| CF | An uncanny diary by Olaf Nowacki | ||

| CF | Preface | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This IF is neither finished nor polished. The story is not going | ||
| CF | anywhere yet. (But if it feels like it is: Even better.) Many commands | ||
| CF | lack the right feedback. There are bugs. Still, the basic idea should | ||
| CF | become clear and whether it's worth pursuing further I leave to your | ||
| CF | judgment. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The form of the game is a diary. Each round is one day long. This | ||
| CF | results in a few differences to other parser-based IF: You don't walk | ||
| CF | around as usual. Instead, the following form is used: GO TO <LOCATION> | ||
| CF | or VISIT <PERSON>. Also, you don't pick up or drop objects, because | ||
| CF | that wouldn't fit the diary format either, so that happens | ||
| CF | automatically. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Repetitions and anything that breaks the fourth wall should be masked | ||
| CF | or avoided to preserve the form. This is probably not entirely | ||
| CF | possible, but I want to push it as far as I can. I would like to take | ||
| CF | this opportunity to thank Daniel Stelzer and Drew Cook! With their | ||
| CF | advice on intfiction.org, they have given me the basis on which all | ||
| CF | the standard feedback is intercepted. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You'll do me a big favor if you type "script" first and send me your | ||
| CF | transcript (along with any feedback and ideas you may have) to | ||
| CF | olaf.nowacki@gmail.com! | ||

| CF | June 25, 1883 — I deliberately chose a very simple room for I want | ||
| CF | nothing to distract me from writing, and I found more than I was | ||
| CF | looking for in Mrs. Unbehagen's house. It is just a small square room | ||
| CF | with a small window overlooking the street. Now I'm sitting at a desk | ||
| CF | right under the window on the chair in front of it. Behind me is my | ||
| CF | bed against the bare wall and otherwise there is only the door. The | ||
| CF | rent is definitely too much for what I get, but included are three | ||
| CF | meals a day and I get a big jug of water, for drinking and for the | ||
| CF | most necessary hygienic measures. I don't need a closet, because I | ||
| CF | only have two sets of personal linen. One of them I wear, the other is | ||
| CF | with Mrs. Unbehagen in the laundry and as soon as she gives it back to | ||
| CF | me clean, I give her the other. As you can see, I've thought of | ||
| CF | everything. Apart from visiting the privy, which is located in the | ||
| CF | stairwell, I don't have to leave the room if I don't want to. | ||
| CF | | ||

| Pinkunz says, "I don't mind." | ||
| DavidW asks (of gadzoks), "Sorry, are you volunteering to drive?" | ||
| gadzoks says, "If no one else wants to, yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "fine with me. godspeed and all that." | ||
| Jade says, "slow is good for me" | ||
| gadzoks asks, "Okay, so we can >GO DOOR or visit Mrs. Unbehagen?" | ||

| CF | Then | ||
| CF | there are my diary, a pile of paper, an inkwell with a quill and a | ||
| CF | carafe of water. That's really all there is. And oh yes, I forgot my | ||
| CF | second set of underwear, which is just with Mrs. Unbehagen. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Mrs. Unbehagen told me about her other tenant. His name is Herr Oskar | ||
| CF | Sala. I haven't seen him yet, but he hasn't seen me either. | ||

| CF | June 27 — Strange thoughts creep up on me sometimes. For example: | ||
| CF | visiting "desk", would that make sense? Is it even possible? If so, | ||
| CF | would it also be desirable? Then I think about it a lot and always | ||
| CF | come to the same conclusion: I just don't know. I could try to find | ||
| CF | out if I didn't have a clear task ahead of me: writing my novel. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | I already like my life as a writer and I can easily get used to this | ||
| CF | pace of work. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I wonder which is better: to start writing right away or to plan | ||
| CF | everything first? I should think about that tomorrow. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | June 30 — Today I let myself fell into the abyss of introspection. | ||
| CF | Who | ||
| CF | am I? Seriously, who am I? Am I a piece of thinking flesh? Am I a | ||
| CF | ghost who moves this meat machine like a puppeteer? Am I a captain who | ||
| CF | steers his ship of bones and cartilage across the lonely ocean of | ||
| CF | ideas? What drives me to go there? Where do I want to go in the first | ||
| CF | place? What will await me there? Do I even want to know? Isn't it | ||
| CF | better to know nothing, to want nothing? Shouldn't I rather be one of | ||
| CF | those deranged automobile racers who want nothing except the stupid | ||
| CF | pleasure of the short-lived thrill of speed? Am I even destined to | ||
| CF | produce something bigger, better than them? | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | And have I thus reached the bottom of my self-knowledge? A ridiculous | ||
| CF | question with the shortest possible answer there is. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Before I moved into this room, Valerie had indicated in advance that | ||
| CF | she would pay me a visit. I hope she won't keep me waiting too long. | ||
| CF | The uncertainty is almost unbearable and slows me down in my writing | ||
| CF | process. | ||

