Below is a transcript of Snack Time!, written by "Hardy the Bulldog" and Renee Choba. Snack Time! was originally released as part of the 2008 IF Competition, where it took sixth place. It went on to garner Xyzzy nominations for Best NPCs and Best Individual NPC, and took the Xyzzy for Best Individual PC. 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 | Floyd | You've been vegging out in front of that flickering screen for hours, Floyd | your pet by your side. Now your complaining stomach sets you up on your Floyd | feet, and on a mission. | Jacqueline says, "Oh man, that is a gripping prologue I can totally relate to." | |||

Floyd | Floyd | Snack Time! Floyd | An Interactive Break for a Bite Floyd | by Hardy the Bulldog (with help from Renee Choba) Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 080929 / Inform 7 build 5U92 (I6/v6.31 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | (For more information please type ABOUT) Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | This is the room where you sit a lot. Well, you sleep here sometimes Floyd | too. But there is a different room that is just for sleeping, and it is Floyd | to the north. There's another room to the west. It's the room with the Floyd | food. That is a good room. Floyd | Floyd | Even though this is the sitting room you can't sit on everything. There Floyd | are a lot of "no"s here, like the thing you can't scratch, and the tall Floyd | thing and the four-legged thing that isn't alive but that stands still Floyd | with the box of light on its back. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet is here, all stretched out on the long soft thing and snoring. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x pet" | ||||
Floyd | He's not very hairy, poor thing, so he has to cover up to stay warm. Floyd | But he is good at tricks like standing up on his hind legs and putting Floyd | together tasty foods. Floyd | Floyd | Right now he's sleeping with his arm hanging over the side of the long Floyd | soft thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||||
Floyd | You're short and stocky, and, to be honest, rather hairy. You're also Floyd | rather hungry. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Very cute." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tall thing" | ||||
Floyd | It almost could touch the ceiling if it would stand on its hind legs Floyd | which it doesn't seem to be able to do. Maybe if it weren't weighed Floyd | down with all that stuff it holds. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bookcase" | ||||
Floyd | It almost could touch the ceiling if it would stand on its hind legs Floyd | which it doesn't seem to be able to do. Maybe if it weren't weighed Floyd | down with all that stuff it holds. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x can't scratch" | ||||
Floyd | Well, really you can't scratch any of the things inside the house. But Floyd | your pet seemed especially emphatic about this one when you tried it. Floyd | Which is a shame, because it smells like something to scratch. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell can't scratch" | ||||
Floyd | It smells itchy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x couch" | ||||
Floyd | On the long soft thing are a bunch of smaller soft things that together Floyd | make up a comfy place for sitting or sleeping. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "heh" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x table" | ||||
Floyd | If this were alive, it would be one patient animal to stand so still Floyd | all the time. But you're pretty sure it's not alive. Anyway you've Floyd | never seen it move, even when the box of light it holds gets really Floyd | loud and unpleasant. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x lamp" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Makes total sense, smelling itchy." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tv" | ||||
Floyd | Sometimes the box sleeps but a lot of the time it is loud and noisy and Floyd | bright. Sometimes you've seen things like the outside inside it or Floyd | yummy-looking food or even little dogs in there. But everything is the Floyd | wrong size and doesn't smell right, so you're not sure what that's Floyd | about. Floyd | Floyd | Right now it looks like some little people inside are yapping at each Floyd | other. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I haven't figured out the smelling itchy thing." | |||
| inky says, "dogs? spoilers" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x armchair" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | Right now you aren't carrying anything. (It's not like you need a lot Floyd | of stuff, anyway.) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||||
Floyd | You're short and stocky, and, to be honest, rather hairy. You're also Floyd | rather hungry. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "sleep" | ||||
Floyd | You're hungry now, remember? Not sleepy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "eat pet" | ||||
Floyd | That's not tasty. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Kitchen is west" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Sure it is." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I meant, sure the pet is tasty, not sure the kitchen is west." | ||||
| DavidW says, "heh" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "I suspect we need to wake the pet, don't we?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I mean, we can go check it out, I guess." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Not sure" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Food Room Floyd | Food room, glorious food room! Floyd | Floyd | Your bowl for food and water is here, but that's only the beginning. Floyd | There's also a lot of secret places where your pet keeps food and Floyd | things that go with food and things that make food better. There's a Floyd | thing that gets hot and a box that stays cold, and that is your Floyd | favorite because you know there is always food inside there. A cloth Floyd | hangs down from the door of the cold box. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "pull cloth" | ||||
Floyd | This is a good trick! Floyd | Floyd | You pull on the cloth with your teeth and back up as the door opens. Floyd | Inside you can see various leftovers, some jars, some sandwich fixings Floyd | and one shiny can. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x shiny can" | ||||
Floyd | It's shiny and filled with some liquid that your pet really likes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x beer" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "mm... beer" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x pop" | ||||
Floyd | It's shiny and filled with some liquid that your pet really likes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "read pop" | Jacqueline says, "Oh, darn." | |||
Floyd | It's shiny and filled with some liquid that your pet really likes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x leftovers" | ||||
Floyd | Sometimes your pet makes something and saves some of it in the cold box Floyd | to see how long it takes to grow fuzzy stuff on it. It's an interesting Floyd | experiment, but not much good to you when you are hungry. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "take sandwich fixings" | ||||
Floyd | All the food in the cold box is up too high for you or closed away. Floyd | Looks like you will need your pet to help you get a snack. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "That is way too good a dog." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x cloth" | ||||
Floyd | This cloth is wrapped around part of the cold box door that sticks out Floyd | for pulling. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "close cold box" | ||||
Floyd | You push the door with your nose and close the cold box. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x nose" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Wake him?" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bowl" | ||||
Floyd | Your bowl has two sides, one for food and one for water. Right now both Floyd | spots are empty. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I suppose so." | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | Your pet is here, all stretched out on the long soft thing and snoring. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "wake pet" | ||||
Floyd | That's a good idea. Maybe if you make some noise or disturb him somehow Floyd | he would wake up. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push pet" | ||||
Floyd | You tuck your head up under your pet and push back and forth to shake Floyd | him. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet twitches a little and stirs, then is still again. It's a start Floyd | at waking him up. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| TJSay says (to Floyd), "bark" | ||||
Floyd | You try a few short, sharp barks. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet gets one eye open and half-heartedly pets at you. You're Floyd | making progress. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "bark" | ||||
Floyd | You try a few short, sharp barks. Floyd | Floyd | Hmm, your pet seems to have turned that into part of his dream or Floyd | something, because he sure didn't move this time when you barked. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push pet" | ||||
