At least parts of the game you're playing right now take place on said event, during which a workshop for writers took place, we screened GET LAMP by Jason Scott and people could play several interactive fiction games on a couple of terminals we provided. Ah yes, and we played the game you're playing right now collectively on the big screen, which was a lot of fun also, in spite of all its bugginess.\n\nBut now to my apologies. This is by no means a good game, if we take polished and well thought-out games like, well, let's face it, every single game that did well in the past 16 years of the Interactive Fiction Competition and compare them to our game; it was written in just a couple of weeks by me and my friend Anonymeuss (thanks to the rest of the Nerd Kru for making this insane story up, you know who you are!), and neither of us had ever written a piece of interactive fiction before. It's a very railroaded game and probably still pretty buggy, the puzzles aren't too avant-garde and it features long deserts of text that make the opening of Oliver Ullmann's \"The Duel That Spanned The Ages\" look like a four-line poem. But we still think our crazy little story is pretty funny and we hope you'll give it a spin.

I must tell you something.\"", "endoftext": false }, { "action": "You sit", "response": "(the barstool)\n\n\"Listen to my words!\"\n\"I am a powerful wizard. I am aligned with the forces of good. Another powerful wizard is trapped in a magical location on this ship. He is aligned with the forces of evil. The island to which ship travels has come into alignment with a place of great evil magical power located in another universe. When the ship reaches the island, the evil wizard will slowly accrue power from the power source in the other universe. If the ship stays at the island long enough, he will accrue enough power to break free from the magical forces that hold him prisoner. Then he will conquer the entire earth and enslave the entire human race.\n\"There is only one way that this can be prevented. Three power crystals are located on this ship, all on different decks from each other. You must find them. In order to invoke their power, you must hold them in your hands; you cannot put them in any sort of container. After you have found them, taking them to the location of the portal to the evil wizard's prison will cause the area to be illuminated in a bright pink aura. You must go up from that location several times to reach the evil wizard's prison. You must bring the three power crystals to the place where the evil wizard is before he accrues enough power to break free. The crystals will cause him to be destroyed.\n\"You are probably wondering why I don't gather these crystals\nmyself since I am such a powerful wizard. The problem is that this is something only you can do. You have a special aura about you.\nBecause of this aura, you can gather the crystals. Because of this aura, you can use them to defeat the evil wizard. I cannot cast any spells to assist you; if I do, the crystals will be destroyed.\n\"I can, however, help you by giving you two magical items: an evil detector and some magic eyedrops. The evil detector will tell you how much evil power the evil wizard has absorbed from the evil power source. If it reads 275 or higher, he will have enough power to escape from his confines. The magic eyedrops will allow you to see the power crystals, which are normally invisible to ordinary people.\" The wizard pulls something out of the depths of his cloak that\nlooks very similar to a digital wristwatch and puts it around your wrist. \"This is the evil detector\", he says.\nThe wizard takes a spray bottle out of the depths of his robe and sprays a liquid from it into your eyes. It stings for a while, but after the stinging goes away, you feel as if your vision is somehow more acute. \"Those were the magic eyedrops,\" he says.\n\"Before you go, I must warn you of one thing,\" says the wizard.\n\"The special aura that surrounds you is a mixed blessing. It does allow you to collect the crystals and defeat the evil wizard. Its drawback, however, is that if you come in complete alignment with an evil power source in another universe, you will die. This means that you must not go out onto the island.\n\"Oh, one more thing: You're probably thinking that this is a ridiculous scenario, that surely since I am such a powerful wizard I can do this myself. To help you understand the situation better, I will remind you of a story you have probably heard before, that of Aladdin. In that story, a powerful sorcerer wanted to get a magical lamp out of a cave. However, only Aladdin could enter the cave. It didn't matter that the sorcerer was a powerful sorcerer. Only Aladdin could enter the cave.\n\"If you want to hear all this again, ask me about the evil wizard.\"\n\nYour score just went up 5 points!\n\nOkay, you're now sitting on the barstool.", "endoftext": false }, { "action": "You look at the detector", "response": "The evil detector looks similar to a digital wristwatch.

