#ClubFloyd Discussion
|
|
| DavidW says, "I think Land of Breakfast should be short." | ||
| Roger goes home. | ||
| Roger has disconnected. | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "quit" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > QUIT Floyd | cheapglulxe quit with exit status: 0 | ||
| CF asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" | Knight_Otu says, "Sounds good to me." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask landofbreakfast" | ||
Floyd ] The Path Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Some would say that life is like a box of metaphors. I would not Floyd | say Floyd | that. I would say life is a land of metaphors. You come to this Floyd | land Floyd | perhaps from a hidden door in the back of a piece of furniture, Floyd | perhaps from a door in a dream. Either way, you find yourself Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | ~ a land can contain both ~ by Daniel Talsky & Rabbit, Rabbit Floyd | Release 12 / Serial number 200329 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.34 Floyd | lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | The Path Floyd | You are at the beginning of a path. It is plain, even homely. It Floyd | leads forward towards The Land of Breakfast and Lunch. If you Floyd | "walk Floyd | forward" you will follow the path. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "It can tell me all about the eggs I haven't been eating." | |
| Knight_Otu asks, "Anyone else want to drive?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh huh. Daniel Talsky." | ||
| DavidW says, "I can drive" | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] The Path Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are a fictional character who looks very much like the Floyd | non-fictional you looks. Almost exactly, in fact, except the Floyd | non-fictional you is slightly more attractive, and the fictional Floyd | you Floyd | is a slightly better speller. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Thanks. I am *still* picking slowly at my muffin." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] The Path Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You examine what you'd normally use to carry things, all the way Floyd | from Floyd | fingertip to elbow. As you suspected, nothing is contained there. Floyd | You briefly check for pockets or some kind of fanny pack. There Floyd | isn't Floyd | anything like that. You are forced to conclude that you have no Floyd | possessions. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Longest way to say 'you got nuthin'.'" | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "walk forward" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > WALK FORWARD Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch is a lot smaller than you were Floyd | expecting. It's actually just a small clearing near the road, like Floyd | a Floyd | roadside stop, with a painted picnic table containing a simple but Floyd | nourishing breakfast on one end, and a simple but nourishing lunch Floyd | on Floyd | the other end. A stubby little path leads backwards, and the path Floyd | continues forward, towards The Land of Unrealized Possibilities. Floyd | If Floyd | you "walk forward" or just "forward" or even just "f" you will be Floyd | walking towards it. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a painted picnic table (on which are Breakfast and Floyd | Lunch) Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x table" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X TABLE Floyd | Floyd | It's a well-maintained picnic table painted in a bright, childish, Floyd | civic style, depicting a crude sun with huge yellow beams bathing Floyd | jagged pine trees in their light. Floyd | Floyd | On the painted picnic table are Breakfast and Lunch. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Roger has arrived. | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x sun" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X SUN Floyd | Floyd | The sun is a simple yellow circle. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x trees" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X TREES Floyd | Floyd | The pine trees are just a brown rectangle topped with a jagged Floyd | green Floyd | pine tree shape. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x breakfast" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X BREAKFAST Floyd | Floyd | (Breakfast) Floyd | Breakfast consists of a halved grapefruit with the membranes cut Floyd | for Floyd | easier eating, a soft-boiled egg in a specially designed holder, Floyd | and a Floyd | bowl of Lieutenant Chomp with a small pitcher of milk next to it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x grapefruit" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X GRAPEFRUIT Floyd | Floyd | It's a traditional grapefruit. It's not one of the slightly Floyd | sweeter Floyd | red varieties, and it's not an exotic pomelo. It looks as if a Floyd | very Floyd | thin sprinkling of sugar has been applied. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "taste it" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > TASTE IT Floyd | Floyd | Breakfast is kind of an all-or-nothing affair. One really needs to Floyd | sit down and tuck into it, rather than simply nibbling at one thing Floyd | or Floyd | another and leaving the rest of it to repel and disgust another Floyd | traveller. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Interesting breakfast." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x egg" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X EGG Floyd | Floyd | The soft-boiled egg is a prim and underappreciated breakfast item. Floyd | Sure, it's a lot of work to get to every bit of the egg, but it's a Floyd | very delicate experience. You would take the nearby small spoon Floyd | and Floyd | gently crack the top of the egg off, exposing the soft and rich Floyd | partially-cooked egg inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x spoon" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X SPOON Floyd | Floyd | The soft-boiled egg is a prim and underappreciated breakfast item. Floyd | Sure, it's a lot of work to get to every bit of the egg, but it's a Floyd | very delicate experience. You would take the nearby small spoon Floyd | and Floyd | gently crack the top of the egg off, exposing the soft and rich Floyd | partially-cooked egg inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x cereal" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X CEREAL Floyd | Floyd | It looks like a bowl filled with the famous cereal known as Floyd | Lieutenant Floyd | Chomp. You grew up seeing the commercials and can almost see the Floyd | picture of the Lieutenant on the box in your mind's eye. You know Floyd | from experience that if you pour the milk too soon before you eat, Floyd | the Floyd | cereal will lacerate the roof of your mouth. If you wait too long: Floyd | sugary mush. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x milk" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X MILK Floyd | Floyd | It's a simple, white pitcher of milk, like you'd find in a diner. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "remember chomp" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > REMEMBER CHOMP Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "sing" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > SING Floyd | Floyd | I'm not sure what you like to sing in a private moment. Maybe it's Floyd | Beyonc��, maybe it's a little Sinatra, maybe it's Neutral Milk Floyd | Hotel, Floyd | and maybe it's the worms song. You sing it, whatever it is, and Floyd | you Floyd | feel slightly better. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "eat breakfast" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > EAT BREAKFAST Floyd | Floyd | (Breakfast) Floyd | You sit down for a moment and eat breakfast. It is delicious but Floyd | you Floyd | still don't quite feel satisfied. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x lunch" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X LUNCH Floyd | Floyd | (Lunch) Floyd | Lunch is made up of a grilled cheese sandwich, a bowl of tomato Floyd | soup, Floyd | a small tray of antipasto, and a ramekin filled with a very Floyd | enticing Floyd | potato salad. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "eat the sun" | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "eat sun" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > EAT SUN Floyd | Floyd | That's plainly inedible. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "lick sun" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > LICK SUN Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "well, I can't argue with that." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x sandwich" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X SANDWICH Floyd | Floyd | It's a grilled cheese sandwich in the classic sense, in that Floyd | there's Floyd | nothing in it but cheese. The sandwich has been cut in half Floyd | diagonally and the tiniest bit of cheese has oozed out towards the Floyd | table. It looks like a combination of cheeses. The bread is Floyd | toasted Floyd | to a perfect golden brown and glistens with its thin layer of Floyd | butter. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Also, might still be a bit hot." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "touch sandwich" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > TOUCH SANDWICH Floyd | Floyd | You feel nothing unexpected. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x soup" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X SOUP Floyd | Floyd | Warm, creamy, and comforting, and about two thirds the way to Floyd | filling Floyd | a fiestaware bowl. There is a bit of coarsely cracked pepper at Floyd | the Floyd | top. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x pepper" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X PEPPER Floyd | Floyd | Warm, creamy, and comforting, and about two thirds the way to Floyd | filling Floyd | a fiestaware bowl. There is a bit of coarsely cracked pepper at Floyd | the Floyd | top. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I like pepper." