DavidW says (to Floyd), "x window" | ||
Floyd ] Union Station Floyd | Floyd | > X WINDOW Floyd | Floyd | Along this route you mainly see dry scrubland. Since it is June, there Floyd | is no snow on the ground. Floyd | Floyd | A man in a uniform with some sort of scanner on his belt walks up to Floyd | your seat and addresses you. "Ticket, sir." Floyd | Floyd | "Okay. Here you go." you say while handing him the ticket. He thanks Floyd | you and heads down to the next row. About 20 minutes later, you arrive Floyd | at your destination. Floyd | Floyd | Union Station Floyd | You admire the city for the first time. There are kids playing in an Floyd | area with water spouts popping out of the sidewalk. It feels Floyd | comfortable to you here despite the temperature. The humidity level is Floyd | much lower than back home! You take a deep breath of the dry air. Floyd | Floyd | Streets lead off in many directions. You looked at this area in Google Floyd | Maps a few times before you got here; just enough to know it's not Floyd | practical to walk to your hotel from here. Floyd | Floyd | You should probably "call Robb" to let him know you have arrived in Floyd | Denver. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "I hadn't noticed." | |
DavidW says, "I didn't notice a phone in our inventory, but maybe it's like the seat." | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "call Robb" | ||
Floyd ] Parking Lot Floyd | Floyd | > CALL ROBB Floyd | Floyd | Robb answers the phone. "Hello?" Floyd | Floyd | "Hey Robb! I just landed, man! Now how do I get out of here?" Floyd | Floyd | "That's awesome. Do you need me to get you a ride? I'll get you a Floyd | ride. Can't wait to see you buddy! Oh. Wait. What should I call you Floyd | when I introduce you to my parents and stuff? I mean.. other than Floyd | Jiz?" Robb replies. Floyd | Floyd | After talking a little longer, a black SUV promptly pulls up across Floyd | the street. You cancel the call after muttering "Think he's here. Floyd | Bye." A while man in it spots you in a red Neo Geo MVS shirt you told Floyd | Robb that you would be wearing. Floyd | Floyd | "Robb?" he says as you approach the vehicle. Failure to communicate Floyd | something here, but close enough. You enter the vehicle which takes Floyd | you to.. Floyd | Floyd | Parking Lot Floyd | Here you have arrived at the parking lot of the La Quinta hotel. There Floyd | is a pool here on the other side of a gate which a father and his two Floyd | kids in swimming trunks are skipping along their way to take a dip in. Floyd | Floyd | As you stand around taking in the loud sound of trains idling on the Floyd | two or three tracks wihin about one hundred yards of the hotel and Floyd | notice a little area with a picnic table and trashcan by the fence, Floyd | you hear the sound of the two young boys crying as you notice them Floyd | walk back into their room. The father slams one of the doors to the Floyd | west behind them. Floyd | Floyd | The hotel lobby is to the northeast and the street is to the east.. Floyd | Floyd | You can see the door to room 302 here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Now I see one - non-descRiptive." | |
Knight_Otu says, "We did have a phone." | ||
DavidW asks, "hm. Now where? Or call Robb again?" | ||
DavidW asks, "Or maybe go in the lobby and ask at the desk?" | ||
Knight_Otu says, "I'd guess desk." | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ne" | ||
Floyd ] Hotel Lobby Floyd | Floyd | > NE Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Hotel Lobby Floyd | This bare lobby has two features; a desk and a woman covered in Floyd | tattoos behind it. The only exit is to the door to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | The receptionist addresses you and asks for your reservation Floyd | information. After she punches a few things into a computer, she hands Floyd | you your keycard and informs you that checkout time is eleven in the Floyd | morning.