Then there's other things: warm arms around you, that scent? But no, that never happened did it? Finally, you're with three men in your flat, laughing away. They are slapping you on the back.\n\n\"You saved our concert you know\".\n\nPhil Collins. Ah yes, it's Genesis, You'd always wanted to meet them and what you had to go through to do so. Was it just a game you wonder? Genesis Quest? No you remember, your first adventure and yes Elzerith.The dream fades and you're back in your flat again. What could this all mean?

[ { "action": "%", "response": "Welcome to the IF story \"Closed Circles\".\n\nBefore heading into the story there are a few things to be mentioned to help you get the richest possible experience of the tale.\n\nYou will enter the story as a story character, free (within limits) to interact with the elements of the story and the story world. Your story character - the protagonist - will come with ideas, a personal history, and a general outlook on life that you may not agree with, but which you cannot alter. You as a reader are invited to accompany this character and to an extent decide his actions. You will be challenged, both as the story character and as a reader to make up your mind about what is going on, and what is the appropriate response to what the protagonist experiences.\n\nIf you at any time wish to be reminded of the most common ways of interacting with the story (commands that are available to you) you can type \"help\" to bring up a separate banner window with a static list of options. There will be other ways of interacting with the story too, but it is up to you to find them. Pay attention to what the story suggest that you do. That way you will be pointed in the right direction.\n\n\"About\" will bring up the story's cover art. \"Credits\" will give you the acknowledgments of the game. If nothing you type bring any reactions from the window, take a glance at the status bar at the bottom of the screen. You may be inside a narrative that prompts you to hit the space bar to continue, like this screen.\n\nNow when you are ready, you can hit the space bar and be transported to where the story begins. When you do, this introduction will be cleared from your window. Remember; \"help\" will bring up a separate banner window with a sample list of options.\n\nSPECIAL NOTICE: To my best estimate this intro is about 15% of the story as it will eventually be, and it is intended for the IF IntroComp only. The submission consists of 7 rooms, several objects, but no NPCs. When you reach Part II of the story the narrative stops mid-stride, but you can go back and forth to discover more of the content, for as long as you like. My apologies in advance for all those bugs and other ugliness that is bound to crop up.\n\nYou are transported through time and imagination to a dark and cold place, and you slowly become aware of your surroundings. In particular a most annoying voice:\n\n\"Time and time again the world has developed through the opposition of new ideas against old ones,\" someone says. \"It is an ageless war where the old ways are bound to lose on the trivial grounds that victory inevitably is defined by the survivors. And in its widest sense the core of progress is to act in the interest of self preservation.\"\n\nThe words seem to drone meaningless and disembodied around in your mind, uttered from afar, or perhaps remembered. Somehow they seem important. You are not really sure why; right now rest holds more appeal than lectures. But the churning wont't stop;\n\nConflict. Progress. Self preservation. Duty. It goes on and on.\n\n\"Go to hell,\" you think, but the thought appears automatic and without context.\n\nA loud clatter from somewhere nearby makes you start, and the movement provokes a wave of nausea. You curl up and retch emptily with your face down into trampled grass, and agony explodes inside your chest with sudden brutality.\n\nSelf preservation.\n\nYou open your eyes again, recognizing that self preservation as a practical excercise drives home a much harder lesson than a lecture.\n\n\n\nA swath of downtrodden grass (lying on the ground)\nThe sky is dark and chasing clouds are gathering into black mountains defined by the blinking stars they blot out as they build. Cold wind puts a vast ocean of surrounding grass into swaying motion. The moon is up, and its bleak presence reveals a grotesque scene: Wooden debris is scattered across a swath of partly downtrodden grass. Clothes are trampled into the dirt. A looming silhouette turns out to be a broken stage coach, tilting towards you on three wheels. The missing wheel is nowhere in sight. A body hangs out of a window next to an open door swinging in the wind, and suitcases and bags are lying around, open, their contents spilled on the ground.\n\nThe grass is trampled in a corridor to the north, outlining a track of sorts.\n\nYou grit your teeth; your rib cage feels like a conflagration, and something is wrong with your right leg.", "endoftext": false }, { "action": "You look at right leg", "response": "A long cut runs across your right tigh.

Aside from a roof to keep rain off of you, you should consider what you will sleep on. You will want some place dry, and to make it difficult for insects to get to you. Some boards raised up by some stones might do the trick, although some creepy crawlies will manage to get up the stones and around the boards it at least makes it diffcult.\n\nFlying insects can be kept at bay by the smoke of a nearby campfire just outside of your sleeping area, which you'll want to have anyway for your own warmth.

