Floyd \| Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Johann found the whole rattling car empty save one seat occupied by a Floyd \| girl about his age, whose face was hidden behind a large folding star Floyd \| chart, labeled MAP in one corner. He approached softly. There was Floyd \| something perhaps familiar about her. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Mind if I sit here, Miss?" he asked. She looked up from the map, and Floyd \| Johann at once recognized her as his sister, and wondered how in the Floyd \| world he hadn't known who she was earlier. She smiled to see him, but Floyd \| he thought he saw her wiping a tear from her eye as turned to put down Floyd \| his coat. Taking the seat opposite her, and looking for a moment at the Floyd \| near-total desolation outside the train, punctuated only by a few Floyd \| swimming blue lamps, he asked, "Where did you get that map?" Floyd \| Floyd \| "They gave it to me at the station, of course. Didn't they give you one Floyd \| too?" But Johann could not remember any station. In fact, he could not Floyd \| remember boarding the train at all. Floyd \| Floyd \| Please press SPACE to continue.		maga says, "I have no idea whether this needs a driver"

Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Pale Blue Light Floyd \| a story by Kazuki Mishima Floyd \| Release 2 / Serial number 110708 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd \| 6/12N) Floyd \| Inspired by the life and work of Kenji Miyazawa. Floyd \| Enter "about" for more information. Floyd \| Floyd \| I. One More Painted Lantern Floyd \| Floyd \| "Je tiu tago ni vidos kaj esperon kaj harmonion, kaj chu estos pli au Floyd \| malpli bela sunlevigho de tiu tago ol sunlevigho estas hodiau?" Floyd \| Floyd \| Sophie actually enjoyed the festival every year. She enjoyed the Floyd \| lights, the songs, and the crispness of the air. It was only the crowds Floyd \| that made her uneasy and drove her into the solitude she had learned to Floyd \| appreciate. Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| The River's Northern Bank Floyd \| There the river was at its widest, flowing with a stealthy swiftness. Floyd \| The only way back to the city was to the northwest. Floyd \| Floyd \| Painted lanterns undulated just barely within view. Floyd \| Floyd \| She was surprised to see Franz there. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Binder exclaims, "Franz!"
		Touchy exclaims, "Sissy!"
Binder says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd \| She was carrying: Floyd \| a faith pendant (being worn) Floyd \| Floyd \| >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x pendant"
Floyd \| Sophie had inherited the pendant, a symbol of faith, from her Floyd \| grandmother. It was of a strange shape, with many curves. Sophie's Floyd \| grandmother had called it her "ohm." Floyd \| Floyd \| Franz noticed Sophie's presence with a start. He stumbled, fell into Floyd \| the water, and was silently carried downstream. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		maga says, "WHAT HAVE WE DOOOONE"
		Trumgottist asks, "I suppose we're not meant to understand that quote?"
		Binder says, "Franz seems kind of fragile"
		Touchy says, "Alright...let's try to go after him"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd \| Sophie was sometimes told she was a good child, and she liked to think Floyd \| of herself that way. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Binder says (to Floyd), "save franz"
Floyd \| Sophie leaped into the frigid river. The dark shadow of a man appeared Floyd \| and followed her into the Acheron. Floyd \| Floyd \| Franz had trouble catching his breaths in the mighty current. He and Floyd \| Sophie met in the water, and she tried to help him stay afloat, but the Floyd \| water began to overwhelm her. There was a tumbling, a scratching, and a Floyd \| stabilization. Somehow, they had landed. Floyd \| Floyd \| Crane Island, Western Shore Floyd \| This part of the island consisted mainly of smooth sedimentary rock, Floyd \| while she was on a small sandy bit of shore that connected to the east Floyd \| with a path guarded by an ancient spirit gate. Floyd \| Floyd \| The ancient spirit gate was closed. Floyd \| Floyd \| Painted lanterns undulated just barely within view. Floyd \| Floyd \| "I'm sorry I made you come down to the river, Sophie," Franz said when Floyd \| he had finally stopped coughing up water. "I just wanted to catch one Floyd \| more painted lantern." Then he shuddered and once again adopted his Floyd \| habitual silence. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Binder asks, "uh. sorry?"
		Touchy says, "nono"
		Touchy says, "I like it."
		Binder says, "man, silence is a filthy habit. ew, it's like kissing a mime."
maga says (to Floyd), "take lantern"
Floyd \| The lanterns were floating in the far-away sky. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
maga says (to Floyd), "x gate"
Floyd \| The ancient spirit gate was closed. In design, it looked far older than Floyd \| anything in the city, yet its wood seemed immune to rot. In it were Floyd \| carved three recesses, each of the same peculiar shape that defined the Floyd \| pendant Sophie wore wherever she went. One was green, another silver, Floyd \| and the third was pale blue. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x lanterns"
Floyd \| The lanterns formed new constellations in the inky sky. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		maga says, "damn you, inky"

