Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Duckman Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Peregrine Wade Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 170728 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Dead End Floyd | The dark north-south alleyway ends here with a brutal dead end. A Floyd | blind man would break his nose against a solid brick wall, if he were Floyd | unlucky enough to be running this way. Good thing you're not a blind Floyd | man. Floyd | Floyd | > | says, "I hope that the game I want to write makes it onto Floyd. I have noticed that there aren't very many cat games, so that's the type of game that I wish to write." | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Wow. Interesting way to start. Callista, can I ask how that intro makes you feel?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying nothing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | Let's face the facts: you are a giant, anthropomorphic duck wearing a Floyd | weatherworn trenchcoat and a black sombrero. You are Duckman, or so Floyd | the local newspapers have nicknamed you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista says (to Jacqueline), "I'd hate to be rude to the author, but that makes me feel a little insulted. Blind people don't just stumble around; that seems to be everyone's misconception. I'm just like anybody else." | |
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, I was kind of wondering. Thanks for sharing that." | ||
| Roger arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline says, "I think that's good feedback for the author to have, actually." | |
| Jacqueline says, "So if we are an anthropomorphic duck, can we fly" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > U Floyd | Floyd | The alleyway end suddenly to the south. There are only two ways out: Floyd | north... or up. Your choice. Isn't it all about choices, anyway? You Floyd | can't save everyone, after all, no matter how hard you try. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista says (to Jacqueline), "Is that what you were asking about? Well, that was certainly an odd intro, I have to say." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Callista), "Yep, that's what I was asking about." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, did we go up or not? Maybe it was thinking we wouldn't think to go up?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | Dead End Floyd | The dark north-south alleyway ends here with a brutal dead end. A Floyd | blind man would break his nose against a solid brick wall, if he were Floyd | unlucky enough to be running this way. Good thing you're not a blind Floyd | man. Floyd | Floyd | Frank arrives from the north. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I don't think we actually went up." | |
| Jacqueline says, "Weird." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > U Floyd | Floyd | The alleyway end suddenly to the south. There are only two ways out: Floyd | north... or up. Your choice. Isn't it all about choices, anyway? You Floyd | can't save everyone, after all, no matter how hard you try. Floyd | Floyd | Someone -- you reckon his name is Frank -- appears to be trying to Floyd | punch down a brick wall with his bare fists. "Argh!" he groans, Floyd | nursing his sore knuckles. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista says (to Jacqueline), "Yeah, I would probably have a guide dog, so I probably wouldn't run into anything." | |
| Jacqueline nods. | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x frank" | Benjamin says, "What an odd game." | |
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > X FRANK Floyd | Floyd | A dark-haired guy wearing dirty jeans and a kingfisher T-shirt. You've Floyd | seen him before. Maybe even heard his name? People call him Frank, Floyd | right? Yup. Floyd | Floyd | Frank -- if you've got his name right -- is staring at a brick wall. Floyd | He turns around suddenly and sees you. "Duckman! Shit! I haven't done Floyd | anything wrong!" Floyd | Floyd | "Wait a second --" you begin, but the guy in question decides to make Floyd | a run for it, and disappears up Blind Man's Alley. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "huh" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "follow frank]" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > FOLLOW FRANK] Floyd | Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "follow frank" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > FOLLOW FRANK Floyd | Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd ] Dead End Floyd | > Floyd | > U Floyd | Floyd | The alleyway end suddenly to the south. There are only two ways out: Floyd | north... or up. Your choice. Isn't it all about choices, anyway? You Floyd | can't save everyone, after all, no matter how hard you try. Floyd | Floyd | > | Benjamin asks, "Can we go north?" | |
