Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Reality is an illusion. Floyd | Floyd | Those who seek to understand it corrode their understanding of it. In Floyd | naïveté, objects are solid, ideas are true or false, sensations are Floyd | real, and communication conveys information. To the adept, these Floyd | things are as fading dreams. Floyd | Floyd | There is no object that is not also emptiness. There is no arbiter of Floyd | truth. Floyd | Floyd | Sensations are the lies of Maya; they are the shifting of electrical Floyd | patterns in the brain; they are signifiers without referent. Floyd | Floyd | Communication is violence. Reality is false. Floyd | Floyd | It does not matter how many layers one peels back. It does not matter Floyd | what revelations one has. This is because there is no truth. Floyd | Floyd | We are things that we have dreamed, and there is no sense in it, and Floyd | when the sleeper wakes we shall be washed away. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Please press SPACE to continue. | DavidW says, "oh dear. And I've had so little sleep last night." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Sounds more Nihilist than Fatalist." | ||
| DavidW says, "Earlier this week, I bought a sandwich and one of the workers at the shop brought napkins to my table and I had a moment where I wondered what puzzle they were for." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "That's dedication." | ||
| DavidW says, "It's been one of those weeks." | ||
| DavidW pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd ] Crossroads Floyd | From the ranks of the people you have been raised up as a Wisher— Floyd | Floyd | To seek among the fairies; Floyd | the dragons of the deeps; Floyd | the ur-toads and the claw things; Floyd | among the shadows on the sun and the ghosts beneath the world, Floyd | and in the lands of humankind besides Floyd | for the jewel of all desiring. Floyd | Floyd | You must find the jewel and command the Creator to make the world as Floyd | you desire it. And if you should succeed, then the world shall always Floyd | have been as you wish it, and your life a thing sprung of your own Floyd | desiring; and if you should fail then you shall be forgotten like the Floyd | tides.

Floyd | Floyd | (As a Wisher, you have control over the power of Harmony.

You learn much Floyd | here, though the existence of such a dying city is a weight upon your Floyd | concept of the world you seek to have created. Floyd | Floyd | You travel among the savage peoples, who must pay horrible prices to Floyd | survive. Your time there redoubled the questions about why the world Floyd | born from your wish would require such painful compromises. Floyd | Floyd | You make inquiry among the fairies. They are beautiful and magical and Floyd | tragic. They do not exist. You nevertheless find profound secrets Floyd | lurking in their stories. Floyd | Floyd | You visit the sun. Great continent-sized fortresses of dark stone Floyd | drift there: the homes of thieves and blackguards too notorious to Floyd | live within the dreaming kingdoms. To sail on its surface is absolute Floyd | torment, but still you find something of value there. Floyd | Floyd | No paths lead to the Dragons of the Deeps. They are impossible to Floyd | find. Yet, encounter them you do. They are deepness and greatness and Floyd | inspiration and they war against the shadow. It might have been for Floyd | them to eat you, but you were not there for their teeth to find. Floyd | Floyd | You travel to the golden meadows under the world. There, you find the Floyd | ur-toads. They are insanely cool, dreadful, and awe-inspiring. They Floyd | are mysterious and sagacious. They kill you, and thus end your Floyd | journey. Floyd | Floyd | Except it is then, in the afterlife, that you find Tiresias, Seer of Floyd | Thebes. He tells you that the Jewel of All Desiring is not in the Floyd | world, nor above, nor below it, nor outside it in any direction. Floyd | Floyd | And thus, you have come, the three of you, boon companions all, to Floyd | this place, a surfeit of the void, a spaceless space both before and Floyd | after the world.
