| Jacqueline exclaims, "Okay, it's time!" | ||
| genericgeekgirl arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Jacqueline says, "So, looks like maybe we have some new folks..." | |
| inky says, "it's time to play the music! it's time to light the lights!" | ||
| djfletch arrives, full of fun and funk. | * Jacqueline has added ruthling to the channel. | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Hi, ruthling. Here for ClubFloyd?" | ||
| ruthling says, "yep, more or less" | Jacqueline says, "To speak on the channel, type #CLUBFLOYD HELLO" | |
| Jacqueline says, "(not in caps, though)" | ||
| ruthling says, "I"m also doing stuff around the house, so I may not respond" | Jacqueline says, "And then after that, you type ;HI AGAIN" | |
| schep says, "HELLO JACQ" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "(i.e. first you set the channel by typing #channelname and then after that you can just use your default channel by prefacing what you say with a semi-colon)" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to schep), "HI" | ||
| JOHNNY SAYS (TO SCHEP), "YOU MEAN [CLUBFLOYD]" | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "I'M THE LOUDEST." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You can just lurk, that's fine, ruthling. But if you want to discuss the game, just know that all conversation needs to take place here on the channel, with only game play in the room. That keeps the transcript clean." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I AM IMAGINING 72 POINT FONT. DO NOT MAKE ME VISUALIZE THE BLINK TAG." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "See? The caps lock is useful, sometimes." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, I was reading about the origin of the blink tag today. Sargent posted it via g+" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, shall we begin?" | ||
| Johnny says, "marquee ... is more fun ... anyway ... BURMA SHAVE" | ||

Floyd | getting rid of all trace of mammals in the back rooms of the Don

Floyd |
Floyd | Atrium
Floyd | You stand in a vast glass-ceilinged atrium. The main doors stand behind
Floyd | you to the south, in front is the rest of the museum. The part that you
Floyd | actually need to clear is through the little door to the back rooms,
Floyd | behind the information desk to the east. The portrait gallery opens off
Floyd | to the west.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the centre of the atrium is a huge skip, (or garbage dumpster, if
Floyd | you're so inclined), into which you are to place all objects tainted
Floyd | with mammalian DNA, or direct organic bi-products of mammals. Your
Floyd | co-slaves have already gone through most of museum, including
Floyd | thankfully, the toilets. When the job is done, you need only blow the
Floyd | whistle you've been given, and Kssshsss will come and assess your
Floyd | execution of the task.

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | John was already on his phone by the time you glanced over your Floyd | shoulder. He had forgotten the whole joke; he wouldn't have noticed if Floyd | you just turned around and walked back. Which you really wanted to do, Floyd | for some reason. Floyd | Floyd | It felt like a pretty stupid thing to be afraid of. Floyd | Floyd | You got up the nerve to walk past the last few headstones, but you kept Floyd | your head down. You didn't even want to look at the feet. You just kept Floyd | your eyes on the pedestal, on the exact spot where you finally set down Floyd | the envelope, and then you turned around. Floyd | Floyd | John was still talking to his phone, oblivious. You could feel it, Floyd | though, like a finger lightly scraping up the back of your neck. Floyd | Floyd | And then jabbing into your spine so you had to turn back around and Floyd | look up at its face. And you thought (right away you told yourself the Floyd | idea was ridiculous) that it nodded. | ||

Floyd ] Kitchen Floyd | Floyd | The Statue Got Me High Floyd | A disaster simulator by Ryan Veeder (with apologies to Johns L & F) Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 120316 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Kitchen Floyd | The kitchen, with all its drawers, its cupboards, its sinks and ovens, Floyd | constitutes Chucky's domain, and he guards it jealously. Usually you Floyd | use it only as a conduit between the dining room (south) and the tunnel Floyd | to the cellar (down the stairs). Floyd | Floyd | Of course, working in here is part of your job, so you and Chucky have Floyd | a deal worked out. The deal is: You do not touch anything. Floyd | Floyd | Right now is an exception, apparently. Floyd | Floyd | "John wants you to take care of these," he squawks, thrusting a stack Floyd | of cards toward you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I am now thinking of the doll from the horror movie." | |
| schep says (to Floyd), "x cards" | ||
Floyd ] Kitchen Floyd | Floyd | > X CARDS Floyd | As you lean in for a closer look, Chucky draws back, repulsed by your Floyd | intrusion of his personal space. Floyd | Floyd | "Just take 'em, will ya?" he growls. He shoves the stack into your Floyd | hands and then turns to his cooking. Floyd | Floyd | The papers are place cards, which are to be set out at the dinner table Floyd | so everyone knows where to sit. The forms of the names are Floyd | inconsistent: The men are "John," "Miles," "Ivan," and "Garry," but the Floyd | women are "Miss Idie" and "Miss O." Floyd | Floyd | But that's not your problem. Your job is figuring out where to put Floyd | these. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "This sounds familiar too." | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x chucky" | ||
Floyd ] Kitchen Floyd | Floyd | > X CHUCKY Floyd | Chucky's teeth look like a cemetery built on some old marshland, his Floyd | glass eye is not the same color as his real eye, and he smells like a Floyd | butchery, but he is a phenomenal cook. Supposedly he used to be a chef Floyd | in the White House. Floyd | Floyd | You'd like to find out more about that, but Chucky isn't the kind of Floyd | guy who likes to talk. To you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Kitchen Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | You look extremely presentable in your "B" tuxedo: classy, but not too Floyd | flashy; easy to ignore. Tuxedo B is the most appropriate for these Floyd | intimate get-togethers with John's close friends. ("Intimate" is the Floyd | word John uses for mixed groups; the parties to which only women are Floyd | invited he calls "friendly," and they require a different tuxedo.)

