Below is a transcript of The day I hugged Ghandi!, written by Taleslinger. The day I hugged Ghandi! was part of the seventieth collection of Speed IFs (can you believe it?). You can learn more about all the games in the Even Newer New Year's Speed, including how to download them, 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 | Dear Blogreaders, Floyd | change is inevitable. Paul and I have been married for a year, and Floyd | things were going really great. (As you all know by the fact that I Floyd | haven't posted much lately) - Oh, thank you to to PrettyBoy33 for the Floyd | wedding photos. - Anyhoo, they moved the cemetery behind Paul's Floyd | parents house lately, and doing that they discovered the corpse of his Floyd | Uncle Wally in a coffin, together with some other guy. A funny Floyd | position to find a homophobe like him in, but that's beside the point. Floyd | Paul decided not only that I had something to do with it (unheard of!) Floyd | but also decided that we should take his corpse back to his home Floyd | island, St. Lincoln. (Google Maps tells me it's off the coast of Floyd | Florida, right next to Voodoo Island). So, there we were, on New Floyd | Year's, on the rented yacht, and I knew I would've have a hard time Floyd | making it up to Paul and turning this into... Floyd | Floyd | The day I hugged Ghandi! Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Taleslinger Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 110108 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | In the Cabin Floyd | It has the mediocre nicety of a place that doesn't want to look cheap.

Floyd | A sudden wave rocks the boat. The idol topples off the plywood table Floyd | and crashes into a million shards. Floyd | There is a terrible, howling wind from beyond the void of the aether! Floyd | Cackling, the vetala appears, a twisted, djinn. it looks like the Floyd | monsters from recent Japanese horror movie (an original, not a crappy Floyd | american remake. And it doesn't look like a little girl. What is it Floyd | with creepy little girls lately? This looks just like a plain, Floyd | old-fashioned creepy monster. Like an updated Lon Chaney thing, or Floyd | something from Tom Savini. Just not some crappy CGI that breaks Floyd | mimesis and tells you instantly that you're watching a movie where Floyd | animators spent time and money on watching some animals move and then Floyd | their creature, possibly in a remake. still looks crappy and obviously Floyd | fake.) Oh, er yes, cackling some more, it flies up the stairs. You Floyd | hear wood splintering, and Paul screams. Aha, damsel in distress plot. Floyd | You wonder if it's played straight. Floyd | Floyd | Deck Floyd | The stern is quite spacious. It has to be, as it not only contains a Floyd | bench that runs along it, but also a sort of huge, white supporter on Floyd | which rests Uncle Wallys coffin, its lid broken. A small ladder leads Floyd | into the water. Floyd | Floyd | Uncle Wally, possessed by a demon -and this is not a metaphor for his Floyd | drinking problem- stands here, holding Paul in a stranglehold.

| Nitku says, "ha ha" | ||||
| Tale | It's an intricate glass figure, reddish in color. It resembles a tribal warrior with a shield and spear. You bought it at a flea market in Miami. The vendor told you it contains a [italic type]vetala[roman type], which is odd since those are demons from Hindu mythology. Well, that's globalization for you. He told you not to break it, because the [italic type]vetala[roman type] will then move to the next dead body around. The only way to expell it is to kill something, because the [italic type]vetala[roman type] is forced to inhabit the freshest dead body available. | ||||

Floyd | "So, what do you want, anyway?" Floyd | "I want to cause as much suffering as I can. So I'll choke your man to Floyd | death as slowly as possible." Floyd | Hunh. While horrible for Paul, this should give you a few turns." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
