  
 
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 Child's Play, written by Stephen Granade. Child's Play was originally released as part of the 2006 IntroComp, where it placed as the first runner-up. The first full version of the game, which is the version played by ClubFloyd, was released in December of 2007. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki. 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 | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Smothered in Darkness Floyd | It is dark and stuffy and you are covered over, something is all draped Floyd | over you, it is enough to make you crazy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Maureen says, "Hi all" | ||||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||||
Floyd | Suddenly the darkness is gone, and it is so light, you are blinded for Floyd | just a second. You blink and blink and then you can see the mom holding Floyd | the blanket she was covering you with. "Oh, kid, I'm so sorry, I Floyd | thought you were having fun," she says. "We'll do something else." Floyd | Floyd | That'll teach her.

But it Floyd | would be bigger and vaster if there weren't all these pillows and stuff Floyd | in a big ring around you. The mom is totally all paranoid and whatever, Floyd | she is a new mom. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it looms over you. Floyd | Floyd | The mom is playing with you and is all excited about it. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a squishy ball, a plush book, and your favorite toy Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | You eye your favorite toy and the mom sees you doing it and scoops it Floyd | up. "No, no, we're going to try pulling up!" She is all the time trying Floyd | to build your character or something. She waves the toy at you. "Look! Floyd | Look where I'm putting it!" She drops the toy on the footstool where Floyd | you can't see it unless you're all pulled up, that is just no fair. Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says (to Ellison), "it's probably a good idea with this many, yeah, since some puzzles are time-sensitive" | |||
| HairBrain says, "I think we're timid enough that Floyd usually doesn't get swamped." | ||||
| * Maureen has joined the channel. | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, time sensitive puzzles, yes." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "So who's our driver? Gunther?" | ||||
| Alex says (to Jacqueline), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that gunther is a silly person." | ||||
| Bruce exclaims, "Oooh! A 'Caller' just like Basic D&D!" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Alex), "Got that right." | ||||
| Alex exclaims (at Jacqueline), "Awwwk! No parse found!" | ||||
| DavidW says, "time sensitive puzzles? oh dear." | ||||
| Gunther says, "I need to go to bed early, so not me" | ||||
| Sargent says (to Bruce), "hah" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, I can be it." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x mom" | ||||
Floyd | When the mom is all sitting down she does not tower so much over you Floyd | but she is still pretty big. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "So, give me suggestions for commands on this channel, and I'll do them." | |||
| DavidW says, "get toy" | ||||
| Ellison says (to maga), "hehe, my followup question was going to be 'are there timed puzzles? because you know, I hear kids grow up SO FAST" | ||||
| Gunther says, "'stand up'" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get toy" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "stand up" | ||||
Floyd | You try that standing thing but you are still no good at it without Floyd | holding onto something so you will have to pull up on something to Floyd | stand up. Floyd | Floyd | The mom sits there looking at you all expectantly. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "get favorite toy, I mean" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, I think it's that we have to stand first." | ||||
| DavidW says, "waaa" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||||

Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW holds breath | |||

Floyd | [footstoll -> footstooll] Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "grr" | |||

Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Otto says, "Did we find the first bugs at the beginning... try examine book after that" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x book" | ||||
Floyd | It is plush and the mom likes to read it to you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "pull up on footstool" | ||||
Floyd | You pull yourself up and it is one hand and another hand which is hard Floyd | because the footstool is all unstable and rocks some but then you are Floyd | all on your feet so yay you! And now that you are up here you can see Floyd | your favorite toy on the footstool. Floyd | Floyd | The mom applauds, "Way to go!" She looks at her watch and is all Floyd | "Whoops! Playgroup's about to arrive. You hang out here while mom goes Floyd | and gets ready." She stands up and steps over all of those pillows and Floyd | you are stuck here now by yourself. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says (to Otto), "this is actually a v2 release, so it may have those fixed" | |||
| Sargent says, "though I make no guarantees" | ||||
| Otto asks, "isn't the toy available now ?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "ditto Otto" | ||||
| inky says, "yeah" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You cannot reach your favorite toy because you are standing and if you Floyd | let go with one hand you would just plop down before you could get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says (to Sargent), "I loved the writing in that opening. fun game so far" | |||
| Sargent says (to Ellison), "yay, thanks!" | ||||
| DavidW says, "shake or push footstool" | ||||
| inky says, "(also, it's true there are some timed sections, but generally speaking it's not going to break anything if folks feel like sticking in a command here and there)" | ||||
| Bruce says, "Except for the blender, of course." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "push footstool" | ||||
Floyd | You push on the footstool and it rocks and you pull on the footstool Floyd | and it rocks and then you hear stuff fall off it! But the stuff fell Floyd | outside the ring of pillows. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to DavidW), "woo" | |||
| Ellison asks, "will it break anything if we try >BABY SMASH ?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "eat pillows" | ||||
Floyd | You have short arms, you can't reach the ring of pillows from up here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Gunther asks, "or "ENTER BLENDER"?" | |||
| Jacqueline asks, "Okay, then anyone can type and if you people who know when the timed sections are could maybe warn us?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "save" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "cf1" | ||||
Floyd | Enter saved game to store: Ok. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "climb pillows" | ||||
Floyd | You have short arms, you can't reach the ring of pillows from up here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get down" | ||||
Floyd | Those pillows are terribly high, you can't really climb over them, and Floyd | they are too big to shove. Stupid small legs. Stupid small body. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "sit down" | ||||
Floyd | You sit down on your diaper and it is good that it is all padded and Floyd | stuff. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "(that last response was weird, though)" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Hopefully our diaper is empty." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x diaper" | ||||
Floyd | The diaper covers you and contains any embarassing accidents or Floyd | whatever. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "look in diaper" | ||||
Floyd | That is all you in there. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "heehee" | |||
| Bruce says, "smell diaper" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I always love how you explore things in games, Bruce." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "smell diaper" | ||||
Floyd | You are baby powder fresh. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Ghogg arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take pillows" | ||||
Floyd | It is true that there are a bunch of individual pillows in the ring of Floyd | pillows but each one is like bigger than you are, so you aren't going Floyd | to be able to take any of them. The mom and the dad must need a lot of Floyd | softness in their lives. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "if there's a gutter, I'll find it." | |||
| maga says (to Floyd), "remove diaper" | ||||
Floyd | (first taking your diaper) Floyd | The diaper is always there, it's not like there's anything you can do Floyd | about it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I seem to remember you giving me kudos for implementing 'lick' in a game." | |||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "urinate" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push pillows" | ||||
Floyd | They are so soft and way bigger than you, and you have the proportional Floyd | strength of one baby, so they do not move. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Can we push the stool to the pillows, topple the stool, and climb over it?" | |||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "climb pillows" | ||||
Floyd | You can pull up on stuff and all but you can't do that climbing thing. Floyd | Stupid short stubby legs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "find irradiated spider" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "enter blender" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "xyzzy" | ||||
Floyd | Supposedly saying xyzzy will do magical things and whatever, you can't Floyd | talk yet. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "search pillows" | ||||
Floyd | You don't find anything. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Ellison says (to floyd), "pull up on pillow" | ||||
Floyd | They are all smooshy and that makes them too hard to pull up on. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "l" | ||||
Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. But it Floyd | would be bigger and vaster if there weren't all these pillows and stuff Floyd | in a big ring around you. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it looms over you. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a squishy ball and a plush book here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "get ball" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "shake it" | ||||
Floyd | You shake the squishy ball and that is okay I guess. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "squish it" | ||||
Floyd | It is hard enough to pick up things, squeezing is even harder and so Floyd | don't worry about doing it, if it happens it happens. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Otto says (to floyd), "attack pillow" | ||||
Floyd | That might make you feel better but that is not the true baby way. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "push footstool" | ||||
Floyd | You tug on the footstool and it rocks and rocks and then it stops Floyd | rocking. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Ellison says (to floyd), "x book" | ||||
Floyd | It is plush and the mom likes to read it to you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||||
Floyd | There is no way you are going to jump, you can barely crawl. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "throw ball" | ||||
Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | > | Maureen asks, "can you x pillows again?" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x pillows" | ||||
Floyd | The ring is a bunch of pillows and stuff piled around in a circle so Floyd | you can't go crawling away when the mom is all distracted. The whole Floyd | thing is taller than you even when you are sitting. Floyd | Floyd | Hey wait, what is Alfadog doing wedged in the pillows like that? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Guest1 arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | DavidW asks, "huh. Why didn't 'search' reveal that?" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Maureen), "I think we decided anyone can enter commands right now. You do that by typing 'f command' (f means you're talking to Floyd)." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x alfadog" | ||||
Floyd | It is Alfadog, your alphabet-knowing toy and it is all wedged under Floyd | some pillows. He is about as long as you and he is about as tall as you Floyd | when you are crawling, it is as if he is your brother only he is a dog. Floyd | He has this switch on him that makes him run and say the alphabet and Floyd | such. Floyd | Floyd | > | Maureen says, "ok thanks" | |||
| Otto says (to Floyd), "show book to mom" | ||||
Floyd | You can only do that to something that is all alive. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "MOM IS DEAD" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get alfadog" | ||||
Floyd | It is hard enough to move Alfadog around when he is not all covered Floyd | over with pillows, there is no way you are budging him yourself when he Floyd | is wedged in there like that. Floyd | Floyd | > | Nitku says, "zombie mom" | |||
| Ellison says, "ha" | ||||
| Bruce exclaims, "Whoa!" | ||||
| Sargent says, "Arrival v1 had a non-interactive mom as well, so it's good I'm continuing the tradition" | ||||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "point at alfadog" | ||||
Floyd | [point -> points] Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "climb alphadog" | ||||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "turn on switch" | ||||
Floyd | You can pull up on stuff and all but you can't do that climbing thing. Floyd | Stupid short stubby legs. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | You are all fumbly on the switch but then you get it turned on and look Floyd | out! Alfadog lights up and his paws start digging in and he is barking Floyd | out "A! B! C! D! EFG!" It looks like he may be stuck under those Floyd | pillows but then "L! M! N! O! P!" pillows tumble out of his way and he Floyd | is free, zipping off to the east! You hear him winding down, "W X Y and Floyd | Zeee....." And now there is this big gap in the pillows to the east. Floyd | Floyd | That Alfadog is very powerful, he should probably be recalled. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "baby nietzsche" | |||
| Maureen says, "wow" | ||||
| Bruce asks, "What does not kill ALFADOG makes him stronger?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Nice." | ||||
| Gunther says, "I like how the baby can't stand or climb but knows compass directions" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | In Front of TV Floyd | The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and Floyd | it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo Floyd | equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle Floyd | of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play Floyd | in to the north. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Alfadog and your favorite toy here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "ha" | |||

| DavidW says, "toy! toy!" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get toy" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up. Floyd | Floyd | There is a ding-dong and the mom comes clattering in all "Hang on! I'm Floyd | coming!" She opens the door and there is Marion Kinmundy here for Floyd | playgroup. She is carrying that little red haired girl Zoe who started Floyd | coming to playgroup a couple of whiles ago. Zoe sees your favorite toy Floyd | and her eyes light up. Floyd | Floyd | The mom must be psychic or something because she whirls around and Floyd | snatches up your favorite toy. "Oh, no," she says with a little laugh, Floyd | "we're not having you two fight over this thing again. I'll tuck it Floyd | away where it'll be safe." And Marion laughs too, which is cool, that Floyd | way they don't notice you and the little red haired girl glaring at Floyd | each other. Floyd | Floyd | She wants your toy? And the mom wants to lock the toy away? Bring it Floyd | on. | DavidW says, "mine" | |||

Floyd | Floyd | Chapter 1 Floyd | Playtime Floyd | Floyd | Right behind Marion and Zoe the little red haired girl is Lisa who is Floyd | Cassie's mom. Lisa is carrying Cassie all carefully but Cassie is Floyd | squirming to get down. "Hi Farina, hi Marion--hang on Cassie, mommy's Floyd | going to put you down," Lisa says and then she steps over the baby gate Floyd | and dumps Cassie by the couch to the south of you. Floyd | Floyd | Meanwhile the mom is putting all the pillows back on the couch and Floyd | loveseat. As she finishes she asks Marion, "Can I put this toy in Zoe's Floyd | backpack for now?" Marion is all "Sure!" as she puts Zoe on the floor Floyd | over by the rocking chair and sits on the loveseat.

Floyd | This is the thing your aunt gave you which is a super fun toy. It has Floyd | places to chew and places that are shiny and it rattles when you shake Floyd | it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "oh, cool, I thought it was out of sight again" | |||
| Bruce says, "we don't know what it is." | ||||

Floyd | Zoe's backpack has all these cute bears sewed on it. Clearly her mom Floyd | Marion picked it out, it does not reek of evil like it would if Zoe had Floyd | chosen it. It is closed so you can't see what's in it though you know Floyd | your toy is in there somewhere. It is next to the gliding rocking chair Floyd | to the northwest.

Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | A backpack with bears on and your favorite toy in it is shoved behind Floyd | the rocking chair next to the wall. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a smooth rock here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe is sitting in a fog of grump on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | There is a ding-dong! and the mom goes and opens the front door. It is Floyd | Becca and her son Jemison and some strange guy is there holding Watson Floyd | Mason. "Come on in, everyone," the mom says. She turns to the strange Floyd | guy, "I'm glad you could make it, Parry." Floyd | Floyd | Parry shrugs and smiles and says, "I always wondered what everyone did Floyd | during playgroup." Floyd | Floyd | "Drink mimosas!" Becca says over her shoulder to Parry and there is Floyd | polite laughter and Parry smiles like he is kinda unsure about all of Floyd | this. Floyd | Floyd | "Why don't you put Watson in here with the others?" the mom asks and Floyd | Parry nods. He ends up putting Watson by Jemison over by the loveseat. Floyd | Then all the standing adults sit down with Parry sitting near you so Floyd | now I guess they are sitting adults. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Zoe scrunches up her face and bursts into wails. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says, "i'm just taking a small look" | |||
| Sargent says (to Bruce), "only occasionally" | ||||
| Maureen says, "i know you'll do the right thing" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I'm sure this rock will be... useful." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "open backpack" | ||||
Floyd | You would but Parry is rocking, rocking, rocking, and you can't reach Floyd | under the rocking chair to get to the backpack while he is rocking, Floyd | rocking, rocking. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe screws up her face and bursts into wails, those are so baby Floyd | crocodile tears. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | You shove the smooth rock in your mouth and start chewing on it and Floyd | that leaves your hands free. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x rocking chair" | ||||
Floyd | The dad likes to sit in the chair and rock back and forth and back and Floyd | forth and back and forth which is okay for napping (not that you need Floyd | naps) but is not so good when you are trying to pull up on it. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe clenches her tiny fists and waves them while complaining about Floyd | life. "I know, Zoe," Marion says. So Parry stops rocking long enough Floyd | for Marion to reach the backpack under the rocking chair and then she Floyd | digs around and pulls out a plastic cup and closes the backpack and she Floyd | gives the plastic cup to Zoe. Then Zoe sees that it's not your favorite Floyd | toy, ha ha to her, and she squalls and tries to shove the plastic cup Floyd | away but Marion says, "Shh, Zoe, be calm," and makes Zoe take it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "put rock under rocking chair" | ||||
Floyd | That would be a good way to stop the rocking chair from rocking but it Floyd | is a gliding rocking chair and so even if you put something under there Floyd | it could keep gliding. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gives the plastic cup a brief chew before spitting it out with a Floyd | "buh" noise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to swallow), "rock" | ||||
| Bruce says (to f), "swallow rock" | ||||
Floyd | You would but your mouth is all full. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "augh." | |||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "open backpack" | ||||
Floyd | You would but Parry is rocking, rocking, rocking, and you can't reach Floyd | under the rocking chair to get to the backpack while he is rocking, Floyd | rocking, rocking. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "suck rock" | ||||
Floyd | [suck -> fuck] Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to fuck. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "eep" | |||
| Gunther says, "dude" | ||||
| Bruce exclaims, "Well!" | ||||
| Bruce says, "I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh dear." | ||||
| DavidW says, "ha ha" | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "fuck" | ||||
Floyd | You don't have speech down yet. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stares at the plastic cup and she sighs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "laugh" | ||||
Floyd | You would but your mouth is all full. Floyd | Floyd | Marion asks Parry, "How is Shari doing?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Guest1 says, "/quit" | inky says, "real babies do not use such language" | |||
Floyd | You pop the smooth rock out of your mouth. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, my God, Parry and Shari!" laughs Becca. "I hadn't realized Floyd | that--that's just too precious." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stares at the plastic cup and she sighs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Guest1 says, "err...woop XD" | ||||
| Tale says (to Floyd), "take cup" | ||||
Floyd | Zoe shrieks at you and yanks back the plastic cup. Marion sees that and Floyd | she reacts in a flash and says "No, Zoe, no!" and stops doing whatever Floyd | parent thing she was doing and jumps up and pulls Zoe away from you. Floyd | "I'm sorry, Farina," she tells the mom. Floyd | Floyd | "She's feeling better," Parry says. "She's keeping food down now, at Floyd | least." Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | You already have that. Floyd | Floyd | Marion asks, "Oh, are you two expecting?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Guest1 goes home. | DavidW says, "perhaps we should explore. Find other stuff." | |||
| Ellison says, "yes, must find WEAPONS" | ||||
| Bruce says, "Like the BFG 9000 behind the TV" | ||||
| Ellison says, "ha" | ||||
| inky says, "we got the rock, what more do you want" | ||||
| Bruce says, "And the CHAINSAW" | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "throw rock at zoe" | ||||
Floyd | There is no way, you can barely pick stuff up and you are no Cy Young Floyd | or whatever. Floyd | Floyd | Parry is all, "Oh, no, no, no. No. It's just the flu." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe takes the plastic cup and tosses it aside. Floyd | Floyd | > | Gunther says (to inky), "the sun" | |||
| Sargent says, "the toy is gone. it must be brought. you have a rock." | ||||
| Bruce says, "The Sun has gone. You must...timing" | ||||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "x cup" | ||||
Floyd | This is one cup that originally came with a bunch of other cups and Floyd | they were all different sizes so you could stack them up into a giant Floyd | tower of cups. But there is only one cup, that is no good for stacking. Floyd | Floyd | Becca goes, "You two should give Watson a brother. Toughen him up." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "yay" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | "Can you imagine having two?" Lisa laughs, and it's not a calm laugh, Floyd | more a desperate laugh, "I'd go crazy." Floyd | Floyd | > | Otto says, "what more do we want ? We want to suck the rock, but it doesn't seem possible ;)" | |||
Floyd | These are books but boring and with no pictures. They are all probably Floyd | post-modern stories of longing and loss and existential angst and Floyd | whatever because books about Maisy totally are better. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | (first taking the books) Floyd | The books are way big and there is no way you're picking them up or Floyd | anything. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x pen" | ||||
Floyd | [pen -> open] Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x playpen" | ||||
Floyd | This portable playpen is all old, probably it should be recalled except Floyd | that the parents are way cheap. It is this frame made of metal bars and Floyd | it has mesh sides and a floor for babies to play on. The bars go around Floyd | in ovals at the top and bottom. It should be recalled because the top Floyd | oval is hinged and you can lower one side of the playpen by pushing the Floyd | top bar up and then letting go so that the mesh comes down, that is a Floyd | total deathtrap. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | The mesh gives too much for you to pull yourself up on it. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ooh. A rock. Now a deathtrap." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x gate" | ||||
Floyd | Plastic and it is wedged in there so you cannot go anywhere which is Floyd | totally not right. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "I'm not sure who's switched to doing .Floyd or wf instead of ..Floyd/f, but it'd be preferrable to do the latter" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "So I take it we've decided the goal of the game is not to retrieve our toy, but rather to kill or be killed." | ||||
| inky says, "since that makes the command you're executing appear in the transcript" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yes. Please don't whisper to Floyd." | ||||
| inky says (to Jacquelines), "babies must learn the rules of real life sooner or later" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I suppose." | ||||
| inky says, "plus later in the game the wolves show up" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "look behind bookcase" | ||||
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to look. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "me. Sorry" | |||
| Otto asks, "could we wander elsewhere ?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "sw" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored Floyd | there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east Floyd | and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding Floyd | rocking chair to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a plush book here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to Bruce), "We'll let it go. This time." | |||
| Bruce says (to f), "eat book" | Jacqueline smiles at Bruce. | |||
| Bruce asks, "Uh?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm... Try >F EAT BOOK" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "eat book" | ||||
Floyd | (first taking the plush book) Floyd | The plush book is big enough that you will have to drop everything to Floyd | get it because it takes two hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Ah" | |||
| Otto says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a smooth rock Floyd | Floyd | You can hear Zoe squalling all loudly by the gliding rocking chair. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Maybe the plush book can wedge the rocking chair?" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "hm" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Perhaps." | ||||
| Maureen asks, "what is a gliding rocking chair anyway?" | ||||
| Otto asks, "is it plush made of concrete ?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "It's one of those chairs that really just glides forward and back, rather than actually rocking. It's sort of like a porch glider, except furniture for your livingroom." | ||||
| Maureen asks, "so put something in the railing?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "drop all" | ||||
Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get book" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up and it takes two hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Hm. Can we crawl without our hands?" | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "drop trou" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I dunno." | |||
| inky says, "I think you can crawl while carrying things" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Which way again, ne?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "We could push it north, I suppose." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, n" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | Parry's feet keep leaving the floor as he rocks. Floyd | Floyd | A backpack with bears on and your favorite toy in it is shoved behind Floyd | the rocking chair next to the wall. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a little doll and a plastic cup here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe is sitting in a fog of grump on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "you obviously can't walk unassisted yet, since you need to pull up on objects to stand up" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x chair" | ||||
Floyd | The dad likes to sit in the chair and rock back and forth and back and Floyd | forth and back and forth which is okay for napping (not that you need Floyd | naps) but is not so good when you are trying to pull up on it. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe makes this sort of grumping grunting half-cry. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh. Parry's feet. Bet the idea is to put something under them, if wedging the chair itself isn't the answer." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "We are going to lose one of our chubby little fingers shoving this book in the glider mechanism, DavidW. I can just see it." | ||||
| Maureen says, "another death trap" | ||||
| DavidW says, "oh please. It's perfectly safe. :)" | ||||
| Otto asks, "maybe it's possible to wedge the chair with the rock then ?" | ||||
| Bruce exclaims, "Blenders all the way down!" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, there are plenty of people who do just find with only nine fingers." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Otto), "We tried that first." | ||||
| Bruce says, "more 'splorin'" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put book under chair" | ||||
Floyd | (the plush book under the gliding rocking chair) Floyd | That would be a good way to stop the rocking chair from rocking but it Floyd | is a gliding rocking chair and so even if you put something under there Floyd | it could keep gliding. Floyd | Floyd | Becca says to the mom, "Nice job on those mimosas." Floyd | Floyd | "Thanks," the mom replies. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "What verb? Not wedge, surely." | |||
| Otto says, "oops, sorry, I didn't notice it" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put book under parry's feet" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put book under feet" | ||||
Floyd | (the plush book under Parry) Floyd | There is no real need to do that. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa says, "It's nice, they help me calm down." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe makes this sort of grumping grunting half-cry. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "wedge zoe under chair" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pull feet" | ||||
Floyd | It is no good kicking or biting a parent, it is better to rebel in less Floyd | obvious ways. Floyd | Floyd | "And they're good for you," Marion says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x zoe" | ||||
Floyd | Grr, Zoe Kinmundy. That little red-haired girl has this sundress-like Floyd | jumper thing, it's not like you know fashion or anything so you're not Floyd | sure exactly what it is but it leaves her arms and legs bare for speed Floyd | and evil. Her red hair is in pigtails, like that will fool anyone into Floyd | thinking she is nice. Floyd | Floyd | "I'm not sure they're that good for you," Parry says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "give book to zoe" | ||||
Floyd | (the plush book to Zoe) Floyd | Zoe shrieks at you and shoves the plush book out of your hands and hits Floyd | at you. Marion sees that and she reacts in a flash and says "No, Zoe, Floyd | no!" and stops doing whatever parent thing she was doing and jumps up Floyd | and pulls Zoe away from you. "I'm sorry, Farina," she tells the mom. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "They do have orange juice in them." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "undo" | ||||
Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ok. Zoe = evil." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "I must say I amused by the parental convesation about mimosas." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "push zoe" | ||||
Floyd | That would certainly knock Zoe over but that would get everyone in an Floyd | uproar so it's best not to do it unless you really need to. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "They do have orange juice in them." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe clenches her tiny fists and waves them while complaining about Floyd | life. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop book" | ||||
Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | "Besides, if it tastes good, it's good for you," says Becca. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west except that a baby gate is in the way. There is the rocking Floyd | chair to the east as well, that is always fun. Floyd | Floyd | The legs of Marion dangle from the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "pull up on marion" | ||||
Floyd | Marion says "You go play with the others now" and takes you and puts Floyd | you back on the ground. Floyd | Floyd | You can hear Zoe squalling all loudly by the gliding rocking chair and Floyd | Marion stands up and goes to quiet her and then comes back in a second. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x loveseat" | ||||
Floyd | The loveseat is pink and striped and tastes funny if you lick it. This Floyd | is the north part of it and there is open space past it to the west Floyd | that is blocked by a baby gate. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "lick loveseat" | ||||
Floyd | It has this funny zing to it like dust or stale cheerios. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "snort loveseat" | ||||
Floyd | [snort -> short] Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to short. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x gate" | ||||
Floyd | Plastic and it is wedged in there so you cannot go anywhere which is Floyd | totally not right. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push gate" | ||||
Floyd | It is fixed in place. | ||||
| Ellison says (to Floyd), "pull up on loveseat" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | You pull up on the north pink striped loveseat and get to your feet and Floyd | you are all steady except for the occasional sway. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Otto says (to Floyd), "x me?" | ||||
Floyd | [me? -> me] Floyd | You are as baby-like as ever. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west except that a baby gate is in the way. There is the rocking Floyd | chair to the east as well, that is always fun. Floyd | Floyd | Marion is sitting there on the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "oh, I thought Marion left" | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "s" | Jacqueline says, "She did, but she came right back." | |||
Floyd | You slide along while moving your hands to keep steady. Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Becca is sitting on the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a rattly car here. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Watson are here. Jemison watches you watching him. Watson Floyd | sits all sad and dumpy on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "hm. Pulling up gives a different view to a location." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "hm" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x watson" | ||||
Floyd | Watson Mason has this big round face that is perfect for commercials Floyd | and baby food labels, only his face is always tear-streaked so maybe he Floyd | is not cut out for show-biz. Maybe he is sad because he is dressed like Floyd | a teeny tiny engineer in his polo onesie with a collar and because he Floyd | smells like baby powder. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "take car" | ||||
Floyd | You cannot reach the rattly car because you are standing and if you let Floyd | go with one hand you would just plop down before you could get it. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey, I just realized," Becca says all loud above you, "Your name is Floyd | Parry Mason!" Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ha ha" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "hahaha" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x jemison" | ||||
Floyd | Jemison Thorsby's name is not one you would want, that is for sure. He Floyd | is stylish in his blue onesie and he has a small mouth and these big Floyd | eyes that are watching, always watching, it is kinda creepy. Floyd | Floyd | "Um, yes?" Parry says. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "Oh, now you've done it. He's going to go berserk with the blender and the BFG 9000" | |||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "x car" | ||||
Floyd | It is all rattly, I guess that makes it more fun or something. Floyd | Floyd | "Cool, just like the detective!" Becca says. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "ha" | |||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "grow up" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "That ha was about his creepy eyes, by the way." | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "hug jemison" | ||||
Floyd | You have short arms, you can't reach Jemison from up here. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "My name's actually spelled--" Floyd | Floyd | "No, I think the original Perry Mason was a lawyer," Lisa says. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ha ha. topic drift" | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "sit down" | ||||
Floyd | You sit down on your diaper and it is good that it is all padded and Floyd | stuff. Floyd | Floyd | Parry clears his throat. "The lawyer spells his name with an e--" Floyd | Floyd | "Right, lawyer, that's what I meant," Becca tells Lisa. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "haha" | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | Your hands are all empty. Floyd | Floyd | "Let Parry finish," the mom says, but Parry just goes, "No, that's Floyd | okay." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Now I'm wondering if Sargent got this conversation from an actual play day with his kids at somebody's house." | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "get car" | ||||
Floyd | When Jemison sees you take the rattly car, his eyes light up Floyd | (metaphorically, it's not like his eyes are flashlights or anything) Floyd | and he starts watching the rattly car and thus yourself. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sargent says, "I admit nothing" | |||
| DavidW says, "hm. Will Jemison follow the car? hmm." | ||||
| Gunther says (to Floyd), "whisper to jemison to tell watson to kill zoe" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Admit it. Misty thinks mimosas are good for you. Admit it." | |||

Floyd | It is all rattly, I guess that makes it more fun or something. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Couch at the West Floyd | The couch is very long and this is the west part of it. There is a Floyd | loveseat to the north and more couch to the east. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa's legs are hanging off of the couch. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly Floyd | at the rattly car. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | It is no good kicking or biting a parent, it is better to rebel in less Floyd | obvious ways. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Couch at the West Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "If we give the car to Zoe...?" | |||
| Bruce says, "maybe we can make Jemison throw himself under the rocker." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm not giving that little kid our car if he doesn't appreciate it and/or we are not congratulated by a parent for sharing." | ||||
| Ellison says, "into the deathtrap he goes!" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Bruce), "Yay." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to David), "Worth a try." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Because I sort of think Bruce's plan will not work." | ||||

Floyd | Couch at the West Floyd | The couch is very long and this is the west part of it. There is a Floyd | loveseat to the north and more couch to the east. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa is sitting there on the couch. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison is playing with the rattly car. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| DavidW says, "hit jemison" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "hit jemison" | ||||
Floyd | Hitting and pushing and pulling other babies when you're in front of Floyd | parents is no good, they willl take you away and you won't get your Floyd | toy. Floyd | Floyd | "Say, how's Watson's rash doing?" Lisa asks Parry. Floyd | Floyd | Parry clears his throat. "He's much better, thanks." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Watson is by the south end of the loveseat to the north and so is way Floyd | too far away for that. Floyd | Floyd | "In a roundabout way," Parry says, "We used Boudreaux's butt paste." Floyd | Floyd | > | Maureen says, "i didn't want to hear that" | |||

Floyd | Jemison Thorsby's name is not one you would want, that is for sure.

