#ClubFloyd Discussion

| DavidW says, "Last week, I suggested that we might choose a game from IF Comp 2013 that I hadn't played yet. I have three contenders:" | ||
| DavidW says, "9Lives; A Wind Blow from Paradise; and The Cardew House. None of these ranked highly, though." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "aw" | ||
| DavidW says, "er a Wind Blown from Paradise" | ||
| DavidW says, "We could try one of those unless someone has another suggestion." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I don't." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Not as such." | ||
| DavidW says, "Looks like none of the three are on Floyd yet, so I'll have to upload our choice." | ||
| DavidW says, "I'll upload A Wind Blown from Paradise, I guess." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "cool" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Okay." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask windblown" | ||
Floyd ] There is a slight breeze Now Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | A wind flees from the tunnel, pursued by the cacophonous clacking of Floyd | train cars. Like an old and jerky moving film, the quick flash of Floyd | passing lights reveal by frame the drab coats, grey scarves, hats, Floyd | overcoats and pea coats that are the medium through which you move, Floyd | until the world again withdraws back into the dusty light of lamps Floyd | hung below the arched ceiling as the train passes back into the Floyd | tunnel, followed by the same wind it pushes before it,wind chasing Floyd | wind and lit riding-cars between. Floyd | Floyd | Type "help" if this is your first time with A Wind Blown from Floyd | Paradise. Floyd | Floyd | A Wind Blown from Paradise Floyd | A Brief and Breezy Fiction by N.C. Hunter Hayden Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 130928 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Station Floyd | Buried here beneath the arched stone ceiling a multitude of travelers Floyd | in drab, grey coats flow past and around as much as the wind blown by Floyd | and chasing the trains in endless pursuit through the tunnels. A Floyd | poster, by an unused bench, presents memories of the paradise you once Floyd | knew. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon asks, "is this loading very slowly?" | |
| DavidW says, "seems normal speed to me." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "huh" | ||

Floyd ] What IS this? Floyd | This is not as much of a story as merely a moment. There isn't a plot Floyd | per se; the character is stuck in dwelling in the past, obsessed with Floyd | his quest to return to that one perfect moment. Obviously, he cannot, Floyd | as time does not move backwards. And, if you live in the past, you Floyd | are not living in the present, and if you are not alive right now, Floyd | then you are dead right now. Floyd | Floyd | The wind imagery throughout is intended to reference wandering Floyd | spirits, restless dead who roam in darkness for the life they once Floyd | had. What I wished to express when I first wrote the static fiction Floyd | version of this story is that we can become the "living" dead, going Floyd | to work, shopping at the grocery, standing in line at the DMV, dead Floyd | men because we have forsaken living in the present given to us for the Floyd | impossible quest of reclaiming the already-dissolved past.

You look Floyd | around slowly, seeing nothing at first, then in the moon light you Floyd | find yourself in the middle of a pumpkin patch. Looking down at your Floyd | feet you see straw coming out of the bottom of your pants and fallling Floyd | over your boots. In wonderment you notice your hands for the first Floyd | time and see straw coming out of your sleeves as well. As you stare Floyd | at your hands you notice a strange glow seemingly coming from within Floyd | you. You start to run your fingers through your hair only to realize Floyd | you have none. As you stand there in shock over what you've become Floyd | you realize you have nothing but vague memories of a time before the Floyd | pumpkin patch. You look around and see large pumpkins that seem to Floyd | have the same shape as your head. It all comes flooding back to Floyd | you.....you are Jack....Jack Halloween.

Floyd | You are standing in the middle of a dirt road to the south of a large
Floyd | field of pumpkins. The road stretches on the the east and west.
Floyd |
Floyd | Looking up the road, you see a set of headlights headed in your
Floyd | direction. Something screams in your very soul that you need to hide,
Floyd | you don't think it would be wise to be caught in the open in your
Floyd | state.

| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "wait" | ||
Floyd | >Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The car drives slowly down the road just feet from where you are lying Floyd | down. Two boys hang out the side window with shotguns at the ready. Floyd | Floyd | You hear one of them say "I swear I saw something standing around here Floyd | somewhere." Floyd | Floyd | "You just had too much beer before we left Joe, you're so drunk you Floyd | wouldn't notice old Jack standing right next to you.", someone yelled Floyd | from inside the car. Floyd | Floyd | The car slides a bit further down the road, turns around and then Floyd | heads back the way it came. Floyd | Floyd | As the car flies back up the road one of it's hubcaps comes off and Floyd | lands in the ditch just ahead of you. You reach over and pick it up. Floyd | | ||

Floyd | The Edge of Town
Floyd | As you come up on the edge of town, you see some movement ahead. You
Floyd | crouch in the shadows not wanting to be seen. Soon you see the
Floyd | movement again and you can just make out someone patrolling back and
Floyd | forth across the road. There is no way to get around him without
Floyd | being seen. Perhaps you could distract him somehow.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a young man here.
Floyd |

| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x man" | ||

Floyd | >The machete looks dangerous enough that I don't want to attract his Floyd | attention and find out how dangerous it truly is. Floyd | | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x rifle" | ||
Floyd | >A .270 Winchester rifle. Powerful enough to spread the pumpkin seeds Floyd | in your head all over the road. Floyd | | Teaspoon asks, "decapitate him with a hubcap?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Maybe not decapitate, but yeah." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "throw hubcap" | ||
Floyd | >You stand up quickly and your movement draws the attention of the Floyd | young man. You quickly throw the hubcap in his direction. The hubcap Floyd | flies quickly through the dark night and before he can even react, it Floyd | strikes him square across his forehead immediately dropping him to the Floyd | ground. Floyd | | ||