Floyd ] Your Room Floyd | Floyd | > ENTER DOOR Floyd | Floyd | (first opening the door to room 302) Floyd | Floyd | Your Room Floyd | You walk into your room and look around. It looks pretty clean at Floyd | first glance, but when you peel back the blanket on the first of your Floyd | two beds closest to the window, you notice a hair in the bed and a Floyd | stain on the pillow. That won't do. The second bed near the bathroom Floyd | looks cleaner and you lay down on it for a bit to relax after the Floyd | trip. Due to the excitement of your new surroundings, you can't sleep Floyd | it all, but you feel better after about twenty minutes. Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly, your phone rings and you answer it. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey man!" Floyd | Floyd | You recognize that voice. It's your friend; Mr. "Jonathan" Jack Flack! Floyd | Floyd | "What's up, Flack?" Floyd | Floyd | "What's up dude? Looks like everyone is headed over to the Hipster Floyd | Draft House soon. You need a ride?" Floyd | Floyd | "Nah, I'll just walk." you reply. "I wanna walk around and check out Floyd | the area a little bit on the way." Floyd | Floyd | "You sure? That's cool. See you there. Later!" says Flack as he ends Floyd | the call. Floyd | Floyd | You can see the door to the parking lot here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "you don't see a semi-colon splice very often" | |
DavidW asks, "I don't see it?" | ||
Knight_Otu says, "It#s in "your friend; Mr "Johnathan""" | ||

DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | This large bridge has plenty of sidewalk on each side for pedestrians Floyd | and an excellent view of the Rocky Mountains. Downtown Denver is to Floyd | the south. Up the street to the northeast you see a large box-shaped Floyd | building with a plain sign next to it. The La Quinta hotel is to the Floyd | west. In the far distance to the east, you see the peaks of the Rocky Floyd | Mountains. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x sign" | ||
Floyd ] Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | Floyd | > X SIGN Floyd | Floyd | It's a large, square, white sign with a large green medical cross on Floyd | it. Underneath is the word "PURE Marijuana Dispensary". Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Pres... right." | |
DavidW asks, "um. Are we expected to buy some maryjane now?" | ||
Knight_Otu asks, "... maybe?" | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ne" | ||
Floyd ] Pure Floyd | Floyd | > NE Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Pure Floyd | You walk into what looks like a waiting room for a dental practice Floyd | office, but there are no patients sitting here. A friendly merchant Floyd | behind the counter greets you. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey, how's it going? Never been here before? I will need you to give Floyd | me some identification to let you through to see the merchandise." she Floyd | says. Floyd | Floyd | You can see the merchant here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open wallet" | ||
Floyd ] Pure Floyd | Floyd | > OPEN WALLET Floyd | Floyd | That's already open. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "show license to merchant" | ||
Floyd ] Pure Floyd | Floyd | > SHOW LICENSE TO MERCHANT Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the drivers license) Floyd | You will need to actually give it to her. Showing it to her from the Floyd | other side of the counter is not going to cut it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "give license to merchant" | ||
Floyd ] Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | Floyd | > GIVE LICENSE TO MERCHANT Floyd | Floyd | You hand your ID to the merchant. She enters a few things into a Floyd | computer and hands it back to. Then, you hear a buzz coming from a Floyd | door near the counter. "Please come on in." the merchant says. Floyd | Floyd | You walk into a room containing many glass jars filled with different Floyd | types of marijuana. The clean-shaven man behind the counter greets you Floyd | and asks "So, what are you looking for? Would you consider yourself a Floyd | light user?" Floyd | Floyd | He probably wouldn't assume that if you didn't just get a haircut for Floyd | this trip you think to yourself. "Actually, no. I'm uh.. pretty heavy Floyd | duty if you know what I mean." You respond. Floyd | Floyd | Oh. Well.. okay. This here is over 25% percent THC. It's called Dead Floyd | Head and.. Floyd | Floyd | "I'll take that." you respond. Floyd | Floyd | And so, after a quick walk to the back of the building to use the ATM Floyd | (They don't accept credit cards, apparently.) and 10 minutes later, Floyd | you walk out with your product in a medicine bottle, something to Floyd | smoke it with, and something to burn it with. You pocket your new Floyd | stash and head back out to the street. Floyd | Floyd | Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | This large bridge has plenty of sidewalk on each side for pedestrians Floyd | and an excellent view of the Rocky Mountains. Downtown Denver is to Floyd | the south. Up the street to the northeast you see a large box-shaped Floyd | building with a plain sign next to it. The La Quinta hotel is to the Floyd | west.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x stash" | ||