Floyd | That is Cassie Sandoval, she is wearing a white dress that is all Floyd | bright against her dark skin and her hair is captured with pink clips.

Floyd | It may be normal little baby behavior to drool and spit up all over Floyd | parents and other babies but you are like eleven months old and now it Floyd | would be unseemly.

| Bruce asks, "Oh dear. Do humans really call not-baby food "people food" ?" | ||||
| Bruce says, "because, like, dogs, but that's different." | ||||
| DavidW asks, "This baby knows about Sisyphus? Was Sisyphus on Sesame Street?" | ||||
| Gunther says (to Bruce), "no, silly" | ||||
| Gunther says, ""people food" is ground-up homeless people" | ||||
| Bruce says, "Yeah. Didn't you see that one? Oscar the Grouch totally got crushed by the boulder." | ||||
| inky says (to Gunther), "but baby food is the one with pictures of babies on the jar" | ||||
| Gunther says (to DavidW), "well, the baby also knows compass directions" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Bruce), "oh cool." | ||||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "eat food" | ||||
Floyd | You open your mouth and the mom spoons in the prunes. Yeuch. And if Floyd | that isn't bad enough, the spoon goes away and comes back with more Floyd | prunes! Floyd | Floyd | "Really?" Lisa says. "I'd be worried that I'd give Cassie something Floyd | that'd hurt her." Meanwhile, Zoe is demanding more food. Grr, Zoe. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says (to Ellison), "hee hee" | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||||
Floyd | The mom says, "I know you don't like them, but prunes are good for Floyd | you." Floyd | Floyd | "Kids can eat nearly anything you can if it's pureed," says Marion. Floyd | Meanwhile, the mom is saying, "Here! Take a bite!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The mom says, "I know you don't like them, but prunes are good for Floyd | you." Floyd | Floyd | "Weird," Becca says. "Then why buy special baby food at all?" Floyd | Meanwhile, Jemison is taking bits of food and dropping them over his Floyd | high chair and then watching them hit the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "rock" | ||||
Floyd | You rock and rock and try to tip your chair over but it is too safely Floyd | designed. The mom must read Consumer Reports or something. Floyd | Floyd | "Well," says Parry, "Sometimes it's really convenient to have a jar for Floyd | Mason so--whoops!" And then you stop paying attention to him because he Floyd | spilled a teeny bowl of Cheerios and you and all the other babies are Floyd | all staring at the spray of Cheerios. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push sppon" | ||||
Floyd | [sppon -> spoon] Floyd | (tearing yourself away from the Cheerios) Floyd | You reach for it but the mom moves it away and says "Ah ah ah! No | Jacqueline says (to Bruce), "heehee" | |||

Floyd | (tearing yourself away from the Cheerios) Floyd | You are all strapped into your high chair so you are going nowhere. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie rocks hard in her seat, maybe she thinks she can tip over to get Floyd | to the Cheerios. Floyd | Floyd | Finally all of this feeding is over and the Cheerios get put away and Floyd | everyone gets wiped up with baby wipes before getting dumped back in Floyd | the living room.

Floyd | Floyd | Couch in the Middle Floyd | Here is where the middle of the couch is.

Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a medium plastic block here. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says to Marion and the mom, "Your two kids really love that one Floyd | toy." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push medium block e" | ||||
Floyd | You shove and shove at the medium plastic block and eventually you get Floyd | it moving to the east and then you follow it.

Floyd | Floyd | The mom laughs. "Ever since Zoe started coming it's been that way." Floyd | Floyd | You hear Watson cry loudly. Then Parry says, "Farina, I'm going to Floyd | borrow your swing and see if that calms Watson down." He goes clomping Floyd | around and you can see him come back with a baby swing. He goes over by Floyd | the TV with it and then there is the picking up of Watson and the Floyd | strapping in of Watson and the swinging of Watson, I hope that makes Floyd | Watson feel better.

Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a short plastic block (on which is Cassie), a little Floyd | doll, a much-loved kangaroo, a plastic cup, a soft foam block, and a Floyd | squishy ball here. Floyd | Floyd | "I always thought that kind of competition wouldn't happen until Zoe Floyd | was two or so," Marion says. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie climbs down off of the short plastic block.

Floyd | Floyd | > | Gunther says, "anyway, it's my bedtime" | |||
| Gunther is shot down in Mars orbit by two Greek gods and falls into the Tethys Sea. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "get on short block" | ||||
Floyd | You start out pulling up on the block but it is so short you fall Floyd | forward onto it and then you are sitting on it a little ways above the Floyd | ground. Floyd | Floyd | "I don't know what I'll do if Cassie ends up grabbing toys from other Floyd | kids," Lisa says. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce asks, "Dude, Becca's getting high?" | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x smoking" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x becca" | ||||
Floyd | Becca is Jemison's mom, she is as loud as Jemison is quiet and that is Floyd | very loud. Or very quiet. Anyway, that is Becca. She is next to the Floyd | gliding rocking chair to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "You'll watch for it and redirect Cassie and the other Floyd | kid. When Cassie's older, you'll punish her." Floyd | Floyd | You see Parry stand up and he goes over to where the TV is and the Floyd | swing is and he does something that probably involves Watson before he Floyd | sits down again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push medium block against tall block" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "get on medium block" | ||||
Floyd | (getting off the short plastic block) Floyd | You carefully climb onto the medium plastic block, it is a ways off the Floyd | ground. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh," Lisa says, "I couldn't spank Cassie." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stalks off to the west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "get on tall block" | ||||
Floyd | (getting off the medium plastic block) Floyd | You clamber up onto the tall plastic block, you are getting so high. Floyd | Floyd | "You don't have to spank her," the mom says and Marion chimes in, Floyd | "Farina's right. You'll figure out what Cassie's levers are and you'll Floyd | pull them." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Middle of the Living Room (on the tall plastic block) Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big.

Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a short plastic block and a medium plastic block here. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa sounds all puzzled, "What do you mean?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "open playpen" | ||||
Floyd | You push on the side of the oval closest to you and it goes up a bit Floyd | and clicks but when you let go it drops back into place. I guess you Floyd | need to push up the oval at both ends of the playpen at the same time. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "As outgoing as Cassie is, you can try sending her to her Floyd | room, or you can take away something she likes or likes to do. Figure Floyd | out what she values. That's where you apply pressure." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "PULL CASSIE'S LEVERS" | |||
| Bruce exclaims, "THIS IS A JOB FOR ALFADOG!" | ||||
| Bruce says, "Or Jemison, that awful little copycat." | ||||
| DavidW says, "okay, we need the foam block or similar to hold one oval up." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | (getting off the tall plastic block) Floyd | The tall block is way tall and you would hurt yourself if you tried to Floyd | get down from it directly so instead you climb onto the medium block. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, okay," Lisa says, but you can tell she is not convinced. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | You get off the medium plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast.

Floyd | Floyd | Cassie has hold of the soft foam block and keeps fiddling with it. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie tosses the soft foam block up and it falls. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "LOVE KANGAROO" | ||||
Floyd | [love -> move] Floyd | Nothing obvious happens. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie crawls off to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You pick it up. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "not that this should stop you from messing around, but you probably want to focus on finding your toy again" | |||

Floyd | You shove the soft foam block in your mouth and start chewing on it and Floyd | that leaves your hands free. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie climbs onto the tall plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "let's cooperatively open the playpen with cassie" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "u" | ||||
Floyd | You so can't go that way. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie giggles and leaps off of the tall block and that would be okay Floyd | if she didn't then smack her face into the floor. Cassie shrieks, it is Floyd | the loudest you have ever heard her be. I guess she is not the Floyd | super-tough baby she thinks she is. Anyway Lisa leaps up and runs to Floyd | Cassie and Parry leaves his tumbler and runs to Cassie too, they Floyd | scatter the plastic blocks around the room in their haste. "Baby, baby, Floyd | it's okay, shh," you hear Lisa saying and then Parry is also checking Floyd | Cassie over and shining this little flashlight in her eyes and saying, Floyd | "I think she's okay, she's just scared. Her pupillary response is just Floyd | fine." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ARGH" | |||
| Bert says, "...and *now* you know where those bruises come from." | ||||
| Sargent says, "if it makes you feel any better, parents feel the same way about how babies mess up all of their stuff" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I'm too hungry to do that again without a savepoint." | ||||
| Bruce asks, "hey sarge...how do you get diarrhea out of the cracks in a hardwood floor?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tall block" | ||||
Floyd | It is blue and it is about as wide as you are and tall as your head is Floyd | high when you are pulled up. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa is still saying "It'll be okay, Cassie, it'll be okay" and Parry Floyd | is saying "Breathe, Cassie, breathe" and Cassie is now taking big Floyd | hiccuping breaths. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sargent says, "very carefully" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x medium block" | ||||
Floyd | It is green and it is about as wide as you are and as tall as your head Floyd | is high when you are sitting down. It is over by the north end of the Floyd | loveseat to the northwest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "nw" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is Floyd | always fun. Floyd | Floyd | Hey, that baby gate that blocked your way west is all gone. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a medium plastic block here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stalks in from the south and settles near you. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie finally is all better and is laughing some and Lisa says, Floyd | "Thanks, Parry, I appreciate your help" and Parry says, "No problem." Floyd | And they go back to their seats. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "but I don't want to go that near it." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Behind the Loveseat Floyd | Back here is the back of the loveseat casting a shadow over you, it is Floyd | kind of cold. You can go south and east. You could go west but there is Floyd | totally a door in your way. You could go north in the hall but there is Floyd | a baby gate in the way there. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stalks in from the east and settles near you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "loveseat" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x door" | ||||
Floyd | It is big and wood and goes outside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "open door" | ||||
Floyd | You can open and close some things but not people-sized doors. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce exclaims, "ESCAPE OF THE BABY!" | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "gnaw through door then flee to freedom" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says, "A Baby's Night Out" | |||
| inky says, "hee hee" | ||||
| inky says, "I seem to recall the bear there does a lot of falling down from high places" | ||||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "s" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | By the Cabinet Floyd | The cabinet that is also like an endtable for the loveseat and the Floyd | couch is here. You can go north back to behind the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Way up on top of the cabinet you see a heavy tumbler. Floyd | Floyd | You can't believe the mom just shoved your favorite toy in that cabinet Floyd | so you couldn't have it. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stalks in from the north and settles near you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "But he is a soft, plush toy, so that it okay." | |||
| inky says, "yeah" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Or something to that effect." | ||||
| inky says, "unlike Cassie" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | The cabinet is wood like a lot of other furniture in here because the Floyd | parents like wood or something, maybe they are tree huggers but only if Floyd | the trees have been cut down and planed and shaped. Anyway it has this Floyd | door in it which is closed and on top is a heavy tumbler. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Yes" | |||
| Bert says, "Watson seemed a bit soft and plush." | ||||
| Bert says, "Maybe you should push him off of the blocks." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "open cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | You tug on the door but it has one of those baby lock things on it that Floyd | you have to push down to open the door and you cannot reach it at all Floyd | so the door opens a tiny bit and you can barely see your favorite toy Floyd | in there. Floyd | Floyd | Then Zoe falls forward and pushes against the door and it slams shut. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa looks over the couch at you and at Zoe and she says, "Awwww, Floyd | they're playing together! How cute!" Floyd | Floyd | "Cassie is really pulling up well," the mom tells Lisa. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "Zoe would look good falling from a great height" | |||
| inky says, "hee hee" | ||||
| inky says, "lure Zoe up onto the blocks, then blammo" | ||||
| Bruce says, "I feel like Stewie from The Family Guy" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I think we need to trap Zoe in the playpen." | ||||
| Bruce asks, "IN THE DEATHTRAP you mean?" | ||||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "push cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | It is pretty firmly on the ground right now. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, thanks," Lisa says. "She's probably too good at pulling up and Floyd | climbing, to tell you the truth." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "yes" | |||
| Bruce says, "Also we could see if the stairway to cabinet works any better" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tumbler" | ||||
Floyd | The tumbler is thick glass and it holds water, it is left over from Floyd | Parry snacking. It is way up on the cabinet. Floyd | Floyd | "We've been working on pulling up," the mom says, boy is she going to Floyd | be surprised by all the practice you're getting today. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "push cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | It is pretty firmly on the ground right now. Floyd | Floyd | Becca snorts. "I love how all of you take credit for your kids' Floyd | development. Like you're the one pulling up." Floyd | Floyd | > | Maureen says, "high IQ if we could figure out how to work that baby lock" | |||
| Sargent says, "you tell 'em, Becca" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "tell becca, shut up you stoner hippie" | ||||
Floyd | [stoner -> stone] Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "hee hee" | |||
| Maureen asks, "can the tall block fit behind here?" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x lock" | ||||
Floyd | You cannot really see the baby lock when the cabinet door is closed but Floyd | you know what it looks like, it is a plastic latch way up at the top of Floyd | the door. If you push down on the plastic latch then you can open the Floyd | door which is a laugh because you are way short and it is way high. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa says, "You're just annoyed that Jemison just sits there--" but Floyd | Becca keeps on talking, "So your kid pulls up or cruises or whatever. Floyd | Big deal!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "becca, shut up hippie" | ||||
Floyd | You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "tell becca about filthy hippies shutting the hell up" | ||||
Floyd | [hell -> tell] Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "damn" | |||
| Maureen says, "no wonder Jemison is already such a stoner" | ||||
| Bruce says, "Let's GO SMOKE JEMISON" | ||||
| Bruce says, "Jemison -> JIMSON WEED" | ||||
| Bruce asks, "Also, on play dates, do other parents REALLY typically show up at your house and start toking up?" | ||||
| Bert says (to Floyd), "gurgle" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Maybe explore more. I can't imagine why we might need the tumbler of water." | |||
| Bert says, "I am not sure that the smoking line was literal." | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Behind the Loveseat Floyd | Back here is the back of the loveseat casting a shadow over you, it is Floyd | kind of cold. You can go south and east. You could go west but there is Floyd | totally a door in your way. You could go north in the hall but there is Floyd | a baby gate in the way there. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "Kids develop at different speeds. It's not as if I'll Floyd | still be helping Watson pull up when he goes to college." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Wendymoon arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is Floyd | always fun. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa's legs are hanging off of the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a medium plastic block here. Floyd | Floyd | "As long as Zoe doesn't fall too far behind, I'm not worried," Marion Floyd | says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "s" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah," Parry says. "It won't bother me if Watson is like many boys and Floyd | is slower to talk." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "s" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Couch at the West Floyd | The couch is very long and this is the west part of it. There is a Floyd | loveseat to the north and more couch to the east. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Parry or at least his legs over by the couch. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it is right next to the couch. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a short plastic block and a rattly car here. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie is looking around for mischief to make. Floyd | Floyd | You can just see some paper beyond the footstool. Floyd | Floyd | "As long as Cassie is ahead of where she's supposed to be, I won't Floyd | worry either," Lisa says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x paper" | ||||
Floyd | It is a tiny folded piece of paper. It is tucked behind the footstool. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie climbs onto the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "take paper" | ||||
Floyd | The folded piece of paper is tucked behind the footstool and so is way Floyd | too far away for that. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie climbs down off of the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "go behind footstool" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x footstool" | ||||
Floyd | The footstool is up in a corner, there is only a small gap between it Floyd | and the couch with more couch past it to the west. Beyond it past the Floyd | gap between the footstool and the couch you can see this little piece | ||||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | of paper. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie climbs onto the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | Floyd | Couch in the Middle Floyd | Here is where the middle of the couch is. If you want to play you Floyd | should totally go north to the middle of the room where there is a lot Floyd | of space. There is more couch to the east and west. Floyd | Floyd | Those are the mom's legs there by the couch. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison is all staring at the velcro jangly balls. The velcro jangly Floyd | balls hang off of him. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison reaches around to the jangly balls and pats at them and they go Floyd | jangle jangle jangle. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "EEEAGH VELCRO BALLS" | |||
| Jacqueline laughs. | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "take balls" | ||||
Floyd | You tug on the velcro jangly balls and you tug some more and they come Floyd | off of Jemison with a rrrrrrrip sound and Jemison looks at you with sad Floyd | sad eyes and then stares at the velcro balls. Floyd | Floyd | Watson wanders in from the north. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "laugh maniacally" | ||||
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to laugh. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "wear balls" | ||||
Floyd | You put on the velcro jangly balls. Floyd | Floyd | > | Maureen says, "oops think i meant to go west" | |||

