ToyShop & Floyditorium		#ClubFloyd Discussion

Jacqueline hollers, "ClubFloyd at the top o' the hour! This week: one turn Fingertips games from Apollo 18+20."
Johnny arrives, full of fun and funk.
inky arrives, full of fun and funk.
genericgeekgirl arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.
djfletch arrives, full of fun and funk.
		Jacqueline says, "So, I need to synchronize clocks."
		Jacqueline says, "It is two past, when I thought it was just now top of the hour."
		Jacqueline asks, "How goes, everyone?"
		Binder says, "You'll have too much time on your hands, if you do."
		Jacqueline says (to Binder), "That would be a welcome predicament."
		Binder says, "It goes FANTASTIC"
		Jacqueline says, "Hooray"
		Jacqueline asks, "Because it is CF time, or something more substantial?"
		Binder exclaims, "what could be more impactful than CF?!"
		Jacqueline says, "I realized the folly of my words as soon as I hit return."
		Jacqueline says, "My apologies."
		Jacqueline says, "So, um, might just be you and I, since we're the only ones talking."
		Binder says, "repent jacqueline"
		Jacqueline exclaims, "I repent!"
		genericgeekgirl exclaims, "I'm here!"
		Binder exclaims, "But I saw people flock to the playroom!"
		genericgeekgirl says, "I just didn't have anything useful to say yet."
		djfletch says, "me neither"
		Binder asks, "... oh. is that ... important?"
		Binder ponders shutting the hell up.
		Jacqueline says (to Binder), "There are more people here, they just don't have an opinion on how things are this morning, because they are serious CFers, and here to play."
		Binder says, "ah, my revered elders"
		djfletch tries to look serious
		Binder says, "those guys owe me money"
		Jacqueline asks, "so... first up (unless I've lost track because of things played out of order while I was away): Everything is Catching Fire?"
		genericgeekgirl says, "Yeah"

If you had known Floyd \| that both it and you were going to be reduced to a pile of ash not Floyd \| twenty-four hours later, you wouldn't have bothered. What would be Floyd \| great is if you had some kind of advance warning of these things, Floyd \| though you guess if you had then you could've been well out of town by Floyd \| now. Obviously saving yourself would be better than just saving your Floyd \| suit. What would be even better than that, of course, would be saving Floyd \| the data that you've collected over the past few months--although if Floyd \| you could save both the data and yourself, that'd be best of all. Floyd \| Where did you leave that stuff, anyway? You're sure you left yourself Floyd \| a note about it somewhere around here... Floyd \| Floyd \| While you've been dithering, the fire has been spreading, and by the Floyd \| time you actually start thinking about how to get out, it's too late.

After two Floyd \| blissful days together, you found out she was working undercover for Floyd \| them, and that was the end of that. You kept the picture, Floyd \| though. In it she has her face half turned away from the camera, her Floyd \| long black hair and incredibly large hat obscuring most of her Floyd \| features. You always thought her distaste for being caught on film was Floyd \| shyness. You weren't sure what to make of the hats, though, even then. Floyd \| Floyd \| As you pick up the photograph, you notice a memo to yourself scribbled Floyd \| on the back, reminding you to do the things you gotta do and touch Floyd \| the... floor? Huh.

Floyd ] Hideout 4 Floyd \| Floyd \| > L UNDER BED Floyd \| Floyd \| You know you've got some important data hidden around here--you just Floyd \| don't know where. Could it be under the bed? You bend down and peer Floyd \| under it, but all you can see is your carefully cultivated dust bunny Floyd \| collection (shame to see that go, but what can you do, really) and a Floyd \| guitar. You find nothing underneath your pillow, either, but then Floyd \| you'd be surprised if you did find anything there. It's not a very Floyd \| good hiding place, especially since you're a bit of a restless Floyd \| sleeper. Finally, you check under your mattress, but that doesn't turn Floyd \| up anything either. Where could you have left it? You're pretty sure Floyd \| you wrote a note to remind yourself, but you don't remember where that Floyd \| is, either...

You crawl over Floyd \| to the board in question and push it down so that the end comes up, Floyd \| then fish the file out of the hole. You leave everything else Floyd \| behind--none of it was yours, anyway, besides that photo of your Floyd \| ex-girlfriend, and she was a jerk anyway, what with the whole Floyd \| ratting-you-out-to-the-enemy thing. Also, her taste in hats was Floyd \| terrible. Floyd \| Floyd \| Making your way to the window, you open it wide and make a daring Floyd \| exit, just as any dashing person of mystery should.