Floyd ] Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | Floyd | > X STASH Floyd | Floyd | Your weed stash. You can "smoke stash" at any time when you are Floyd | carrying it, but you probably want to refrain from doing so in public. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Park Avenue Bridge Floyd | Floyd | > PUT LICENSE AND KEYCARD IN WALLET Floyd | Floyd | drivers license: Done. Floyd | keycard: Done. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "I assume south next?" | |
Knight_Otu says, "Sure." | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd ] Downtown Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Downtown Floyd | This is just one small section of the rest of downtown Denver, but at Floyd | the moment your destination is the Hipster Draft House to the west. Floyd | Artistic graffiti marks most of the sides of the buildings down the Floyd | nearby alleyways. People are strolling about everywhere around you. Floyd | The Park Avenue Bridge is back to the north. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x graffiti" | ||
Floyd ] Downtown Floyd | Floyd | > X GRAFFITI Floyd | Floyd | You usually don't like seeing graffiti, as you think it just looks Floyd | tacky. However, this is some really cool artwork featuring Floyd | multi-colored geometric shapes and letters with extreme detail. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x people" | ||
Floyd ] Downtown Floyd | Floyd | > X PEOPLE Floyd | Floyd | This area seems to attract a fairly young crowd. They all look quite Floyd | common with exception to noticing a few people dresses as Marvel Floyd | superheroes. There must have been a local comic book convention or Floyd | something. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Hipster Draft House Floyd | You stroll into the large, open doors into a bar with very minimal Floyd | decor. The main point of interest is one wall is filled with beer Floyd | taps. You look around a while for someone you know. There are not many Floyd | people here yet. Quickly, you notice Flack waving at you from a nearby Floyd | table. Plain, wooden tables and benches on the concrete floor fill the Floyd | room; slightly resembling a German beer hall. Maybe I should "ask Floyd | Flack about beer". Floyd | Floyd | You can see Flack here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask Flack about beer" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > ASK FLACK ABOUT BEER Floyd | Floyd | You walk over to Flack and say "What's up, Flack? Good to see you Floyd | again!" Floyd | Floyd | "Good to see you, man." he replies. Floyd | Floyd | "So hey, how do you get beer around here anyway? I see beer taps on Floyd | the wall that people are just helping themselves to. This place is Floyd | high tech!" you say. Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah man. Check it out.." he replies as he explains how the tap Floyd | system works. At this point, all you have to do is "take beer" if you Floyd | want another one. Or three. Floyd | Floyd | You pick what seems to be the strongest lager they have on tap and Floyd | drink it down while talking with Flack about Denver. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take beer" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE BEER Floyd | Floyd | You pour a large glass of beer and drink it down over the course of a Floyd | few minutes. It's very excellent beer and you could certainly go for Floyd | another. Floyd | Floyd | Flack asks you about your flight. You explain that it was one of the Floyd | roughest you had ever ridden. There was a lot of turbulence or Floyd | something because the plane hopped in the air more often that smoothly Floyd | flying through it. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh man. That sucks." he replies. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x flack" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > X FLACK Floyd | Floyd | Mr. Jack "Jonathan" Flack. You've met only once before in person, but Floyd | have always had a sort of strange "friend you always knew but hadn't Floyd | met" connection. If you had met when you were much younger, you Floyd | probably would have spent a lot of time riding skateboards and messing Floyd | with Commodore 64 computers together. Floyd | Floyd | He has wizard-like facial features and is built like a bouncer at a Floyd | Slayer concert. This is not a man to be messed with. Floyd | Floyd | Some dude with a shaved head a weird, skinny, braided little beard Floyd | introduces himself to you as John and starts talking. And talking. Floyd | Mostly about himself and females in the room. You distance yourself as Floyd | far away from him as quickly as possible Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x john" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > X JOHN Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "That's some distancing." | |
DavidW asks, "So now what? Wait. Take more beer? Ask Jack about topics?" | ||
