***** SESSION 1 *
		DavidW says, "I found some ParserComp games we can play."
		Jacqueline says, "Oh, cool. I was seaching through Neo-Twiny Jam stuff, but of course it's mostly Twine. We played one of those last week, though, and it was ... it was. haha"
		DavidW says, "There's an Andrew Schultz game called Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens. I can't wait to see what that one's about. Impossible to guess."
		Jacqueline says, "Ah, yeah. Saw that on IFDB. I suspect it'll be more than one session, but we could fire that up."
		DavidW says, "There's also a new Garry Francis game called The Samurai and the Kappa, so we can have another session of Asian mythology."

CF \|
CF \| Ever since the Battle of Sekigahara and the rise of the Tokugawa
CF \| shogunate, the samurai have gradually lost their military function to
CF \| become courtiers, bureaucrats and administrators. This life was not
CF \| for you, so you find yourself wandering from town to town looking for
CF \| work where your sword skills are valued. There's always plenty of work
CF \| escorting dignitaries, or seeking out weapon smugglers and bandits.
CF \|
CF \| Late one evening you wander into a small town. As it's not a
CF \| post-town, it doesn't have a honjin for high-ranking travellers, so
CF \| you enter the lobby of a hatagoya that faces the street. You're
CF \| greeted by the innkeeper, who bows deeply and invites you inside. You
CF \| don't need much coaxing, as you're looking forward to a bath, a meal
CF \| and a good night's sleep.
CF \|
CF \| The innkeeper enters the inn to make arrangements, leaving you to
CF \| remove your waraji.
CF \|
CF \| [You're about to embark on an adventure. You can move around,
CF \| examine things and manipulate things by typing simple text commands of
CF \| one or more words, usually starting with a verb. The tutorial will
CF \| offer suggestions to get you started. Commands in the tutorial are
CF \| shown in upper case, but you can enter them in lower case, if you
CF \| prefer. You can turn the tutorial off by typing TUTORIAL OFF and turn
CF \| it back on by typing TUTORIAL ON. Good luck.]
CF \|
CF \| [WARNING: This game contains nudity, mild sexual references and
CF \| adult content. Do not play if you're likely to be offended by
CF \| this.]

CF \| Lobby
CF \| The covered lobby has an earthen floor where guests can take off their
CF \| footwear while protected during inclement weather. Swallows and house
CF \| martins have also sought shelter here by building their nests in the
CF \| rafters and under the eaves. The honjin (or chief inn) would have an
CF \| entrance courtyard closed to outside view by a wall and a substantial
CF \| gate, whereas this hatagoya (or small inn) has just an opening
CF \| directly onto the street to the west. The entry to the inn is up a

CF \|
CF \| Your name is Haruko Tadamori, the last in a long line of proud and
CF \| honourable samurai in the Haruko family.

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x waraji"
CF ] Lobby Moves: 3

CF \| > X WARAJI
CF \|
CF \| The waraji are sandals made from rice straw rope. They're very
CF \| comfortable, but they wear out quickly if you do a lot of walking. If

CF \| kegutsu horse mane shoes, to keep your feet warm.

CF \|
CF \| It's a small animal skin pouch with a draw cord. You can't see inside,

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x kataginu"
CF ] Lobby Moves: 10
CF \|
CF \| > X KATAGINU
CF \|
CF \| The kataginu is the outer coat or vest of your clothing. It's open
CF \| under the arms with wide shoulders, making it the more obvious sign of
CF \| your rank as a samurai. It's made from a purplish-grey hemp, which is
CF \| a very hardy material.

CF \|
CF \| You take off the waraji.

