| Jacqueline says, "So, we used to take a hiatus during the comp." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Last year we did not." | ||
| Roger arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||
| Knight_Otu arrives, ready to play with the toys. | ||
| Zach arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline asks, "But this year there are a **** ton of games, so perhaps we should?" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Or we should play a comp game that runs on Floyd?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "What do people think?" | ||
| Zach says, "That would help me play more games" | ||
| Guenni says, "Today no playing for me. The after nap fuzzyness won't go away." | ||
| Roger says, "I would support that" | ||
| Guenni says, "But generally, I think playing comp games that run on floyd sounds like a good idea." | ||
| DavidW arrives, full of fun and funk. | Jacqueline says, "Okay. I'll do a random shuffle and then pick the first Floydable game." | |
| Jacqueline says, "One sec." | ||

Floyd ] Guest Cabin Belowdecks Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | A century after The Cleansing Rains and a decade since the False Era Floyd | ended and knowledge of the world returned to humanity, civilization Floyd | reappears as independent city-states vie for power and territory. The Floyd | old borders are no more and new kingdoms struggle to emerge and Floyd | flourish. Weary of war, destruction, and corruption, many of these Floyd | sovereignties, such as Slezamane and Badushizd, seek to avoid Floyd | conflicts with neighbors and adopt isolationist or diplomatic Floyd | policies. Some, however, like the Sovereign State of Caleah, maintain Floyd | the ways of war and aggression. Floyd | Floyd | Native of the ancient village of Euyesus, which sat unseen from most Floyd | of the wars of the world, hidden beyond Fellwater Fen, you were raised Floyd | in an erudite family and trained as an interpreter. Beyond the Common Floyd | Tongue, which gained prevalence as a trade language, you also speak Floyd | and read the bygone dialect, Ixteesh. It is this talent that Floyd | brings you from Euyesus to Badushizd aboard one of your village's Floyd | bilgescows; a swamp-treading barge used for the minimal trade that Floyd | Euyesus does with a small handful of neighboring city-states. Floyd | Floyd | Travelling with you is an appointed minder, or what some call a Floyd | bodyguard. He is a sweaty, foul-mouthed sot but he's a proven soldier Floyd | and loyal to Euyesus and the errand at hand. His name is Venkath Floyd | Mock. Floyd | Floyd | On a generally northeastern route, the bilgescow trudged through many Floyd | miles of waterlogged swamp toward the strange and prosperous city of Floyd | Badushizd. You have just woken and dressed, and the barge will reach Floyd | the city's harbor by midday. Floyd | Floyd | A Castle Of Thread Floyd | An Interactive Story by Marshal Tenner Winter Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 171001 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Guest Cabin Floyd | This guest cabin barely gives one any real comfort, but on a no-frills Floyd | boat such as this you're lucky to even have a room to yourself. There Floyd | is no window as everything below deck is also below the bilge line. Floyd | As the barge moves through the muddy swamp waters, a constant and Floyd | hypnotic slushing sound gives the cabin a strange, claustrophobic Floyd | feel. Floyd | Floyd | A wooden plank bed hangs from one of the walls; no pillow or blanket Floyd | is provided, of course. A heavy wooden chair sits before a plank Floyd | shelf hanging from another wall; this one being a simple desk surface. Floyd | The only door is starboard (or east, as the boat is currently aimed Floyd | north). Floyd | Floyd | Someone has slipped a note under your door. Floyd | Floyd | On the wooden plank shelf is a glowstone lantern (providing light). Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a leather haversack (closed) here. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ah, this game. I started it but didn't get very far." | |
| Zach says, "mmm, bilgescow" | ||

Like most of the young | DavidW says, "The barge is called The Rhinoceros. You'll learn that a bit later." | |
Floyd | people in your village, you wear your hair long. Otherwise, you
Floyd | consider yourself unremarkable. Your only real talent is that you're
Floyd | fluent in Ixteesh, an ancient, dead language, along with the Common
Floyd | Tongue.

Some glowstone lanterns can be closed to block the Floyd | light. This isn't one of those, though. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Guest Cabin Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > READ LETTER Floyd | Floyd | Polt- Floyd | Don't be a damn fool while you are away from the village. Floyd | Remember, you are representing House Kober. Also, be sure to stay Floyd | near Venkath Mock. He is there to protect you on this errand. Floyd | As for that, when you reach Badushizd, seek Deviah at the Vulgar Floyd | Unicorn tavern. She is the go-between and will take you where you Floyd | need to be. Floyd | Be swift in this task and return home safe, son. Floyd | -Headman Phandaal Kober Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "oh yeah, we have a bodyguard. I wouldn't worry about the danger, then" | |