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x plate" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X PLATE Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x salad" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X SALAD Floyd | Floyd | It looks like a well-made potato salad, filled with richness and Floyd | zing. Floyd | You can see flecks of red onion and a light dusting of paprika. In Floyd | case you don't know what a ramekin is, it's a small straight-walled Floyd | bowl with scalloped outside walls. Perfect for an attractive Floyd | presentation of a small potato salad serving. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x fork" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X FORK Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "That's the only helpful thing I can think of to say right now is to tell you how very much I love pepper." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "smell lunch" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL LUNCH Floyd | Floyd | (Lunch) Floyd | It smells pretty nice, the individual lunch items each have their Floyd | own Floyd | smell. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "smell sandwich" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL SANDWICH Floyd | Floyd | You mostly smell butter, but perhaps a hint of cheddar. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "smell soup" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL SOUP Floyd | Floyd | You mostly smell the pepper, but with a warm tomato-ey bottom note. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "smell salad" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL SALAD Floyd | Floyd | Smells like smoked paprika and mustard. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "eat lunch" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > EAT LUNCH Floyd | Floyd | (Lunch) Floyd | Lunch was wonderful. Your stomach feels like a puzzle, where the Floyd | final piece has finally been snapped into place. You now feel as Floyd | if Floyd | you could take on the world. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "burp" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > BURP Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "pat stomach" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > PAT STOMACH Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Now, now." | |
| Jacqueline says, "Aw." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "stand" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > STAND Floyd | Floyd | But you aren't in anything at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch is a lot smaller than you were Floyd | expecting. It's actually just a small clearing near the road, like Floyd | a Floyd | roadside stop, with a painted picnic table containing the empty Floyd | dishes Floyd | from a simple but nourishing breakfast on one end, and the dishes Floyd | of a Floyd | simple but nourishing lunch on the other end. A stubby little path Floyd | leads backwards, and the path continues forward, towards The Land Floyd | of Floyd | Unrealized Possibilities. If you "walk forward" or just "forward" Floyd | or Floyd | even just "f" you will be walking towards it. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a painted picnic table here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x dishes" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X DISHES Floyd | Floyd | Which do you mean, the breakfast dishes or the lunch dishes? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "breakfast" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > BREAKFAST Floyd | Floyd | You've politely stacked the breakfast dishes, so the table doesn't Floyd | look too messy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x lunch dishes" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X LUNCH DISHES Floyd | Floyd | You've politely stacked the lunch dishes, so the table doesn't look Floyd | too messy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "wash lunch dishes" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > WASH LUNCH DISHES Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | jenrexrode says, "I thought eating the son was last Sunday." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "clean breakfast" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > CLEAN BREAKFAST Floyd | Floyd | You rub the breakfast dishes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "clean lunch" | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "stand on table" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > STAND ON TABLE Floyd | Floyd | Now that's just rude. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "look under table" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK UNDER TABLE Floyd | Floyd | The grass underneath is getting a bit brown. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x grass" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > X GRASS Floyd | Floyd | It's grassy. And brownish. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "water grass" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > WATER GRASS Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "smell grass" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL GRASS Floyd | Floyd | You smell nothing unexpected. Floyd | Floyd | Then again, you don't have the best sense of smell. Maybe if you Floyd | smell specific things it will be easier to discern a smell. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | The Land of Breakfast and Lunch is a lot smaller than you were Floyd | expecting.