You will need to be in a relativly calm environment (away from winds and rain) and you will need patience.\n\nTo get started you need to set aside an area where the fire will burn, this is called the firepit. To do this simply MAKE FIREPIT, then it's just a matter of putting the right kinds of things into the pit, and then igniting it somehow.\n\nThere are 3 main types of material you will need; tinder, kindling,\nand logs. Tinder refers to a very light, very flamable material that usually burns up very quickly. This could be as simple as pocket lint. Or, you can create tinder by using a knife on wood to create wood shavings. Kindling refers to small twigs which burn fairly easily once exposed to a fire, but are difficult to ignite on their own. And logs can refer to any size log from 1/2 inch diameter up.\n\nAll material will need to be completely dry. You will not be able to get wood from a freshly cut tree to burn easily. Such wood will only burn once a hot fire has evaporated all the water from within it.\n\nYour ignition source would be, ideally, a cigarette lighter or some matches. Failing that there are a plethora of other means of starting fires. These include: Sunlight magnification, sparks from flint & steel, and friction from rubbing dry wood together.\n\nTo use sunlight magnification, use a lens (such as from eyeglasses) to focus the sun's light onto your tinder. Make the \"dot\" as tiny as possible. Once the tinder starts to burn quickly deposit it under your stacked up kindling. Blowing on it gently might help it ignite.\n\nFlint combined with Steel can produce sparks which can ignite tinder. If you have something made of steel and a flint stone you can COMBINE those two which will give you a decent fire starter.\n\nDidn't you forget something?

Try\narranging rocks in the form of an arrow in the direction of your travel. This will not only help others find you but should keep you from running around in circles.\n\nKeeping a fire going is essential, fires produce smoke and smoke may\nbe the only sign of your existance that's visible over the tree-line.\nA smokey fire will greatly enhance your odds of being rescued. Once you have a fire going put some smoldering material on the fire, such as dry leaves, which don't burn well but do cause a lot of smoke.\n\nOf course, it would be ideal if you could simply talk to civilization. Cell phones are usually not useable in remote areas however shortwave radios may be helpful. Small portable radios may not transmit very far, especially when their batteries are weak or they have ineffective antennas. But there are things you can do to increase the transmition radius: If you could break open such a radio and solder on some other kind of antenna (such as a copper wire) to the antenna leads then perhaps you could make yourself heard.\n\nDoing these things will increase your chances of being seen but they aren't a guarantee. You should try to find civilization rather than simply waiting to be rescued. If you see a source of water, follow it, towns and cities are always formed along rivers and small mountain streams often flow into rivers. Certainly if you see any power lines then following them is a good bet, however they can go on for many miles without entering a town.\n\nDidn't you forget something?

You will need to be in a relativly calm environment (away from winds and rain) and you will need patience.\n\nTo get started you need to set aside an area where the fire will burn, this is called the firepit. To do this simply MAKE FIREPIT, then it's just a matter of putting the right kinds of things into the pit, and then igniting it somehow.\n\nThere are 3 main types of material you will need; tinder, kindling,\nand logs. Tinder refers to a very light, very flamable material that usually burns up very quickly. This could be as simple as pocket lint. Or, you can create tinder by using a knife on wood to create wood shavings. Kindling refers to small twigs which burn fairly easily once exposed to a fire, but are difficult to ignite on their own. And logs can refer to any size log from 1/2 inch diameter up.\n\nAll material will need to be completely dry. You will not be able to get wood from a freshly cut tree to burn easily. Such wood will only burn once a hot fire has evaporated all the water from within it.\n\nYour ignition source would be, ideally, a cigarette lighter or some matches. Failing that there are a plethora of other means of starting fires. These include: Sunlight magnification, sparks from flint & steel, and friction from rubbing dry wood together.\n\nTo use sunlight magnification, use a lens (such as from eyeglasses) to focus the sun's light onto your tinder. Make the \"dot\" as tiny as possible. Once the tinder starts to burn quickly deposit it under your stacked up kindling. Blowing on it gently might help it ignite.\n\nFlint combined with Steel can produce sparks which can ignite tinder. If you have something made of steel and a flint stone you can COMBINE those two which will give you a decent fire starter.\n\nOn the radio:\nMAXSTED: No I have no relatives who suffer from a cataleptic illness. Perhaps there are a few other Maxsteds in the book, try them.\nJOE: I have, you're Mr. Zacharia Maxsted, you're the last on the list. MAXSTED: Well I can't help you.\n\nOn the radio:\nJOE: What now?

