| DavidW says, "I am both attracted and repelled from Zorkian Stories. Like, I like Zork stuff, but new authors have a tendency to just. not. get. it." | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims (at DW), "Well, we could be like the grand Implementors in the sky and look down upon that game and judge it!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I have been pleased by at least one modern, non-Infocom Zork thing." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So it's possible that it's great." | ||
| DavidW says, "That would be pleasant." | ||
| DavidW says, "unlike that zork blood choas part 1, or whatever it was called." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, maga hates Zork full stop, but he rarely plays anyway, and no one else is talking, so maybe since you and I both are open to the possibility that it will be fun, perhaps we should see if the Zork game is fun." | ||
| DavidW asks (of maga), "??" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "(The pleasant new Zork experience I was in reference to was Zork: A Troll's-Eye View, btw... which I thought was just terribly clever.)" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "I'm not making this up." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "He hates everything that is old school." | ||
| Zach arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Jacqueline says, "He hates the kids on our lawn, too." | |
| DavidW says, "oh dear" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "maga is 78. Did you not know this?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I did not." | ||
| maga says, "meh" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "See?" | ||
| maga says, "(and yes, I have never enjoyed Zork very much, and consider homages to it to be a giant waste of everybody's time)" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "See?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "I don't understand it, either." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Anyway, shall we?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm getting verklempt." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "ha" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'll give you a moment." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "..." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "..." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "..." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "..." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "..." | ||
| Jacqueline chuckles to herself, but wonders idly if David needs a kleenex or a glass of water or something. | ||
| DavidW says (to maga), "The Great Underground Empire was neither Great nor Underground. Don't bother to discuss." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "heehee" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, on that note." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask zorkianstories1" | ||
| Floyd says (to Jacqueline), "Floyd doesn't know that game." | Jacqueline says, "Well, that was anti-climatic." | |
| Jacqueline says, "I hate when I do that." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh! I put a typo in the file name. Oops." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask zorkainstories1" | ||
Floyd ] Vault 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Finally making it to the Eastlands, you find a shaft leading to the Floyd | depths of the Great Underground Empire where, supposedly, lost Floyd | treasures that have been forgotten for centuries are waiting to be Floyd | found again. Floyd | Floyd | Zorkian Stories 1: G.U.E. Floyd | A diversion by Marshal Tenner Winter Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 121014 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) SD Floyd | Floyd | Vault Floyd | This chamber is made of black stone. The walls are pocked with age; Floyd | showing faded frescos, the subject of which can no longer be Floyd | determined. The only exit is west, into a long. sloping tunnel that Floyd | eventually leads back outside. The weight of stone presses upon you, Floyd | and you feel you must be deep underground. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "So far, I like it. But I have to wonder if it's even Xyzzy-eligible, given that it's a copyrighted universe." | |
| maga says, "the XYZZYs don't care about copyright" | ||
| Zach says, "Can't...breathe... stone" | ||
| maga says, "you're thinking of the comp" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm not trying to start a copyright rabbit trail, just wondering... hm, maybe I'm confusing these rules with the comp--" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Timing." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, cool." | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of Zach), "Can you at least breathe if it's old skool?" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x fresco" | ||
Floyd ] Vault 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > X FRESCO Floyd | Floyd | The frescos are faded from countless centuries. It is diffifcult to Floyd | make out the scene, but you can see that there are images of people Floyd | around an arch. Given the faint colors and barely-recognizable Floyd | costuming, you think one of the people in the image is none other than Floyd | King Duncanthrax who created the G.U.E. centuries ago. On this image, Floyd | his eyes are still fresh-seeming; standing out from the rest of the Floyd | faded image. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "I hope there's not a breath timer" | |
| DavidW says, "hm. This setting seems familiar. I may have already played it and forgot." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pusth eyes" | ||
Floyd ] Vault 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > PUSTH EYES Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "push eyes" | ||
Floyd ] Vault 1/3 Floyd | Floyd | > PUSH EYES Floyd | Floyd | You place your fingers onto the eyes of the fresco and push them Floyd | inward. They do, in fact, sink in slightly and you hear an audible Floyd | click. Around the edges of the fresco, dust falls as if Floyd | pushed by wind behind the wall itself. This fresco is most certainly Floyd | a door that can be opened, you feel. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "yeah. I've played this before. oops." | |
| Jacqueline says, ";wow" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Well, Zach, shall we?" | ||
| Zach says, "After you, madame" | ||
| DavidW says, "It's coming back to me." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd ] Vault 1/3 Floyd | Floyd | > OPEN DOOR Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "open door" | ||

Floyd ] Vault 1/3 Floyd | Floyd | > FEEL DOOR Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to DW), "Okay, Celine." | |

It is diffifcult to Floyd | make out the scene, but you can see that there are images of people Floyd | around an arch.

On this image, Floyd | his eyes are still fresh-seeming; standing out from the rest of the Floyd | faded image. The wall that the fresco is painted onto is open like a Floyd | doorway.