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "take table" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Breakfast and Lunch Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE TABLE Floyd | Floyd | That's fixed in place. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "forward or back?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "And just last game I claimed smelling specific things is rare." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I think forward." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "f" | ||
Floyd ] Hopeful Path Floyd | > Floyd | > F Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Hopeful Path Floyd | You are on the hopeful path. Backwards from here is The Land of Floyd | Breakfast and Lunch. Forward is The Land of Unrealized Floyd | Possibilities. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x path" | ||
Floyd ] Hopeful Path Floyd | > Floyd | > X PATH Floyd | Floyd | It's a simple, foot-trod path that connects The Land of Breakfast Floyd | and Floyd | Lunch and The Land of Unrealized Possibilities. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "sideways" | ||
Floyd ] Hopeful Path Floyd | > Floyd | > SIDEWAYS Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "jump" | ||
Floyd ] Hopeful Path Floyd | > Floyd | > JUMP Floyd | Floyd | Ok, this is weird, but for some reason, jumping doesn't appear to Floyd | work Floyd | here. You bend your knees and then shove away from the earth with Floyd | a Floyd | snap like you're used to, but your feet don't leave the ground. Floyd | It's Floyd | a little disconcerting, sure, but it doesn't really change your Floyd | life. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "dance" | ||
Floyd ] Hopeful Path Floyd | > Floyd | > DANCE Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "hop" | ||

You bend your knees and then shove away from the earth with Floyd | a Floyd | snap like you're used to, but your feet don't leave the ground. Floyd | It's Floyd | a little disconcerting, sure, but it doesn't really change your Floyd | life. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "spin" | ||
Floyd ] Hopeful Path Floyd | > Floyd | > SPIN Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "f" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > F Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | You are in the Land of Unrealized Possibilities. Just being here Floyd | gives you a sense of all that could be accomplished if enough time, Floyd | effort, and focus were pointed in a specific direction. There is a Floyd | sense of both excitement and disappointment here that is almost Floyd | palpable. The Hopeful Path leads backward towards The Land of Floyd | Breakfast and Lunch, a place with a much clearer sense of purpose. Floyd | The Seaside Path leads forward, towards The Land of Unlaunched Floyd | Vessels. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a toy box (closed), a couch (on which is your brother), Floyd | and a TV here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x brother" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X BROTHER Floyd | Floyd | Your brother is a lean masterpiece of laziness and force. He is Floyd | devoted to his wasting of time right now and has himself wedged Floyd | into Floyd | the couch like a part of it. He is watching TV, and frequently Floyd | changing the channel. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I wonder if jumping, but with your feet glued to the ground, would help stretch your back. Y'know, like put some brief traction on your sping." | |
| Jacqueline says, "spine, even" | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x couch" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X COUCH Floyd | Floyd | This is the blue corduroy couch of your youth. You have rolled Floyd | over Floyd | on it many times and sat up to read its wrinkled poem on your arm. Floyd | Why would anyone get a corduroy couch? Floyd | Floyd | On the couch is your brother. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x tv" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X TV Floyd | Floyd | An early 35" flatscreen. Bulky, black, and plastic. It lived in Floyd | your Floyd | den for way too long, just because no one wanted to lift it. It's Floyd | odd Floyd | to see it here, in The Land of Unrealized Possibilities. It is Floyd | showing "Survival Hoarders" on channel 43. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "ask brother about tv" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK BROTHER ABOUT TV Floyd | Floyd | "It's a TV, just look at it yourself." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x toy box" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X TOY BOX Floyd | Floyd | It is a large simple wooden toy box stained with a nice Floyd | hand-painted Floyd | varnish. It has a hinged lid on top. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "open it" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > OPEN IT Floyd | Floyd | You open the toy box, revealing a wooden block, a skinny naked Floyd | plastic Floyd | doll, a closed jack-in-the-box, a lite-brite, a coloring book, a Floyd | small Floyd | heart shaped locket, and a small hobby horse. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "smell brother" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL BROTHER Floyd | Floyd | Weirdly, he smells fine. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x block" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X BLOCK Floyd | Floyd | It is a simple block made out of wood. It is an unpainted cube, Floyd | with Floyd | very slightly rounded corners. It's the kind of thing you would Floyd | find Floyd | at a Montessori school, usually in the company of many of its Floyd | compatriots. This one is alone. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x doll" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X DOLL Floyd | Floyd | The face of the skinny plastic doll is forever frozen in an Floyd | expression Floyd | of bored self-satisfaction. Its long naked arms and legs bend and Floyd | articulate, but not much. Its breasts are idealized, yet awkwardly Floyd | shaped, like rounded pyramids. It has nylon synthetic hair that Floyd | cascades stiffly around its shoulders. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "comb hair" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > COMB HAIR Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "look in box" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK IN BOX Floyd | Floyd | (the toy box) Floyd | In the toy box are a wooden block, a skinny naked plastic doll, a Floyd | closed jack-in-the-box, a lite-brite, a coloring book, a small Floyd | heart Floyd | shaped locket, and a small hobby horse. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x book" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X BOOK Floyd | Floyd | The title of the coloring book reads "Horse Party!" Inside are Floyd | drawings of horses in pastoral settings, but with festive party Floyd | hats. Floyd | They are doing no discernible celebrating. Seems a little Floyd | demented, Floyd | really. A couple of the pictures are colored neatly, and one is Floyd | very Floyd | carefully colored, as if by an adult.The last page is black with Floyd | some Floyd | kind of glow-in-the-dark ink. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x last page" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X LAST PAGE Floyd | Floyd | The last page is printed on black construction paper, in some kind Floyd | of barely visible ink. It looks like it must be some kind of weird Floyd | glow-in-the-dark ink. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "take last page" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE LAST PAGE Floyd | Floyd | You carefully tear the last page out. It's actually perforated, so Floyd | you don't feel so bad. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "take block" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE BLOCK Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Huh." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x lite-brite" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X LITE-BRITE Floyd | Floyd | You're looking at a white plastic case with a black plastic Floyd | pegboard Floyd | covering one side. Attached to the back is a black power cord. Floyd | It's Floyd | got a little lightbulb inside, and usually comes with sheets of Floyd | black Floyd | construction paper to affix to the pegboard. Usually comes with Floyd | dozens of transparent, colored pegs too. If you had them, you'd Floyd | push Floyd | the pegs into the pegboard to make little light-up pictures.You Floyd | don't Floyd | see any of that stuff though. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "put page on lite-brite" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT PAGE ON LITE-BRITE Floyd | Floyd | Putting things on the lite-brite would achieve nothing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "put page in lite-brite" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT PAGE IN LITE-BRITE Floyd | Floyd | You slide the last page into the lite-brite. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x outlet" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X OUTLET Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "plug in lite-brite" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > PLUG IN LITE-BRITE Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "unplug tv" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > UNPLUG TV Floyd | Floyd | You can only plug in and unplug things that have a power cord. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "plug lite-brite" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > PLUG LITE-BRITE Floyd | Floyd | (into the wooden block) Floyd | The wooden block wasn't made to have anything plugged into it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Hm." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x box" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X BOX Floyd | Floyd | (the toy box) Floyd | It is a large simple wooden toy box stained with a nice Floyd | hand-painted Floyd | varnish. It has a hinged lid on top. Floyd | Floyd | In the toy box are a skinny naked plastic doll, a closed Floyd | jack-in-the-box, a lite-brite, a coloring book, a small heart Floyd | shaped Floyd | locket, and a small hobby horse. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x locket" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > X LOCKET Floyd | Floyd | It is a small pewter locket. It looks a bit old fashioned. It has Floyd | a Floyd | small clasp on the side and looks like you could easily open it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "take it" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Unrealized Possibilities Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE IT Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "open it" | ||

Floyd | The Floyd | deep, dark void of space is with you. You absentmindedly unbuckle Floyd | the Floyd | webbing securing you to the seat, and you feel free to move about Floyd | the Floyd | interior. Floyd | Floyd | The Deep, Dark Void of Space Floyd | You are inside the rocket as it cruises very slowly through the Floyd | deep, Floyd | dark void of space. Outside the porthole window is the deep, dark Floyd | void of space covered over with a curtain of stars. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Elbow Nebula Floyd | > Floyd | > PUSH FORWARD Floyd | Floyd | Whoosh. You thought maybe the engine engaged again, but Floyd | something else already did. It bent space softly around you, and, Floyd | maybe the rocket moved a little. Like with a soft whoosh. It Floyd | happened in less than a second. Now, you think you're somewhere Floyd | else. Floyd | Floyd | Elbow Nebula Floyd | You are inside the rocket as it cruises very slowly through the Floyd | deep, Floyd | dark void of space.