CF \|
CF \| Hatagoya
CF \| This hatagoya (or small inn) is typical of many that you've seen in
CF \| other small towns. It's comprised of a raised timber platform covered
CF \| with tatami matting. There's a small ash pit sunk into the floor with
CF \| a kettle of hot water suspended over the coals for preparing tea. A
CF \| sliding paper screen to the east conceals the guest rooms beyond. The
CF \| exit from the hatagoya is to the south.
CF \|
CF \| You can see an innkeeper and a maid here.
CF \|
CF \| [If you come across another character in the game, apart from
CF \| examining them, you should also try talking to them. Try TALK TO
CF \| INNKEEPER and TALK TO MAID.]
CF \|
CF \| >
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x innkeeper"
CF ] Hatagoya Moves: 21
CF \|

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x apron"
CF ] Hatagoya Moves: 22

CF \|
CF \| The innkeeper's apron is stained and grimy. It's tied above his belly.

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x maid"
CF ] Hatagoya Moves: 23
CF \|

CF \|
CF \| The maid is very pretty, but she looks too young to be a maid. You
CF \| wonder how old she is.
CF \|

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x pit"
CF ] Hatagoya Moves: 24
CF \|

CF \|
CF \| The coals in the ash pit are glowing red hot.
CF \|

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x kettle"
CF ] Hatagoya Moves: 25
CF \|
CF \| > X KETTLE
CF \|
CF \| It looks like a permanent fixture. As it's hot, you'd better leave it
CF \| alone.
CF \|
CF \| >
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "talk to innkeeper"
CF ] Hatagoya Moves: 26
CF \|
CF \| > TALK TO INNKEEPER
CF \|
CF \| The innkeeper bows and welcomes you to his inn. "My name is Nakaari.
CF \| I'm the owner of this inn. We'll do everything we can to ensure that
CF \| you have a pleasant stay. The cost is one silver coin for a hot bath,
CF \| a meal and a bed for the night. It's an extra silver coin if you avail
CF \| yourself of any extra 'service'. You can settle your account in the
CF \| morning. If there's anything you need, just ask me or your maid. She's
CF \| waiting for you over there."
CF \|
CF \| [As well as talking to the innkeeper, you can ask him about
CF \| things. Try ASK HIM ABOUT MAID, then ASK HIM ABOUT HIMSELF.]
CF \|
CF \| >		Jacqueline says, "Goodness."
		says, "Welcome to ClubFloyd: AIF Edition."
		Jacqueline says, "Let's ask him about stuff."
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "The extra services don't have to be massages with happy endings."

CF \|
CF \| "A post-town is a bigger town that has lodging for high-ranking

		Jacqueline says, "Ah. Thanks for the ask on post-town. I didn't think that'd be a topic."
		DavidW says, "I didn't think it would be either, but I was pleasantly surprised."
		Jacqueline grimmaces. "Sure. Sure, ask about the 'service'." She makes a weird face.

CF ] North Hall Moves: 39
CF \|
CF \| > E
CF \|
CF \| Mokuko follows you.
CF \|
CF \| North Hall
CF \| This is the northern end of a short, narrow hallway. Its only purpose
CF \| is to separate the rooms from the inn. This gives guests a feeling of
CF \| privacy, although the paper walls do nothing to prevent sound
CF \| travelling between the inn and the rooms. The hall continues south to
CF \| your room. You can feel a steamy warmth coming from a room beyond the
CF \| hall to the north. Another guest room is behind a closed sliding
CF \| screen to the east and the inn is beyond the sliding screen to the
CF \| west.
CF \|
CF \| You can see Mokuko here.

CF \| >		DavidW asks, "you just know that even if refuse to ask for the extra, we'll hear it from the other customer through the paper-thin walls?"
		Jacqueline says, "That's what I'm thinking, unfortunately."
		DavidW says, "We'll be in the bath, naked, the other customer will do something to the maid causing a scream, and we'll rush to her rescue, yes? That's my expectation now."

CF \| > N
CF \|
CF \| Mokuko follows you.
CF \|
CF \| Bath House
CF \| The bath house is against an outer wall of the inn since the water in
CF \| the bathtub is heated by lighting a fire underneath it through a small
CF \| aperture from the outside. This reduces the risk of fire breaking out
CF \| in the inn itself. When you've finished your bath, you can leave the
