thing" the man says, calming down a Floyd | little, "that can only be explained by a lengthy flashback!" Floyd | And you know what? You think he's right. Floyd | Floyd | The day I shot Alex Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Marius Müller Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 170102 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | This is the perfect party! Floyd | All your condiments where ready on time. Jeffrey took care of the Floyd | playlist and it's amazing. You managed to invite everyone you wanted, Floyd | and had to invite only very few people you didn't want to. Of course Floyd | Randall from your Clinical Psych class came dressed as Muagbe, for Floyd | some reason. And earlier you saw someone dressed as some sort of Floyd | three-eyed alien. Nevermind. Once Alex arrives, he'll figure it out. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "Oh, well then." | |
| Ellison says, "whoa" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "This is the recap I was promised." | ||
| Ellison says, "I thought Xonathan was done for as soon as I read 'gatling'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Tale has subtly woven this backstory into the game." | ||

I must have never left last week" | |
| Ellison says, "well done on the character hopping. my, how this series has grown up before our eyes." | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of Tale), "Did you mean Mugabe? Or am I just missing the Muagbe reference?" | ||

| Jacqueline asks, "Do we want to walk into that, knowingly?" | ||

This wasn't necessary for the southern wall, wich is quite high, Floyd | because it borders on a golf course (You find the occasional golf ball Floyd | in the pool nonetheless.) Floyd | Floyd | Some rocks lie around here. They look perfect. Floyd | Floyd | A small flock of people is lying around in the deck-chairs, most of Floyd | them still dressed, waving drinks and mumbling to each other in the Floyd | perfect afternoon glow.

Floyd | The alien looks at you humourlessly, or maybe you're just bad at Floyd | reading alien faces. "You are as far from your house as you can Floyd | possibly be, kitten." You look at the small blue container, shaped, it Floyd | seems, like an oversized tampon. The alien points at it with a Floyd | three-fingered hand. "That's the last destronium in existence.

Floyd | Floyd | Later, as they carry young, dorky Doctor Ross out on a stretcher, you Floyd | look at that young, kind face. To imagine she would turn into that Floyd | foul creature who hunted you and Alex for so long. Floyd | Floyd | And then there's Alex himself who turned evil enough to send two Floyd | versions of himself here, to keep you from stopping the creation of Floyd | the Queen of Hurts and Maladies.

Floyd | Floyd | Outside the General Store Floyd | Virtually the only place Dolores, and hence you, visit in Sweetwater is Floyd | the general store. It's, well, it's pretty general.

| Peregrine says (to Floyd), "kick" | ||
Floyd | >(the fat human) Floyd | To pull that off you'd need to be a lot more flexible than even you Floyd | are. Floyd | Floyd | The human starts kicking you in the ribs and shouting "Yaa! Yeehaw!

Floyd | Floyd | You canter away at the most tooth-rattling, groin-crushing pace you can Floyd | manage. The fat human astride you alternates trying to get you to Floyd | speed up to a gallop or to slow down to a walk for about a mile or two Floyd | before giving up. You have free rein, perhaps under the notion that of Floyd | course you'd be a self-driving horse. Floyd | Floyd | You head off into the hills and into some terrain that most humans find Floyd | picturesque. Your rider seems happy enough with that, being content to Floyd | on occasion laugh, babble, cry, smoke, vomit, weep more, shake its fist Floyd | at the sky, and other quaint human pre-occupations. Floyd | Floyd | Eventually the day turns to dusk, and you can't let the human just Floyd | freeze to death out here, so you head off towards a camp narrative that Floyd | you're aware of.

| Peregrine says (to Floyd), "d" | ||
Floyd | >You wander up a nearby hill. It's getting pretty dark, but your Floyd | eyesight is far superior to the average mammal. Floyd | Floyd | Atop a Hill Floyd | The view from here is spectacular, even for a robot with your jaded Floyd | tastes. A lone tree is silhouetted against the darkening sky. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a woodcutter here. Floyd | | Peregrine exclaims, "!!!!!" | |

Floyd | >He stands upon the very edge of a precipice, his right arm extended to Floyd | the heavens. He is completely motionless. A slightly twinkling in the Floyd | motes over him indicate... something. He's shining a laser up there? Floyd | You follow the trajectory and spot a star that shouldn't be there, Floyd | moving slowly (but not slowly for a star.) He's broadcasting to a Floyd | satellite, apparently. That can't be an approved activity; no wonder Floyd | his mates down at the camp got stuck. Floyd | | Peregrine exclaims, "Espionage!" | |
| Peregrine says (to Floyd), "kick woodcutter" | ||
Floyd | >He doesn't notice you at all, so it's easy to give him a little kick. Floyd | He loses his footing and tumbles into the crevasse below; you get a Floyd | laser in the eye for your troubles. It doesn't damage you, though. Floyd | | Peregrine says, "Ooops." | |