Floyd | >That is embedded in his skull....I don't think you want to take that. Floyd | | Teaspoon says, "I don't see why not, game." | |
| Teaspoon says, "Given what you had us do with it..." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "That's a bit more than a *distraction*." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I am alarmed that we are a pumpkin that knows what a .270 Winchester is." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I sure don't." | ||

Your body, Floyd | made mostly of straw flys apart scattering straw everywhere. The last Floyd | thing you remember before the light dims from your eyes is your large Floyd | pumpkin head bouncing off the windshield and onto the road only Floyd | shatter into thousands of pieces. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** Thus ends this halloween.....the town wins again and poor Jack Floyd | Halloween waits another year for his revenge upon the town *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? | Knight_Otu says, "Uh..." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "undo" | ||
Floyd | > Road Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "undo" | ||
Floyd | >Road Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "undo" | ||
Floyd | >The Edge of Town Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd | >As you enter the town's center you hear a gunshot ring out. The Floyd | whistle of the slug as it passes near your head and the dust kicking Floyd | up a few feet behind you are enough to send you scrambling to hide Floyd | behind the fountain. Floyd | Floyd | The Town Square Floyd | You are hiding behind the fountain in the town square. You can head Floyd | back out of town to the west. There is an old church to the north and Floyd | the townhall building is on the south side of the square. Floyd | Floyd | There is a shooter somewhere in the square. Floyd | | Teaspoon says, "I don't feel very much desire to take revenge on this town, actually." | |
| Teaspoon says, "do we need to grind hubcaps? I sure how e don't have to grind hubcaps." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "hope, I meant." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Well, this is looking to be a bloody game, yes." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x shooter" | ||
Floyd | >The shooter is too far away to get a good look at in this poor Floyd | lighting, but you can see that he has his rifle trained in your Floyd | direction. Floyd | Floyd | Another gunshot rings through the square and you hear the slug skip Floyd | off the edge of the fountain just to the left of where you are hiding. Floyd | This time however, you did see the flash of the shot. The shooter is Floyd | hiding in the clock tower in the townhall on the south side of the Floyd | square. Floyd | | Teaspoon says, "how does this info help us." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "We may be able to shoot back, now." | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "Should we have taken that guy's gun? The one who we killed?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd | >You are carrying: Floyd | a machete Floyd | a rifle Floyd | | Teaspoon says, "Oh, okay." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "shoot shooter" | ||
Floyd | >You take quick aim in the direction of the clock tower and pull the Floyd | trigger. When the flash from the shot clears, you see the shooter Floyd | slumping over the edge of the clocktower. Floyd | | ||
| Taleslinger arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | Teaspoon says, "Guess that worked." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd | >The Town Square Floyd | You are standing in the center of town. You can head back out of town Floyd | to the west. There is an old church to the north and the townhall Floyd | building is on the south side of the square. In the center of the Floyd | square is a fountain. Floyd | Floyd | The dead shooter is slumped over the side of the clock tower. Floyd | | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x shooter" | ||
Floyd | >The shooter is too far away to get a good look at in this poor Floyd | lighting, but you can see that he is slumped over the edge of the Floyd | clock tower dead. Floyd | | ||
| Taleslinger disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. | Teaspoon asks, "Which direction?" | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x fountain" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | Knight_Otu asks, "I guess south?" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd | >You can't go that way. Floyd | | Teaspoon says, "I am confused now." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Me too." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | >
Floyd | An Old Church
Floyd | You are outside an old church. The church has seen better years.
Floyd | Behind the church to the east you see a small overgrown cemetary.
Floyd |

| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x church" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x cemetary" | ||
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing. Floyd | | ||
| Guest1 arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "exits" | ||
Floyd | >That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | | ||
| Taleslinger arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | ||
| Guest1 frowns | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | >The urge to go to the cemetary is so strong, you can think of nothing Floyd | else. Floyd | | ||
| Guest1 screeches, I guess this isn't done, then? I cant use my stupid if thing since, it doesn't work. | Knight_Otu says, "Well, that settles the direction question." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd | >As you enter the cemetary, you feel a sudden pressure building in Floyd | your head. As your head expands, cracks appear and the light coming Floyd | from within you outshines the full moon. Floyd | Floyd | As you fall to your knees, the screams coming from the town can be Floyd | heard far above your own. The curse of Jack Halloween has been Floyd | lifted. You are free from your cycle of birth and death and the town Floyd | has fallen beneath the weight of its sins. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** Rest in peace, Jack Halloween.....next year will come and go. Floyd | *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? | Teaspoon exclaims, "sure does!" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "and that settles the game." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Yup. I admit, the ending surprised me." | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "Should we end for today?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I think so." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Oh well, we got through a game. Yay." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yep." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Good for us." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Thanks for driving." | ||