| inky says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Crawling like you are there is no way you will fit in the narrow gap Floyd | between the footstool and the couch, it is because you have the Floyd | shoulders of a very small linebacker. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison cannot look away from you and the velcro jangly balls. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "pull up" | |||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "pull up" | ||||
Floyd | You'll have to say what you want to pull up on. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "full up on stool" | ||||
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to full. Floyd | Floyd | > | Maureen says, "arggh" | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "oops stool" | ||||
Floyd | Sorry, that can't be corrected. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "pull up on stool" | ||||
Floyd | You pull up on the footstool and get to your feet and you are all Floyd | steady except for the occasional sway. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison cannot look away from you and the velcro jangly balls. Floyd | Floyd | > | Brad says, "Maybe we can lure Jemison up to the top block, maybe at the playpen or cabinet." | |||
| Maureen says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | There is just enough space for you to slide between the footstool and Floyd | the couch so you cruise along the couch past the footstool and into the Floyd | tiny space back there. Floyd | Floyd | Secret Space by the Couch Floyd | There is not a lot of room back here behind the footstool, you fill Floyd | most of the space between the footstool and the couch and this wood Floyd | cabinet that is acting like an endtable. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it is all close to you. Floyd | Floyd | There is this tiny folded piece of paper shoved under the cabinet. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "get oaoer" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "get paper" | ||||
Floyd | You cannot reach the folded piece of paper because you are standing and Floyd | if you let go with one hand you would just plop down before you could Floyd | get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x paper" | ||||
Floyd | It is a tiny folded piece of paper that is all shoved under the wood Floyd | cabinet. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "sit down" | ||||
Floyd | You sit down on your diaper and it is good that it is all padded and Floyd | stuff. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "get paper" | ||||
Floyd | You tug and tug and tug and then you see Parry's hand reach over you Floyd | and remove the tumbler from on top of the cabinet where it was and pop! Floyd | the folded paper comes out from under the wood cabinet and the cabinet Floyd | goes rock rock rock. It is a good thing Parry was thirsty right now. Floyd | Floyd | Becca is still all sipping on a mimosa and she says, "Hey, hospitals Floyd | should give us mimosas to go with our epidurals." Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Otto says, "Now it's the turn to baby Otto to go sleeping... goodbye everybody" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "See, this 'just enough space' thing is reminding me of the time my dad left the seat up on the toilet and I sat down on the not-seat and realized I was starting to fall and tried to get out but instead somehow got lodged between the toilet and the wall and someone had to come at the sound of my cries to get me unwedged." | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "read paper" | ||||
Floyd | It must be nice to read, the mom and the dad are always doing it, but Floyd | you do not yet know how. Floyd | Floyd | The mom laughs, "Becca, you didn't even get an epidural." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Otto goes home. | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x paper" | ||||
Floyd | It is a tiny folded piece of paper. Floyd | Floyd | Becca just smiles while Lisa says, "I still can't believe you did Floyd | that." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says, "That sounds embarrassing." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Something about 'babies' and 'just enough space,' I guess." | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "unfold paper" | ||||
Floyd | It is really folded and creased from being under the cabinet and your Floyd | fingers are too stubby. Floyd | Floyd | "It wasn't too hard," Becca says. "I just screamed a lot and hit Kurt Floyd | when the pain got really bad." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to Bert), "It was." | |||
| Sargent says, "man, I had no idea this game would bring out so many bad memories" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||||
| Bruce kicks Sargent's head. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "unfold paper" | ||||
Floyd | It is really folded and creased from being under the cabinet and your Floyd | fingers are too stubby. Floyd | Floyd | "The trick," Marion says, "is to relax into the pain instead of Floyd | anticipating it and tensing up." Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "there's nothing like childhood to bring back childhood trauma" | |||
| Bert says (to Jacq), "Although I suppose it's something that would be less embarrassing as an infant than as a teenager." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put paper in mouth" | ||||
Floyd | You would but your mouth is all full. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa sighs and says, "My epidural stopped working." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Snrk. Yes." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a folded piece of paper Floyd | some velcro jangly balls (being worn) Floyd | a soft foam block (being chewed) Floyd | Floyd | "What?" Becca asks. "I hadn't heard that." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says, "(I guess if it happened these days, it'd end up on youtube.)" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pull up on stool" | ||||
Floyd | You have stuff in your hands and you will need those hands to pull Floyd | yourself up so drop something I guess. Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah", says Lisa, "I got my epidural and then they turned me on my Floyd | side. The next thing I knew I was feeling everything, and I mean Floyd | everything, on my left side." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "oh, wait a minute....." | |||
| inky says, "it's safe to drop the block or the paper here and you can come back to it later if you want" | ||||
| Bruce says, "NOW the cabinet will rock." | ||||
| DavidW says, "yes" | ||||
| Sargent says (to Floyd), "rock" | ||||
Floyd | You are already totally rocking. Floyd | Floyd | Parry pipes up, "You know, it's a shame that the anesthesiologist makes Floyd | you hunch forward so he can slide the needle into your spine just when Floyd | contractions make you want to flatten out." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "So we can push it over onto ZOE" | |||
| inky says, "hee hee" | ||||
| Bruce says, "and CRUSH HER WITH THE TOY OH SWEET IRONY" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Bruce), "do try" | ||||

Floyd | You slide back out into the big wild world. Floyd | Floyd | Couch at the West Floyd | The couch is very long and this is the west part of it. There is a Floyd | loveseat to the north and more couch to the east. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it is all close to you. Floyd | Floyd | There is Parry on the couch. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a heavy tumbler, a short plastic block, and a rattly Floyd | car here. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie and Watson and Jemison are here. Cassie is looking around for Floyd | mischief to make. Watson sits all sad and dumpy on the floor. Jemison Floyd | is all staring at the velcro jangly balls.

| Maureen says (to Floyd), "pull up on cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | You can't pull up on the wood cabinet to stand. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "We've looked at some, but really we're just after Floyd | somewhere where Watson can have more socialization." Floyd | Floyd | Jemison reaches out and pokes at the velcro jangly balls. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You tug on the door and the baby lock on the door catches and the Floyd | entire cabinet rocks towards you now that there is no paper under it Floyd | and your favorite toy rattles around in there. This paper coaster that Floyd | must have been under the tumbler slides forward like it's about to fall Floyd | off the cabinet. Floyd | Floyd | Then Zoe shoves the door and the cabinet rocks back making the coaster Floyd | slide back fully on top of the cabinet and the door closes. Floyd | Floyd | You can totally hear Marion's frown when she says, "I'm not interested Floyd | in pushing Zoe like that." Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | The back loveseat is behind the loveseat to the north and so is way too Floyd | far away for that. Floyd | Floyd | "It's not pushing," Becca sniffs. "It's making sure our kids live up to Floyd | their potential." Floyd | Floyd | Jemison jiggles the jangly balls and they go jangle jangle jangle. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "damn zoe" | |||

Floyd | You tug on the velcro jangly balls and you tug some more and they come Floyd | off of Jemison with a rrrrrrrip sound and Jemison looks at you with sad Floyd | sad eyes and then stares at the velcro balls. Floyd | Floyd | "Still," Marion says, and the conversation kinda peters out. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "muha muha" | |||
| Bruce asks, "so let's rebuild the stairway, see who we can lure up it, open the playpen, and then trap zoe?" | ||||

Floyd | By the Cabinet Floyd | The cabinet that is also like an endtable for the loveseat and the Floyd | couch is here. You can go north back to behind the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Way up on top of the cabinet you see a paper coaster. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Zoe are here. Jemison is all staring at the velcro jangly Floyd | balls which you are holding. Zoe has her eye on you (not literally). Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I'm wondering if the paper and coaster are significant, though." | |||

Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big.

Becca says, "That's why you don't put Floyd | things where the kids can chew all over them!" And Parry sighs and you Floyd | see him put the tumbler way up on the wood cabinet in the corner Floyd | between the couch and the loveseat and definitely out of your reach.

Floyd | You jangle your way out of the room. Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is Floyd | always fun. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa's legs are hanging off of the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe stalks in from the southeast and settles near you.

Floyd | You jangle your way out of the room. Floyd | Floyd | Behind the Loveseat Floyd | Back here is the back of the loveseat casting a shadow over you, it is Floyd | kind of cold.

| Bruce says (to Floyd), "open cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | You reach for the door and Zoe moves to stop you but Jemison gets in Floyd | front of Zoe and reaches for the jangly balls. While she is all dealing Floyd | with him you tug on the door and the baby lock catches, making the Floyd | entire cabinet rock towards you. And as it does so the tumbler tumbles, Floyd | hitting the baby lock and pushing it down before springing off of the Floyd | lock and over your head. The cabinet door pops open and your favorite Floyd | toy rolls out and into your lap! Floyd | Floyd | Then you hear the crying. When you turn you see a very wet Zoe and a Floyd | very wet Jemison and the empty tumbler is next to them. Jemison takes Floyd | it like a toddler, he is fine, but Zoe is angry like a wet evil cat. Floyd | Heads pop over the top of the loveseat staring down at all of you, one Floyd | of them is Parry and he looks really embarassed. Floyd | Floyd | You're probably not going to get to keep the toy. | Tale says, "What a line to reenter on." | |||
| inky says, "aw yeah" | ||||
| Maureen exclaims, "hehe i thought the tumbler was going to take out Zoe!" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Chapter 3 Floyd | Picturetime Floyd | Floyd | It is like you are psychic because you don't get to keep the toy. The Floyd | mom storms around the couch and scoops you up and grabs the toy. "It's Floyd | okay, Farina," Marion says, "accidents happen. Zoe and Jemison don't Floyd | look hurt, just wet." Several of the other parents are glaring at Floyd | Parry, he looks all sheepish. Floyd | Floyd | "Since the kids have to be changed anyway, let's take pictures!" Marion Floyd | says. Floyd | Floyd | "Sure, works for me," Lisa says, and just like that everyone is getting Floyd | their onesies taken off and instead they are being put in these Floyd | Halloween costumes, and that would be okay except your squid costume is Floyd | totally restrictive. Floyd | Floyd | On the Couch Floyd | You don't get up on the couch all that much but now you are up here Floyd | with everyone else so you can have your pictures taken. Floyd | Floyd | Becca is all ordering everyone around. Floyd | Floyd | Parry is standing back a bit watching the picturetime commotion. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa is staying near Cassie in case she makes a break for it. Floyd | Floyd | Marion is calm in the face of all this chaos. Floyd | Floyd | The mom is trying to get all of you together for a picture. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Watson and Cassie and Zoe are here. Jemison is all dressed Floyd | like a bumblebee. Watson is gloomy in his sad homemade bat costume. Floyd | Cassie is dressed in this pumpkin costume, it is adorable. Zoe hunkers Floyd | in a ladybug costume like a wolf in cute sheep's clothing.

