ClubFloyd Transcript:
Intro to The Devil's Music by Harkness Munt
As played on ifMUD on August 18, 2019

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.

Below is a transcript of Intro to The Devil's Music written by Harkness Munt. It took first place in the 2019 IntroComp. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd |
Floyd | Crossroads
Floyd | The air vibrates with cicada song and settles in my lungs like wet
Floyd | velvet.  It's getting on toward dusk, and the sunlight slants beneath
Floyd | the thunderclouds, painting the leaves lemon-green against the slate
Floyd | sky.  The road slinks down into a copse of hickories, meets another,
Floyd | and both wind away again.  North and south.  East and west.

DavidW says, "I suggest people look at Neurocracy when they get a chance. It's unlike any other IF I've seen."
Jacqueline says, "Cool. I do plan to look at all of them."
Jacqueline exclaims, "But coming from you, who has seen ALL OF IF, something new is intriguing!"

Floyd |
Floyd | Just a quick note:  The goal of the first part of the game was
Floyd | supposed to be getting into the farmhouse.  Due to unforeseen madness,
Floyd | I didn't quite get that far.  Still, I thought people should have
Floyd | something to work towards as they play so I added a few extra items
Floyd | which will only be found in the introcomp version of the game.  You
Floyd | should know them when you find them.

Floyd |
Floyd | After I fell, my brothers sealed me into a shell of flesh, like the
Floyd | other creatures of this world.  The binding sigil slithers just under
Floyd | my skin, glistening ultraviolet.  Sensing my gaze, it digs itself
Floyd | deeper into my arm.

Knight_Otu says, "Unforseen madness is always the worst."
DavidW asks, "I'm assuming the PC is not human?"

Floyd | The papyrus splits as I unfurl the scroll and read.  It's a contract

Jacqueline says, "Yeah, just 'a' devil, not 'the' devil, probably."
DavidW says, "Oh. This is a retelling of a story I've heard before, I think."
Jacqueline says, "This whole thing just sounds like an intro to The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Which, if so, spoiler alert: he's looking for a soul to steal."
Knight_Otu says, "Well that so typical of him."

Floyd |
Floyd | The fabric flows over my fingers like water.  After all these

Floyd | a naked soul couldn't slip through its weave.  I carry it for carting
Floyd | the damned down to Hell.

Floyd | As I watch, an insect nymph hooks its claws into the bark of a tree