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "open gate"
Floyd \| It wouldn't budge. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put pendant in recess"
Floyd \| Which did she mean, the green recess, the silver recess, or the pale Floyd \| blue recess? Floyd \| Floyd \| >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "green"
Floyd \| (first taking it off) Floyd \| Sophie placed her faith pendant in the gate's green recess. Floyd \| Floyd \| "We cannot place our faith in the verdigris of life," said Franz, "for Floyd \| all things that live must die." Floyd \| >		Touchy says, "oh..which did she mean...nice"

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put pendant in silver recess"
Floyd \| (first taking the faith pendant) Floyd \| Sophie placed her faith pendant in the gate's silver recess. Floyd \| Floyd \| "We cannot place our faith in the sheen of silver," said Franz, "for Floyd \| all things that are must pass." Floyd \| >

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put pendant in blue recess"
Floyd \| (first taking the faith pendant) Floyd \| Sophie placed her faith pendant in the gate's pale blue recess. Floyd \| Floyd \| "We can place our faith only in the Pale Blue Light -- the light of Floyd \| both death and compassion," said Franz, "for death is certain, and Floyd \| compassion illuminates the way."

Floyd \| Floyd \| Watchtower Floyd \| High in the air, she could see it all: the island, the river with its Floyd \| bank, the path leading up to the gates, and the city beyond. It was Floyd \| beautiful. Floyd \| Floyd \| Sophie remembered the heavy creases of her father's forehead, the Floyd \| religious fixation of his eyes as he saluted the family crest three Floyd \| years before. She remembered the engraved tower surrounded by the Floyd \| ancient motto she could not read. Franz had been there on one of his Floyd \| visits, and had examined the old letters closely, slowly tracing them Floyd \| with his finger before speaking aloud those strange words she could not Floyd \| understand: Floyd \| Floyd \| "Neniame forlasu la gardon." Floyd \| Floyd \| Her father's face had become wildly hostile, and he had shouted Floyd \| condemnations of the utterance of Elderese. That had been the last time Floyd \| Sophie had seen her father. Floyd \| Floyd \| The only way out was back down to the shrine. Floyd \| Floyd \| Painted lanterns undulated just barely within view. Floyd \| Floyd \| >

Floyd \| Floyd \| Sophie's father stood there, seething, menacing, holding a knife to Floyd \| Franz. Floyd \| Floyd \| Franz, captive, shivered, a slight blue glow dancing about his teary Floyd \| eyes, and a pale, wavering, blue cocoon of light shielding him against Floyd \| the attacks of Sophie's father. Floyd \| Floyd \| Her father turned as she approached. "Stay out of my way, Sophie," he Floyd \| commanded. "It is at last time to end this aberration."

Floyd \| Floyd \| But as suddenly as he had appeared, the fisherman had departed. Floyd \| Although he had seen too many things out of the ordinary to wonder Floyd \| where the man had gone, Johann wished very much that he had said more Floyd \| to his fellow passenger while he had the chance.

Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| II. Avery's Diary Floyd \| Floyd \| I am Avery Jones, and I am a schoolteacher. Floyd \| Floyd \| 15 December 1921. Floyd \| Am working on a new story I'm calling "Johann's Ticket." Have sketched Floyd \| out the basic arc already, and am trying to round it out into something Floyd \| to send off to the city publishers again, though I suspect I'll just Floyd \| end up having a small run printed at my own expense, as I did with "One Floyd \| More Painted Lantern" and the poetry. Floyd \| Floyd \| Noticed today that it's been over a month since I started teaching. Floyd \| Think I may have developed a knack for it. Seems the trick is to pay Floyd \| textbooks only the very little attention they're due, and to keep the Floyd \| children excited. Mme S. didn't seem much too pleased with this method Floyd \| at first, but I seem to have won the children's admiration, and the Floyd \| respect of my superiors has gradually followed. Floyd \| Floyd \| Had a real shock today when Benjamin Harker became ill during rehearsal Floyd \| for the play. When I had sent for his parents, I started cleaning up, Floyd \| at which point I confirmed my suspicions that the Harker family has it Floyd \| bad enough that they're eating mostly kelp. This prompted me to at last Floyd \| discuss the possibility of an agronomics curriculum with Mme S. She Floyd \| didn't seem too adverse to the idea. Also convinced Mr. Harker to let Floyd \| me have a look at his soil. Floyd \| Floyd \| Everyone seems to be catching the autumn sickness. Lately my coughing Floyd \| has been deeper and more difficult, and Lucy's begun coughing as well. Floyd \| Am doing my best to encourage hygiene among my pupils, but convincing Floyd \| any of them to show any concern for his own health is a struggle.

Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| My Girlfriend's an Evil Bitch. Floyd \| Floyd \| I would like to start off by saying this game is not dedicated to Floyd \| anyone and there is no one in my life who serves as inspiration for the Floyd \| Colleen character. Any similarity between her and anyone you know is Floyd \| not only an amazing coincidence but also should serve as a serious Floyd \| concern to you. Floyd \| Floyd \| This is my first attempt at making an interactive fiction, or a story Floyd \| of any kind. I have focused on making the game challenging, funny, and Floyd \| free of bugs. Floyd \| Floyd \| This focus may have the cost of some descriptive narratives. Floyd \| Personally, though, when I play IF I'm a little annoyed at too much Floyd \| description and it makes me wonder which parts are actually things I Floyd \| should pay attention to and which are just there to set the mood. Floyd \| Therefore, I have chosen to keep the descriptions in this game short Floyd \| and simple giving you just about as much as you need to develop as much Floyd \| of a picture of the scene as is required to understand the story and to Floyd \| solve the puzzles. Floyd \| Floyd \| If you find any mistakes, typos, or you're just so stuck that it's not Floyd \| even fun anymore please let me know, divarin@yahoo.com, and I will Floyd \| certainly help you out. Floyd \| Floyd \| The unique concepts of this game (although other games may have used Floyd \| these as well) are: Floyd \| * Crafting (combining items to form other items) Floyd \| * Buying and selling Floyd \| * Survival (the need to get and consume food and drink) Floyd \| * Out of game clues (optional puzzles) Floyd \| and whatever else I feel like throwing in later. Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| My one word of advice to players, take time to buy and read the books Floyd \| in the bookstore. They contain valuable information that will help you Floyd \| solve the puzzles. Plus the lady at the pawn shop will buy them, but Floyd \| you won't make a profit off of them. Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Please press SPACE to continue.		genericgeekgirl says, "Ah."