Floyd | You tuck your head up under your pet and push back and forth to shake Floyd | him. Floyd | Floyd | Hmm, your pet seems to have turned that into part of his dream or Floyd | something, because he sure didn't move this time when you shook him. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "bite him" | ||||
Floyd | You love your pet too much to bite him! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "lick pet" | ||||
Floyd | You love on your pet with some little licks. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet shifts and stretches, blinking. He moves around until he is Floyd | mostly sitting up. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey Hardy," he mumbles. Floyd | Floyd | It might take a little more to get him up and moving, but at least now Floyd | his eyes are open! Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by ten points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push pet" | ||||
Floyd | You tuck your head up under your pet and push back and forth to shake Floyd | him. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet pushes you away. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "bark" | ||||
Floyd | You try a few short, sharp barks. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet says, "Shh, Hardy, it's OK." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||||
Floyd | You lean back on your haunches, ready yourself, and... jump! Sure, it Floyd | was just a little jump, but it's not like you're a rabbit or something Floyd | jumpy like that. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a trick you know. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| TJSay says (to Floyd), "whine" | ||||
Floyd | You have tried many times and many ways to get your pet to understand Floyd | you. But no matter how you vocalize, he just doesn't get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pull pet" | ||||
Floyd | You carefully use your teeth to get a hold of your pet's arm and pull Floyd | it towards you. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet pulls away from you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea is gonna get back baby bad balls to you, love, cretin. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | Jacqueline says, "Okay, now bite him." | |||
Floyd | Floyd | Food Room Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | Your pet is here, blinking and staring, not yet fully awake. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea arrives, ready to play with the toys. | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Food Room Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take bowl" | ||||
Floyd | The bowl is set up in a frame to make it just as tall as your face. The Floyd | frame makes it easier to eat and drink from, but it also makes it heavy Floyd | and stuck in one place. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | Your pet is here, blinking and staring, not yet fully awake. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "lick pet" | ||||
Floyd | You love on your pet with some little licks. Floyd | Floyd | He smiles down at you and gives you a little head pat. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "hm" | |||
| TJSay says (to Floyd), "give bowl to pet" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I wanted to bring the bowl or drag the pet." | |||
| DavidW says (to TJSay), "We couldn't take the bowl" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask pet for food" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask pet for couch" | ||||
Floyd | You have tried many times and many ways to get your pet to understand Floyd | you. But no matter how you vocalize, he just doesn't get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "get on couch" | ||||
Floyd | You climb up unto the long soft thing, happy that it is low enough for Floyd | you to get on all by yourself. Floyd | Floyd | On the long soft thing are a bunch of smaller soft things that together Floyd | make up a comfy place for sitting or sleeping. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x cushions" | ||||
Floyd | These smaller soft things make up the long soft thing. Sometimes they Floyd | must get hungry because they try to eat things that get left on the Floyd | long soft thing. Sometimes they get separated from the long soft thing. Floyd | But mostly they just all hang out together. They must be friends. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "sleep" | ||||
Floyd | You're hungry now, remember? Not sleepy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take cushion" | ||||
Floyd | You tug and pull at the little soft things until finally one breaks Floyd | free from the bunch. As you dislodge it, something clatters to the Floyd | floor. Ah ha! You've found the magic wand! Those little soft things Floyd | were trying to eat it! Floyd | Floyd | "So that's where that got away to," says your pet, snatching up the Floyd | magic wand. He points it at the box of light and makes it even louder. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | You'll have to get off the long soft thing first. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "down" | ||||
Floyd | You get off the long soft thing. Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | Your pet is here, staring at the box of light, holding on tight to the Floyd | magic wand. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Food Room Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop cushion" | ||||
Floyd | You release your hold and let the square soft thing fall down. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | Your pet is here, staring at the box of light, holding on tight to the Floyd | magic wand. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x wand" | ||||
Floyd | A magical, bumpy thing your pet uses to control the box of light. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take wand" | ||||
Floyd | Your pet likes to be in charge of the box of light. You don't have a Floyd | chance with it as long as he's around. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "drat" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "look behind tv" | ||||
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to look. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tv" | ||||
Floyd | Sometimes the box sleeps but a lot of the time it is loud and noisy and Floyd | bright. Sometimes you've seen things like the outside inside it or Floyd | yummy-looking food or even little dogs in there. But everything is the Floyd | wrong size and doesn't smell right, so you're not sure what that's Floyd | about. Floyd | Floyd | Right now it looks like some little people inside are yapping at each Floyd | other. Floyd | Floyd | > | TJSay asks, "What was north and south?" | |||
| DavidW says, "North is bedroom" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I don't think there's an east or south exit, but I haven't been exhaustive." | ||||
| DavidW asks, "Should we check out the bedroom?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Sleeping Room Floyd | Most of the time when you are in here it is dark and quiet because that Floyd | is the best way to sleep and this is the room made for sleeping. There Floyd | is a high bed here that is not your bed although it is where you sleep Floyd | usually to keep your pet company. The sitting room is south of here and Floyd | the room with the water is to the west. Floyd | Floyd | Your low bed is here, looking all soft and cushy. Floyd | Floyd | Dino is here! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x dino" | ||||
Floyd | It's your chewy dinosaur friend. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "look under high bed" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "eat dino" | ||||
Floyd | You stick your head under the bed for a closer look and discover... a Floyd | sock! Your pet has probably been looking for this, since socks usually Floyd | stick together. You wonder why this one ran away. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | That's not tasty. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "take sock" | ||||
Floyd | You snatch up the sock with your mouth and hold on tight. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x high bed" | ||||
Floyd | The high bed is pretty comfy. It is up high because your pet has a hard Floyd | time getting all the way down to the floor and back up again. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "heh" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x low bed" | ||||
Floyd | The low bed is round and soft and meant to make you comfy and cozy Floyd | after you turn around in it three times and lie down. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "turn around" | ||||
Floyd | You run around in a circle for a bit in a mad chase for your tail. But Floyd | you can't quite get it. You never can. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "West must be the bathroom." | |||
| DavidW asks, "What should we do with the sock? Give it to our pet? Or flush it down the toilet?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "ha" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I was thinking we might use it to our advantage." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I was thinking we give it to him but not let go, and pull him into the kitchen." | ||||
| DavidW says, "yes, but how is the question" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I am sure that will fail, but that is my idea." | ||||
| DavidW says, "hm. Okay. It sounds like it might work . Try it." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I will be shocked, but okay." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Use 'show', not 'give'" | ||||