Floyd | Floyd | In the morning, you run back to your stables and let yourself in. Floyd | Dolores won't remember anything was ever amiss, of course. Floyd | Floyd | Later, you hear through the grapevine that some poor robot went crazy Floyd | and threw himself down a crevasse, then smashed his own head in. Floyd | That's a shame. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** The End *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? | Peregrine says, "I am now passably puzzled." | |
| Roger says, "It may make more sense if you're more familiar with Westworld" | ||
| Roger says, "But it might not" | ||
| Peregrine asks, "Why did we murder that woodcutter guy?" | ||
| Peregrine asks, "Is this really the only ending?" | ||

| Peregrine exclaims, "Okay, so time for goodnight. Seeya!" | ||
| Peregrine exclaims, "And thanks!" | ||
| Peregrine hops into the DeLorean and heads off to the future. | Ellison says, "sorry, I missed partaking in the gameplay since I had to help my grandmother with something, but, yeah, interesting approach to give the animals so much awareness and I liked the woodcutter story approach" | |
| Roger says, "Thanks" | ||
| Ellison says, "was it possible to leave without Delores getting shot? it seemed Peregrine wasn't trying any traveling verbs" | ||

Floyd | The Horste
Floyd | An Interactive Fanfic by Roger Carbol
Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 170101 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib
Floyd | 6/12N)
Floyd |
Floyd | Stables (in the stall)
Floyd | This large building, which despite what the all the city-slickers seem
Floyd | to think is not a barn, is where you and the other horses, donkeys,
Floyd | mules, and so forth, hang out when you're not on stage. It's pretty
Floyd | charming as far as stables go.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the stall you can see Francis.
Floyd |
| ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "talk to francis" | ||
Floyd | >"You must take after your father, Francis, because you sure are an Floyd | ass," you reply. Floyd | Floyd | It's what you both say every morning. The routine gives you some Floyd | comfort. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "talk to francis" | ||
Floyd | >"You must take after your father, Francis, because you sure are an Floyd | ass," you reply. Floyd | Floyd | It's what you both say every morning. The routine gives you some Floyd | comfort. Floyd | Floyd | Francis' eyes flicker open. "Good morning, Alba," he says to you. Floyd | "Did you not sleep well? Why... why the long face?" He snickers at Floyd | his own joke. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "ask francis about delores" | ||
Floyd | >"You must take after your father, Francis, because you sure are an Floyd | ass," you reply. Floyd | Floyd | It's what you both say every morning. The routine gives you some Floyd | comfort. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | >You can't get out of the closed stall. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "open stall" | ||
Floyd | >You don't possess the anatomy to open the stall. Yes, you could Floyd | probably unlatch it with your tongue or leap over the gate, but that Floyd | would only distress Dolores for no good reason. Be patient; she'll be Floyd | along shortly. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "x stall" | ||
Floyd | >It's not much, but it's home. Floyd | Floyd | In the stall is Francis. Floyd | Floyd | The stable doors open and you can see it's Dolores, right on time. Floyd | Wearing that same damn blue dress she always wears. Your respect for Floyd | the park's laundry and costuming department knows no bounds. Floyd | | Roger says, "oops" | |
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "nuzzle delores" | ||
Floyd | >That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "kiss delores" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | >Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | Dolores walks up to your stall and opens it. "Good morning, Trigger," Floyd | she says. "Time to get ourselves to Sweetwater." Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "kiss delores" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | >You get out of the stall. Floyd | Floyd | Stables Floyd | This large building, which despite what the all the city-slickers seem Floyd | to think is not a barn, is where you and the other horses, donkeys, Floyd | mules, and so forth, hang out when you're not on stage. It's pretty Floyd | charming as far as stables go. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Dolores and your stall (in which is Francis) here. Floyd | Floyd | Francis snickers again. "Have fun in Sweetwater, "Trigger"," he says. Floyd | Floyd | You roll your eyes. "Easy with the slave names there, "Buttercup". Floyd | That shuts him up. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "kick francis" | ||
Floyd | >It makes you feel a bit better, but that's all. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "kiss delores" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "hug delores" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | Roger says, "Some scoping weirdnesses here" | |
| Ellison says, "(just trying to find some horse-equivalent way of happily greeting Delores)" | ||
| Roger says, "(it's Dolores)" | ||
| Ellison says, "ah, right" | ||
| Roger says, "She's not a Delorean" | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "kiss dolores" | ||
