Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, Doctor Langridge," Pauline rasps, "Tell me some good news." Floyd | Floyd | "I wish I could," you say, "but the truth is that your condition is Floyd | getting worse. And the even worse news is that your insurance won't Floyd | pay for your procedure." Floyd | Floyd | Pauline's lip quivers. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

"The Hippocratic Floyd | Oath warns a doctor not to give into his or her feelings for a Floyd | patient," you say, "but an oath can only be kept for so long." Pauline Floyd | rises weakly to kiss you passionately. The moment is perfect, but it Floyd | does not last forever. Floyd | Floyd | "No one can know about this," you say. Pauline nods weakly. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I seem to recall that there's very few objects in the game." | |

| Jacqueline says, "You're welcome." | ||
| wordsmith exclaims, "ha!" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Do I just keep talking to her? Do I leave? Do I wait for her mother to join us so I can kiss her, too?" | ||
| DavidW says, "You should leave. This is one set of many." | ||
| wordsmith says, "You should do ALL of those things." | ||

Let me know what Floyd | you think of this game on Twitter (@rcveeder) or via email Floyd | (rcveeder@me.com). Floyd | Floyd | Here's a tip: To finish the game, you're going to have to use the Floyd | verb SHOW, as in ">show THING to PERSON". You might also have to Floyd | ">point THING at PERSON" at some point. Floyd | Floyd | Thanks for playing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Point WHAT thing? Surely not ... a GUN?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Surely the thing we'll point is the magnifying glass." | ||
| PerrySimm says, "Jacqueline's connection sucks and she somehow lost her main connection but not this one. She'll be back in a second." | ||
| DavidW says, "ack" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Back" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "That's weird, and yeah, ack." | ||

The exit is south. Floyd | Floyd | "It looks like Gina's not here yet," you announce to the empty room. Floyd | "I wonder where she is." Floyd | Floyd | The room is silent. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Probably." | |

| Jacqueline says, "nope" | ||
| DavidW says, "You shouldn't need much of a map. The hallways are a plus-sign, with one room off each, if I recall." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, I thought that, but this hallway continues." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "That's what gave me pause." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Should we leave since Gina isn't here?" | ||
| DavidW says, "You came from the west." | ||

The Floyd | exit is north. Floyd | Floyd | Standing beneath the portrait is Leopold Craverly himself, identical Floyd | to his own image in every way. He eyes you sternly from his perch atop Floyd | his snake-headed cane. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "golly" | |
| Knight_Otu asks, "Cragnerly Manor?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, I had the same moment" | ||

Floyd ] Craverly Manor Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO LEOPOLD Floyd | Floyd | "What's new over at Roland Memorial, Langridge?" Leopold asks. Floyd | Floyd | "It's Gina's daughter, Pauline. They can't afford the only procedure Floyd | that will keep her alive. But, Mister Craverly, I know you are not an Floyd | uncharitable man." Floyd | Floyd | Leopold lets loose a torrent of guffaws. "I think that sentence needs Floyd | one more negative, Langridge! Of what concern to me is the situation Floyd | of a girl I wouldn't recognize on the street?" Floyd | Floyd | Your response to this question is a glare like a polished silver Floyd | dagger. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I'm open to ideas. I'm not sure how I am supposed to actually influence the plot beyond talking to people, perhaps in a particular order." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "g" | ||
Floyd ] Craverly Manor Floyd | > Floyd | > G Floyd | Floyd | "I beg you to reconsider Janine's plight, Mister Craverly," you say. Floyd | Floyd | "I think you mean Pauline. And I beg you to leave off the Floyd | subject, Langridge!" answers Leopold in a mocking tone. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "The bulletin told you to show things to people. It will help." | |

Floyd ] Craverly Manor Floyd | > Floyd | > X LEOPOLD Floyd | Floyd | Though his hair is silver-white, and his eyes have been furrowed by a Floyd | lifetime of avarice and cynicism, Leopold still has many years left in Floyd | his life, and many goals left to achieve in those years, no matter Floyd | what or who stands in his way. Floyd | Floyd | "I beg you to reconsider Janine's plight, Mister Craverly," you say. Floyd | Floyd | "I think you mean Pauline. And I beg you to leave off the Floyd | subject, Langridge!" answers Leopold in a mocking tone. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Craverly Manor Floyd | > Floyd | > SHOW PHOTO TO LEOPOLD Floyd | Floyd | "What's that there?" Craverly asks. Floyd | Floyd | "It's Wendell," you say. "Pauline's dog." Floyd | Floyd | "Ah, I see, I see. And how has he been doing?" Floyd | Floyd | "He died three years ago," you answer meaningfully, "Under mysterious Floyd | circumstances." Floyd | Floyd | Craverly stares meaningfully back at you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Huh." | |

Floyd ] Gina's Pizzeria Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO GINA Floyd | Floyd | "Pauline's insurance has run out," you say. Gina's expression descends Floyd | into concern. Floyd | Floyd | "She needs a procedure, or she'll die," you continue. "Is there any Floyd | way you can pay for it?" Floyd | Floyd | "This pizzeria is barely paying for its own bills," says Gina. "All Floyd | the money I could have spent to save Pauline's life, I spent on my Floyd | dream of becoming a restauranteur." Floyd | Floyd | "We all have to live with our mistakes," you say, "but Pauline may not Floyd | have long to live with yours." Floyd | Floyd | Gina tries to hide her face.

Floyd ] Gina's Pizzeria Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are Sidney Langridge, feared and hated in the town of Craverly Floyd | Heights and beyond.