Floyd | You have like 75 points out of 100, in 362 turns. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison asks, "what thing with the coaster?" | |||
| lpsmith says (to inky), "I only saw the latter half of the solving, but it seemed to me that it helped." | ||||
| lpsmith says, "If only because it reminded people that the top of the cabinet was where the tumbler used to be." | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "bite zoe" | ||||
Floyd | There is no way the parents will believe you had nothing to do with Floyd | hurting her, you'd better leave her alone for now. Floyd | Floyd | The mom says, "That's an interesting costume Watson's wearing." Watson Floyd | must know he's being talked about, he ducks his head and looks sad. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says (to lpsmith), "yeah, it helped me in that way, too" | |||
| inky says, "there's also a coaster on top of the cabinet that'll fall off if you open it, if you open it after you put the balls on zoe but before parry puts the tumbler back" | ||||
| Ellison says, "ah, good thinking" | ||||
| Sargent says, "which was painful to add, I must say" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "eat me" | ||||
Floyd | (first taking yourself) Floyd | With this stupid costume on you cannot take anything, the fake Floyd | tentacles are all in the way. Floyd | Floyd | "We made it ourselves," Parry replies. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x watson" | ||||
Floyd | Watson Mason has this big round face that is perfect for commercials Floyd | and baby food labels, only his face is always tear-streaked so maybe he Floyd | is not cut out for show-biz. Maybe he is sad because he is dressed in Floyd | this costume that is supposed to be a scary bat but instead is like a Floyd | sad dumpy bat. Floyd | Floyd | Becca laughs all loud. "It's not very cheerful--whoops, hold on there Floyd | Jemison." Zoe must've pushed Jemison because he starts to topple Floyd | sideways before Becca rescues him. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison asks, "is there an alternate solution for if you put the balls in the tumbler?" | |||
| Bert says, "The coaster is actually made from a flayed portion of Sargent's own flesh." | ||||
| Sargent says (to Ellison), "er uh...yes! absolutely!" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | You start to move and then there is the mom, she pushes you back in Floyd | place. "Whoa, kiddo, we've got to get a picture of everyone." Floyd | Floyd | Parry is all huffy, "We wanted something different from the usual." Floyd | Floyd | > | lpsmith says, "Ha ha ha" | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x zoe" | ||||
Floyd | Grr, Zoe Kinmundy. That little red-haired girl has this ladybug costume Floyd | on, it is supposed to be cute but you are not fooled. Her red hair is Floyd | in pigtails, like that will fool anyone into thinking she is nice. Floyd | Floyd | "Does that thing have buttons? That'll make it fun to take off if he Floyd | spits up on it," Becca laughs again. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x cassie" | ||||
Floyd | That is Cassie Sandoval, she is wearing a costume that makes her look Floyd | like a pumpkin. Her arms are scraped up and she has some bruises on her Floyd | legs. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie bounces up and down next to you and you try to back away from Floyd | her but your tentacles get in your way. "Keep the kids together!" Lisa Floyd | calls, pointing a small camera at all of you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x bumblebee" | ||||
Floyd | The tiny antennas and tiny wings totally make the costume. Floyd | Floyd | Parry and the mom get you all in place on the couch. The mom dangles Floyd | your favorite toy in front of all of you! You and Zoe stare raptly at Floyd | it and then Parry says "Now!" and it is like a thousand suns explode in Floyd | front of you and all you can see are these white and red spots. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says, "I'd be glad to look like Cthulhu." | |||
| lpsmith says, "(my immediate thought is that you could put a single ball in it, but maybe that would be hard to code too)" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "scream" | ||||
Floyd | The mom says, "We're just taking a couple of pictures, kiddo. Hang in Floyd | there." Floyd | Floyd | As the spots clear you see Watson has pitched face first into the Floyd | couch. Zoe is busy tugging on Jemison's wings and Cassie is chewing on Floyd | one of your tentacles. "Hope no one wanted another picture!" Becca Floyd | says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||||
Floyd | There is no way you are going to jump, you can barely crawl. Floyd | Floyd | The parents give up and take you all off the couch. As the mom puts you Floyd | down she stops by the bookcase and puts your toy up there. "Maybe next Floyd | year they'll sit still," Lisa sighs, and Parry just snorts. Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored Floyd | there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east Floyd | and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding Floyd | rocking chair to the north.

| Bruce says (to Floyd), "get on medium block" | ||||
Floyd | (getting off the tall plastic block) Floyd | You carefully climb onto the medium plastic block, it is a ways off the Floyd | ground. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "I don't know, that sounds like a clever idea." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe starts to climb up onto the medium plastic block but then since you Floyd | are on the higher blocks she looks up at you and makes this annoyed Floyd | face. Clearly she is waiting for you to go down directly from the Floyd | medium block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | You get off the medium plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | About half a parent high in the bookcase is your favorite toy. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a squishy ball, a tall plastic block, a short plastic Floyd | block (on which is Zoe), a medium plastic block, a plastic cup, and a Floyd | little doll here. Floyd | Floyd | The mom is indignant, "My child is not a dog to be on a leash!" Good Floyd | for her, there is no way you'd wear a leash. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the medium plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "for any cute or grotesque costume idea there exists a kid version" | |||
| RootShell says, "good night" | Bert says (to Tale), "LINK" | |||
| inky says, "plus there are also kid versions for things that there aren't adult versions of" | ||||
| Bruce says, "so we need to get out of the damn costume" | ||||
| Sargent says (to Tale), "yes" | ||||
| inky says, "like I bet there are no pumpkin costumes for adults" | ||||
| Bruce says, "only without peeing or pooping apparently" | ||||
| (from inky) Bruce says "Well, that exhausts *my* repertoire" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "I have a pumpkin costume." | ||||
| inky asks, "ha ha, really?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, a jack-o-lantern." | ||||
| inky says, "good enough" | ||||
| inky asks, "isn't it kind of enormous?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I was a jack-o-lantern a few years ago for Halloween, yeah." | ||||
| (from Tale) Jacqueline says, "Pumpkin Ranger." | ||||
| inky says, "like, it'd have ot be five feet across or something to be proportionate" | ||||
| olethros says, "you'll turn us into baby eaters!" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "It kind of is enormous, yes." | ||||
| Ellison says, "ok, unfortunately, I have to run. good luck, everyone" | ||||
| inky says, "or well, I guess only three feet, but still" | ||||
| Bert says, ";..inky LINK" | ||||

| inky says, "next I was going to say "ok, but there isn't a *sexy* pumpkin costume for women" -- but then I see they made this curvy, so what do I know" | ||||
| Ghogg says (to inky), "oh? oh? LINK" | ||||
| RootShell says, "to elisson "how can i play?"" | DavidW asks, "Should we explore the room again, see if there's something new to use?" | |||
| inky says (to Ghogg), "ok, this is disturbing" | ||||
| inky says (to RootShell), "type @joinc #clubfloyd" | Ghogg says, "yes. yes it is." | |||
| Bruce says, "EXPLORING IS FOR OLD PEOPLE." | ||||
| inky says, "and then type 'f command' to give a command to the game" | Bruce says, "But I guess so. I got nothing." | |||
| RootShell says, "thanks inky" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "s" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | In Front of TV Floyd | The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and Floyd | it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo Floyd | equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle Floyd | of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play Floyd | in to the north. Floyd | Floyd | There is this baby swing right in front of the TV. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa says, "When you get down to it, babies are about as smart as pets. Floyd | Cassie might as well be a hyperactive Yorkie." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says (to inky), "For *that*, you want LINK" | |||
| * RootShell has joined the channel. | ||||
| Sargent says, "look, I really didn't intend for this game to be that disturbing" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push swing n" | ||||
Floyd | It is too heavy for you to move. Floyd | Floyd | "Lisa!" Marion says. "That's horrible!" Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Heh" | |||
| inky says (to Bert), "oh man" | ||||
| Bert says, "Whoops, I guess Ghogg won." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push swing" | ||||
Floyd | The frame part is too heavy to move and the swing part is too high. Floyd | Floyd | "It's true!" Lisa says. "They make messes on the floor and can't talk Floyd | and you can classically condition them." Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "I am still freaking out" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tv" | ||||
Floyd | The TV is blocked by this baby swing that is in the way. Floyd | Floyd | "You know," Parry says, "A combination playpen and Skinner box might Floyd | sell really well." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "s" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Couch at the East Floyd | You are where the couch ends here at the east, at least where it ends Floyd | at one end. North is the TV and west is more couch. Floyd | Floyd | The legs of Marion dangle from the sofa. Floyd | Floyd | Becca says, "That is the kind of thing people call Child Protective Floyd | Services about." Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says, "But I guess parents really do talk like that sometimes." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Couch in the Middle Floyd | Here is where the middle of the couch is. If you want to play you Floyd | should totally go north to the middle of the room where there is a lot Floyd | of space. There is more couch to the east and west. Floyd | Floyd | Those are the mom's legs there by the couch. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a brix blox bucket here. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie and Watson are here. Cassie is dressed in this pumpkin costume, Floyd | it is adorable. Watson is gloomy in his sad homemade bat costume. Floyd | Floyd | "I'm not sure Child Services gets called that often to rescue kids from Floyd | Skinner boxes," Parry says. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "I know a guy who claims to know a girl who was raised in a Skinner box." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bucket" | ||||
Floyd | It is a tall cube that is open on top only the corners are all rounded Floyd | so no babies are harmed in the extracting of the blox from the bucket Floyd | and it is also wider at the top than at the bottom. It is full of these Floyd | lame faker Lego blocks. Floyd | Floyd | The mom is still all huffy, "Kids aren't pets." Floyd | Floyd | Cassie babbles happily. Floyd | Floyd | Watson stares at the brix blox bucket. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale asks (of bruce), "Did he ever rang a bell near her?" | |||
| Tale says, "Oh, wait, that was Pavlov." | ||||
| RootShell says, "can someone please tell me how to give commands to floyd? im new to this thing ;)"" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "empty bucket" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says, "It makes her start playing the guitar." | |||
| Bruce says, "I'm pretty sure he rang her bell if you know what I'm saying." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take bucket" | ||||
Floyd | With this stupid costume on you cannot take anything, the fake Floyd | tentacles are all in the way. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says (to bruce), "Hehe" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "kick bucket" | ||||
Floyd | You are way not coordinated enough to do that. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie says "Pbbbbbth." Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says (to RootShell), ""f command"" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push bucket" | ||||
Floyd | You put your tentacles on the bucket and it wobbles and then it wobbles Floyd | more and look out! it comes crashing down, spilling these dayglo blox Floyd | everywhere and dumping an instruction booklet out. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to Floyd), "look" | ||||
Floyd | Couch in the Middle Floyd | Here is where the middle of the couch is. If you want to play you Floyd | should totally go north to the middle of the room where there is a lot Floyd | of space. There is more couch to the east and west. Floyd | Floyd | Those are the mom's legs there by the couch. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a building instructions booklet, a pile of dayglo Floyd | blox, and a brix blox bucket here. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie and Watson are here. Cassie is dressed in this pumpkin costume, Floyd | it is adorable. Watson is gloomy in his sad homemade bat costume. Floyd | Floyd | Watson flops the instruction booklet open and it opens to a page that Floyd | shows you how to build a helicopter. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison comes in from the north. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bert says (to RootShell), "You can type '..Floyd stuff' to talk to him." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x booklet" | ||||
Floyd | The booklet tells you how to build stuff out of the blox, you've never Floyd | really used it. It is flopped open right now and is showing this Floyd | helicopter. It involves these complex blades and gears and stuff on the Floyd | page. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie says "Eeeeeee eeee ee-ah!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "build helicopter" | ||||
Floyd | You look at the instructions but man, they are way complex. This is the Floyd | kind of thing you hire people to do instead of bothering yourself. Floyd | | ||||
| Bert says, "Also, most folks here are on the #clubfloyd channel" | ||||
Floyd | Cassie babbles happily. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to Floyd), "x booklet" | ||||
Floyd | The booklet tells you how to build stuff out of the blox, you've never Floyd | really used it. It is flopped open right now and is showing this Floyd | helicopter. It involves these complex blades and gears and stuff on the Floyd | page. Floyd | Floyd | Watson looks at the instruction booklet and his hands move so fast they Floyd | are almost blurry and the dayglo blox go together and suddenly Watson Floyd | has built a helicopter. He looks at it and then drops it, he is so Floyd | going to grow up to be an engineer and like online games and in his Floyd | spare time I bet he will LARP. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ha ha" | |||
| Bert says, "Oh, I guess you are too." | ||||
| inky says, "(yeah, I told him to join before)" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "take helicopter" | ||||
Floyd | With this stupid costume on you cannot take anything, the fake Floyd | tentacles are all in the way. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison puts his mouth all over the brix blox bucket. He looks pretty Floyd | thoughtful when he does that. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x helicopter" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "lick tentacle" | ||||
Floyd | You are small and all but this is even smaller and it is a shame you Floyd | cannot get in it and fly it around. Floyd | Floyd | Watson picks up the helicopter and takes it apart and dumps the brix Floyd | into the big pile. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | [tentacle -> tentacles] Floyd | You taste nothing unexpected. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale asks, "Hm, can you use LARP as a verb, I wonder?" | |||
| Bert asks, "Have you saved yet this chapter?" | ||||
| RootShell says (to Floyd), "wet tentacles" | ||||
Floyd | [wet -> west] Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says (to Tale), "Yes." | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "save" | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "cf7" | ||||
Floyd | Enter saved game to store: Ok. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a squid costume (being worn) Floyd | Floyd | Cassie falls forward onto her hands and then she is crawling off to the Floyd | northeast. Floyd | Floyd | Watson looks at the instruction booklet and his hands move so fast they Floyd | are almost blurry and the dayglo blox go together and suddenly Watson Floyd | has built a helicopter. He looks at it and then drops it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Tale says (to Floyd), "take heli" | ||||
Floyd | [heli -> help] Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | With this stupid costume on you cannot take anything, the fake Floyd | tentacles are all in the way. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to Floyd), "push box" | ||||
| Tale says (to Floyd), "push watson" | ||||
Floyd | [box -> blox] Floyd | It is fixed in place. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey, Parry," Lisa says, "Watson seems a little out-of-sorts today. I Floyd | saw you had to put him in the swing when he was crying." Floyd | Floyd | Watson picks up the helicopter and takes it apart and dumps the brix Floyd | into the big pile. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison puts his mouth all over the pile of dayglo blox. He looks Floyd | pretty thoughtful when he does that. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | Hitting and pushing and pulling other babies when you're in front of Floyd | parents is no good, they willl take you away and you won't get your Floyd | toy. Floyd | Floyd | Parry sighs. "Shari's parents were here this weekend." Floyd | Floyd | Cassie crawls in from the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | Watson looks at the instruction booklet and his hands move so fast they Floyd | are almost blurry and the dayglo blox go together and suddenly Watson Floyd | has built a helicopter. He looks at it and then drops it. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I think we need to move on." | |||
| Tale says (to Floyd), "put watson in swing" | ||||
Floyd | You can't reach into the In Front of TV. Floyd | Floyd | "Let me guess," says the mom, "they carried Watson everywhere and Floyd | played with him and wouldn't leave him alone, and now he's upset you're Floyd | not doing the same." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Couch at the West Floyd | The couch is very long and this is the west part of it. There is a Floyd | loveseat to the north and more couch to the east. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa's legs are hanging off of the couch. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a soft foam block and a rattly car here. Floyd | Floyd | "Exactly!" Parry exclaims. "How'd you know?" Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says, "I think we need to do something with the helicopter" | |||
| DavidW says (to Tale), "yes, BUT, costume" | ||||
| RootShell says, "but we cant do it with the costume on" | Jacqueline says, "We need to get rid of these damn tentacles." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" | Tale says, "I think we need to do something with the costume." | |||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | "Detox!" Lisa and Becca and Marion chorus. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bruce says, "How very Hentai" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored Floyd | there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east Floyd | and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding Floyd | rocking chair to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | "You must not talk to many other parents," Becca says. "It's nice when Floyd | the grandparents visit and give you a break, but when they leave, oh Floyd | boy!" Floyd | Floyd | Jemison comes in from the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell asks, "hasnt anyone seen water somewhere?" | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||||
Floyd | When you cry again the mom says, "Shh. Calm down." Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "I can't believe the same thing happens to all of you! How Floyd | do you keep it from happening?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | "You can keep your parents from visiting Watson," Marion says. Floyd | "Otherwise, no, there's no real prevention." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is Floyd | always fun. Floyd | Floyd | Shoved half-under the loveseat is a remote control. Floyd | Floyd | Those are Parry's feet dangling from the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | The mom says, "Be glad they love Watson as much as they do." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "pull up on loveseat" | ||||
Floyd | You would but the tentacles of your stupid squid costume are too slick. Floyd | You really have to get someone to take this costume off for you. Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah. Yeah!" Parry says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x remote" | ||||
Floyd | This is the remote control that lets parents turn on the TV as if they Floyd | have big stretchy arms that can reach the television from anywhere in Floyd | the room. You could use it to turn on the TV if you were ancient, like Floyd | three years old or something. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to Floyd), "rub eyes" | ||||
Floyd | [eyes -> yes] Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale asks, "This will set your channel to Clubfloyd, and then you say ; before you type, okay?" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "turn on tv" | ||||
Floyd | The television is to the east and so is way too far away for that. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "turn on remote" | ||||
Floyd | The remote control is too advanced for you, it is the kind of thing Floyd | adults use. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| Bruce says (to Floyd), "x swing" | ||||
Floyd | It is this a-frame thing with a swing in the middle and a speed switch Floyd | way up there. When the speed switch is all the way up boy does that Floyd | swing go high, nearly high enough to kick a parent in the head if you Floyd | were that kind of baby. It is supposed to be this cheerful baby plaid Floyd | but instead it is this weird lumberjack-like plaid. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "turn switch" | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | About half a parent high in the bookcase is your favorite toy. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest.