| Callista has had her fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Jacqueline says, "So, I think that's supposed to read 'the alleyway ends suddenly' and the game implied we can go up, but I don't think we actually can." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Blind Man's Alley Floyd | Blind Man's Alley heads further down to the south. Main Street lies to Floyd | the north, a seething mass of nocturnal pedestrians and overspeeding Floyd | cars. To the east, you can plainly see that a seedy-looking joint Floyd | seems to be still open at this time of night. Its billboard proclaims Floyd | it to be "The Real Thing". Floyd | Floyd | The Spoonatic dances around you, taunting you with his teaspoons. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x spoonatic" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > X SPOONATIC Floyd | Floyd | Your average insane supervillain, minus the actual super-powers. He Floyd | has a formidable arsenal of silver spoons with which to stab poor Floyd | innocent tax-paying citizens, and wears a pink wig and a scarlet Floyd | cloak. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Wasn't there a movie called Duckman?" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "A silly movie?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Ah. There was a TV series, but it is not the thing I'm thinking of" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "talk to spoonatic" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO SPOONATIC Floyd | Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask spoonatic about spoons" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK SPOONATIC ABOUT SPOONS Floyd | Floyd | "I love spoons. Don't you?" he confides in you briefly. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask spoonatic about spoonatic" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK SPOONATIC ABOUT SPOONATIC Floyd | Floyd | The Spoonatic merely laughs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask spoonatic about me" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK SPOONATIC ABOUT ME Floyd | Floyd | The Spoonatic merely laughs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x spoons" | ||
Floyd ] Blind Man's Alley Floyd | > Floyd | > X SPOONS Floyd | Floyd | They glisten in the light with a crimson hue. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks (of Benjamin), "Ideas?" | |
| Benjamin asks, "Go east?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Real Thing Floyd | Yep. It's a seedy joint, all right. Filled with the wrong kind of Floyd | people, all drinking the wrong kind of alcohol and having a thoroughly Floyd | good time. The way out is to the west, and there are apparently toilet Floyd | facilities to the east. Floyd | Floyd | "...word's on the street that there's a new hero in town, dude..." Floyd | Floyd | The Spoonatic arrives from the west. Floyd | Floyd | > | Benjamin says, "He's following us." | |
| Jacqueline says, "yeah" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "buy alcohol" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > BUY ALCOHOL Floyd | Floyd | The bartender pours some beer for you, and you dip your beak Floyd | tentatively in the stuff. You immediately wish you hadn't. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I guess it would be difficult to drink from a glass if you had a duckbill." | |
| Jacqueline says, "You'd probably just need a straw, maybe." | ||
| Benjamin says, "Probably." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x people" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > X PEOPLE Floyd | Floyd | They are so drunk, they barely notice the fact that a rather Floyd | conspicuous anthropomorphic duck has just barged his way into their Floyd | part of town. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "drink beer" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > DRINK BEER Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "So, um, I'm happy to keep playing this if you want to, but I also kind of have an idea of what my vote is going to be already, which I realize is a little quick to judgment, but..." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "save people" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > SAVE PEOPLE Floyd | Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to save. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "capture spoonatic" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > CAPTURE SPOONATIC Floyd | Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "defeat spoonatic" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > DEFEAT SPOONATIC Floyd | Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "attack spoonatic" | ||
Floyd ] Real Thing Floyd | > Floyd | > ATTACK SPOONATIC Floyd | Floyd | With one blow of your wing, you send him flying out of sight. Floyd | "Wheeeee!" he screams, delighted that you are finally giving him your Floyd | full and undivided attention. You do not see him land, however you Floyd | know that he'll be back soon enough to pester you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Benjamin says, "It's fine by me if we go on to the next one." | |
| Jacqueline logs into [LINK] to vote | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I usually don't vote in introcomp, but since this is my last year organizing it, I think I will." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Would you like... ack, am I alone now?" | ||
| Jacqueline looks around. | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hi, Roger." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Are you actually here?" | ||
| Jacqueline takes that as a no and goes to write feedback for Duckman and then she'll go back to uploading transcripts, which may in fact be finished up today, particularly since CF seems to have spontaneously fizzled. | ||
| Guenni arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Guenni says, "Looks I didn't miss any floyding after all." | |
| Guenni says, "Did just nobody watch the clock? Or is today a general celebration of summer lazyness." | ||
| Genevieve says, "looks like you missed one introcomp game. So did I, but for good reason. Was on the phone with my mum, whom I hadn't talked to in a week." | ||
| Genevieve says, "Also, I didn't see that game, but I too take objection to the idea of blind people stumbling around." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "If you recap you'll see that everyone abandoned me." | ||