| CF | I'm sure it will come back to me. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 2 — Today I was finally ready to start writing. I had thought of | ||
| CF | an excellent opening sentence and was just about to dip the quill into | ||
| CF | the inkwell when there was a knock at the door. It couldn't be Mrs. | ||
| CF | Unbehagen, because at this time she always does her purchases. | ||
| CF | Besides, she never knocks before entering the room. After a moment's | ||
| CF | hesitation, I rose to open the door. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | In the narrow hallway stood Valerie with a potted plant in her hands. | ||
| CF | I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't express my joy adequately. She | ||
| CF | set the plant down on my desk and let her eyes roam over my sparse | ||
| CF | room. Finally, she looked me in the eye and said, "I bought this at | ||
| CF | the harbour from a sailor overseas. He said it was an extraordinary | ||
| CF | plant from the other side of the globe. I don't know if he was telling | ||
| CF | the truth, but I've never seen such a plant. Hopefully it will inspire | ||
| CF | your writing." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I would rather have had a photo of her for inspiration, but of course | ||
| CF | I didn't say that. I grabbed her hand and wanted to caress it, but she | ||
| CF | shyly withdrew, saying she had to leave before the landlady came back. | ||
| CF | I asked her if she was coming to see me again, but she avoided my gaze | ||
| CF | and just murmured, "Maybe." Then she was gone again, leaving me alone | ||
| CF | with the plant. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A little later, Mrs. Unbehagen entered my room and asked if I had | ||
| CF | received any lady visitors. That was strictly forbidden. I lied and | ||
| CF | claimed that my cousin had brought me my beloved potted plant, which I | ||
| CF | needed for writing. She replied that she hoped I did not intend to | ||
| CF | smoke the plant. That too, she said, was strictly forbidden. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I tried to appease her by saying that I would never smoke plants, only | ||
| CF | tobacco. She then parted with a sceptical look and narrowed eyes. I | ||
| CF | sat down at my desk again and reached for the quill. My brilliant | ||
| CF | opening sentence I had forgotten by then. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Suddenly I have doubts about whether I am at all suited to writing. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Constantly yapping dogs in the neighborhood, it sounds like a whole | ||
| CF | pack. I can then hardly grasp a clear thought. | ||
| CF | | ||

| Jade asks, "is this a diary?" | ||
| DavidW says, "The entire game is a diary, yes." | ||

| CF | > THINK | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 3 — Today I was very productive, I thought about my novel all | ||
| CF | day. I imagined many of its facets in my mind: | ||
| CF | — magnificent gardens, | ||
| CF | — male mermaids and | ||
| CF | — carriages with wings. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | All this will somehow become part of the story. I just have to put the | ||
| CF | pieces together. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Someone upstairs is playing the piano, or something like that. I | ||
| CF | probably shouldn't listen so closely so as not to distract myself from | ||
| CF | my work. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jade says, "each command is a new day...lol" | |
| Jade says, "each new command is a day, lol" | ||
| DavidW says, "almost every." | ||

| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LISTEN | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 4 — This day I have spent lying on the bed, albeit not to think, | ||
| CF | but to listen. And I must say, it was most enlightening. Most of the | ||
| CF | time, you can hear Mrs. Unbehagen cursing in her living room when | ||
| CF | she's not out and about. Her other lodger, Mr. Sala, is usually at | ||
| CF | home and frequently plays the piano or something similar. Every now | ||
| CF | and then you hear someone farting in the privy, and I don't want to | ||
| CF | make any assumptions about which of the two it is. But beyond that, it | ||
| CF | seems as if the whole house is crackling discreetly. As if many very | ||
| CF | small things were moving very carefully in the wall. Now that I've | ||
| CF | heard it once I can't not hear it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Something is moving in the house across the street. I often see the | ||
| CF | curtains shaking. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 5 — Today an unusual mantra came to my mind: "X CURTAINS". I | ||
| CF | repeated it until it lost all meaning. "X CURTAINS ... X CURTAINS ... | ||
| CF | X CURTAINS" What is that supposed to be anyway? If it's really | ||
| CF | important, I'm sure it will come back to me. | ||

| CF | July 6 — Strange thoughts creep up on me sometimes. For example: | ||
| CF | visiting "window", would that make sense? Is it even possible? If so, | ||
| CF | would it also be desirable? Then I think about it a lot and always | ||

| CF | > X PLANT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 8 — A bare stem rises from the centre of the pot, at the base of | ||
| CF | which are a few misshapen leaves. There is no flower at the top of the | ||
| CF | stem. Possibly it has fallen off or the plant never intended to sprout | ||
| CF | a flower. While feeling the crippled tip of the dead stem, I must have | ||
| CF | cut or pricked myself, because suddenly there was a drop of blood on | ||
| CF | my finger. It dripped onto the plant and ran down the stem into the | ||
| CF | dry soil of the pot. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This plant is unimpressive, although it is very ugly, and still | ||
| CF | attracts far too much of my attention. I fear Valerie has been | ||
| CF | deceived. Why was Valerie at the harbour in the first place? That is | ||
| CF | not an appropriate environment for her! And then she lets herself be | ||
| CF | approached by a strange sailor! Or did even she approach him? I can't | ||
| CF | get my head around it. | ||

| CF | important, I'm sure it will come back to me. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | July 10 — I read a bit in my diary today (yes, the one I am currently | ||
| CF | writing in). I can confirm that this is now entry number twelve. I'm | ||
| CF | sure it will be a valuable resource for future biographers. However, I | ||
| CF | myself should refrain from reading it constantly and reveling in my | ||
| CF | recent findings. It distracts me too much from work and puts an | ||
| CF | emphasis on the past. I, on the other hand, own the future! | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 11 — In my search for variety and inspiration, I came up with | ||
| CF | the | ||
| CF | idea that I could pay a visit to my landlady. Naive me. I knocked on | ||
| CF | her door, entered and wished her a good day. Horrified, she looked at | ||
| CF | me and immediately began to clamor; that I "really couldn't complain", | ||
| CF | what "came into my head to attack her like that?", that "she had it | ||
| CF | hard enough anyway" and that my rent was "anything but too high". | ||
| CF | Mumbling incoherent excuses, I stumbled backwards out of her parlor. I | ||
| CF | was so ashamed that I had to remain in the stairwell for a good while | ||
| CF | until I had regained my composure. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The flower of the plant has reached the size of a tulip, and it seems | ||
| CF | that it is now fully grown. But beautiful to look at it is not, with | ||
| CF | its crooked and tubular black leaves. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I could swear someone was in my room last night. I woke up and felt | ||
| CF | the door close. Then I heard a slight pattering, but I couldn't make | ||
| CF | out where it was coming from. I couldn't see anything either, it was | ||
| CF | too dark for that. Or did I just dream it? | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 12 — My desire to see Valerie is very strong. If it were | ||
| CF | possible, I would pay her a visit at her family's home, but alas, | ||
| CF | alas, etiquette forbids it as long as we are not engaged. I should | ||
| CF | certainly try to use my longing for her to finish my novel. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Today it was quite loud at the door, that is, Mrs. Unbehagen was very | ||
| CF | loud. But I have to start at the beginning. There was a rather strong | ||
| CF | knocking at the door, several men were there and I think it was the | ||
| CF | police. They spoke very forcefully to Mrs. Unbehagen. She clearly | ||
| CF | denied several times, the rest was hardly understandable. I heard only | ||
| CF | "no more eyes" and that makes no sense. But then Mrs. Unbehagen howled | ||
| CF | loudly and had to be calmed down by the men. I saw the men standing in | ||
| CF | front of the house across the street for quite a while. When they were | ||
| CF | gone again, I wanted to talk to Mrs. Unbehagen, but she has entrenched | ||
| CF | herself in her living room and does not react. I would really like to | ||
| CF | know what it was all about. | ||