Floyd | Floyd | "Is that the Boston cop show?" Becca asks. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe climbs down off of the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says, "Don't mention it. If you talk on the channel, the transcript doesn't have to be edited later on." | |||
| Bruce says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | You so can't go that way. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh my God, who has time for TV?" Lisa asks. "Besides, I can't watch Floyd | something that violent when Cassie's up, even if she'd let me leave her Floyd | alone. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe drops the plastic cup and she picks up a much-loved kangaroo. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | There are Becca's legs, they are by the rocking chair. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a teething ring, a plush book, a teeny squeezy book, Floyd | and a smooth rock here. Floyd | Floyd | The mom says, "I don't have a lot of time for TV either. Besides Sesame Floyd | Street, that is," and the parents all laugh, why are they dissing the Floyd | Street?

Floyd | Floyd | Behind the Loveseat Floyd | Back here is the back of the loveseat casting a shadow over you, it is Floyd | kind of cold. You can go south and east. You could go west but there is Floyd | totally a door in your way. You could go north in the hall but there is Floyd | a baby gate in the way there. Floyd | Floyd | "You're not one of those no-TV nuts, are you?" Lisa says all Floyd | sharpishly. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline smiles at RootShell and says, "Bom dia." | |||

Floyd | Floyd | By the Cabinet Floyd | The cabinet that is also like an endtable for the loveseat and the Floyd | couch is here. You can go north back to behind the loveseat.

Floyd | You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The cabinet is wood like a lot of other furniture in here because the Floyd | parents like wood or something, maybe they are tree huggers but only if Floyd | the trees have been cut down and planed and shaped. Anyway it has this Floyd | door in it which is closed. Floyd | Floyd | "Whatever," Lisa sniffs, and the mom says, "Remember, watch what you Floyd | say about religion, politics, and TV."

Floyd | Floyd | Then Parry sees you and her with the remote and says, "That reminds me, Floyd | I'd like to put in a Baby Feynman video for Watson." There is then this Floyd | big pregnant pause before Parry says, "Uh, if that's okay." Floyd | Floyd | The mom is quiet, she is probably communicating with the other moms Floyd | using only her eyes and mom-telepathy because wasn't Parry anti-TV for Floyd | kids before? And then she says, "Sure!" So Parry heads over to the TV Floyd | and drags the baby swing out of the way of the TV and over by the Floyd | bookcase and turns the TV on. Floyd | Floyd | Watson looks at the instruction booklet and his hands move so fast they Floyd | are almost blurry and the dayglo blox go together and suddenly Watson Floyd | has built a wall.

Floyd | The parents call this a poosh stick because they think you are stupid Floyd | and need baby talk, it is really a push stick. It is a stick for Floyd | pushing things around.

Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it looms over you. Floyd | Floyd | The mom[3] is playing with you and is all excited about it. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a squishy ball, a plush book, and your favorite toy Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | You eye your favorite toy and the mom sees you doing it and scoops it Floyd | up. "No, no, we're going to try pulling up!" She is all the time trying Floyd | to build your character or something. She waves the toy at you. "Look! Floyd | Look where I'm putting it!" She drops the toy on the footstool where Floyd | you can't see it unless you're all pulled up, that is just no fair[4]. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "No, I'm afraid it's late. But hooray for finishing!" | |||
| RootShell says (to jaq), "i was here about 8 hours ago ;) about 4 hour before the right time, but then i left i returned and you all were playing" | ||||

Floyd | Crying is a great baby way of manipulating parents. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 3" | ||||
Floyd | The protagonist doesn't really think of the parents in a possessive Floyd | way. They're just people who provide food and toys. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to RootShell), "Aw, sorry to hear that you missed the beginning." | |||
| inky asks, "Sargent finished this in, I dunno, a year and a half past the introcomp it was released in? or two years?" | ||||
| inky says, "so it didn't make the deadline" | ||||
| RootShell says (to jac), "will not meet the next one on next sunday :)" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 4" | ||||
Floyd | The major conceit of the game is that the player is a baby, and must Floyd | interact with the world as a baby. That leaves the player with a Floyd | limited range of actions. Sadly, unless you've become a parent Floyd | recently, you've probably forgotten what it's like to be a baby and Floyd | what a baby does. That's why the game has to re-teach you babies' Floyd | limited actions, like pulling up[5]. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 5" | ||||
Floyd | By the way, you should wait for a while and frustrate the mom. Floyd | Floyd | > | RootShell says, "mett = miss hehehehe" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "wait" | ||||
Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "wait" | ||||
Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The mom sits there looking at you all expectantly. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sargent says, "1.5 yrs -- 6 mos past deadline" | |||

Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "wait" | ||||
Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The mom points to the footstool. "Give it a try! Go ahead! Pull up!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The mom sighs and is all "You were pulling up just yesterday[6]." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 6" | ||||
Floyd | Sometimes it seems that kids exist to prove their parents don't know Floyd | what they're talking about. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "and how old is the protagonist? six months!" | |||
| inky says, "ok, maybe not" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pull up on stool" | ||||
Floyd | You pull yourself up and it is one hand and another hand which is hard Floyd | because the footstool is all unstable and rocks some but then you are Floyd | all on your feet so yay you! And now that you are up here you can see Floyd | your favorite toy on the footstool. Floyd | Floyd | The mom applauds, "Way to go!" She looks at her watch and is all Floyd | "Whoops! Playgroup's about to arrive. You hang out here while mom goes Floyd | and gets ready." She stands up and steps over all of those pillows and Floyd | you are stuck here now by yourself[7]. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to RootShell), "Well, I won't be here next week, actually. Will have to find someone to keep the transcript for me. Probably maga." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 7" | ||||
Floyd | One of the fun things about parenthood is figuring out how to contain Floyd | your kids so you can run off and do chores or other necessary things Floyd | like World of Warcraft. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks (of inky), "He's 11 months old, right? The protagonist?" | |||
| inky says, "yeah, I don't actually have any idea" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x toy" | ||||
Floyd | This is the thing your aunt gave you[8] which is a super fun toy. It Floyd | has places to chew and places that are shiny and it rattles when you Floyd | shake it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to in), "hehehehe" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 8" | ||||
Floyd | Later your aunt will give you a thing you don't know what it is. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You cannot reach your favorite toy because you are standing and if you Floyd | let go with one hand you would just plop down before you could get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert asks, "Does anything say elevent specifically?" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "sit" | ||||
Floyd | You sit down on your diaper and it is good that it is all padded and Floyd | stuff. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "ok, I'm off again. later all!" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push stool" | ||||
| Ellison goes back to Squeamhurst.. | ||||
Floyd | You push on the footstool and it rocks and you pull on the footstool Floyd | and it rocks and then you hear stuff fall off it! But the stuff fell Floyd | outside the ring of pillows[9]. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 9" | ||||
Floyd | Babies are notorious for trying to pull up on things and instead Floyd | accidentally pushing them or knocking them over. This initial footstool Floyd | puzzle serves to introduce the push-on-things mechanic in a setting Floyd | where there's little else to do. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "hmm" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x pillows" | ||||
Floyd | The ring is a bunch of pillows and stuff piled around in a circle so Floyd | you can't go crawling away when the mom is all distracted. The whole Floyd | thing is taller than you even when you are sitting. Floyd | Floyd | Hey wait, what is Alfadog doing wedged in the pillows like that? Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "I wonder if this game would play more smoothly if, when you tried to take something while pulled up, you lost your balance and sat down" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x alfadog" | ||||
Floyd | It is Alfadog, your alphabet-knowing toy and it is all wedged under Floyd | some pillows. He is about as long as you and he is about as tall as you Floyd | when you are crawling, it is as if he is your brother only he is a dog. Floyd | He has this switch on him that makes him run and say the alphabet and Floyd | such. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "turn on alfadog" | ||||
Floyd | You are all fumbly on the switch but then you get it turned on and look Floyd | out! Alfadog lights up and his paws start digging in and he is barking Floyd | out "A! B! C! D! EFG!" It looks like he may be stuck under those Floyd | pillows but then "L! M! N! O! P!" pillows tumble out of his way and he Floyd | is free, zipping off to the east! You hear him winding down, "W X Y and Floyd | Zeee....." And now there is this big gap in the pillows to the east. Floyd | Floyd | That Alfadog is very powerful, he should probably be recalled[10]. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 10" | ||||
Floyd | A theme of the game is the PC getting others, both animate and Floyd | inanimate, to do his or her bidding. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "because in this last playthrough it seemed like people were usually trying to pick up stuff they could pick up if they were sitting on the ground" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x book" | ||||
Floyd | It is plush and the mom likes to read it to you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Hm, possibly." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | In Front of TV Floyd | The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and Floyd | it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo Floyd | equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle Floyd | of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play Floyd | in to the north[11]. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Alfadog and your favorite toy here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 11" | ||||
Floyd | I entered this first part of the game in Introcomp 2006. The Floyd | competition helped, as it really made me think about what I wanted the Floyd | player to see in the first few moves. I wanted to have a few simple Floyd | puzzles that nevertheless depended on baby-like actions, introduce the Floyd | writing style I'd chosen, and have a very clear direction. The last was Floyd | critical -- without that throughline, players are increasingly likely Floyd | to type QUIT. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up. Floyd | Floyd | There is a ding-dong and the mom comes clattering in all "Hang on! I'm Floyd | coming!" She opens the door and there is Marion Kinmundy here for Floyd | playgroup. She is carrying that little red haired girl Zoe who started Floyd | coming to playgroup a couple of whiles ago. Zoe sees your favorite toy Floyd | and her eyes light up. Floyd | Floyd | The mom must be psychic or something because she whirls around and Floyd | snatches up your favorite toy. "Oh, no," she says with a little laugh, Floyd | "we're not having you two fight over this thing again. I'll tuck it Floyd | away where it'll be safe." And Marion laughs too, which is cool, that Floyd | way they don't notice you and the little red haired girl glaring at Floyd | each other. Floyd | Floyd | She wants your toy? And the mom wants to lock the toy away? Bring it Floyd | on[12]. | Tale says, "this seems to be a general 'problem' with ClubFloyd: people overlooking stuff because it happens to fast." | |||
| RootShell says (to inky), "the answer when we tried to do so was good, if you were to fall everytime you tried to pick stuff whe pulledup it would be annoying i guess" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 12" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Chapter 1 Floyd | Playtime Floyd | Floyd | Right behind Marion and Zoe the little red haired girl is Lisa who is Floyd | Cassie's mom. Lisa is carrying Cassie all carefully but Cassie is Floyd | squirming to get down. "Hi Farina, hi Marion--hang on Cassie, mommy's Floyd | going to put you down," Lisa says and then she steps over the baby gate Floyd | and dumps Cassie by the couch to the south of you. Floyd | Floyd | Meanwhile the mom is putting all the pillows back on the couch and Floyd | loveseat. As she finishes she asks Marion, "Can I put this toy in Zoe's Floyd | backpack for now?" Marion is all "Sure!" as she puts Zoe on the floor Floyd | over by the rocking chair and sits on the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by ten points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 12" | ||||
Floyd | I like games with an antagonist. Wandering around exploring is fine, Floyd | but it's nice to be working against someone. With that said, I wanted Floyd | Zoe to start out passively working against you, in effect pursuing her Floyd | own separate agenda, only working directly against you as the game went Floyd | on. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says (to RootShell), "right, that's what I'm wondering" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x toy" | ||||
Floyd | Your toy is inside Zoe's backpack so you cannot really see it. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "since it's *also* a pain to have to say >SIT DOWN and then >TAKE whatever" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x backpack" | ||||
Floyd | Zoe's backpack has all these cute bears sewed on it. Clearly her mom Floyd | Marion picked it out, it does not reek of evil like it would if Zoe had Floyd | chosen it. It is closed so you can't see what's in it though you know Floyd | your toy is in there somewhere. It is next to the gliding rocking chair Floyd | to the northwest[13]. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 13" | ||||
Floyd | Lucian Smith suggested that you be able to examine things in other Floyd | "rooms" within the large living room. It was an extremely handy Floyd | addition to the game, since then I could see where things were and go Floyd | to them. Shame it was such a headache to implement. I managed to get it Floyd | working for this small game, but I'd hate to try it for a larger game. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "so the question is which is more intuitive" | |||
| DavidW says, "I'm very glad the examine in other rooms feature was added." | ||||
| RootShell says (to inky,), "maybe you could do like the locked doors issue, (first unlocking the door with key)..." | inky says, "(first sitting on your butt)" | |||
| inky says (to DavidW), "yeah" | ||||
| Tale says (to Could), "you make this commentary thing as an I7 extension? It'd be cool if more games had it." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tv" | ||||
Floyd | The TV is dark and that makes you sad. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| RootShell says (to inky), ">GET TOY (fisrt you seat down)" | ||||
| RootShell says (to inky), "well sort of :)" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "nw" | inky says (to RootShell), "also, you'll want to go back to putting ; first" | |||
Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | A backpack with bears on and your favorite toy in it is shoved behind Floyd | the rocking chair next to the wall[14]. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a smooth rock here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe is sitting in a fog of grump on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | There is a ding-dong! and the mom goes and opens the front door. It is Floyd | Becca and her son Jemison and some strange guy is there holding Watson Floyd | Mason. "Come on in, everyone," the mom says. She turns to the strange Floyd | guy, "I'm glad you could make it, Parry[15]." Floyd | Floyd | Parry shrugs and smiles and says, "I always wondered what everyone did Floyd | during playgroup." Floyd | Floyd | "Drink mimosas[16]!" Becca says over her shoulder to Parry and there is Floyd | polite laughter and Parry smiles like he is kinda unsure about all of Floyd | this. Floyd | Floyd | "Why don't you put Watson in here with the others?" the mom asks and Floyd | Parry nods. He ends up putting Watson by Jemison over by the loveseat. Floyd | Then all the standing adults sit down with Parry sitting near you so Floyd | now I guess they are sitting adults. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 14" | ||||
Floyd | Admiral Jota is a madman and managed to break the backpack puzzle by Floyd | the judicious use of TAKE ALL, requiring me to fiddle the rules Floyd | regarding what's included in ALL. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 15" | ||||
Floyd | Parry's the foil to the rest of the group. He's an outsider and can Floyd | thus make comments that are probably closer to your reactions to the Floyd | groups' comments. Plus he does things the more experienced moms don't. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 16" | ||||
Floyd | While the playmates' parents aren't based on specific people, the bit Floyd | about mimosas is based on an actual playgroup Misty went to. Floyd | Floyd | > | RootShell says, "this is very confusing... it would be better if more like IRC :)" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "open backpack" | ||||
Floyd | You would but Parry is rocking, rocking, rocking, and you can't reach Floyd | under the rocking chair to get to the backpack while he is rocking, Floyd | rocking, rocking. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sargent says, "it's a footnotes extension that I'm polishing and releasing shortly" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x parry" | ||||
Floyd | That is Parry Mason, he is Watson Mason's dad. Normally Watson's mom Floyd | Shari is here but she must be somewhere else so that is why Parry is Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "sw" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Those are Becca's legs by the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a rattly car here. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Watson are here. Jemison watches you watching him. Watson Floyd | sits all sad and dumpy on the floor. [17] Floyd | Floyd | Watson gingerly picks up the rattly car[18]. When Jemison sees Watson Floyd | take the rattly car, he gets all excited and he starts watching the Floyd | rattly car and thus Watson[19]. Floyd | Floyd | Watson puts down the rattly car. Jemison suddenly sees that the rattly Floyd | car is available and he scoops it up. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Nice." | |||
| Bert says, "I'm actually pretty surprised there wasn't already a footnotes extension." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 17" | ||||
Floyd | Many turns there's a heck of a lot of text printed as parents talk and Floyd | playmates romp around. To cut down on how many paragraphs are printed, Floyd | I collated the descriptions of the playmates into a single paragraph. Floyd | Floyd | > | RootShell says, "i dont know you have noticed but DavidW is playing again ;)" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Also, afk for a bit, but I've still got a transcript running and will check back later." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 18" | ||||
Floyd | I randomized the babies' behavior and action descriptions to keep Floyd | things fresh. It also made debugging a nightmare. NPCs suck; randomized Floyd | NPCs suck more. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 19" | ||||
Floyd | Babies are all the time becoming fascinated by what other babies do. Floyd | Stupid babies. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "hee hee" | |||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west except that a baby gate is in the way. There is the rocking Floyd | chair to the east as well, that is always fun. Floyd | Floyd | The legs of Marion dangle from the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x marion" | ||||
Floyd | Grr, Marion Kinmundy. She is Zoe's mom. Grr, Zoe. What is weird is that Floyd | Marion is all nice while Zoe is pure evil. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "se" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored Floyd | there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east Floyd | and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding Floyd | rocking chair to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a plush book here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take book" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up and it takes two hands. Floyd | Floyd | You can hear Zoe squalling all loudly by the gliding rocking chair. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Those are Becca's legs by the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Watson are here. Jemison is playing with the rattly car. Floyd | Watson sits all sad and dumpy on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | Watson pulls up on Becca who says "Watch the pants, kid!" and she Floyd | laughs and puts him back on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop book" | ||||
Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | Watson pulls up on Becca who says "Watch the pants, kid!" and she Floyd | laughs and puts him back on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take book" | ||||
Floyd | When Jemison sees you take the plush book, his eyes light up and he Floyd | starts watching the plush book and thus yourself. Floyd | Floyd | Watson gingerly picks up the rattly car. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | Parry's feet keep leaving the floor as he rocks. Floyd | Floyd | A backpack with bears on and your favorite toy in it is shoved behind Floyd | the rocking chair next to the wall. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a smooth rock here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe has hold of a much-loved kangaroo loosely. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly Floyd | at the plush book. Floyd | Floyd | "Say, how's Watson's rash doing?" Lisa asks Parry. Floyd | Floyd | Parry clears his throat. "He's much better, thanks."[20] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | All of the parents' conversations are exaggerated versions of Floyd | conversations and arguments that parents really have. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put book in mouth" | ||||
Floyd | (the plush book in mouth) Floyd | You shove the plush book in your mouth and start chewing on it and that Floyd | feels good. Floyd | Floyd | The mom says, "Did you use zinc oxide cream?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pull up on parry" | ||||
Floyd | Even though you are chewing on the plush book it is big enough that you Floyd | still have to keep it in your hands and so you can't pull up while you Floyd | have it, if only the plush book were smaller you would have your hands Floyd | free. Floyd | Floyd | "In a roundabout way," Parry says, "We used Boudreaux's butt Floyd | paste[21]." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe looks at the much-loved kangaroo and she sighs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop book" | ||||
Floyd | (popping the plush book out of your mouth first) Floyd | When you drop the plush book Jemison is all over that and he snatches Floyd | it up. Floyd | Floyd | "Ew," Becca laughs, "that is the grossest name for a product." Floyd | Floyd | Watson wanders in from the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | > | RootShell says, "waves goodbye to everyone... I really enjoyed this new experience (at least new to me), and will for sure return next sunday!

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x stone" | ||||
Floyd | The mom found this one one of your walks, well it wasn't really a walk, Floyd | more like the mom driving you around in a stroller, anyway she found Floyd | this rock and gave it to you.

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take stone" | ||||
Floyd | When Jemison sees you pick up the smooth rock, he gets all excited and Floyd | he gets rid of a plush book and starts watching the smooth rock and Floyd | thus yourself.

Floyd | As soon as you have pulled up on the gliding rocking chair Parry looks Floyd | down and says "Hey, there, you want to be picked up?" and he lifts you Floyd | into his lap and stops rocking. If you were on the ground you could get Floyd | to the backpack now. And then Jemison pulls up on the gliding rocking Floyd | chair and looks up at you and grunts softly. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | RootShell says, "bye all (it's 01:30 here and tomorrow is a working day)" | |||
| RootShell goes home. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop stone" | ||||
Floyd | (popping the smooth rock out of your mouth first) Floyd | The smooth rock falls into Parry's lap. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe takes the much-loved kangaroo and shakes it half-heartedly. Floyd | Floyd | Watson picks up the plush book. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "squirm" | ||||
Floyd | You wriggle and fuss a bit and Parry says, "Okay, down you go," and he Floyd | gently lowers you to the floor. He then is all "And now it's your turn" Floyd | and he picks Jemison up[23]. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 23" | ||||
Floyd | This is the first example of the ongoing theme of using other people to Floyd | do your bidding (assuming Alfadog doesn't count). Floyd | Floyd | > | Tale says, "Don't worry about that. I have to drive to school in less than 4 hours." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "open backpack" | ||||
Floyd | When you open the backpack all you can see in it is this white onesie Floyd | that is totally in your way. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe sees you open that backpack and she gets agitated and tosses the Floyd | much-loved kangaroo aside. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "how'd we solve the onesie puzzle?" | |||
| Brad goes home. | inky says, "take the onesie, then when Marion starts messing with it, give something tor Zoe" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take onsie" | ||||
Floyd | [onsie -> onesie] Floyd | You pull on the onesie and it comes part of the way out of the backpack Floyd | and then it gets hung on the backpack zipper. Great. Now it is blocking Floyd | the backpack and it is also stuck[24]. Floyd | Floyd | Watson puts the plush book down. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 24" | ||||
Floyd | Babies have this unerring sense of what they shouldn't be playing with Floyd | and a nearly-unstoppable drive to mess with things they shouldn't be Floyd | touching. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take book" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up and it takes two hands. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe shrieks angrily and bounces up and down and flails her arms in the Floyd | general direction of the backpack that you opened. That makes Marion Floyd | sigh and she says, "Parry, if you don't mind?" So Marion reaches the Floyd | backpack under the rocking chair and she sees the white onesie stuck in Floyd | the backpack. "Geez," she says and pulls out a plastic cup and dumps it Floyd | in Zoe's lap. Zoe gets all upset but Marion says, "Shh, Zoe, be calm, I Floyd | can't fix the backpack if you're fussing." Parry says, "Here, I'll Floyd | empty out the backpack and fix that for you" but Marion says "No, Floyd | thanks," and she sits down and starts trying to get the onesie out of Floyd | the backpack. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "Okay, down you go" to Jemison who scrabbles around and Floyd | grabs the smooth rock. Parry gently lowers Jemison to the floor and Floyd | starts rocking again.

Floyd | (the plush book to Zoe) Floyd | Zoe shrieks at you and shoves the plush book out of your hands and hits Floyd | at you. Marion sees that and she reacts in a flash and says "Parry, Floyd | here," and shoves the backpack at Parry who takes it. "Can you get that Floyd | onesie out of the way?" Parry just nods and digs in the backpack and Floyd | pulls out your favorite toy and dumps it in his lap! Then he starts Floyd | tugging the onesie this way and that to free it from the implacable Floyd | jaws of the backpack zipper. Meanwhile Marion shushes Zoe before Floyd | sitting back on the loveseat[25]. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "Okay, down you go," and he gently lowers you to the floor, Floyd | right next to Zoe. Zoe looks over and sees what you have in your hands Floyd | and she goes totally nuts, she is shrieking and waving her fists and if Floyd | she had Force powers you would totally be choked right now. Floyd | Floyd | And of course Zoe acting out gets Marion and the mom to pay attention Floyd | and Marion is all "Hey, hey, Zoe, calm down!" and the mom is all "Oh, Floyd | gosh, they managed to get that toy out of the backpack." So the jig is Floyd | up where by "the jig" I mean the toy and by "up" I mean going away. | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Chapter 2 Floyd | Snacktime Floyd | Floyd | And it's just like you expected. The mom scoops you and the toy up and Floyd | the two of you dangle in mid-air while she removes the baby gate by the Floyd | loveseat and goes around behind the loveseat. There's a cabinet back Floyd | there, she pushes down the baby lock at the top of the cabinet door and Floyd | opens the door and in goes your toy. Floyd | Floyd | You would be all into getting the toy back except everyone decides now Floyd | is the time to have a snack so a bunch of toys get piled in that small Floyd | open area in the living room and you and Zoe and Cassie and Watson and Floyd | Jemison are dragged into the kitchen and out comes the food. Floyd | Floyd | At the Table Floyd | Your high chair is not way super high since it only gets you up to the Floyd | level of the kitchen table but that is still pretty high. It lets you Floyd | see around the table which is better than when you are on the floor and Floyd | cannot even see the top of the table[26]. Floyd | Floyd | The mom is hovering around you. Floyd | Floyd | In front of you is this spoon full of food that the mom wants you to Floyd | eat. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see Becca, Parry, Lisa, and Marion here.

The cabinet door pops open and your Floyd | favorite toy rolls out and into your lap! Floyd | Floyd | Then you hear the crying. When you turn you see a very wet Zoe and a Floyd | very wet Jemison and the empty tumbler is next to them. Jemison takes Floyd | it like a toddler, he is fine, but Zoe is angry like a wet evil cat.

Floyd | Floyd | Chapter 3 Floyd | Picturetime Floyd | Floyd | It is like you are psychic because you don't get to keep the toy.

Several of the other parents are glaring at Floyd | Parry, he looks all sheepish. Floyd | Floyd | "Since the kids have to be changed anyway, let's take pictures!" Marion Floyd | says. Floyd | Floyd | "Sure, works for me," Lisa says, and just like that everyone is getting Floyd | their onesies taken off and instead they are being put in these Floyd | Halloween costumes, and that would be okay except your squid costume is Floyd | totally restrictive[35]. Floyd | Floyd | On the Couch Floyd | You don't get up on the couch all that much but now you are up here Floyd | with everyone else so you can have your pictures taken.

Floyd | Floyd | The mom is trying to get all of you together for a picture. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Watson and Cassie and Zoe are here. Jemison is all dressed Floyd | like a bumblebee.