Floyd | You look ridiculous waving the sock. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "chew sock" | ||||
Floyd | When you were younger, you used to chew on everything. Now you are more Floyd | discriminate, saving your chewing for a few special things. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell sock" | ||||
Floyd | It smells kinda clean. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "yeah, sure." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "heehee" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "(Eating now... harder to type...)" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I am sorry my sock idea did not pan out." | ||||
| DavidW says, "A lone sock. Under the bed. Smells *clean*. To a *dog*." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah" | ||||
| DavidW says, "well, there's other uses for socks." | ||||
| Allen arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | DavidW says, "I played one game where I had to put honey, then buttons on a sock to make a sock puppet." | |||
| inky says, "I dunno, on the scale of things that dogs smell, used socks are probably up on the rose end of the scale" | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Water Room Floyd | This is the room with a lot of water. There's water that sits in a bowl Floyd | and there's water that falls from up high to fill up a bigger bowl and Floyd | lots of times when your pet is in here you hear the sounds of water. Floyd | Floyd | This room would be more fun if you liked water more. Anyway, you like Floyd | the sleeping room to the east much better. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "put sock in bowl" | ||||
Floyd | What do you want to put things in: the small bowl or the large bowl? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "small" | ||||
Floyd | You drop the sock into the small bowl. It starts soaking up the water Floyd | right away. Floyd | Floyd | > | Allen asks, "what game is this?" | |||