| CF | July 15 — There lies my masterpiece, my astounding narrative that | ||
| CF | will | ||
| CF | move the world and make of me a real man who dwells among the other | ||
| CF | great minds in the spheres of intellect. Only one small step is | ||
| CF | missing: the words must be written down. I feel them gathering inside | ||
| CF | me like water behind a dam. They become more and more, they want to | ||
| CF | flow out onto the blank paper, creating a pressure that makes my hand | ||
| CF | tremble. The only thing that it still needs, that the mighty words can | ||
| CF | pave their way, is their leader! A first stroke, a single letter! | ||
| CF | Others will follow him, together they become a word! An example for | ||
| CF | others, a first sentence, then the dam breaks and in unbridled | ||
| CF | eruption a torrent of paragraphs and finally chapters until all pages | ||
| CF | are filled to bursting and only with the closing point the force of | ||
| CF | nature comes to rest again. And then never-ending applause. | ||

| CF | July 17 — I am well aware that I should be sitting at my desk writing | ||
| CF | most of the time. But writing requires a lot of thinking, and thinking | ||
| CF | requires an ideal supply of blood to the brain, which is ensured when | ||
| CF | the blood can flow easily into the head. Therefore, I need to lie down | ||
| CF | to think and the best place for that, in my small chamber is on the | ||
| CF | bed. Therefore, I probably spend 12 hours on the bed every day. So in | ||
| CF | total, that is together with my nightly sleep, that is a good 20 hours | ||
| CF | in a lying position. No wonder writing is so popular among the | ||
| CF | artistically talented population. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | My fear about the flower size was unjustified. It has disappeared into | ||
| CF | thin air. Yes, really, because otherwise the petals should be lying | ||
| CF | somewhere. The stem is still there and looks like it did the day | ||
| CF | Valerie brought the plant. I wonder if someone snuck into my room last | ||
| CF | night to steal the flower? If so, then that person has the worst | ||
| CF | conceivable sense of taste. (I know that sounds a lot like Mrs. | ||
| CF | Unbehagen, but I don't want to suspect her.) | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | July 18 — Sitting at my desk, it's difficult not to look at the | ||
| CF | window. But it is even more difficult not to look THROUGH the window. | ||
| CF | Technically, it's a very quiet street that I'm looking at. Still, the | ||
| CF | sporadic pedestrians distract me. This bastard, who shoots by with his | ||
| CF | noise machine called "automobile" at least twice a day, even more so. | ||
| CF | But the most unpleasant thing is that in the house across the street | ||
| CF | the curtains are constantly moving. Obviously there is someone behind | ||
| CF | them, observing not only the street, but also me sitting at my desk. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Creating a good story is tough work and not at all as romantic as I | ||
| CF | had imagined. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Again these barking tykes. The landlady told me that there was a small | ||
| CF | park nearby where the residents let their dogs run free all day. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | July 19 — I spent the entire day exploring my room in Mrs. Unbehagens | ||
| CF | house. It is very small and sparsely furnished. There is a small | ||
| CF | window facing the street. Below it is a desk and in front of it is a | ||
| CF | chair. On the wall opposite is a bed against the bare wall. There is | ||
| CF | no other furniture, only the door that leads to the staircase. I am | ||
| CF | sitting at my desk, in front of me my diary (in which I'm currently | ||
| CF | writing), an inkwell in which I regularly refill my quill and a stack | ||
| CF | of blank paper on which I will set down my novel. Also there is the | ||
| CF | carafe with water. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I should say everything is well prepared so I can start writing my | ||
| CF | novel. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I was a little irritated today and it took me a little while to figure | ||
| CF | out why. The dogs are no longer barking. Usually they make noise all | ||
| CF | the time, but not today. Probably the dog catcher finally came and | ||
| CF | picked them up. I am so thankful that I am thinking about writing him | ||
| CF | a eulogy. | ||