Floyd ] Guest Cabin Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > X SKEAN Floyd | Floyd | So named because it's been handed down in the Kober family for Floyd | generations, this is a double-edged dagger with an ornate hilt. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | (first opening guest door) Floyd | Floyd | Centerline Passage Fore Floyd | This is the fore end of the centerline passageway that runs down the Floyd | center of the barge, belowdecks. The craft is heading north and this Floyd | end of the passage has doors all around but to the south, where the Floyd | passage continues toward the stern. A short ramp slopes upwards to Floyd | the northeast, taking one topside. Floyd | Floyd | A heavy, ironwood table is situated here with a chair of matching wood Floyd | and age. Belowdecks, the air here has a hanging moisture. Floyd | Floyd | On the ironwood table is an old glowcube (providing light). Floyd | Floyd | Venkath Mock is leaning against the ironwood table, killing time until Floyd | the bilgescow reaches Badushizd Floyd | Floyd | Rakton, the First Mate, is here. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see Warpeye (the cat) here. Floyd | Floyd | Warpeye the cat scratches under his chin with his hind paw. Floyd | Floyd | Rakton looks around absently. Floyd | Floyd | Warpeye (the cat) goes west. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Pretty busy for a passage." | |
| Zach says, "it must be Warpeye (the cat) because there is also Warpeye (the rat)" | ||
| DavidW says, "Some NPCs wander." | ||
| Zach asks, "Tell Mock about the DANGER?" | ||
| Jacqueline clears the save counter. | ||