Floyd | You take a second to give yourself a quick scratch. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You roll over onto your back, kicking your feet up into the air. When Floyd | it becomes apparent that no belly rubs are forthcoming, you get back up Floyd | on your feet. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "play dead" | ||||
Floyd | You start by rolling over and then give your legs one last kick for Floyd | drama. You let your tongue hang out and try to be as still as possible. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet doesn't seem impressed with your trick. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | This is the room where you sit a lot. Well, you sleep here sometimes Floyd | too. But there is a different room that is just for sleeping, and it is Floyd | to the north. There's another room to the west. It's the room with the Floyd | food. That is a good room. Floyd | Floyd | Even though this is the sitting room you can't sit on everything.

Floyd | Your pet smiles as he reaches for the can. "Good boy, Hardy," he says, Floyd | scratching you behind the ears. Your tail starts wagging; you just Floyd | can't help it. (You've always been a fool for a good behind-the-ears Floyd | scratch.) Floyd | Floyd | The can hisses with releasing air as the top pops, and then your pets Floyd | takes a few good gulps. He must have been really thirsty, because soon Floyd | he stands up and walks off to the other room. Floyd | Floyd | From the other room, you hear your pet banging around and yelling about Floyd | the dino. Your pet must have almost tripped on it. He's always almost Floyd | tripping on little stuff like that. Floyd | Floyd | After a second, you hear a click as the door to the water room closes.

Floyd | Making sure you are facing the box of light, you carefully press down Floyd | on the wand with your teeth and are delighted when the box of light Floyd | flickers and changes! Floyd | Floyd | Now you see a bunch of tiny people running around chasing a little Floyd | bitty ball. Uh-oh, someone got pushed. Ugh, the faces got all huge, and Floyd | they don't look happy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "g" | ||||
Floyd | Once again you chomp down to change what's inside the box. This time Floyd | there are these guys poking at each other, kinda fighting and joking Floyd | around and all. Floyd | Floyd | This is the sort of thing your pet seems to enjoy watching sometimes, Floyd | people getting hit with food and slipping and falling down and stuff. Floyd | Everybody is laughing and nobody ever seems to really get hurt, so you Floyd | guess it's OK. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "g" | ||||
Floyd | You've got the hang of this trick now for sure! One more bite on the Floyd | wand brings up something new. Floyd | Floyd | This is more like it!

Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by ten points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "drop wand" | ||||
Floyd | You release your hold and let the magic wand fall down. Floyd | Floyd | You finally hear a familiar rush of water from the little water room Floyd | and, after a second, the sound of the door opening. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "z" | ||||
Floyd | You pause for a second. Your stomach growls. Floyd | Floyd | From the other room, you hear your pet banging around and yelling about Floyd | the dino. Your pet must have almost tripped on it. He's always almost Floyd | tripping on little stuff like that. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet walks in. He starts to sit down on the long soft thing but Floyd | stops when he sees what's in the box of light. That lady cooking is Floyd | doing her job! You pet stands and watches, transfixed. He must be Floyd | thinking of food! Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "ha" | |||

Floyd | You pause for a second. Your stomach growls. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet almost trips on the magic wand, sending it flying right at Floyd | you! Floyd | Floyd | Your pet makes his way to the food room. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet starts rattling around in the food room. Yes! He must be Floyd | making a snack! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Sleeping Room Floyd | Most of the time when you are in here it is dark and quiet because that Floyd | is the best way to sleep and this is the room made for sleeping.

The sitting room is south of here and Floyd | the room with the water is to the west. Floyd | Floyd | Your low bed is here, looking all soft and cushy. Floyd | Floyd | Dino is here!

There's a Floyd | thing that gets hot and a box that stays cold, and that is your Floyd | favorite because you know there is always food inside there. A cloth Floyd | hangs down from the door of the cold box. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet is here, working on making a snack. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a wet sock and a square soft thing here. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet looks in the cold box and stands for a moment staring at the Floyd | contents. Then he starts taking out some of the sandwich fixings! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "bark" | ||||
Floyd | You try a few short, sharp barks. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet says, "Shh, Hardy, it's OK." Floyd | Floyd | Now, with that magic touch, your pet starts going through the secret Floyd | places, opening and closing them as he finds what he needs to make a Floyd | sandwich. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You sniff around a bit but all the smells are normal. Floyd | Floyd | One by one, your pet starts pulling the sandwich fixings out of the Floyd | cold box and turning them into a sandwich. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The cold box hums softly. It must be happy because it has a lot of food Floyd | inside it. That always makes you happy. Floyd | Floyd | Right now it's open and blasting you with cold air. Inside you can see Floyd | various leftovers, some jars and some sandwich fixings. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet starts putting stuff away and soon closes the cold box.

Floyd | You sit up with your paws in front of you and try to look pitiful. Floyd | Floyd | "OK, Hardy," says your pet, tossing you a nibble of the sandwich Floyd | fixings. You gobble it up right away. Such a tease! It makes you want a Floyd | sandwich even more! Floyd | Floyd | Sandwich in hand, your pet heads for the sitting room. Floyd | Floyd | You follow your pet as he makes his way to the long soft thing and Floyd | starts munching away on the sandwich.

| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get can" | ||||
Floyd | You snatch up the shiny can with your mouth and hold on tight. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "shake can" | ||||
Floyd | You shake the can for all you're worth. That should make it nice and Floyd | fizzy inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "heehee" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Before you leave the food room, you push the cold box door with your Floyd | nose to close it. (It's important to conserve energy.) Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | Your pet is here, blinking and staring, not yet fully awake. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "hee" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "give can to pet" | ||||
Floyd | Your pet smiles as he reaches for the can. "Good boy, Hardy," he says, Floyd | scratching you behind the ears. Your tail starts wagging; you just Floyd | can't help it. (You've always been a fool for a good behind-the-ears Floyd | scratch.) Floyd | Floyd | As your pet pops the top, the liquid starts spouting out in a big rush Floyd | and getting all over your pet. He jumps up, yelling, and runs off. Floyd | Floyd | From the other room, you hear your pet banging around and yelling about Floyd | the dino. Your pet must have almost tripped on it. He's always almost Floyd | tripping on little stuff like that. Floyd | Floyd | After a second, you hear the water room door slam. Well, that was one Floyd | way to get your pet off the long soft thing! Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by ten points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "HA" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "I did not expect ten points." | ||||
| DavidW says, "It woke him up." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, I guess." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Anything else you want to try?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "See, I expected to lose points for being bad." | ||||
| DavidW says, "ah" | ||||
| inky asks, "was there a funny message for biting his hand?" | ||||
| Allen says, "I hope at some point you get to go BACON BACON BACON ITS BACCCCCOOON" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I thought it said we love him too much to bite him." | ||||
| DavidW says (to inky), "Apparently, but we haven't seen it." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I think it's a different message to bite the hand [that feeds you] than to bite the pet itself." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "ah" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "scratch can't scratch" | ||||
Floyd | But it's the thing you can't scratch! Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks (of inky), "Want me to back it up a few and bite his hand?" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push can't scratch" | ||||
Floyd | It is fixed in place. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "we could also try drinking water from the small bowl, or flushing the sock." | ||||
Floyd | You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Did we drink out of the toilet?" | |||
| DavidW says, "No, we didn't try that" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "That seems like a dog thing to do." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "restart" | ||||
Floyd | Are you sure you want to restart? | Allen asks, "what if he puts those little chlorine things in the toilet reservoir?" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "y" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | <RRROWWGRROWL> Your stomach growls. Floyd | Floyd | You've been vegging out in front of that flickering screen for hours, Floyd | your pet by your side. Now your complaining stomach sets you up on your Floyd | feet, and on a mission. | Allen says, "we could die" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Allen), "Yep, then we'll get sick and die." | ||||
| Jacqueline pushes the green 'space' button. | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Snack Time! Floyd | An Interactive Break for a Bite Floyd | by Hardy the Bulldog (with help from Renee Choba) Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 080929 / Inform 7 build 5U92 (I6/v6.31 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | (For more information please type ABOUT) Floyd | Floyd | Sitting Room Floyd | This is the room where you sit a lot. Well, you sleep here sometimes Floyd | too. But there is a different room that is just for sleeping, and it is Floyd | to the north. There's another room to the west. It's the room with the Floyd | food. That is a good room. Floyd | Floyd | Even though this is the sitting room you can't sit on everything. There Floyd | are a lot of "no"s here, like the thing you can't scratch, and the tall Floyd | thing and the four-legged thing that isn't alive but that stands still Floyd | with the box of light on its back. Floyd | Floyd | Your pet is here, all stretched out on the long soft thing and snoring. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Food Room Floyd | Food room, glorious food room! Floyd | Floyd | Your bowl for food and water is here, but that's only the beginning. Floyd | There's also a lot of secret places where your pet keeps food and Floyd | things that go with food and things that make food better. There's a Floyd | thing that gets hot and a box that stays cold, and that is your Floyd | favorite because you know there is always food inside there. A cloth Floyd | hangs down from the door of the cold box. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh, wait." | |||

Floyd | Floyd | Sleeping Room Floyd | Most of the time when you are in here it is dark and quiet because that Floyd | is the best way to sleep and this is the room made for sleeping. There Floyd | is a high bed here that is not your bed although it is where you sleep Floyd | usually to keep your pet company. The sitting room is south of here and Floyd | the room with the water is to the west. Floyd | Floyd | Your low bed is here, looking all soft and cushy. Floyd | Floyd | Dino is here! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Water Room Floyd | This is the room with a lot of water. There's water that sits in a bowl Floyd | and there's water that falls from up high to fill up a bigger bowl and Floyd | lots of times when your pet is in here you hear the sounds of water. Floyd | Floyd | This room would be more fun if you liked water more. Anyway, you like Floyd | the sleeping room to the east much better. Floyd | Floyd | > | Allen says, "viol time" | |||
| Allen has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "drink water" | ||||
Floyd | (the still water) Floyd | You lean in and take a nice, cool drink. Ahh! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | (the still water) Floyd | You lean in and take a nice, cool drink. Ahh! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "turn on tub" | ||||
Floyd | That's not something you can switch. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "enter bigger bowl" | ||||
Floyd | You can't get in there without help. And anyway, you don't like it in Floyd | there much. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "flush toilet" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a trick you know. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "heehee" | |||