Afterwards you will want to make a fire and that will take time as well. If you don't think you have enough time to pull it off, you should try to find a ready-made shelter.\n\nQuick and dirty shelters include: A cave, a hole (if you have a shovel you can make one) it's not pretty but it will keep the wind off of you, pointless in the rain though, or a hollowed out tree (as good as a cave, but smaller).\n\nmaterials. Aside from a roof to keep rain off of you, you should consider what you will sleep on. You will want some place dry, and to make it difficult for insects to get to you. Some boards raised up by some stones might do the trick, although some creepy crawlies will manage to get up the stones and around the boards it at least makes it diffcult.\n\nFlying insects can be kept at bay by the smoke of a nearby campfire just outside of your sleeping area, which you'll want to have anyway for your own warmth. See Chapter Three for information about fires.\n\nthe roof support and leaning logs against it. Then fasten the tarp or other covering to those logs.

Try\narranging rocks in the form of an arrow in the direction of your travel. This will not only help others find you but should keep you from running around in circles.\n\nKeeping a fire going is essential, fires produce smoke and smoke may\nbe the only sign of your existance that's visible over the tree-line.\nA smokey fire will greatly enhance your odds of being rescued. Once you have a fire going put some smoldering material on the fire, such as dry leaves, which don't burn well but do cause a lot of smoke.\n\nOf course, it would be ideal if you could simply talk to civilization. Cell phones are usually not useable in remote areas however shortwave radios may be helpful. Small portable radios may not transmit very far, especially when their batteries are weak or they have ineffective antennas. But there are things you can do to increase the transmition radius: If you could break open such a radio and solder on some other kind of antenna (such as a copper wire) to the antenna leads then perhaps you could make yourself heard.\n\nDoing these things will increase your chances of being seen but they aren't a guarantee. You should try to find civilization rather than simply waiting to be rescued. If you see a source of water, follow it, towns and cities are always formed along rivers and small mountain streams often flow into rivers.

Do you know it?\"\n\nMancini formal smile disappears.\n\n\"Talks about these superhumans who go around saving the world, you know. There is a paragraph, in the book, I really loved.

Zach and Tony turn around just in time to see two bullets each piercing their skull. Johnny tries the other side, but to no avail: One hits him in the leg and the next explodes into his chest like a carnival cracker. Mancini turns slowly and gets to face an old man, maybe in his seventies.\n\n\"You have killed my sons,\" the old man whispers, and in less than a second you recognize him. He was in the pic you found in the album. He's father to Vincente and Vittorio Benelli, and grandfather to Hellen. He is your grandfather. \"I ain't lettin ya kill my grandsons, also.\"\n\nBehind him, you scout the fragile, yet stubborn form of Hellen. She is smiling, although her smile looks a bit cold. She winks to you, and in that wink you finally read an infinite levity.\n\nThe Gods have listened, you think, smiling. They have listened and answered.\n\nAnd -- as you read in that book -- once the Gods have spoken, they have spoken.\n\nAnd their answer is ultimate.", "endoftext": true } ]

The various picture sizes were chosen to fit the 640 x 480 VGA screen of the original version.

I think Dreamland Revised is great, because I did the best I could, but it's also crammed full of spoilers.\n\nHere's my original review.\n\nDreamland (Wonderland's Alice)\nThis is some new VR/AR thing I looked at last month. The gimmick is it's a game that you play in your dreams. I found the concept intriguing, so I hooked up the ol\" REM Enhancer and downloaded the game's app to it. At first, I couldn't tell if the game was working (REME and other dreamtechs can be pretty buggy), but a few days in, I started having the trippiest dreams. A woman, dressed all in white with no eyes, asks me if I have visited the \"Quartzian Palace\". Far off in the distance, I see a castle that glows in many colors, but the way there always seems to be blocked by a chasm. Over many nights I struggled to find a way there, sometimes through bizarre dangers, often through places of great and strange beauty, until one night, I finally managed to find a way into the palace…\n\nAaaand it turns out the ending is some serious \"Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!\" bullshit. Like, seriously. Watch it on Youtube if you don't believe me. It's such a shame, because the game was so cool up to that, but I honestly cannot recommend this game in good conscience thanks to that ending.\n\nI deleted the app off my REME the next day. I'm still getting ads in my sleep. Goddammit.\n\n\nSo what you want to do is get across the chasm and STOP THERE. Do NOT use your Visage to pass the portcullis, do NOT go into the Quartzian Palace, that's what trips off the ads. Believe me you do not want that shit.