Knight_Otu asks, "I guess ask about Robb?" | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask Jack about Robb" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > ASK JACK ABOUT ROBB Floyd | Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | You hear some cheering as someone walks in. It's Robb Sherwin! He's Floyd | surrounded by people, but maybe you could manage to "ask robb about Floyd | tomorrow" and finally meet in person for the first time. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask Robb about tomorrow" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > ASK ROBB ABOUT TOMORROW Floyd | Floyd | You wade through a few people to get to Robb Sherwin. "Robb!" you Floyd | exclaim. "Really nice to finally meet you in person." Floyd | Floyd | You shake his hand and ask "Nervous about tomorrow?" Floyd | Floyd | "You know.. surprisingly, not at all!" He responds. Floyd | Floyd | You talk some about each others arcade games, and he mentions you Floyd | should join the others going to his house later to check out his Floyd | basement arcade. Flack enters the conversation for a while and the Floyd | three of you are all in agreement that you wish that your mutual Floyd | friend Roody Yogurt could have made an appearance this weekend. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take beer" | ||
Floyd ] Hipster Draft House Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE BEER Floyd | Floyd | You pour a large glass of beer and drink it down over the course of a Floyd | few minutes. It's very excellent beer and you could certainly go for Floyd | another. Floyd | Floyd | You hear an eruption of laughter at a nearby table. Food is offered by Floyd | a passing staff member, and you grab a hamburger slider which you Floyd | gobble down in four bites. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x robb" | ||
Floyd ] Your Room Floyd | Floyd | > X ROBB Floyd | Floyd | The guy who invited you here in the first place! A person you would Floyd | consider to be a good friend despite never meeting in person. While Floyd | you've talking to him via the Internet and played his games such as Floyd | Cryptozookeeper for years, the only real picture of him you've Floyd | visualized in your head is the Robb Sherwin starring in the "Get Lamp" Floyd | documentary. The Robb Sherwin before you today is a fit dude with a Floyd | much slimmer head than you expected. Floyd | Floyd | He also has a slight, bright aura to him.. perhaps because he's about Floyd | to get married? Or perhaps merely because he is Robb Sherwin. Floyd | Floyd | Most of your party announces they are leaving and headed to Robb's Floyd | house. You tag along, but his basement arcade is filled with kids and Floyd | there are so many people in the rest of the house that you spend more Floyd | time on his back porch smoking cigarettes (a habit you finally gave up Floyd | a little over a year later) and talking to the people that come Floyd | outside rather than hang out inside. However, Robb and the bride to be Floyd | are among those people, and you get to spend about half an hour Floyd | talking with them. Floyd | Floyd | A local friend of Robb offers to give you a ride back to your hotel Floyd | once things wind down. He hasn't been drinking and you have never Floyd | called an "Uber" like people always suggest to do when you need a Floyd | ride, so you take him up on the offer.

Soon after turning on the television to Floyd | watch some Ancient Aliens, you fall asleep in your bed.. Floyd | Floyd | Your Room Floyd | You are in your room at the La Quinta. There's not much here and it's Floyd | certainly not very fancy, but that's fine. You won't be here long. It Floyd | just seems rather run down for one hundred and thirty dollars a night Floyd | even if it is this close to the Coors baseball field. The door out is Floyd | to the east. Floyd | Floyd | You can see the door to the parking lot here. Floyd | Floyd | You wake up at almost lunchtime the next day. You should probably Floyd | "take shower" so you don't offend the others in the car when Flack Floyd | picks you up a little later. You're pretty sure you recall him saying Floyd | he was going to give you a ride to the wedding anyway. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] The Wedding Floyd | Floyd | > CALL FLACK Floyd | Floyd | You call Flack. After a few rings he answers. "What's up man?" Floyd | Floyd | "Hey man! Are you on your way to pick you up?" you ask. Floyd | Floyd | Long, silent pause. "Uh.. I thought you were going to take an Uber or Floyd | something. Why don't you do that? We're like almost there. Sorry man!" Floyd | Flack replies before letting you go. Floyd | Floyd | Damn it! This is not good. You don't know where to begin to get Floyd | yourself a ride. You look up how far it is to walk. Over an hour and Floyd | the directions look a bit confusing, even on paper. The last thing you Floyd | want to be doing is walking around like an idiot for a few hours in Floyd | Denver while missing what you came here for in the first place. You Floyd | download the Uber app. The account creation process, your phone, or Floyd | both is going way slow. Your heart starts pounding as panic sets in. Floyd | Floyd | After about ten minutes of this frantic moment, Flack dials your phone Floyd | again. Maybe he's curious as to if you got a ride or not. Floyd | Floyd | "Hey man!" Flack says. "I guess you didn't get a ride yet. Look, we Floyd | just left Walmart and my wife checked the GPS and says we've got time Floyd | to get you." Floyd | Floyd | "Are you sure? I won't make you late?" you ask. Floyd | Floyd | "We won't miss anything man. We've got time." he says. Floyd | Floyd | "Dude, I really appreciate this! I was really starting to panic Floyd | there!" you reply. Floyd | Floyd | After getting off the phone, you grab a collared shirt with a tie you Floyd | already put a windsor knot in, you briefly wait in the parking lot to Floyd | wait for your ride. It arrives within minutes to take you to a large Floyd | park where the wedding is being held. Floyd | Floyd | The Wedding Floyd | You march along with Mr. and Mrs. Flack across a long field of grass Floyd | up a low hill towards a lone fancy-looking structure. Surely this is Floyd | the right place. Otherwise, there is going to be a lot more trekking Floyd | across this park and you are running out of time. Floyd | Floyd | Once you reach the top of the hill, it's obvious you are finally here. Floyd | Many people are here talking and laughing. Flack and his wife go their Floyd | seperate way for a while to mingle with others. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Jason and Flack here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Well." | |