Floyd ] Dining Room Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Dining Room Floyd | The sun is going down outside the western window, and the huge table, Floyd | set for six, is aflame in the orange glow. An old portrait hangs on one Floyd | wall, watching the proceedings with creepy indifference. Floyd | Floyd | The kitchen is back north, the den is east from here, and a narrow door Floyd | leads south to the foyer. Floyd | Floyd | Somebody jumps as you walk in. It's John's friend Garry, apparently Floyd | startled by your entrance. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x portrait" | ||
Floyd ] Dining Room Floyd | Floyd | > X PORTRAIT Floyd | The frame on the north wall is too big to ignore, and the eyes of the Floyd | portrait seem to follow you around. Floyd | Floyd | This is supposed to be John's ancestor, an Old World nobleman, also Floyd | named John. John has offered numerous anecdotes about the subject of Floyd | the painting, many of them outlandish and contradictory, and you would Floyd | be inclined to believe that really has no idea who this man is, if the Floyd | family resemblence weren't so unnervingly clear. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| schep says (to Floyd), "ask garry about john" | ||
Floyd ] Dining Room Floyd | Floyd | > ASK GARRY ABOUT JOHN Floyd | You open your mouth to speak to Garry at just the moment that he Floyd | apparently gathers the courage to talk to you. Floyd | Floyd | "Do you see that painting up there?" he rasps, indicating the portrait Floyd | on the north wall. "Don't you think there's something messed up with Floyd | that guy? He looks really judgmental, right? Like he's judging me. Or Floyd | you." Floyd | Floyd | You take a moment to formulate a diplomatic answer, but other thoughts Floyd | distract you. Why, Garry, are you standing in here, away from the rest Floyd | of the party, if you hate that painting so much? What is going on in Floyd | your life that makes you worried that a painting is judging Floyd | you? Floyd | Floyd | Garry goes on without you. "I don't like him. I feel like he's looking Floyd | at me. You know what? When we sit down for dinner, try and make sure Floyd | I'm sitting somewhere where I don't have to look at him. One of these Floyd | two seats," he says. He points with a shaking hand at the two chairs on Floyd | the north side of the table. Floyd | Floyd | You nod. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl asks, "Oh no. This is going to be a whole sitting arrangement puzzle to make everyone happy, isn't it?" | |
| DavidW says, "Of course." | ||
| schep says, "looks like!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh dear." | ||
| Rotonoto says, "First clue." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Wasn't that obvious from the kitchen?" | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "> sit Alice by her ex-husband and the woman he left her for." | ||
| Johnny says, "It'd be awesome to have one of those where the aim is to make everyone maximally grumpy/" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, but it just got more complimicated." | ||
| genericgeekgirl asks (of DW), "No?" | ||
| Rotonoto says, "Logic puzzles ... :(" | ||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x table" | ||
Floyd ] Dining Room Floyd | Floyd | > X TABLE Floyd | At other parties this table has comfortably seated more, but currently Floyd | there are six high-backed chairs and six table settings: Two each on Floyd | the north and south sides, one on the west end, and one at the east. Floyd | This last one, on account of its facing the west wall, has the sunset Floyd | shining straight at it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x garry" | ||
Floyd ] Dining Room Floyd | Floyd | > X GARRY Floyd | Although lacking your boss's level of animal magnetism, Garry Horrible Floyd | has charm and wit enough to make up for his unfortunate name. Most of Floyd | the time. Floyd | Floyd | Tonight, he looks like a nervous wreck. There are dark circles under Floyd | his eyes; his breathing is too loud. His is not a demeanour appropriate Floyd | to a dinner party. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "I was just going to wait five minutes and then DavidW would have figured it all out" | |
| genericgeekgirl says, "Ok. Who do we hate the most? They get to sit in the sunny seat." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "Secretly, that is my true approach." | ||
| DavidW says (to inky), "well, I haven't been given my head yet." | ||
| Johnny says (to Jacq), "Interesting." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to ggg), "I like the sunny seat, I'll take it." | ||
| Rotonoto says, ".. #clubfloyd John, since he looks like the portrait, shouldn't be facing Garry." | djfletch says, "maybe we can steal the portrait, then he can sit anywhere" | |