You are so worried of what's going to happen to you, but I can assure you, I will keep you safe. It is my job to bring justice, and not to let chaos rule. Trust me.\" There's a long pause, and I can see the cogs in William's head ticking. I give him his time. He needs to decide he can trust me on his own. Eventually William opens his mouth.\n\"Ok, I'll trust you,\" he says. \"If you promise I'll be safe through and after all of this.\"\n\"I promise,\" I say with a smile. William takes a deep breath and then starts to talk.\n\"I've been a high-class scientist all my life,\" he says, \"but I seem to have had the worst luck. I keep taking jobs that collapse around me. My boss gets broke, or the company goes under, or we're sabotaged or betrayed. You name it, it's happened to me. I've lost so much money, and have had to restart my career so many times. But it's not an issue of pride and money anymore. I have a family I need to support. I took this job because the pay was so high. I didn't like the sound of it one bit from a security point-of-view, but I figured if I could earn enough money quickly, I could repay some of my debts and quit before anything went wrong. It seems I was too slow.\"\nI feel kinda bad for the guy. I hope my face shows it.\n\n\"So I'm afraid you're right,\" William continues. \"I worry. I'm paranoid. In fact, you'll be surprised at how paranoid I've been. Watch.\"\nWilliam grabs the curtain and pulls. As it falls to the floor, I see a hole in the wall the size of a wardrobe, full of notebooks.\n\"In these notebooks,\" William informs me, \"is a record of what everyone has done on every day since we moved here almost three months ago. I reasoned that if I knew what everyone was doing, I could avoid something going wrong.\"\n\"You kept tabs on all four of them?\" I ask.\n\"That's right,\" William says. \"Luke, Tim, Calvin and even Seth.\"\n\"What did you find out?\" I ask, eagerly.\n\"Nothing,\" he says with a sigh. \"But despite the evidence telling me I was safe, I still felt so scared. But I was right, wasn't I? Something did happen. I'm afraid that's why I've been so useless when talking to you so far. I've been too afraid of something happening to me.\"\n\"I guarantee you can trust me to keep you safe,\" I repeat. \"Now tell me what you know.\"\n\"First,\" William says with a triumphant smile, \"you're going to want to see this.\"\nHe holds out a notebook. The date says November 5th. The day of the murder. I read through it quickly, and then look up at William, who nods.\n\"That's right,\" he says. \"Nobody entered V's room on the day of the murder.\"\n\"But she said someone issued her orders to do with the doors and oxygen supply.\"\n\"Well maybe you should ask her about that. Ask her about her visitors yesterday. Unless you'd like to ask me some more questions first, that is.\"\n\nWilliam's room is surprisingly luxurious, but then these are top class scientists. There's a large bed, a fur rug, a bookcase full of books, a TV, a computer, a huge curtain against the north wall and a large wardrobe. It's a nicer room than my own.

Besides, even if you do have such a record, could not the killer have prepared it to fool you?\"\n\"They could have, but I have other proof too. You lied to me earlier. You told me anybody could overide the fingerprint locks, when we both know it actually requires the room owner's password to overide the locks.\"\n\"So?\"\n\"So you lied about it to protect yourself. In fact I am confident that you've been lying and editing data for weeks without anybody noticing.\"\n\"And why would I need to protect myself?\"\n\"Because you killed Seth! Who else had access to all the controls without needing passwords? Who was the only person in your room yesterday when the controls were set? Who else would have used such a mechanical method, when a simple stabbing would have suffice?\" \"Stabbings are easy to solve, you would have discovered them!\"\n\"All crimes are easy to solve, V. Murderers are not clever. They are irrational, stupid people. If a crew-member had used the method you used I would have caught them as well, just as I have caught you.\" \"Except I'm not irrational.

