Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The funny thing about dreams is that, as advanced as we are as a Floyd | civilization, with our space flights, our computers, our science, and Floyd | our philosophy, no one on the planet has a verifiable answer as to Floyd | what dreams really are and why we have them. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | (press space) | ||

Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | Floyd | Your university experience, so far, has left a lot to be desired. Floyd | Constantly broke, you are always looking to do something to make a Floyd | buck; the job market is seemingly not able to support giving you a Floyd | part-time paycheck from somewhere. Left with little other choice, Floyd | you've begun answering ads calling for medical research studies. Floyd | Tonight's job: some overnight sleep study at the hospital a few blocks Floyd | down from your dorm. Floyd | Floyd | The Sueño Floyd | An Oneirological Mystery by Marshal Tenner Winter Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 150928 / Inform 7 build 6L38 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Waiting Room (on the office couch) Floyd | White, sterile, clinical: it's everything a hospital waiting room Floyd | should be, you guess. An office couch and some office chairs await Floyd | any sitters and a low table offers a selection of magazines. Near a Floyd | secure door to the north is a receptionist's desk complete with a busy Floyd | receptionist. The door that leads to more of the hospital, and Floyd | eventually an exit, is to the south. Floyd | Floyd | (To talk to people, type "talk to {person}" For conversation Floyd | topics, type "topics". For additional help, type "help". For the Floyd | credits, type "credits".) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Roger says (to floyd), "wake up" | ||
Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | > Floyd | > WAKE UP Floyd | Floyd | It's not going to be that easy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | Male. 19. Student at a university in Philadelphia. Good sense of Floyd | humor. Usually broke. Otherwise, generally a nice guy who tries to Floyd | do the right thing. Not ugly but no Adonis. You're comfortable with Floyd | yourself but not with your financial situation. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a pair of jeans (being worn) Floyd | a black shirt (being worn) Floyd | a pair of black Skechers (being worn) Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "could not resist" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x jeans" | ||
Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | > Floyd | > X JEANS Floyd | Floyd | The ultimate in fashion, in your opinion. Floyd | Floyd | The receptionist's phone rings. She answers it, "Yes, sir?" Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Well done, MTW. You made me look up oneirological, even though it was pretty obvious from context." | |
| Roger says, "knockoff shoes, eh" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x shirt" | ||
Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | > Floyd | > X SHIRT Floyd | Floyd | It's relatively non-descript. You've realized so far in your life Floyd | that you don't really like standing out in a crowd. Floyd | Floyd | "Sure." The receptionist says into the phone before hanging up. She Floyd | looks up at you. "You can go in now." She instructs as she pushes a Floyd | button beneath her desk. A buzzer sounds and you hear the secure door Floyd | to the north unlock. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x skechers" | ||
Floyd ] Waiting Room Floyd | > Floyd | > X SKECHERS Floyd | Floyd | They are a pair of casual, black shoes. They go with everything, Floyd | really. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "I guess we should go north?" | |
| Teaspoon says, "we do not have thrilling dress sense" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "north sounds good" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We don't like to stand out." | ||
| Jacqueline goes to refill her guava juice. | ||
| Jacqueline returns with. Now with more guava juice. | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Corridor Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | (first getting off the office couch) Floyd | (first opening the secure door) Floyd | Floyd | Corridor Floyd | This is your typical hospital corridor. It continues to the north and Floyd | a bathroom door is to the west. To the east is a lab door and the Floyd | secure door back to the waiting room is to the south. Otherwise, it Floyd | is a sterile environment, as if it is compulsively cleaned throughout Floyd | the day. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "probably is" | |
| Teaspoon says, "cleaned, I mean" | ||
| Jacqueline nods. | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "N?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "sure" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Corridor Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | You're pretty sure the lab is to the east. You shouldn't wander Floyd | around. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh." | |

| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | (first opening the heavy door) Floyd | Floyd | Sleep Lab Floyd | This brightly lit room reveals to you just how much money is budgeted Floyd | for this sleep study. A hospital bed is the focal point, of course, Floyd | but around it is a space-age-looking machine: some sort of MRI device, Floyd | maybe. Arrays of equipment flank the bed sporting dozens of wires Floyd | that hang from them. Floyd | Floyd | A door with a placard on it labeled Dressing Room is to the Floyd | north while another, nondescript door is to the east. Next to the Floyd | nondescript door is a large window, through which you can see an Floyd | observation room that obviously monitors this one. The door back to Floyd | the corridor is to the west. The whole room seems to softly hum. Floyd | Floyd | Dr. Lynch is here, clipboard in hand. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "what a comforting name for a doctor" | |
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "His first name is probably David." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "heh" | ||
| Roger says, "Can" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "talk to dr lynch" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO DR LYNCH Floyd | Floyd | You say hello to Dr. Lynch. Floyd | Floyd | (You could ask Dr. Lynch about Dr. Lynch, the MRI device, the Floyd | clipboard or sleep study.) Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "Can't be a dream if we're wearing pants" | |
| Teaspoon says, "I have dreams in which I am wearing pants all the time" | ||
| Roger says, "You weirdo" | ||
| Roger says, "Well, someone talk her up" | ||

Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK LYNCH ABOUT LYNCH Floyd | Floyd | "I guess I'm supposed to be in here?" You ask. Floyd | Floyd | "Yes," the doctor shakes your hand, "I'm Dr. Richard Lynch. Thanks Floyd | for volunteering for our study." Floyd | Floyd | "I'm Benji Evans." You dutifully tell him, but you're sure he already Floyd | knows that, of course. "What do you mean volunteer? I thought I was Floyd | getting paid for this." Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, of course." He smiles, "Volunteer sounds better than, Floyd | say, test subject." He gives a small chuckle. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "talk to lynch" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO LYNCH Floyd | Floyd | You are already talking to Dr. Lynch. Floyd | Floyd | "This is a simple sleep study to measure the effects of a new Floyd | medication." Dr. Lynch explains. "Your blood tests are well Floyd | within the range we need them to be in order for you to take the Floyd | dosage we're testing tonight." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "ask lynch about clipboard" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK LYNCH ABOUT CLIPBOARD Floyd | Floyd | Pointing at the clipboard, you ask, "Jesus, do you need that many Floyd | notes for this?" Floyd | Floyd | "Well, the study's been going on for years." He explains, "Most of Floyd | this is just reading material for me while you sleep." Yet you can't Floyd | help but notice he now guards it a bit more from you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Anybody seen Dreamscape?" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "talk to lynch" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO LYNCH Floyd | Floyd | You are already talking to Dr. Lynch. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "SUSPICIOUS CLIPBOARD IS SUSPICIOUS" | |

Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh." | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "ask lynch about mri machine" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK LYNCH ABOUT MRI MACHINE Floyd | Floyd | "So what's that machiney-thing?" You ask, pointing to the MRI device Floyd | surrounding the head of the bed. Floyd | Floyd | "It's like an MRI device." He tells you, "It measures just about Floyd | anything the other equipment arrays don't. But don't worry. It's not Floyd | invasive at all." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "ask lynch about rem" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK LYNCH ABOUT REM Floyd | Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "ask lynch about sleep study" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK LYNCH ABOUT SLEEP STUDY Floyd | Floyd | "So, this must be the sleep study lab?" You inquire, not sure what Floyd | else to say. Dr. Lynch smiles, "Yes, of course it is." Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "So it might pull out our fillings or it might not" | |
| Teaspoon asks, "do we have fillings?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | It would be rude to walk out of the room while talking to Dr. Lynch. Floyd | You should probably wait until you are instructed before heading into Floyd | the dressing room. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Sleep Lab Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK LYNCH ABOUT MEDICATION Floyd | Floyd | "What medication?" You ask, a little nervous at the thought that the Floyd | sleep study involves an untested chemical in your system. Then again, Floyd | you've partied enough to not worry too much about it. Floyd | Floyd | "It's got a long technical name, but we've been calling it The Floyd | Sueño. Dr. Torrez coined the word. It means dream in Floyd | Spanish." He tells you. Floyd | Floyd | "Makes sense." You shrug. Floyd | Floyd | "Yes," he continues, "It was originally designed as an anesthetic for Floyd | surgery, or maybe a powerful sleep aid for insomniacs. But what we're Floyd | doing in this lab is focusing on one of its side effects." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | "No," he looks at you with a furrowed brow, "no, it's not diarrhea, Floyd | Benji. It's about dreams. Have you ever had a lucid dream? Where Floyd | you know you're dreaming and can maybe even control your Floyd | dream?"(yes/no) | Jacqueline says, "heh" | |

Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, excellent." He says, "Then you might be able to help us better Floyd | than someone who hasn't." He makes some notes on his clipboard. Floyd | Floyd | "Well, if you're ready," Dr. Lynch replaces his pen into his pocket Floyd | protector, "Just head into the dressing room and get changed and come Floyd | back out for a good night's sleep." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I hope this goes whackadoodle." | |
