Meeting Robb Sherwin by Jizaboz
As played on ifMUD on December 15, 2019

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Meeting Robb Sherwin written by Jizaboz. It took 71st place in IF Comp 2019. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | here because a month later you received an invitation from Robb
Floyd | Sherwin to attend his wedding. Your friend Jack "Jonathan" Flack with
Floyd | be there and you'd really like to see him again. Also, this is your
Floyd | first opportunity to finally meet Robb Sherwin.
Floyd |
Floyd | A few random people are waiting for the next train. Some tourists are
Floyd | staring at what looks like a mall directory. A train pulls up and
Floyd | stops at the end of the track. People begin to board the train to the

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 | "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.

Knight_Otu says, "Now I see one - non-descRiptive."
Knight_Otu says, "We did have a phone."

Knight_Otu says, "I'd guess desk."

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 | 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 | You walk into what looks like a waiting room for a dental practice

Floyd | behind the counter greets you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Hey, how's it going? Never been here before? I will need you to give

Floyd | You hand your ID to the merchant. She enters a few things into 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 | 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 | "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 | 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 | 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.

Knight_Otu says, "That's some distancing."

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 | > 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 | > 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 ]  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.
Floyd |
Floyd | The ride takes ten minutes or less, and it sure beats walking back as
Floyd | worn out as you currently are. 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 | You are standing between the fence blocking the pool and the picnic

Floyd | nearby fills the air.
Floyd |
Floyd | The hotel lobby is to the northeast and the street is to the east and
Floyd | opposite to the west are all the hotel room doors.

Floyd |
Floyd | You jump in the beige shower and get cleaned up. After drying off and
Floyd | putting on clean clothes, you feel refreshed.
Floyd |
Floyd | Hm. Where is your ride? You should probably "call Flack". You were
Floyd | afraid the phone would ring or the phone would ring during the soap
Floyd | fiasco, but neither have occurred.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "call flack"
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."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x jason"
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 | > ASK JASON ABOUT DURHAM
Floyd |
Floyd | ""You walk up to Jason and introduce yourself by your real name and
Floyd | tell him that it's great to meet him.
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 | You are standing by a large pond at the wedding. There is a huge line
Floyd | to a pizza truck nearby. Many people are standing around talking and
Floyd | drinking, most of them are outside where you are instead of where
Floyd | tables are.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see Jason and Flack here.

Floyd |
Floyd | This large pond is so symmetrically rounded that you assume it is man

Floyd | it.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x fountain"
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.

Floyd |
Floyd | There is no reply.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have had a great time on this trip. 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.