Floyd ] Secret Passage 1/7 Floyd | Floyd | > ENTER FRESCO Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Secret Passage Floyd | You are in a secret passage beyond the fresco wall. The air is thick Floyd | with dust that has not been disturbed in what must be a millenia. Floyd | There are dark passages to the north, east, and south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/8 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Ancient Shrine Floyd | This is an ancient shrine. A dust covered altar sits at the north Floyd | wall. On that wall is an engraving of a forgotten god. Whatever Floyd | treasures lay in offering have long since been pillaged. On the floor Floyd | are bones of a long-dead adventurer or pilgrim. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Hm, so I guess that, had we gone west in the first room, the game would have ended? One of those CYOA 'You decide to not enter the cave of time, because you suck and don't like adventures, so this is THE END.'?" | |
| Fang says (to Floyd), "x engraving" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/9 Floyd | Floyd | > X ENGRAVING Floyd | Floyd | It is an engraving of an obsolete god with many arms and legs. It is Floyd | androgynous and appears to be frozen while in some sort of frenzied Floyd | dance. Thinking back to your days at G.U.E. Tech's Contrastable Floyd | Religions course, you think it is Sheeva; a god who was believed Floyd | to keep the universe in motion while he danced and if he ever stopped, Floyd | the world would end. You think that, given the state of things, maybe Floyd | he stopped dancing long ago. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "hm. I just remembered that this game is rather buggy in a few places." | |
| DavidW says, "Not yet though, but later on." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "search bones" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/10 Floyd | Floyd | > SEARCH BONES Floyd | Floyd | You find nothing of interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "Or 'The cavern collapses in on you and you die! THE END'" | |
| Fang says, "maybe the game will just tell you that you can't go that way" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/11 Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | an elvish sword Floyd | a small lantern (providing light) Floyd | a backpack (being worn and open but empty) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/12 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are an adventurer and you appear as such. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x bones" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/13 Floyd | Floyd | > X BONES Floyd | Floyd | It seems to once have been a traveler or adventurer who met his fate Floyd | down here long ago. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Fang says (to Floyd), "x altar" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/14 Floyd | Floyd | > X ALTAR Floyd | Floyd | (the altar) Floyd | It is a simple affair since the engraving is complicated enough. Floyd | Whatever offerings were once left on this altar for this god have long Floyd | since vanished. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "sword" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/14 Floyd | Floyd | > SWORD Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x sword" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/15 Floyd | Floyd | > X SWORD Floyd | Floyd | It is your standard elvish sword. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Fang says (to Floyd), "put sword on altar" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/16 Floyd | Floyd | > PUT SWORD ON ALTAR Floyd | Floyd | (the altar) Floyd | You put the elvish sword on the altar. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Zach says (to Floyd), "x lantern" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/18 Floyd | Floyd | > X LANTERN Floyd | Floyd | It is your typical Frobozz Ev-R-Lit lantern. It remains lit for an Floyd | entire generation before dying out. Too bad you found this one during Floyd | your travel to the Eastlands and you aren't sure how long it's been Floyd | on. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

On that wall is an engraving of a forgotten god. Whatever Floyd | treasures lay in offering have long since been pillaged. On the floor Floyd | are bones of a long-dead adventurer or pilgrim.

| Zach says (to Floyd), "stand on altar" | ||
Floyd ] Ancient Shrine 1/22 Floyd | Floyd | > STAND ON ALTAR Floyd | Floyd | (the altar) Floyd | That's not something you can stand on. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

It is Floyd | androgynous and appears to be frozen while in some sort of frenzied Floyd | dance. Thinking back to your days at G.U.E.

Floyd ] Intersection 1/28 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Intersection Floyd | This intersection is dominated by an ancient gate blocking passage to Floyd | the east. Tunnels run north, west, and south; each into darkness. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x gate" | ||
Floyd ] Intersection 1/29 Floyd | Floyd | > X GATE Floyd | Floyd | The ancient gate is black and the design is the Gothic style that was Floyd | popular centuries ago in the Great Underground Empire. It would be Floyd | impossible to squeeze through, and darkness dominates the other side. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "open gate" | ||
Floyd ] Intersection 1/30 Floyd | Floyd | > OPEN GATE Floyd | Floyd | It seems to be locked. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Is this implying that Zork stuff is way in our future?" | |
| DavidW asks, "um, we're already in Zork, no?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "No, I mean 'our' as in 'yours and mine IRL'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Like the gothic reference and ... hm, no, I guess Shiva was spelled Sheeva but maybe that is how it's really spelled..." | ||
| Zach asks, "Why in our future?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I've never thought that Zork could be the future of the real world, ever." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "No, looks like it's spelled 'Shiva' or 'Siva', so maybe that was just an homage or something." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Nor I." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, gothic is a particular style and time period in our world, one I've never seen referenced in Zork, that's all." | ||

Floyd ] Wet Cave 1/31 Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Wet Cave Floyd | This chamber is half-carved as a dungeon room, but then the back half Floyd | degenerates into rough walls of a cave; unfinished by the carvers of Floyd | these tunnels. Water drips from the ceiling of the rough portion of Floyd | the chamber, forming a puddle in the back portion of the area. The Floyd | drip echoes around the chamber, giving the place an air of creepiness, Floyd | but otherwise, it appears empty. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Zork has always borrowed homages or parodies of real world items and people ,though." | |

Floyd ] Wet Cave 1/33 Floyd | Floyd | > SEARCH PUDDLE Floyd | Floyd | You move your hand around the cold, dark water, finding nothing at Floyd | first and about to give up, when you feel something. Pulling it out, Floyd | you see you have found a skull. Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says, "old-style anglicisation often uses double letters" | |
| Jacqueline says, "bleh" | ||
| Fang says (to Floyd), "x skull" | ||
Floyd ] Wet Cave 1/34 Floyd | Floyd | > X SKULL Floyd | Floyd | It is small; maybe that of a child or a small person. It has been Floyd | washed clean having been underwater for who-knows-how-long. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to maga), "Does it? Huh." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "kiss skull" | ||
Floyd ] Wet Cave 1/34 Floyd | Floyd | > KISS SKULL Floyd | Floyd | You can only do that to something animate. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Keep the skull." | |
| maga says, "(Sheeva for Shiva, Hindoo for Hindu, etc. Usually it's avoided now because it looks colonialist and patronising)" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "look in skull" | ||