Floyd | The dining room is west; the parlor is south. Floyd | Floyd | Captain Miles is here, lining up a shot at the pool table. Floyd | Floyd | Ivan leans on his cue and regards the table with something like Floyd | suspicion. Floyd | Floyd | Across the room, fidgiting on a bar stool, is Miss Idie. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd |
Floyd | > THE WESTERN w"Oh, there you are," says Miles as you approach.
Floyd | "Listen, I don't know if you've decided who's sitting where for dinner.
Floyd | But I've been getting these real bad migraines lately."
Floyd |
Floyd | Ivan looks up from the pool table. "No kidding? I can give you
Floyd | something for that." He pulls a pad of paper from inside his jacket.
Floyd |
Floyd | Miles turns away from you and back toward Ivan. "Well, I don't know for
Floyd | sure if they're migraines. I know that I'm really sensitive to light."
Floyd |
Floyd | Ivan is already writing. "Doesn't matter. How about codeine? You seem
Floyd | to me like a codeine kind of guy." He looks slantways at Miles for a
Floyd | moment, then goes back to scribbling. "Yeah. Here you go. You can get
Floyd | this filled wherever."
Floyd |
Floyd | He rips off the sheet and pushes it into Miles's hand. "Thanks," Miles
Floyd | stutters, before he turns back to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "In the meantime I guess, I'm just saying, I'd rather not sit in that
Floyd | chair that's facing the window while the sun's going down."

Floyd | takes you aside.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Hey. So. I figure those cards you're carrying are for deciding the
Floyd | seating arrangement? For dinner? Pretty fancy." It is apparent from his
Floyd | breath that he has figured out the secret of the credenza.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The thing is. There's two things. First thing is, that lady friend of
Floyd | John's. I don't want to sit next to her. She creeps me out. Second
Floyd | thing is, please don't put me next to..." He's started whispering, and
Floyd | now he cranes his head around the room.
Floyd |
Floyd | "You know who I'm talking about. She's a downer. I don't wanna sit next
Floyd | to her either. I don't know what Miles sees in her." He must mean Miss
Floyd | Idie.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I mean, I know what he sees in her. Her mother has that publishing
Floyd | company. And both she and her mother have mitochondrial
Floyd | encephalomyopathy. I mean, look at her. She's like a stick. But with
Floyd | the publishing company, and she's gonna die young. So I can see why
Floyd | Miles would want to get in on that. But that's not really an option for
Floyd | me. So.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Just, don't put me next to either of those women." And with that, he
Floyd | finally lets go of you.

Floyd |
Floyd | > DOWN OUTSIDeMiss Idie looks down at the cards in your hand. "Oh yes,
Floyd | there's one thing you should know. I am left-handed."
Floyd |
Floyd | She raises her left hand, by way of evidence.
Floyd |
Floyd | "If you lack experience with left-handed people, of whom there are
Floyd | relatively few, you may not know about the problems that arise when a
Floyd | left-handed person sits to the right of a right-handed person at a
Floyd | meal. Their elbows often bump against each other. It can be very
Floyd | uncomfortable. If two left-handed people sit next to each other, of
Floyd | course, there is no problem. However, I am the only left-handed person
Floyd | here this evening. I have made sure to check. So please make sure that
Floyd | you do not place me with anyone sitting to my left. I would prefer to
Floyd | have someone sitting immediately to my right. If I am made to sit
Floyd | neighborless at the end of a table, I feel like a pariah, excluded from
Floyd | the group because of my unique needs.
Floyd |
Floyd | "John, your employer, claims to be ambidextrous. However, ambidexterity
Floyd | is a myth. I am sure he has only really managed to use his left hand
Floyd | for specific tasks, and only with a great deal of training."
Floyd |
Floyd | She pauses momentarily--not to let you get a word in edgewise, but to
Floyd | furrow her brow. "I thought it was unusual that he would say that about
Floyd | himself. I find that most frivolous claims to ambidexterity are made by
Floyd | Orientals."
Floyd |
Floyd | Well, that certainly took a turn.