Floyd ] The Wedding Floyd | Floyd | > X JASON Floyd | Floyd | Mr. Jason "Textfiles" Scott. You had heard he was going to be here, Floyd | but actually seeing him here feels a bit surreal. Aside from reading Floyd | textfiles.com in the late nineties, a short misunderstanding on a MUD Floyd | many years later, and a few Twitter exchanges, you don't really have Floyd | any affiliation with him. Floyd | Floyd | He is roughly your height and has a very happy air about him. This guy Floyd | looks as glad to be alive and here at this wedding as you are. He's Floyd | wearing a black hat and a very fancy red blazer. Floyd | Floyd | You hear a young, male voice exclaim "That's WONDERFUL!" Floyd | Floyd | You notice Jason Scott walking away from the pizza line. Maybe you Floyd | should "ask Jason about Durham" because that's the only topic you can Floyd | think of to bring up to him. You think he was there recently, and Floyd | that's about a forty minute drive from where your house is. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | He stares directly into your eyes and asks "I'm sorry. Who are you? Floyd | How would I know you?" Floyd | Floyd | "Uh.. I'm Jizaboz on.." you begin to say as he cuts you off. Floyd | Floyd | "Ohhh you! Right, Right. I think Robb mentioned you were coming." he Floyd | replies. Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah, I flew in from North Carolina. This is my first time in Denver. Floyd | Weren't you in Durham, North Carolina not that long ago?" you ask. Floyd | Floyd | You end up having a short but good conversation. You learn that both Floyd | of you had relatives that were treated at the main hospital in Durham. Floyd | Floyd | After he walks off, someone offers you a Miller Lite. Not your Floyd | favorite beer by any means, but it's hot out here and you are thirsty. Floyd | You drink it quickly and deposit the can in a recycling bin. Floyd | Floyd | Some random, sweaty jogger dude jogs up to your area, looks around, Floyd | then jogs off around the pond. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] The Wedding Floyd | Floyd | > X FOUNTAIN Floyd | Floyd | The simple fountain shoots water straight into the air about ten feet Floyd | high. Floyd | Floyd | People start making their way near a platform by the pond. You follow Floyd | them over as it's obvious things are getting started. Flack's wife Floyd | reserves a seat for you and you wait for things to begin. Floyd | Floyd | Robb Sherwin emerges, and stands at the platform. The bride appears Floyd | and walks up to the platform to join him; looking happy and vibrant. Floyd | Everything is silent with exception to light music playing. Floyd | Floyd | "They're GETTING MARRIED! That's WONDERFUL!" you hear the now slightly Floyd | familiar young voice. You glance back and see a very happy teenage boy Floyd | who is the obvious culprit of this outburst due to all the other Floyd | people you see also glancing at him. It's apparent this kid has a Floyd | learning disability or something, but you much more annoyed at the old Floyd | woman nearby scowling at him and his parents than you are with him. Floyd | Robb and the bride are completely oblivious. Floyd | Floyd | The bride and groom read their vows they had written themselves, Floyd | producing a few chuckles from the crowd at certain moments. Shortly Floyd | after, they are pronounced man and wife. As everyone begins to rise Floyd | and clap, a small flock of doves that is released behind you that Floyd | flies over your head and towards the lake. You hear that familiar Floyd | voice once again: "And now back to SISTER SISTER ON THE DISNEY Floyd | CHANNEL!" Floyd | Floyd | You couldn't have said it better yourself. Things happen, but life Floyd | moves on. Much like by lunchtime tomorrow, you will be boarding a Floyd | flight back to North Carolina and saying goodbye to friends both old Floyd | and new. Floyd | Floyd | You talk with Robb briefly as he notices you starting to leave before Floyd | saying goodbye. You go looking for Flack for yet another ride back to Floyd | your hotel.

You got to talk to many Floyd | interesting people and have formed closer friendships. Most Floyd | importantly, you met Robb Sherwin! Floyd | Floyd | On the way out, Robb invites you back to his place early tomorrow Floyd | morning before your flight and offers to give you a ride to the Floyd | nearest train terminal. You gladly accept. Floyd | Floyd | Once there, you get to play his various arcade games alone for a bit. Floyd | At least, you think you are alone. Floyd | Floyd | In a dark corner behind you, there lies a ball of fur! Upon closer Floyd | examination, you see it is a long-haired cat. This must be the Floyd | legendary cat "Frobozz". Floyd | Floyd | "Hello friend. I'm Robb's friend too. You look like a sleepy cat. Ok, Floyd | friend. I'll let you be. Nice meeting you." you say to the cat as you Floyd | go return to playing games.
