NightFloyd Transcript:
The Story of Mr. P. by Hannes
As played on ifMUD on April 24, 2014

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions (but not always, as you'll see in this transcript). NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of The Story of Mr. P. written by Hannes. The Story of Mr. P was released as part of the 2014 Spring Thing. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

genericgeekgirl says, "NightFloyd tonight at 22:00 ET. Come prepared with game suggestions."
Zach exclaims, "Hooray!"
Zach asks, "Do you have any ideas for a game tonight?"
DavidW says, "No, I didn't even remember it was NightFloydNight"
Zach asks, "Have you played all the Springcomp games?"
DavidW says, "no, just some"
DavidW says, "I played the one about hexagons, the one called Bibliophile, the one called Surface, and I started the ones about Mr P and the one at a house party, but haven't finished either."
Zach says, "I haven't played any yet"
genericgeekgirl says, "There are four that would be playable here. DW's already played Bibliophile, but there's Story of Mr P, if he's willing to restart it with us, and also Bear Creek and Wyldkynd Project (we can play Alan, yeah?)."
genericgeekgirl says, "Oh. Maybe not. "requires the latest Alan 3.0 Beta4.""
DavidW says, "We probably can't play the Alan one on Floyd. It will need the newest Alan terp."
genericgeekgirl asks, "Yeah. Well, one of the other two then?"
DavidW says, "oh, I started Bear Creek but never finished it."
DavidW says, "I'm not sure how well I can Floyd tonight with my ISP lagging so badly."
DavidW says, "I didn't finish Bear Creek because it was obviously leading up to something unpleasant that I didn't really want to see. But I'd willing to try that one again."
DavidW says, "My problem with Mr P is similar, but the danger is much less defined and surreal."
DavidW says, "If I had to choose which to play, I'd opt for Mr P because it confuses me more and I could use some extra perspectives."

Floyd | This is the house's central hub. All other rooms, i.e. the bedroom,

Floyd | large panorama window, leads right into this room. Because of the
Floyd | number of exits, there isn't actually all this much usable space
Floyd | available, but Margaret has come up with a clever arrangement of the
Floyd | sofa and the matching table as well as the slender floor lamp which
Floyd | really gets the maximum out of it!

Floyd | example, you had a shower built in instead of a tub. Next to that,
Floyd | there is a sink with a mirror hung to the wall above, and on the

Floyd | is to be done. While you are talking, you see your boss's brow
Floyd | furrowing, but he lets you continue. After you're done talking, there
Floyd | is an awkward moment of silence. "You seem to be overworked. Actually,
Floyd | your face looks quite pale. It's almost half past four, why don't you
Floyd | take the rest of the day off? It's OK to do that once in a while on a

Floyd | The Story of Mr. P. was written by Hannes Schüller in 2013.
Floyd | Originally published in German language under the title Die
Floyd | Geschichte des Herrn P., it was adapted into English in early
Floyd | 2014. This English release 1 is technically equivalent with the German
Floyd | release 4. The author loves receiving all kinds of feedback and game
Floyd | transcripts at hannes (at) yllr.net.
Floyd |
Floyd | Particular thanks go out to Martin Barth and Martin Oehm who were
Floyd | there for advice and tests all through the development phases. In
Floyd | addition, Michael Baltes, Colin Djukic, Marius Müller and Mischa
Floyd | Magyar tested the beta versions - thank you as well! This English
Floyd | version comes to you thanks to Brian Cowell, Andrew Schultz and Jerry
Floyd | Ford, all of whom tirelessly waded through my attempts at finding
Floyd | adequate translations of the original texts and offered many helpful
Floyd | corrections and suggestions.

Floyd | You hear your wife's light breathing behind you, and turn over to be
Floyd | soothed by the sight of her features which are especially lovely in
Floyd | her sleep. You freeze - lying next to you, still in deep slumber, is
Floyd | Dorothy, your neighbor! You realize that this must be
Floyd | her bedroom. Not only are you two lying in bed together, but
Floyd | as you also only just notice, you are naked! How on earth did you get
Floyd | yourself into this embarrassing situation? You jump up; it's obvious
Floyd | that you should take off as quickly as possible and, even more
Floyd | importantly, unnoticed, before her husband returns!

Floyd | Bedroom
Floyd | You're currently not in the mood to examine the room in more detail.
Floyd | The large double bed, on which Dorothy is lying, is immediately
Floyd | visible, of course. She is still asleep. Next to the bed, on your

Floyd | trouser press. Two doors, one to the south and one to the east, lead
Floyd | into other rooms. Assuming a similar layout compared to your own
Floyd | house, one of these should lead to the living room.
Floyd | On the trouser press is a sports coat.

Floyd | her bedroom. Whatever did you two do in her bed, naked to
Floyd | make things worse? How on earth did you get yourself into this
Floyd | embarrassing situation? It's obvious that you should take off as
Floyd | quickly as possible and, even more importantly, unnoticed, before her
Floyd | husband returns!

Floyd | The neighbors' living room contains the usual furniture, but you're
Floyd | currently not in the mood to examine them in more detail. The only
Floyd | things that are important in your situation are the exits, which lead

Floyd | There is also the front door leading out into the street, of course.

Floyd | So this is the legendary room which Dorothy uses for her hobby:

Floyd | the bedroom.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the dress form is a colorful costume.

Floyd | Using the protection of the hedge, you climb through the window. Using
Floyd | the critical moment, you cover your face with the blanket so that
Floyd | nobody can recognize you and run across the street into the park.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Park (eastern entrance)
Floyd | To the east, the park ends in a fairly massive row of thorny bushes. A

Floyd |
Floyd | > SIT ON BENCH
Floyd |
Floyd | As you carefully approach the bench, the birds keep perfectly still.
Floyd | You settle down between them. Some birds even hop on your legs. You
Floyd | let all the tension go from your body and decide to live with them.
Floyd |
Floyd | A couple of weeks later, one of your little trips lead you back to
Floyd | your former house. You and your friends land on the window sill.
Floyd | Through the window, you see a boy sitting on the living room carpet,
Floyd | playing with toy bricks, while Margaret and Robert harmoniously sit at
Floyd | the table drinking coffee. When she notices you, Margaret carefully
Floyd | opens the window, motions her son over and hands him a cookie from the
Floyd | table which he crumbles and throws towards you outside. In spite of
Floyd | this welcome gift, you have a powerful sense that soon the cold season
Floyd | will begin. Your flock moves towards warmer shores.

genericgeekgirl says, "That."
Zach says, "Interesting"
DavidW asks, "What was different that time?"
Zach asks, "Wearing the blanket?"
DavidW says, "We had the blanket before."
genericgeekgirl says, "No, it had vanished."
DavidW says, "I thought the costume vanished"
genericgeekgirl says, "Everything last time vanished."
genericgeekgirl says, "Remember, we were naked with a wallet in the park."
DavidW says, "oh, I see what you mean"
genericgeekgirl says, "So bizarre :/"
genericgeekgirl says, "Ok, that's more than half the endings. I'm content-ish."
DavidW asks, "And we don't know why the blanket vanished the first time?"
genericgeekgirl says, "Nope :("
DavidW asks, "This is a very banana of discord sort of game, isn't it?"
genericgeekgirl says, "I thought maybe the costume was bright and the birds would like it, but apparently that just somehow kept the blanket from going away."
DavidW says, "I'm glad we got a bird ending."
Zach says, "Strange, but interesting"
Zach says, "The alienation of the modern man missing lunch"
Zach has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. DavidW says, "Thanks for the game!"