The décor is classy enough Floyd | for guests to understand that they should avoid making a mess out of Floyd | everything. Floyd | Floyd | This is due in large part to the magnificent oriental rug, covering Floyd | most of the floor, and the delicate sabicu coffee table. Both are in an Floyd | impossibly pristine condition, capable of inspiring respect from the Floyd | most boorish of John's associates. Floyd | Floyd | John is sitting in his favorite easy chair, smiling absentmindedly. Floyd | Floyd | Across from him is Miss O, lounging on the couch as if it were a day Floyd | bed.

You know it Floyd | doesn't matter to me, but you should probably go around and see if Floyd | anyone has any weird preference about how they sit down. It doesn't Floyd | matter to me, though, like I said. Floyd | Floyd | "But, you know, Ondine here is the guest of honor, right?" (Miss O Floyd | touches her collarbone: Who, me?) "So, I suppose she would Floyd | like to be seated to the right of the host. She's a classy lady; she Floyd | notices that kind of thing." Floyd | Floyd | You nod dutifully.

Floyd |
Floyd | "Just a moment, John," she says. "Your associate needs for me to cut
Floyd | off our conversation for a moment. I assume it's something important."
Floyd |
Floyd | She turns to you. "Is this about the seating arrangement of the meal? I
Floyd | hadn't bothered to give it any thought. Hmm."
Floyd |
Floyd | She licks her lips.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I suppose I don't have any strong preferences. I'd hate for any of my
Floyd | silly whims to contradict those of the other guests. But don't you
Floyd | think John should sit at the head of the table? I suppose that goes
Floyd | without saying. After all, you're our gracious host, aren't you?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Miss O has directed this last sentence at John, apparently having
Floyd | decided she's wasted enough attention on you. You quietly step
Floyd | backward.

Floyd |
Floyd | TYou've worked for John for so long that you can't decide what you
Floyd | think of him. Is his sarcasm grating, or is it charming? Is he really
Floyd | charming, or just handsome? Does he treat women like bite-sized
Floyd | Snickers because he loves them, or because he hates them?
Floyd |
Floyd | Then when he tilts his head, you realize: It's all confidence. He
Floyd | doesn't need to be handsome or charming. He's just confident.

Floyd | John jumping up to beat you to it. You listen carefully for who it

Floyd | It walks in through the narrow door, stooping its head, sending
Floyd | splinters flying from the frame. It lifts its head (it looks at you)
Floyd | and almost touches the ceiling. It looks at Garry. Garry falls to his
Floyd | knees.
Floyd |
Floyd | John grins. "Let me introduce you. Peter, this is my friend Garry.
Floyd | Garry, this is Peter. You remember Peter? Peter whose daughter I
Floyd | boned?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Garry whimpers. John laughs.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Anyway, he died, and this is a statue of him. He got up and walked
Floyd | here! Tell him why you're here, Pete."
Floyd |
Floyd | The statue rumbles: ## Because you invited me.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Yeah! I invited the statue to dinner! And he showed up!" John raises
Floyd | his hands in the air and smirks triumphantly. He is not nearly as

Floyd | Floyd | John's eyes dart around the room. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, oh. Look, the table is only set for six. And the place cards Floyd | haven't been set. This is a disaster. This is inexcusable." Floyd | Floyd | He walks over to you and takes the stack of cards from out of your Floyd | hands. He turns toward "Peter" and grins. Floyd | Floyd | "These are pointless," he announces, and he starts ripping apart the Floyd | cards. "People can sit where they want. I'll have Chucky put out a new Floyd | setting. Yes. But for now..." Floyd | Floyd | He turns to you and pulls a key from out of his pocket. "There is a Floyd | case of wine downstairs which I have been saving for just this kind of Floyd | occasion.

Floyd ] Bridge 30 Floyd | Floyd | > ROAR Floyd | "In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the Lion takes Floyd | control." Floyd | Floyd | You let out a tremendous roar, silencing all of the subordinates around Floyd | you. Clearly, the Lion is now the Captain. Floyd | Floyd | Now what to do? Rynin reports that the sirens are encroaching coming Floyd | closer to the bridge. It appears that the mind-controlled Bok is with Floyd | them, singing beautifully. You wince, fighting the urge to panic. Floyd | Jeldysh brings you back to reality by reporting the ship is taking Floyd | heavy fire and you need to find a solution now. You turn your Floyd | attention to the planet below. Maybe a solution can be found there. Floyd | Floyd | The ship rocks ominously from side to side.