Floyd \| > Chapter One - Shelters Floyd \| Floyd \| It can take a long time to make a good shelter. Afterwards you will Floyd \| want to make a fire and that will take time as well. If you don't Floyd \| think you have enough time to pull it off, you should try to find a Floyd \| ready-made shelter. Floyd \| Floyd \| Quick and dirty shelters include: A cave, a hole (if you have a shovel Floyd \| you can make one) it's not pretty but it will keep the wind off of you, Floyd \| pointless in the rain though, or a hollowed out tree (as good as a Floyd \| cave, but smaller). Floyd \| Floyd \| If you are ready to try to make a shelter you will need some Floyd \| materials. Aside from a roof to keep rain off of you, you should Floyd \| consider what you will sleep on. You will want some place dry, and to Floyd \| make it difficult for insects to get to you. Some boards raised up by Floyd \| some stones might do the trick, although some creepy crawlies will Floyd \| manage to get up the stones and around the boards it at least makes it Floyd \| diffcult. Floyd \| Floyd \| Flying insects can be kept at bay by the smoke of a nearby campfire Floyd \| just outside of your sleeping area, which you'll want to have anyway Floyd \| for your own warmth. See Chapter Three for information about fires. Floyd \| Floyd \| The simpliest shelter is made by using a low-hanging tree branch as Floyd \| the roof support and leaning logs against it. Then fasten the tarp or Floyd \| other covering to those logs. If you don't have any covering you can Floyd \| use branches from pine trees, cut them off with a knife and tie each Floyd \| branch to your logs. Floyd \| Floyd \| Didn't you forget something?

Floyd \| > Chapter Two - Food Floyd \| Floyd \| When foraging for food it is important to consider that there are Floyd \| three kinds of mushrooms: Floyd \| Floyd \| There are discusting mushrooms (which is the kind you get at the local Floyd \| supermarket), there are poisonous mushrooms which will either make your Floyd \| life a living hell for a few days or kill you (or both), and there are Floyd \| psychadelic (magic) mushrooms which will make you think you've Floyd \| accidently eaten poisonous mushrooms.

djfletch says (to Floyd), "read chapter three"
Floyd \| > Chapter Three - Fires Floyd \| Floyd \| To start a fire you will need many different types of burning material Floyd \| and an ignition source. You will need to be in a relativly calm Floyd \| environment (away from winds and rain) and you will need patience. Floyd \| Floyd \| To get started you need to set aside an area where the fire will burn, Floyd \| this is called the firepit. To do this simply MAKE FIREPIT, then it's Floyd \| just a matter of putting the right kinds of things into the pit, and Floyd \| then igniting it somehow. Floyd \| Floyd \| There are 3 main types of material you will need; tinder, kindling, Floyd \| and logs. Tinder refers to a very light, very flamable material that Floyd \| usually burns up very quickly. This could be as simple as pocket lint. Floyd \| Or, you can create tinder by using a knife on wood to create wood Floyd \| shavings. Kindling refers to small twigs which burn fairly easily once Floyd \| exposed to a fire, but are difficult to ignite on their own. And logs Floyd \| can refer to any size log from 1/2 inch diameter up. Floyd \| Floyd \| All material will need to be completely dry. You will not be able to Floyd \| get wood from a freshly cut tree to burn easily. Such wood will only Floyd \| burn once a hot fire has evaporated all the water from within it. Floyd \| Floyd \| Your ignition source would be, ideally, a cigarette lighter or some Floyd \| matches. Failing that there are a plethora of other means of starting Floyd \| fires. These include: Sunlight magnification, sparks from flint & Floyd \| steel, and friction from rubbing dry wood together. Floyd \| Floyd \| To use sunlight magnification, use a lens (such as from eyeglasses) to Floyd \| focus the sun's light onto your tinder. Make the "dot" as tiny as Floyd \| possible. Once the tinder starts to burn quickly deposit it under your Floyd \| stacked up kindling. Blowing on it gently might help it ignite. Floyd \| Floyd \| Flint combined with Steel can produce sparks which can ignite tinder. Floyd \| If you have something made of steel and a flint stone you can COMBINE Floyd \| those two which will give you a decent fire starter. Floyd \| Floyd \| Didn't you forget something? You were supposed to pick up your Floyd \| girlfriend from the airport at 3:00 PM! Floyd \|		djfletch says, "woo a use for our pocket lint"
djfletch says (to Floyd), "read chapter four"
Floyd \| > Chapter Four - Rescue Floyd \| Floyd \| Rescue depends on one simple principal: You coming on contact with Floyd \| others! Floyd \| Floyd \| This can be achieved in one of two ways, and it is best to try both as Floyd \| much as possible. Floyd \| Floyd \| First, try to make yourself visible as much as possible. Try Floyd \| arranging rocks in the form of an arrow in the direction of your Floyd \| travel. This will not only help others find you but should keep you Floyd \| from running around in circles. Floyd \| Floyd \| Keeping a fire going is essential, fires produce smoke and smoke may Floyd \| be the only sign of your existance that's visible over the tree-line. Floyd \| A smokey fire will greatly enhance your odds of being rescued. Once Floyd \| you have a fire going put some smoldering material on the fire, such as Floyd \| dry leaves, which don't burn well but do cause a lot of smoke. Floyd \| Floyd \| Of course, it would be ideal if you could simply talk to civilization. Floyd \| Cell phones are usually not useable in remote areas however shortwave Floyd \| radios may be helpful. Small portable radios may not transmit very Floyd \| far, especially when their batteries are weak or they have ineffective Floyd \| antennas. But there are things you can do to increase the transmition Floyd \| radius: If you could break open such a radio and solder on some other Floyd \| kind of antenna (such as a copper wire) to the antenna leads then Floyd \| perhaps you could make yourself heard. Floyd \| Floyd \| Doing these things will increase your chances of being seen but they Floyd \| aren't a guarantee. You should try to find civilization rather than Floyd \| simply waiting to be rescued. If you see a source of water, follow it, Floyd \| towns and cities are always formed along rivers and small mountain Floyd \| streams often flow into rivers. Certainly if you see any power lines Floyd \| then following them is a good bet, however they can go on for many Floyd \| miles without entering a town. Floyd \| Floyd \| Didn't you forget something?