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "turn crank" | ||
Floyd ] Chrysocolla Cluster Floyd | > Floyd | > TURN CRANK Floyd | Floyd | You grasp the little wooden ball and begin to turn the crank as you Floyd | hold the jack-in-the-box steady. A dark little tune plinks its way Floyd | out, echoing forth from the little tin box. It's not "all around Floyd | the Floyd | mulberry bush" or any song you recognize, so you don't quite expect Floyd | it Floyd | when its last note ends, and the spring-loaded doll within leaps Floyd | out Floyd | with surprising agility. You jump a tiny bit, in spite of Floyd | yourself. Floyd | The devil doll looks pleased. Floyd | Floyd | The simian businessperson's eyes whip suddenly to the face of the Floyd | devil doll. Its eyes widen and turn shockingly pale blue in a Floyd | clearly Floyd | recognizable look of total terror. Their fingers whip forward Floyd | towards Floyd | you involuntarily, and you suddenly feel whatever they were holding Floyd | in Floyd | the palm of your own hand. It is a shiny 1964 quarter. The Floyd | businessperson looks briefly dismayed but merely pulls something Floyd | else Floyd | out of its pocket. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "My." | |
| DavidW says, "And we have a quarter." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x quarter" | ||
Floyd ] Chrysocolla Cluster Floyd | > Floyd | > X QUARTER Floyd | Floyd | Before 1964, quarters were made almost entirely of silver, so the Floyd | shine of this mint-condition coin is brilliant. It is otherwise Floyd | like Floyd | a U.S. quarter dollar piece in general, with the date, 1964, and a Floyd | small letter "D", representing the Denver Mint, stamped into its Floyd | surface. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu asks, "Also, how did get the quarter into the rocket?" | |
| DavidW says, "Tele-quarter-esis" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Ah, of course." | ||
| DavidW says, "Maybe the businessperson is four-dimensional." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "push return" | ||
Floyd ] The Inside of the Parked Rocket Floyd | > Floyd | > PUSH RETURN Floyd | Floyd | Whoosh. At the end of the rocket's soft whoosh, its mighty Floyd | engines begin to engage, slowing its fall as it pillows down to the Floyd | landing pad in The Land of Thoroughly-Launched Vessels. Floyd | Floyd | The Inside of the Parked Rocket Floyd | You are within the smooth walls of the rocket. It is very plain Floyd | here, Floyd | out the porthole window you can see the sky, and out the hatch you Floyd | can Floyd | see The Land of Thoroughly-Launched Vessels. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "out" | ||
Floyd ] The Land of Thoroughly-Launched Vessels Floyd | > Floyd | > OUT Floyd | Floyd | You exit the hatch opening and climb to the ground. Floyd | Floyd | The Land of Thoroughly-Launched Vessels Floyd | You are in The Land of Thoroughly-Launched Vessels. There is a Floyd | launchpad here, on which sits a large, 1950's era rocket in galaxy Floyd | white and candy-apple red. The The Spiritual Sequel Path leads Floyd | backwards towards The Land of Unlaunched Vessels. Ahead of you, Floyd | The Floyd | Anticlimactic Path probably leads somewhere really amazing. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a launchpad and a rocket here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] The Land Behind the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > F Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Land Behind the Liquor Store Floyd | You are in The Land Behind the Liquor Store. It's underwhelming. Floyd | You've got your standard collection of broken down boxes, a Floyd | dumpster, Floyd | and a stack of pallets. Behind you, the anticlimactic path leads Floyd | to Floyd | The Land of Thoroughly-Launched Vessels. Ahead of you, The Path Floyd | Around the Liquor Store leads to The Land in Front of the Liquor Floyd | Store. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] The Path Around the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > F Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Path Around the Liquor Store Floyd | You're on the path around the liquor store. You see the side of Floyd | the Floyd | liquor store on one side and a fence on the other side. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "f" | ||
Floyd ] The Land in Front of the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > F Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Land in Front of the Liquor Store Floyd | The Land in Front of the Liquor Store looks mostly abandoned, and Floyd | you Floyd | feel a slight sense of disappointment and dread here. The liquor Floyd | store is closed, looks like permanently, and there's just a weird Floyd | kiddie ride here. There are marks on the sidewalk where some other Floyd | metal vending machines were, but it looks like they've been carted Floyd | away. Only the kiddie ride remains. It's pretty depressing here, Floyd | but Floyd | if you continue to go forward, the Idyllic Path leads to The Land Floyd | of Floyd | Puppy Cardiovascular health, which is the superior place. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a lite-brite (in which is a last page from the coloring Floyd | book, black, and printed with some kind of glow-in-the-dark ink) Floyd | and a Floyd | kiddie ride here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Thoroughly-Launched." | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "put quarter in slot" | ||
