| Jacqueline asks (of Johnny), "Could you please take a look at the Apollo list and let me know where you guys left off?" | ||
| Johnny says, "We skipped over Which Describes How Youre Feeling for technical reasons that have been resolved." | ||
| zarf says, "all recent changes to fizmo have been irrelevant to clubfloyd" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sorry, folks, thought we were good to go - let me go look at last week's transcript to see which one we should start with today." | ||
| Johnny says, "We skipped 12, stopped at 14." | ||
| Johnny says, "Since jojo was supposed to maybe show up today." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, If I Wasn't Shy?" | ||
| Binder arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Johnny says, "Oh, waitasec." | |
| Binder says, "We did do See the Constellation and Hall of Heads and if there was something else I'm blanking." | ||
| Johnny says, "Well, we had skipped Which Describes How You're Feeling, but it should work now." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sorry, I should have perused the transcript more, as I made the silly assumption you'd played in order (which we fail to do often enough that I should never take that as the primary possibility)." | ||
| Binder says, "yeah, it was an attempt to be in order, just not contiguous" | ||
| ASchultz says, "Dinner Bell too" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So... Which Describes How You're Feeling first, while I peruse other stuff to see what we've played?" | ||
| Binder says, "oh yes, that was the other one" | ||
| Johnny says, "We did Dinner Bell (09), Hall of Heads (11), and See the Constellation (13)." | ||
| ASchultz says, "We skipped Narrow Your Eyes since the graphics made it unfloydable" | ||
| Yuri arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline asks, "I should load Which Describes How You're Feeling?" | |
| Johnny says, "And skipped WDHYF because it was actually a renamed Space Suit." | ||
| Jacqueline is confused now. | ||
| Johnny says, "But inky or vimes fixed it." | ||
| Binder says, "SUCCESS" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So... um..." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "WDHYF?" | ||
| Johnny says, "Yes." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "phew." | ||
| inky arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Jacqueline asks, "What's the syntax again? f load sleepmask game?" | |
| vimes says, "yep." | ||
| Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask a18whichdescribes" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Sigh. In retrospect, admitting yourself to this overseas sanitarium Floyd | was a bad idea. The grounds here are beautiful, and the food is Floyd | divine, but you're becoming impatient with the doctorsâdoctors whose Floyd | techniques could be charitably described as "unorthodox." Very little Floyd | psychotherapy, and a bit too much word play. In any case, your Floyd | disabling malaise has proven unshakeable. Floyd | Floyd | Today, you face your final evaluation with Dr. Schuyler. If you pass, Floyd | you'll be able to leave this place, perhaps to renew your attempts at Floyd | recuperation elsewhere.