djfletch says (to Floyd), "read chapter 3"
Floyd \| > Chapter Three - Fires Floyd \| Floyd \| To start a fire you will need many different types of burning material Floyd \| and an ignition source. You will need to be in a relativly calm Floyd \| environment (away from winds and rain) and you will need patience. Floyd \| Floyd \| To get started you need to set aside an area where the fire will burn, Floyd \| this is called the firepit. To do this simply MAKE FIREPIT, then it's Floyd \| just a matter of putting the right kinds of things into the pit, and Floyd \| then igniting it somehow. Floyd \| Floyd \| There are 3 main types of material you will need; tinder, kindling, Floyd \| and logs. Tinder refers to a very light, very flamable material that Floyd \| usually burns up very quickly. This could be as simple as pocket lint. Floyd \| Or, you can create tinder by using a knife on wood to create wood Floyd \| shavings. Kindling refers to small twigs which burn fairly easily once Floyd \| exposed to a fire, but are difficult to ignite on their own. And logs Floyd \| can refer to any size log from 1/2 inch diameter up. Floyd \| Floyd \| All material will need to be completely dry. You will not be able to Floyd \| get wood from a freshly cut tree to burn easily. Such wood will only Floyd \| burn once a hot fire has evaporated all the water from within it. Floyd \| Floyd \| Your ignition source would be, ideally, a cigarette lighter or some Floyd \| matches. Failing that there are a plethora of other means of starting Floyd \| fires. These include: Sunlight magnification, sparks from flint & Floyd \| steel, and friction from rubbing dry wood together. Floyd \| Floyd \| To use sunlight magnification, use a lens (such as from eyeglasses) to Floyd \| focus the sun's light onto your tinder. Make the "dot" as tiny as Floyd \| possible. Once the tinder starts to burn quickly deposit it under your Floyd \| stacked up kindling. Blowing on it gently might help it ignite. Floyd \| Floyd \| Flint combined with Steel can produce sparks which can ignite tinder. Floyd \| If you have something made of steel and a flint stone you can COMBINE Floyd \| those two which will give you a decent fire starter. Floyd \| Floyd \| On the radio: Floyd \| MAXSTED: No I have no relatives who suffer from a cataleptic illness. Floyd \| Perhaps there are a few other Maxsteds in the book, try them. Floyd \| JOE: I have, you're Mr. Zacharia Maxsted, you're the last on the list. Floyd \| MAXSTED: Well I can't help you. Floyd \| Floyd \| On the radio: Floyd \| JOE: What now? Do I go along to the police and say, Look I stole a Floyd \| man's wallet, someone might be shoving him into six foot of earth. What Floyd \| do I do? I decided to sleep on it. Sleep? That's a laugh.