Floyd ] The Land in Front of the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT QUARTER IN SLOT Floyd | Floyd | Gravity pulls the quarter down into the slot, and then there is an Floyd | agonizing pause before the weight of the quarter trips an internal Floyd | lever in the machine and its song comes to life. 50% speed in one Floyd | second, full speed at two seconds. The song is "In my merry Floyd | Oldsmobile" and the dance of the humvee is drunken yet tame as it Floyd | rolls and lists in a pattern potentially thrilling to a 3-year old Floyd | but Floyd | usually not really. If you want to, you can ride the humvee now. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "ride humvee" | ||
Floyd ] The Land in Front of the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > RIDE HUMVEE Floyd | Floyd | You climb up on the molded fiberglass seat of the humvee like a pro Floyd | and right yourself against its tame rollicking. At first you find Floyd | it Floyd | boring, but you quickly get in the spirit, facetiously adjusting Floyd | your Floyd | imaginary cowboy hat and making a quick lasso motion with your Floyd | wrist Floyd | to show the yellow humvee you're in full control, despite its Floyd | raucous Floyd | bucking. Floyd | Floyd | If this was what you were trying to do, you pretty much won the Floyd | game, Floyd | but c'mon, you entered this fictional world with all its richness Floyd | and Floyd | descriptions of antipasto and space locations and all you wanted to Floyd | do Floyd | is solve its one puzzle? It's a mood piece, man! You're just Floyd | supposed to be relaxed and soak up the sweet, sweet ambience. That Floyd | said, none of my beta testers actually got the puzzle on their own. Floyd | I Floyd | didn't think it was that hard since if you trigger the Floyd | jack-in-the-box Floyd | in the room you find it in, it freaks your brother out, so I felt Floyd | like Floyd | that was a big clue, but I do have a lot of worthless items / red Floyd | herrings. What was I talking about? I dunno, good job though. I Floyd | personally suck at puzzles in games so I doubt I would have been Floyd | able Floyd | to figure it out myself. Floyd | Floyd | Ok. I'll admit it. There might be one even harder puzzle. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "It's five o'clock here and I'm out of ideas." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Hm. We're at the three-hour mark." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Call it here?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, Id say so." | ||
| DavidW says, "I assume the harder puzzle involves the space station and/or the misty nothingy area at the end." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, those are reasonable." | ||
| DavidW says, "Also, I sensed a horse theme throughout." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "But I have no idea what to do about them." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "There was a bit of that." | ||
| DavidW says, "Three horse-y things." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Could 'Mister Tuxedo' be an anagram?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Nothing stands out as obvious." | ||
| DavidW says, "Ms Exit Detour." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Hm." | ||
| DavidW says, "The game said explicitly not to abbreviate the name to Mr." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "anagram" | ||
Floyd ] The Land in Front of the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > ANAGRAM Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "detox rum" | ||
Floyd ] The Land in Front of the Liquor Store Floyd | > Floyd | > DETOX RUM Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "If you want rum, get into that liquor store." | |
| DavidW says, "Which didn't even seem to have a door." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I don't want rum, that was just an anagram of the shortened Mr Tuxedo." | ||
| DavidW says, "Ride out M texts" | ||
| DavidW says, "well, if it is an anagram, I'm not getting it." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Me neither." | ||
| DavidW asks, "I guess the penny was a red herring?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I guess." | ||
| DavidW says, "Anyway, let's stop here. Thanks for the game, and perhaps we can do that last Spring Thing game next week." | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Yeah. Good night, and stay safe, everyone!" | ||
| Roger exclaims, "sorry, suffered from a sudden onset nap -- but thanks, y'all!" | ||
