| Stew asks, "We're playing something new, eh?" | ||
| Stew asks, "What is the list of games available?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We haven't kept one in a long time. But right now I am cruising some IFDB lists." | ||
| Jacqueline | [LINK] | ||
| Roger asks, "Didn't some new thing just publish?" | ||
| Stew says, "It might be cool to play something like Planetfall." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, Emily just published The Mary Jane of Tomorrow." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Which was done as a prize for Steph Cherrywell." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Which is based on something...oh yes, Brain Guzzlers" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "That would probably be fun." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Tsp), "Yeah" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Which we've played." | ||
| Jacqueline | This is a lightly puzzly parser game with substantial procedural text components. | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'd be interested in it for that, even if it weren't set in Brainguzzlerland." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "What do people think?" | ||
| zarf arrives, full of fun and funk. | Stew says, "If we do play that, it will likely have bugs" | |
| Stew says, "Being just published" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "This is Emily." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And it's been out over a month." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So I don't really have that fear." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I've not played Brain Guzzlers, but I'm up for anything Emily." | ||
| Stew says, "Ah, I see. Good points." | ||
| Stew says, "Well, it got very quiet all of the sudden." | ||
| Stew says, "I'm not sure if that means people want to play it or not." | ||
| zarf says, "I do" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Jac might be having WIFI issues" | ||
| says (to Stew), "Apologies, I had to download it, upload it to Floyd, and check on something." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask maryjaneoftomorrow" | ||

Floyd | Jenny tilts her head and squints at the Pine Nut Queen of Tomorrow.
Floyd | It's dressed in pink and its chassis is chrome-embellished. You even
Floyd | gave it your own hairstyle.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Do you like her?" you ask.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Mary Jane, I-" Jenny gives you a sideways look. Things have been
Floyd | weird since you both almost died. You've been trying to listen better.
Floyd | "I wasn't expecting a present like this."
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | 1) "You said you hate being cooped up in the store alone! So now
Floyd | you can have a replica me. For company!"
Floyd | 2) "I had to recycle a lot of the supplies so my father wouldn't
Floyd | know what I was working on, but she's got all the same hardware as the
Floyd | Wife of Tomorrow."
Floyd | 3) "Happy Birthday!"

Floyd | Floyd | "This is amazing! And so impressive. You could have your own Floyd | engineering company if you wanted." But. You can tell there's a but. Floyd | "I just... couldn't you have made one of me? To run the shop? And then Floyd | I wouldn't need robot company because I could spend the afternoon with Floyd | actual you." Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | 1) "I couldn't copy you, silly!" Floyd | 2) "But... it would've been weird to give you a birthday present Floyd | that was another you."

Floyd ] Home-like Showroom Floyd | > Floyd | > 1 Floyd | Floyd | "I couldn't copy you, silly!" Just the idea of a Jenny of Tomorrow Floyd | makes you feel strange. You'd be telling her what to do and how to be, Floyd | a little like your father does with you, and... Floyd | Floyd | "Could you try?" Jenny asks. "It doesn't have to be an exact replica. Floyd | Just as long as it can ring up purchases and answer some basic plant Floyd | care questions, it ought to be fine... And maybe you want to make sure Floyd | it can bake, just in case." Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | 1) "I really like Jenny of Today." Floyd | 2) "Well, I might need some more training resources..." Floyd | 3) "Anything you want!" Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon asks, "er, what are training resources?" | |

| Jacqueline says, "No idea what training resources are." | ||

Floyd | Floyd | "If you really get stuck, call me," Jenny says. "But I bet you've got Floyd | more around here than you realize... oh! I'd better get going. Floyd | Speaking of the shop." Floyd | Floyd | She gets up and gives you half an apologetic smile. You try to think Floyd | of what to say. While you're thinking, Jenny kisses your cheek and Floyd | goes out. Floyd | Floyd | "Should I follow her?" The Pine Nut Queen turns hopefully to you. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | 1) "Not this time, kid." Floyd | 2) "We've got some more training to do." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "2, I would think" | |

The Pine Nut Queen takes a seat on the sofa.# The Mary Floyd | Jane of Tomorrow Floyd | Fanfic for Steph Cherrywell's Brain Guzzlers From Beyond! by Emily Floyd | Short Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 160605 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Home-like Showroom Floyd | There are plenty of actual laboratories at MinSystems Labs. This isn't Floyd | one of those: you train your robots in an ordinary household setting. Floyd | Floyd | Off to the east is the kitchen area, panelled in faux walnut, and Floyd | there's a bathroom, south, just for the sake of verisimilitude. The Floyd | robots do not need to use it. Floyd | Floyd | The Pine Nut Queen of Tomorrow is sitting properly on the sofa and Floyd | wearing a sash. The sash was a good touch, but it's not very Jenny. Floyd | Arranged on the coffee table in front of her (to make the room look Floyd | more realistic) are a poem book and Le Dernier Regret de Floyd | Thérèse. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Home-like Showroom Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You, Mary Jane Minsky, were the Pine Nut Queen of Canyonville, and Floyd | before that, Pine Nut Princess. You ride in parades. You taste pies. Floyd | You have an exquisitely efficient metabolism. You are beloved by the Floyd | entire citizenry. And that was even before you helped Bonstance Floyd | Noodleman save the town from the massive brain-suckage induced by Floyd | incoming yellow-slimed monsters. That's all in the past now. They're Floyd | probably not coming back. Floyd | Floyd | The Pine Nut Queen of Tomorrow looks at you. And blinks. Twice. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "hahaha" | |

| Jacqueline says, "Love that." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "so...we build robots." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "That's a good starting point." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "The robots do not need to use the bathroom, and neither generally does an IF PC, but they're often put in games anyway." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "heh" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "(I wouldn't put in a bathroom unless it was needed. So fiddly.)" | ||
| Stew says, "It appears we are a robot." | ||

"I did not take any of your things, if that is what you Floyd | are worried about." Floyd | Floyd | Okay, hang on, let's focus. Floyd | Floyd | The Pine Nut Queen of Tomorrow is still able to process new training Floyd | documents: books, manuals, pamphlets, any kind of written document. Floyd | You just need to give her something to work with. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | If anything goes too wrong with the training program, you can always Floyd | reset the Pine Nut Queen of Tomorrow back to hardware level with her Floyd | reset button. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Well, shall we give it a test spin by having her read the poem book?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I think it will fail horribly, but that it will likely be high-brow amusing." | ||

| Teaspoon exclaims, "have her read both books!" | ||