There is then this Floyd | big pregnant pause before Parry says, "Uh, if that's okay." Floyd | Floyd | The mom is quiet, she is probably communicating with the other moms Floyd | using only her eyes and mom-telepathy[39] because wasn't Parry anti-TV Floyd | for kids before? And then she says, "Sure!" So Parry heads over to the Floyd | TV and drags the baby swing out of the way of the TV and over by the Floyd | bookcase and turns the TV on.

Floyd | When you cry again the mom says, "Shh. Calm down." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You have short arms, you can't reach your favorite toy from down here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe climbs down off of the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push toy with stick" | ||||
Floyd | The long stick is hard to control and the shelves keep getting in the Floyd | way. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe drops the plastic cup and she grabs a teething ring. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push zoe with stick" | ||||
Floyd | There is no way the parents will believe you had nothing to do with Floyd | hurting her, you'd better leave her alone for now. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "give stick to zoe" | ||||
Floyd | Zoe eyes you coldly, no way she is taking anything from you. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the medium plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop stick" | ||||
Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the tall plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "enter swing" | ||||
Floyd | You cannot get in the baby swing yourself, that is something the Floyd | parents do for you when they are bored of you or you are upset. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||||
Floyd | This time you add a lot of tremolo to your crying and the mom says, Floyd | "You're not going to calm down, are you, kiddo? Do you need the swing?" Floyd | Floyd | The mom asks the other parent people, "Do any of you have a suggestion Floyd | for a baby sitter?" W. T. F. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||||
Floyd | "Okay, kiddo, let's check you and make sure," the mom says and scoops Floyd | you up. "Diaper's okay. You're not hungry. To the swing!" You're Floyd | airlifted into the swing and the mom straps you in. She turns it on, Floyd | click click click, and then you are swinging really high. Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area (in the baby swing) Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | About half a parent high in the bookcase is your favorite toy. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a poosh stick, a plastic cup, a soft foam block, a Floyd | tall plastic block (on which is Zoe), a short plastic block, a medium Floyd | plastic block, a little doll, and a teeny squeezy book here. Floyd | Floyd | The mom goes on, "We've got a Christmas party to go to in a month or Floyd | so, and we've never used a babysitter before." No, really--W. T. F.??? Floyd | Floyd | The baby swing clicks and clacks as it swings really high, and the Floyd | whole world tilts and turns as you swing with it. At the top of the Floyd | swing you are way close to your toy. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe watches you swing back and forth, back and forth. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You stretch for the toy but it is just barely out of reach. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "Didn't you have luck with Susan, Lisa?" Susan, that's a Floyd | name that sounds okay. Floyd | Floyd | The baby swing clicks and clacks as it swings really high, and the Floyd | whole world tilts and turns as you swing with it. At the top of the Floyd | swing you are way close to your toy. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe watches you swing back and forth, back and forth. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You stretch for the toy but it is just barely out of reach. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa says, "I've used Susan two--no, three times. She said Cassie was Floyd | great." Lisa pauses all thoughtful like. "Maybe she was lying to get a Floyd | bigger tip." Floyd | Floyd | The baby swing clicks and clacks as it swings really high, and the Floyd | whole world tilts and turns as you swing with it. At the top of the Floyd | swing you are way close to your toy. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe watches you swing back and forth, back and forth. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You stretch for the toy but it is just barely out of reach. Floyd | Floyd | "I didn't think she was all that," Becca says. "I had her keep Zoe Floyd | once. Susan and Zoe didn't get along at all." This Susan is sounding Floyd | better all the time. Floyd | Floyd | The baby swing clicks and clacks as it swings really high, and the Floyd | whole world tilts and turns as you swing with it. At the top of the Floyd | swing you are way close to your toy. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe watches you swing back and forth, back and forth. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You stretch for the toy but it is just barely out of reach. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "You could have Susan visit ahead of time to look for any Floyd | problems." Floyd | Floyd | The baby swing clicks and clacks as it swings really high, and the Floyd | whole world tilts and turns as you swing with it. At the top of the Floyd | swing you are way close to your toy. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe watches you swing back and forth, back and forth. Floyd | Floyd | Parry comes wandering by with his water glass but he stops when he sees Floyd | you swinging. He looks at your favorite toy. He looks at you. He looks Floyd | at your toy. He looks at Zoe. He looks at how close you get to your Floyd | favorite toy. When he is all done with his looking he casually leans Floyd | against the bookcase and taps your toy. It totally falls a bit closer! Floyd | He winks at you and heads on by[41]. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 41" | ||||
Floyd | Since Parry had helped you accidentally in the first two sections, I Floyd | wanted him to help you directly in the third. Plus I figured he'd be on Floyd | the side of truth and justice -- yours. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | You stretch your arms but they are still too much like teeny T. Rex Floyd | arms so then you scrunch down in your swing and stretch out a leg and Floyd | as you swoop up again you just are able to kick the toy! It flies into Floyd | the air and onto your lap! But as you swing back Zoe leans over from Floyd | the tall block and swats at the toy and you swat at her and the upshot Floyd | is the toy goes flying again and it goes kerplunk into the playpen. Floyd | Floyd | This is the worst playdate ever. Floyd | Floyd | "I'll give her a call, then," the mom says. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "heh" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "out" | ||||
Floyd | You are way high in the baby swing and are all swinging, you are not Floyd | some stunt baby who is used to taking falls. Floyd | Floyd | The baby swing clicks and clacks as it swings really high, and the Floyd | whole world tilts and turns as you swing with it. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the medium plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | You look up and there is the mom, you are swinging toward her face and Floyd | away, toward and away. She turns off the swing and gets you down and Floyd | puts you on the floor before going back to her seat. Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | There is a big old baby swing all shoved up against the bookcase. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest. Floyd | Through the mesh you can see your favorite toy. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a poosh stick, a plastic cup, a soft foam block, a Floyd | tall plastic block, a short plastic block, a medium plastic block (on Floyd | which is Zoe), a little doll, and a teeny squeezy book here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take stick" | ||||
Floyd | You pick it up and it takes two hands. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push oval" | ||||
Floyd | You have short arms, you can't reach the top oval from down here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe climbs down off of the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push oval with stick" | ||||
Floyd | You get the poosh stick into position under the oval and push the oval Floyd | up with it and it goes up a bit and clicks but when you let go it drops Floyd | back into place. I guess you need to push up the oval at both ends of Floyd | the playpen at the same time. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe coughs and you look at her and she looks at you and you both look Floyd | at the top oval of the playpen. It is like you are communicating Floyd | telepathically and that communication is "I may despise you and all Floyd | that you stand for but I will work with you in order to lift the oval Floyd | and free the toy but after that it is every baby for him or herself." Floyd | So you nod and she nods and it is a deal[42]. Floyd | Floyd | Becca says, "That's a bad cough Zoe has. Is she getting sick?" but Floyd | Marion says, "No, she coughs like that sometimes to get attention." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the short plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 42" | ||||
Floyd | I like you having to team up with your antagonist, even if only for a Floyd | little while. Though it's not a perfect arrangement: try pushing the Floyd | oval with the poosh stick on the side where Zoe is. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push oval with stick" | ||||
Floyd | You move the stick into position to push the top oval and Zoe just Floyd | looks at you as if to say "this is the side of the oval I will be Floyd | pushing, get your own side." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the medium plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push oval with stick" | ||||
Floyd | You move the stick into position to push the top oval and Zoe just Floyd | looks at you as if to say "this is the side of the oval I will be Floyd | pushing, get your own side." Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gets onto the tall plastic block. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push oval with stick" | ||||
Floyd | You move the stick into position to push the top oval and nearly hit Floyd | Zoe on the nose, she looks down at you as if you are an idiot both for Floyd | nearly hitting her and for pushing the oval up on the side where she Floyd | already is. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe looks at you and coughs pointedly. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "sw" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored Floyd | there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east Floyd | and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding Floyd | rocking chair to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push oval with stick" | ||||
Floyd | You push on the oval with the poosh stick and at the same time Zoe Floyd | pushes her end of the oval and it clicks up and then half of it falls Floyd | down. That leaves the playpen all gaping open! Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "enter playpen" | ||||
Floyd | You get into the southwest part of the playpen. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa suddenly says, "Parry! Are you eating Cheerios?" Floyd | Floyd | Parry sounds all sheepish, "Yeah." Floyd | Floyd | Becca is all "I hope you don't mind crumbs all over your loveseat, Floyd | Farina," and everyone laughs but Parry. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You move to the other part of the playpen. Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area (in the northeast part of the playpen) Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | There is a big old baby swing all shoved up against the bookcase. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a plastic cup, a soft foam block, a tall plastic Floyd | block, a short plastic block, a medium plastic block, a little doll, Floyd | and a teeny squeezy book here. Floyd | Floyd | In the northeast part of the playpen you can see your favorite toy. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe has hold of a teething ring loosely. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe grabs your favorite toy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | Zoe sees you coming for the toy! She will not let you have it! Floyd | Floyd | Zoe runs off to the south with your toy! SHE HAS YOUR TOY! Floyd | Floyd | You hear this rattle jingle, it is Zoe playing with your toy! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You get out of the northeast part of the playpen. Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big Floyd | bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the Floyd | north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair.

Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You pick it up and it takes two hands. Floyd | Floyd | "Cassie is really pulling up well," the mom tells Lisa. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | There are Becca's legs, they are by the rocking chair. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a smooth rock, a plush book, and a much-loved kangaroo Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, thanks," Lisa says. "She's probably too good at pulling up and Floyd | climbing, to tell you the truth." Floyd | Floyd | You hear this rattle jingle, it is Zoe playing with your toy! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is Floyd | always fun. Floyd | Floyd | On the north pink striped loveseat is a cup of Cheerios. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Parry here. Floyd | Floyd | "We've been working on pulling up," the mom says, boy is she going to Floyd | be surprised by all the practice you're getting today. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push cheerios with stick" | ||||
Floyd | You reach up with the stick and whack the cup and all of these Cheerios Floyd | shower down around you in a big pile. Floyd | Floyd | It is as if the oxygen in the room goes foom like there was a flash Floyd | fire and suddenly there are all of these babies headed your way[43]. Floyd | Floyd | Becca snorts. "I love how all of you take credit for your kids' Floyd | development. Like you're the one pulling up." Floyd | Floyd | You hear this rattle jingle, it is Zoe playing with your toy! Floyd | Floyd | Cassie zips in from the south. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison comes in after Cassie. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "note 43" | ||||
Floyd | True story: at my son's first birthday party, he knocked over a small Floyd | cup of Cheerios, spilling them near my feet. Instantly, every baby at Floyd | the party crawled towards us, swarming around me. Floyd | Floyd | Cheerios are baby crack. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ha" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop stick" | ||||
Floyd | (tearing yourself away from the Cheerios) Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa says, "You're just annoyed that Jemison just sits there--" but Floyd | Becca keeps on talking, "So your kid pulls up or cruises or whatever. Floyd | Big deal!" Floyd | Floyd | You hear this rattle jingle, it is Zoe playing with your toy! Floyd | Floyd | Watson wanders in from the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x zoe" | ||||
Floyd | (tearing yourself away from the Cheerios) Floyd | Grr, Zoe Kinmundy. That little red-haired girl[44] has this ladybug Floyd | costume on, it is supposed to be cute but you are not fooled. Her red Floyd | hair is in pigtails, like that will fool anyone into thinking she is Floyd | nice. She has a death-grip on your favorite toy and a teething ring. Floyd | She is over by the TV to the east. Floyd | Floyd | Parry says, "Kids develop at different speeds. It's not as if I'll Floyd | still be helping Watson pull up when he goes to college." Floyd | Floyd | You hear this rattle jingle, it is Zoe playing with your toy! Floyd | Floyd | Jemison picks up some Cheerios and munches on them. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "se" | ||||
Floyd | (tearing yourself away from the Cheerios) Floyd | You have to push your way past Watson, Jemison, and Cassie thanks to Floyd | those Cheerios and that slows you down. Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is Floyd | where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored Floyd | there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east Floyd | and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding Floyd | rocking chair to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast. The Floyd | playpen is all open. Floyd | Floyd | "As long as Zoe doesn't fall too far behind, I'm not worried," Marion Floyd | says. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | In Front of TV Floyd | The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and Floyd | it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo Floyd | equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle Floyd | of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play Floyd | in to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe has your toy! ZOE HAS YOUR TOY! Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah," Parry says. "It won't bother me if Watson is like many boys and Floyd | is slower to talk." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | Zoe sees you coming for the toy! She will not let you have it! Floyd | Floyd | Zoe runs off to the west with your toy! Floyd | Floyd | "As long as Cassie is ahead of where she's supposed to be, I won't Floyd | worry either," Lisa says. Floyd | Floyd | Now on TV all of these stars are gathering together, it is like they Floyd | are having a big star party. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is Floyd | always fun. Floyd | Floyd | Those sure are a bunch of Cheerios spilled everywhere. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a poosh stick and Parry here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe and Watson and Jemison and Cassie are here. Zoe has your toy! ZOE Floyd | HAS YOUR TOY! Watson is gloomy in his sad homemade bat costume. Jemison Floyd | is all dressed like a bumblebee. Cassie is dressed in this pumpkin Floyd | costume, it is adorable. Floyd | Floyd | Cassie grabs a handful of Cheerios and inhales them. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||||
Floyd | Zoe tries to crawl away, but there are babies and Cheerios and it is a Floyd | big train-wreck and she cannot get away! Floyd | Floyd | You lunge forward and yank on the toy and Zoe is all distracted by Floyd | Cheerios and the toy pops out of her evil sweaty grasp! You have your Floyd | toy! Floyd | Floyd | Zoe screws up her face and bursts into these loud wails, they are so Floyd | terribly loud. She shoves at Cassie who also starts crying and soon Floyd | just about everyone is crying except you, ha ha, they are such babies. Floyd | Floyd | Marion says, "I was afraid we were staying too late past Zoe's naptime. Floyd | Farina, everyone, it's been fun, and glad you could come, Parry. See Floyd | everyone next week." Hands come down and the squalling Zoe zips up into Floyd | the air and into Marion's arms. Soon all of the babies are going Floyd | skywards, parentwards, and out-the-doorwards. Floyd | Floyd | With them all gone the air kinda leaks out of you, it has been a long Floyd | playdate. The mom gathers you and your favorite toy up. "C'mon, kid, Floyd | let's get you to bed before you completely pass out." But you do not Floyd | need naps, does she not understand that? Floyd | Floyd | Though your crib is nice and soft and your favorite toy chimes a bit as Floyd | you curl around it and your teeny eyelids are so heavy. Floyd | Floyd | So...heavy....