Floyd | > Floyd | > SAVE Floyd | %% Enter a save filename to write: Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > SAVEOk. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "With Rakton standing right here?" | |
| DavidW says, "Conversation in this game seems to be TALK TO character and SAVE something TO character." | ||
| Zach says, "Yeah, then we can double team him" | ||
| DavidW says, "er SHOW something, I mean." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "What if we give the note to Mock?" | ||
| Zach says, "that works too" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "show note to mock" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > SHOW NOTE TO MOCK Floyd | Floyd | Venkath Mock inspects the mysterious note. "Well, we're not far from Floyd | Badushizd. Stay close until we get there," He tells you. Floyd | Floyd | Ostothas arrives from the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "ha, lazy guard" | |
| Zach says, ">KILL RAKTON" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "kill rakton" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > KILL RAKTON Floyd | Floyd | Violence isn't the answer to this one. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "f mock mock" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "kill rakton with skean" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > KILL RAKTON WITH SKEAN Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the antecessor skean) Floyd | That wouldn't be too effective, you feel. Floyd | Floyd | Ostothas exhales, letting his lips flap like a horse's. Floyd | Floyd | Ostothas goes east. Floyd | Ostothas closes and locks mate's door. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Find his cabin?" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | (first opening mate's door) Floyd | You figure it might be best not to try to enter the First Mate's cabin Floyd | when he's here in the room with you. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline exclaims, "Found it!" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Probably." | ||
| DavidW says, "Found it quickly." | ||
| Zach says, "also that other guy just locked the door" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Which is a bit odd." | ||
| Zach asks, "What happens if we show the note to Ratty?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "show note to ratty" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > SHOW NOTE TO RATTY Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Ratty?" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Rakton?" | ||
| DavidW says, "Rakton, he means." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "show note to rakton" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > SHOW NOTE TO RAKTON Floyd | Floyd | You are about to ask Rakton what he thought of the note you found, but Floyd | you realize that since it mentions him as potentially dangerous, it Floyd | might not be a good idea. Floyd | Floyd | Apparently, Rakton is in a huff. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "talk to rakton" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO RAKTON Floyd | Floyd | You are already talking to Rakton. Floyd | Floyd | Venkath adjusts his scabbard and belt. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "topics" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > TOPICS Floyd | Floyd | You could ask Rakton about Rakton. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask rakton about rakton" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK RAKTON ABOUT RAKTON Floyd | Floyd | "I've never seen you around in Euyesus." You speak to the First Mate. Floyd | He looks your way for a moment but then basically ignores you. Floyd | Floyd | Rakton noisily cracks his knuckles. Floyd | Floyd | Venkath stretches his arms, eager to get off this boat. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask rakton about boat" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK RAKTON ABOUT BOAT Floyd | Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | Rakton looks around absently. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask rakton about me" | ||
Floyd ] Centerline Passage Fore Belowdecks Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK RAKTON ABOUT ME Floyd | Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | Rakton mumbles something about being excited to get to Badushizd. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "what a jerk" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Rude" | ||
| DavidW says, "Most NPCs don't seem to have a lot of topics associated with them." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ne" | ||
Floyd ] Starboard Fore Deck Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > NE Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Starboard Fore Deck Floyd | You're standing on the deck of The Rhinoceros. From here, you can see Floyd | the extent of this barge-like craft. This deck is low to the water Floyd | level as most of the ship is underwater. There is no railing as it's Floyd | easier to move large cargo onboard that way. The only structure on Floyd | the deck is toward the very bow (north). It's the wheelhouse, where Floyd | the captain pilots the craft. The door into it is closed. Around the Floyd | other parts of the deck, south, west, and southwest, you can see Floyd | various crates of cargo stacked. At the very back of the ship, you Floyd | can see the wide stern wheel ceaselessly paddling the ship northwards, Floyd | rhythmically chugging through the desolate, waterlogged swamp. A Floyd | wide, short ramp leads down to belowdecks. It is stained from boot Floyd | traffic and swamp water. Floyd | Floyd | The bilgescow passes close to the black willow trees on the sides of Floyd | the waterway. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Sorry, guess I should have asked before switching rooms." | |
| Zach says, "I'd rather die doing something stupid than be told that I refuse to do it" | ||
| Zach says, "In a game, that is" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Zach), "Thanks for that clarification." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "By the way, I think we can all drive." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I do not wish to be the sole driver." | ||
| Zach says, "I guess we could tell the captain about the deadly danger/prank note" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm. Sure." | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Wheelhouse Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | (first opening Wheelhouse door) Floyd | Floyd | Wheelhouse Floyd | This forward enclosure is the wheelhouse of the bilgescow. Glassless Floyd | windows open the walls forward, port, and starboard and the door to Floyd | the rest of the boat is stern (south). The eponymous wheel is one Floyd | solid piece of red oak and is fixed in the center of the forward Floyd | opening. A small closed hatch in the floor leads below deck. Floyd | Floyd | Tauzius, the captain of The Rhinoceros, stands by the wheel, casually Floyd | tending to it. He stares out at the waterways and swamp trees, only Floyd | giving you a glance. Floyd | Floyd | Outside of the wheelhouse, a strange, swampy smell drifts in. Floyd | Floyd | Tauzius scratches his beard thoughtfully. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "smell" | ||
Floyd ] Wheelhouse Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > SMELL Floyd | Floyd | You smell nothing unexpected. Floyd | Floyd | Tauzius watches you warily. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Zach says, "No, my death isn't "interesting"!!" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "talk to captain" | ||
Floyd ] Wheelhouse Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO CAPTAIN Floyd | Floyd | You are already talking to Tauzius. Floyd | Floyd | Outside of the wheelhouse, loud buzzing insects create a clamor. Floyd | Floyd | The captain glances around the scenery outside the wheelhouse Floyd | enclosure. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "snrk" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "topics" | ||
Floyd ] Wheelhouse Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > TOPICS Floyd | Floyd | You could ask Tauzius about Tauzius or the mysterious note. Floyd | Floyd | Outside of the wheelhouse, you spy a large snake slithering on the Floyd | surface of the brackish water. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "ask about note" | ||
Floyd ] Wheelhouse Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > ASK ABOUT NOTE Floyd | Floyd | "Someone slid a note under my door some time before morning." You tell Floyd | the Captain, "It warns me about your first mate." Floyd | Floyd | Captain Tauzius looks pensive for a moment. Finally, he says, "Rakton Floyd | signed on a few days ago. I haven't been totally sold on him, really. Floyd | He's a bit too. . .distant for my liking." Tauzius looks out the Floyd | glassless windows. "I don't know who gave you that warning, shaver. Floyd | You should avoid Rakton, I guess. And I will keep my eye on him." Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu asks, "Wait, a few days ago?" | |
| Knight_Otu asks, "And already first mate?" | ||
| Roger says, "hmmm this reminds me a bit of 80 Days" | ||
| DavidW says, "mm" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It's all about the experience." | ||
| Zach says, "he murdered his way to the top" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "a captain" | ||
Floyd ] Wheelhouse Topside Floyd | > Floyd | > A CAPTAIN Floyd | Floyd | "All in all, an uneventful trip, eh?" You ask the Captain, hoping to Floyd | sound friendly enough. Floyd | Floyd | Tauzius replies with a sidelong glance. An uncomfortable air erupts Floyd | between the two of you until he finally speaks. Floyd | Floyd | "This is the farthest you've been from Euyesus, huh, shaver?" He asks Floyd | you. You've always hated being called that, but you figure most boys Floyd | do. Floyd | Floyd | "Yes," you answer, "And I'm not quite sure Badushizd will be my only Floyd | stop." Floyd | Floyd | Tauzius looks as if he's deciding something before instructing you to, Floyd | "Head down that small hatch to my cabin and fetch me my slide rule. Floyd | If you do, I'll give you something that might keep you safe in your Floyd | travels." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Everyone is lazy." | |
| Roger says, "hunh you don't see literal fetch quests all that often in IF" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Then again, he *is* driving the ship" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "To b fair, the captain shouldn't be leaving the wheel." | ||
| Zach asks, "slide rule? Why does he need logarithms to turn a wheel?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Maybe he's going to show us a cool math trick" | ||
| DavidW says, "Find the rule and find out." | ||