Floyd ] Bridge 31 Floyd | Floyd | > LOOK UP EARTH IN DATABASE Floyd | Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the Floyd | solar nebula, and life appeared on its surface within one billion Floyd | years. The planet is home to millions of species, including humans. Floyd | Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other Floyd | abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic Floyd | organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together Floyd | with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful solar radiation, permitting Floyd | life on land.

Floyd ] Bridge 33 Floyd | Floyd | > RYNIN, SCAN FOR BAD MUSIC Floyd | I could easily scan to find the least harmonious music on earth.

Floyd ] Garage 34 Floyd | Hey! Who's that playing the guitar? Floyd | Floyd | "Well, I guess that explains it," you say, feeling a bit glum. "Maybe Floyd | we'll be better now, but we could really use some inspiration." As if Floyd | on cue, your phone begins to ring. Now whom have you lent it to? Floyd | Floyd | Garage (in the band) Floyd | You're in the detached garage of your friend's small Cambridge home. Floyd | It's a warm, sunny, clear day and the quiet makes it an ideal day for Floyd | some practice. Around the garage is a garage door.

Floyd | Floyd | As soon as you answer the phone, the world seemed to dissolve around Floyd | you, and suddenly you, your friends, and all your equipment is standing Floyd | in what looks to be the set of the worst science fiction television Floyd | show ever. Standing by the Captain's chair is a giant, humanoid lion. Floyd | Not only that, he is talking. Not only is he talking, he is insulting Floyd | you. "Quazar Beam", he bellows. "I have found one of the most Floyd | cacophonous sounds on earth. To save the world, I need you to play as Floyd | badly as possible." You stare. "Time is short", says the Lion.

Floyd ] Bridge 47 Floyd | Floyd | Bridge (in the band) Floyd | This is the bridge of the Alliance starship Deva Loka, in orbit around Floyd | Earth. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a Command Station, Flight Control, Operations Management, Floyd | Tactical Control, Mission Operations, Captain Hauror, Lieutenant Rynin, Floyd | and Lieutenant Jeldysh here. Floyd | Floyd | In the band you can see an amp, a mixer, a drum machine, Karl, Abby, Floyd | and Pamela.

Floyd ] Bridge 49 Floyd | Floyd | > PLAY GUITAR Floyd | You hear your guitar. Its notes echo loudly through Bridge producing a Floyd | sounds just like your standard screaming rock guitar. But it sounded Floyd | awful when played with the others in the band just then. Floyd | Floyd | Somewhere in the background an alarm begins to honk. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "play" | ||
Floyd ] Bridge 49 Floyd | Floyd | > PLAY Floyd | You begin to play your music, and it sounds horrible. The Sirens, Floyd | leading a mindless horde of singing crew members, have entered the Floyd | bridge in their terrifying chorus. Floyd | Floyd | You and your band find yourselves swept into their song. Floyd | Floyd | You burst into the eerie chant that is the Sirens' song, and you feel Floyd | your fear melt away. Your garage, the ship, and the Lion are all but Floyd | distant memories. The notes and rhythm rise and fall in what feels Floyd | like inexorable harmony: like a song you can't get out of your head. Floyd | The song is your world, and your world is this song. You sing it, and Floyd | you sing with the thralls. Floyd | Floyd | The Sirens, however, do not share your musical rapture. They writhe Floyd | in pain, fighting to sing, until at last one collapses onto the ground Floyd | and starts to scream. The scream jolts you back to your senses as the Floyd | other Sirens fall to the ground in cacophonous wails. The noise is so Floyd | awful, you hope you never remember them. Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly the Sirens are gone. Everyone slowly and cautiously takes Floyd | their fingers out of their ears. "Thank you." says the Lion. Floyd | Floyd | "In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the Lion waves Floyd | goodbye." Floyd | Floyd | "Wait!", you say. "What's going on? Are we safe now? What were those Floyd | things? How does space travel work? And are our cats and dogs... Floyd | well... " Before you can finish the bridge dissolves...

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Boston, four months later: In the center of the city, a new band is Floyd | playing at the music festival. The sound is distinctly different: a Floyd | prog rock for the modern era. The crowd, enraptured by the anthem-like Floyd | melody of worry-free joy, joins in on the top song of the festival: The Floyd | Sirens' Song.