Some boards raised up by Floyd \| some stones might do the trick, although some creepy crawlies will Floyd \| manage to get up the stones and around the boards it at least makes it Floyd \| diffcult. Floyd \| Floyd \| Flying insects can be kept at bay by the smoke of a nearby campfire Floyd \| just outside of your sleeping area, which you'll want to have anyway Floyd \| for your own warmth. See Chapter Three for information about fires. Floyd \| Floyd \| The simpliest shelter is made by using a low-hanging tree branch as Floyd \| the roof support and leaning logs against it.

If you don't have any covering you can Floyd \| use branches from pine trees, cut them off with a knife and tie each Floyd \| branch to your logs.

djfletch says (to Floyd), "read chapter four"
Floyd \| > Chapter Four - Rescue Floyd \| Floyd \| Rescue depends on one simple principal: You coming on contact with Floyd \| others! Floyd \| Floyd \| This can be achieved in one of two ways, and it is best to try both as Floyd \| much as possible. Floyd \| Floyd \| First, try to make yourself visible as much as possible. Try Floyd \| arranging rocks in the form of an arrow in the direction of your Floyd \| travel. This will not only help others find you but should keep you Floyd \| from running around in circles. Floyd \| Floyd \| Keeping a fire going is essential, fires produce smoke and smoke may Floyd \| be the only sign of your existance that's visible over the tree-line. Floyd \| A smokey fire will greatly enhance your odds of being rescued. Once Floyd \| you have a fire going put some smoldering material on the fire, such as Floyd \| dry leaves, which don't burn well but do cause a lot of smoke. Floyd \| Floyd \| Of course, it would be ideal if you could simply talk to civilization. Floyd \| Cell phones are usually not useable in remote areas however shortwave Floyd \| radios may be helpful. Small portable radios may not transmit very Floyd \| far, especially when their batteries are weak or they have ineffective Floyd \| antennas. But there are things you can do to increase the transmition Floyd \| radius: If you could break open such a radio and solder on some other Floyd \| kind of antenna (such as a copper wire) to the antenna leads then Floyd \| perhaps you could make yourself heard. Floyd \| Floyd \| Doing these things will increase your chances of being seen but they Floyd \| aren't a guarantee. You should try to find civilization rather than Floyd \| simply waiting to be rescued. If you see a source of water, follow it, Floyd \| towns and cities are always formed along rivers and small mountain Floyd \| streams often flow into rivers. Certainly if you see any power lines Floyd \| then following them is a good bet, however they can go on for many Floyd \| miles without entering a town. Floyd \| Floyd \| On the radio: Floyd \| LIL: All right. Here. Floyd \| Floyd \| You are becoming very thirsty. Floyd \| Floyd \| On the radio: Floyd \| (Banging noises) Floyd \| LIL: Joe!

djfletch says (to Floyd), "s"
Floyd \| > Floyd \| The Dining Room Floyd \| You are in a sparse dining room with parque flooring. The kitchen is to Floyd \| the east and to the north is the living room.

djfletch says (to Floyd), "e"
Floyd \| > Floyd \| Kitchen Floyd \| The kitchen sports the usual kitchiny things, and a counter which Floyd \| separates the cooking area from the dining room to the west.

Floyd \| > Floyd \| Maple Drive Floyd \| This is Maple Drive. This large avenue was designed to serve a large Floyd \| commercial district. The construction on Maple ended prematurely not Floyd \| long after it started, to the west is a long and winding gravel road Floyd \| that seems to stretch on into infinity Floyd \| Floyd \| Along Maple five businesses were constructed, all but one went under Floyd \| either before their construction completed or soon after. The only Floyd \| remaining business is "URS Insurance" (which the locals say stands for Floyd \| "You Are Screwed Insurance" because they spend a large part of their Floyd \| profits on lawyers to find creative ways to not pay on claims). This Floyd \| is Colleen's employer but she isn't here at the moment and besides it's Floyd \| the weekend and they're closed. Floyd \| Floyd \| URS Insurance's entrance is to the south. Floyd \|