Floyd | >Dolores might not like that. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "hug dolores" | ||
Floyd | >Dolores might not like that. Floyd | | Roger says, "I guess I should have implemented that" | |
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "talk to dolores" | ||
Floyd | >One of her many shortcomings is that she does not speak Equine. Floyd | | Ellison says, "nah, not worth the trouble" | |
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | >Dolores mounts up and it's an uneventful trot over to Sweetwater. Floyd | Floyd | You reach the train tracks, dutifully-looking both ways before Floyd | crossing. You don't need to turn your head to do this. Floyd | Floyd | Dolores rides you over to the General Store and ties you up while she Floyd | goes inside. Floyd | Floyd | Outside the General Store Floyd | Virtually the only place Dolores, and hence you, visit in Sweetwater is Floyd | the general store. It's, well, it's pretty general. It's still early Floyd | enough that the sun hasn't really started to beat down yet, but you Floyd | know it will. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "x store" | Roger says, "You know what speedif is like. Took me four hours just to get this far." | |
Floyd | >Just the place to shop for toothbrushes, hair pomade, condensed milk, Floyd | fatback, fattack, tackback, fatfat, and whatever other things humans Floyd | need to feel human. Floyd | Floyd | One of the fattest humans you've ever seen staggers down the street Floyd | towards you. It must be drunk of its face -- maybe it was drinking all Floyd | night? You start to have a bad feeling about today. Floyd | | Ellison says, "yeah, and scripting is very intimidating (at least for me)" | |
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "think" | ||
Floyd | >What a good idea. Floyd | Floyd | Your worst fears are confirmed as the guest manages to get a foot into Floyd | a stirrup and haul its enormous bulk onto your back. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd | >You'd love to get out of here, but you happen to still be tied up. Floyd | Floyd | The human starts kicking you in the ribs and shouting "Yaa! Yeehaw! Floyd | Giddyup!" and then later "Horse! Commence locomotion! Begin! Start! Floyd | Resume all motor functions!" It doesn't stop kicking you throughout, Floyd | but at least it is weak and didn't even have the sense to wear spurs. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "untie me" | ||
Floyd | >Despite your best efforts, you still do not have digits. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "x post" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd | >You'd love to get out of here, but you happen to still be tied up. Floyd | Floyd | The human stops and you have the sense it may have noticed that you are Floyd | still tied up. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | >Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | With enormous effort, your rider dismounts in the least graceful way Floyd | possible and ends up flat on its back. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | >Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The human tries to undo the reins with its fat stumpy fingers, but Floyd | cannot manage it. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "bite reins" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | >Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The human pulls out a knife and with a vicious slash severs the reins Floyd | entirely. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd | >You seize your opportunity and gallop off. "Hey! Horse!" you hear Floyd | someone yelling behind you. A moment later, you hear a more-feminine Floyd | voice yell "Hey, my horse!" Floyd | Floyd | You should probably just go back to the ranch. And you will, Floyd | eventually. But now you've got a day to do whatever you please, and Floyd | you intend on taking advantage of it. Floyd | Floyd | Eventually the day turns to dusk, and you don't want to break a leg out Floyd | here, so you head off towards a camp narrative that you're aware of. Floyd | Floyd | Camp Floyd | Some cattle-driving robots have set up camp here. They seem to be Floyd | arguing about something. Floyd | Floyd | You can see some robots here. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "x robots" | ||
Floyd | >They seem to be stuck in a loop for some reason; they can't proceed Floyd | until they eat, but they can't eat without a fire, but they can't make Floyd | a fire without some chopped firewood, and the woodcutter seems to have Floyd | wandered off somewhere. Floyd | | ||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "x fire" | ||

| BrianK goes home. | Roger says, "Yep that's pretty much everything" | |
| Ellison says, "anyhow, I like the idea of them being slightly more aware as that makes narrative sense (in terms of them taking people to different narratives and such). not sure I love how far in that direction you've gone, but I'm happy to see Westworld fanfic just the same... and being responsible for the woodcutter being in the crevasse was a cute touch." | ||
| Ellison says, "thanks for writing it!" | ||
| Roger says, "Thanks for playing! It was a fun thing to write." | ||
| Roger says, "So that makes my last two works both fanfic. Uh oh." | ||
| Roger says, "I guess I could expand it so that this horste fills all the plotholes from the entire season" | ||