| CF | red spots on it, as if someone had poured paint. In addition, there | ||
| CF | are a lot of badly gnawed bones. I wonder what happened here. Did the | ||
| CF | dog catcher use the bones to lock up the dogs? It reminds me of an | ||
| CF | abattoir that is not well kept. Anyway, I took the opportunity to pick | ||

| CF | September 5 — I spent today trying to open the window. I am aware | ||
| CF | that | ||
| CF | opening a window should not really be a day-filling task, so I want to | ||
| CF | record it in more detail. At first I approached it naively, thinking, | ||
| CF | "How good would that be, to let a little fresh air into the room. I'm | ||
| CF | sure that will help the writing process too!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I reached for the window knob, tried to turn it to release the gag. It | ||
| CF | didn't move. I examined it, tried turning it again, gently at first, | ||
| CF | finally harder and harder. After many attempts, it moved a little and | ||
| CF | so I tried again. I was very professional in my approach. After all I | ||
| CF | didn't want to damage the window and at all costs prevent it from | ||
| CF | reaching a state where it could no longer be closed. After a few hours | ||
| CF | I had loosened the handle so much that it could be turned by 180 | ||
| CF | degrees. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "This should be enough to open the window", I thought - but the window | ||
| CF | did not give way, neither to the inside nor to the outside. Without | ||
| CF | the slightest success, I again struggled for a long while. Finally, I | ||
| CF | examined the outer hinges of the window to see if there was a problem. | ||
| CF | If only I had done this earlier! The hinges are - and not even | ||
| CF | particularly artfully! - simply painted onto the frame and the wall! | ||

| CF | November 15 — Strange thoughts creep up on me sometimes. For | ||

| CF | attacking myself, would that make sense? Is it even possible? If so, | ||
| CF | would it also be desirable? Then I think about it a lot and always | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | November 17 — My small space sometimes gives me infantile thoughts. | ||
| CF | Today, in search of new inspiration, I actually laid down on the floor | ||
| CF | and looked under the bed. There is dust, cobwebs and a whole lot of | ||
| CF | mouse droppings there. So nothing that I could use for my novel. I | ||
| CF | must admonish myself not to waste my valuable time so senselessly. | ||

| CF | November 27 — Indeed, at times my room feels quite confining, even | ||
| CF | claustrophobic. I should probably go out occasionally, stretch my legs | ||
| CF | and get some fresh air. That should also stimulate my thoughts and | ||
| CF | thus help me to write my novel. But certainly, I must have a specific | ||
| CF | destination in mind before I go out. Yes, I could simply walk the | ||
| CF | streets of the surrounding area. Yet wouldn't a visit to the park be | ||
| CF | more auspicious? If just a short stroll is required, I could seek out | ||

| CF | An uncanny diary by Olaf Nowacki | ||
| CF | Release 0 / Serial number 230731 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.34 lib | ||

| CF | Preface | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This IF is neither finished nor polished. The story is not going | ||
| CF | anywhere yet. (But if it feels like it is: Even better.) Many commands | ||
| CF | lack the right feedback. There are bugs. Still, the basic idea should | ||
| CF | become clear and whether it's worth pursuing further I leave to your | ||
| CF | judgment. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The form of the game is a diary. Each round is one day long. This | ||
| CF | results in a few differences to other parser-based IF: You don't walk | ||
| CF | around as usual. Instead, the following form is used: GO TO <LOCATION> | ||
| CF | or VISIT <PERSON>. Also, you don't pick up or drop objects, because | ||
| CF | that wouldn't fit the diary format either, so that happens | ||
| CF | automatically. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Repetitions and anything that breaks the fourth wall should be masked | ||
| CF | or avoided to preserve the form. This is probably not entirely | ||
| CF | possible, but I want to push it as far as I can. I would like to take | ||
| CF | this opportunity to thank Daniel Stelzer and Drew Cook! With their | ||
| CF | advice on intfiction.org, they have given me the basis on which all | ||
| CF | the standard feedback is intercepted. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You'll do me a big favor if you type "script" first and send me your | ||
| CF | transcript (along with any feedback and ideas you may have) to | ||
| CF | olaf.nowacki@gmail.com! | ||