Floyd \| > Floyd \| Other Cabins Floyd \| There are about 2 dozen empty cabins here in disrepair.

djfletch says (to Floyd), "ne"
Floyd \| > Floyd \| Garden Path Floyd \| This is a small but well trodden foot path which leads away from the Floyd \| center of the commune to the majority of the private residences (now Floyd \| abandoned) to the southwest and to the commune center to the northwest.

djfletch says (to Floyd), "nw"
Floyd \| > Floyd \| The Commune Center Floyd \| You are standing in the center of a commune. Paths lead off in almost Floyd \| every direction. The Public House (the pub) is northwest, a familiar Floyd \| looking logging road is northeast, a foot-path leads southeast, an old Floyd \| looking cabin is south, Julieanne's (somewhat newer looking) cabin is Floyd \| southwest, and a path leads down to the beach west of here. A sundial Floyd \| is here sitting in the center of the commune. Floyd \|
djfletch says (to Floyd), "nw"
Floyd \| >Billy, sitting in an old recliner near the fire, motions you to have a Floyd \| seat. Floyd \| Floyd \| Public House Floyd \| The public house, or The Pub, is a large wood cabin with a large open Floyd \| stone fireplace in the center. A chimney vents the fire's smoke up Floyd \| through the ceiling. There are various tables, benches, sofas, and Floyd \| bean-bags. It appears that a lot of socializing goes on here as most Floyd \| of the seating is faced in toward each other in groups of about 8 or 9. Floyd \| There are various books in shelves along the walls while a wide array Floyd \| of musical instruments are strewn about. Floyd \| Floyd \| There is a long bench along one wall. Julieanne's elderly grandfather, Floyd \| Billy is here. Julieanne, the love of your life, smiles at you. Floyd \|

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take bitch down"
Floyd \| >You show Billy your driver's license. Floyd \| Billy says, "your driver's license will help prove the identity of Floyd \| Jeffery Kramer, and gives Glenn something to go on... on proving the Floyd \| falsity of the marriage license Colleen fabricated." Floyd \| You show Billy your birth certificate. Floyd \| Billy says, "your birth certificate will help prove the identity of Floyd \| Jeffery Kramer, and gives Glenn something to go on... on proving the Floyd \| falsity of the marriage license Colleen fabricated." Floyd \| You show Billy A fake ID. Floyd \| Billy says, "A fake ID will help prove that Colleen and Marla are one Floyd \| and the same." Floyd \| With that Billy got in his old truck, navigated the maze of the old Floyd \| logging roads, made his way back to town, planned and plotted with his Floyd \| friend Glenn, and eventually settled down in Arizona. Floyd \| Floyd \| A few months later you heard through the grapevine that the case Floyd \| against Colleen was a slam dunk and she's now rotting in prison for Floyd \| attempted murder, and even worse (in the eyes of the legal system) of Floyd \| insurance fraud. Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| After hearing the verdict you and Julieanne settle in for a long comfy Floyd \| sleep in the commune, then, you hear a voice... Floyd \| Floyd \| Hey! It's me, remember! Ya, me as in you, as in Jeffery Kramer! Floyd \| You're the bloke who woke me up from my best dream like over a year Floyd \| ago! Well guess what? I'm BAAACK! Yup. It looks like you've done a Floyd \| pretty good job for yourself here. Got that crazy psycho off my back, Floyd \| got yourself a good woman, got out of that crazy mortgage business. Floyd \| Yup, very well done indeed. Floyd \| Floyd \| Well, I'll be taking over now, you understand. I'm sure you have all Floyd \| kinds of "real world" things to contend with. So just leave it to me Floyd \| and I'll treat this lady right, don't you worry `bout it!

		djfletch says, "yeah. It isn't really what you would expect from the title."
		DavidW asks, "So what sort of gameplay is My Girlfriend, anyway? Is it a revenge story, an escape story, a relive events until all is well story, or what?"

		Gerynar says (to Firion), "don't worry, I'm sure jacq will have the transcripts up any minute now (yeah, yeah...bad joke Gerynar)"