At last everybody, all six of us are in V's room together.

I explain to them the conversation I had with V just a minute ago.\n\"So why did V make those mistakes?\" Luke asks.\n\"It was her mission,\" I say.\nSuddenly, V speaks with an audible female voice, albeit a slightly computerised one. Everyone in the room, including me, is slightly shocked.\n\"My mission,\" she says, \"was to record the effects of lower life-forms under a system collapse. What better way to cause a system collapse on you tiny humans than to eliminate your leader.\"\n\"Isn't it a bad move,\" Tim pipes up, \"to be in the same room, or even the same space station, as an all-powerful computer bent on causing a system collapse on us all?\"\n\"No, she won't hurt us,\" I say calmly.\n\"You're clever,\" V says. \"For a human.\"\nI ignore V and continue: \"V's mission was the same as yours. Research. She was given the goal of causing the chaos and recording the outcome. She doesn't want to kill us all, because that's not part of the test. It doesn't matter if she's caught or not either.\"\n\"I have all the test data I need,\" V said, in a happier voice. \"Unplug me, destroy me, I don't care. I fulfilled my mission. I did my job. Enterprise Research will be pleased.\"\n\nV was indeed unplugged. The crew lacked the trust in V that I had, and dismantled her as soon we could land the space station on a planet. I understood V though. She was unlike any criminal I'd had to find before, and probably unlike any I'll find again. I don't approve of what she did, but I feel a certain respect for her sense of duty. And can I really call her actions evil if she was just a machine?\nWhen I eventually retired from the crew to my own space ship, I folded away my electronic notepad and realised that I had again been taking notes the whole time on auto-pilot. It's almost a relief. The whole case will be documented to back-up my arguments when I return to my work. Once I've convinced them that I'm right, I can forget the whole case. I can go on doing my job. Once again I succeeded in catching the killer. Tomorrow I'll have a new case. I am the law, and the law must keep working to protect the innocent. But innocent people were hurt, despite my work. My heart goes out to the crew members affected by this tragedy. I, like them, will keep an eye out for Enterprise Research.\nCongratulations!", "endoftext": true } ]

That dream was really something. You remember it quite fondly. So, you're very much eager to see how the war for democracy ends.\n\nYour bedroom's still dark; your blinds are closed, so it's a given.

[ { "action": "%", "response": "I'm in a tattoo parlor, getting the Zork logo inked on my forearm, in order to get more screen time for the \"GET LAMP\" documentary. Jason Scott is here, grinning like the Sentient Demon Sun on the day mankind slowly discerns that there has always been a second, sentient, demon sun. He switched the original \"Zork\" logo the artist was using for reference with the one from Zork III when the guy was self-administrating a body shot. I'm no stranger to drinking on the job, but the artist pooled the booze in the \"o\" of his self-stenciled \"MOM\" tattoo before lighting it on fire. So I'm sufficiently distracted to where I don't realize that the guy is painfully drawing in extra Roman numerals until it's too late.\n\nScott's filming the whole thing, panning up to my grimacing. The Zork logo is made up of a bunch of little rocks, and the surface area for the extra ones is greater than that of a big batch of Safeway-Brand discount popcorn chicken. I can't even remember why \"being on film\" was so important to me, except that I wanted more exposure than Kent Tessman, CM, that smug bastard. Scott had a deal for me: First, help him break into Adam Thornton's second home in Canada, so we can film ourselves torching the place in order to dramatize the ending of Trinity. And secondly, be the subject for \"the tattoo scene\" to show how crazy text game fans are. I'd get featured in seven extra clips by doing all this.\n\n\"How many clips am I in now?\" I asked. I'm fucking shrewd, just look at me. If it were like four or something, well, I'm no fool. Four clips is enough to splice together a Youtube video with and get some thoughtful comments, maybe even some that don't bash women, wets or Jews.\n\n\"This many,\" he said, holding up a copy of Zork Zero with his hand over the \"Zork\" part.

I'm not actually that great with geography, so if that's impossible because of the Thousand Lakes or the precipice of a gaping chasm, then I guess he took a ferry. He bought hookers for the interview in an attempt to relax me beforehand, but one of them was scorching hot and looked like a girl I never got in high school, so I kept messing up what I was trying to say and making everything worse. Plus, it all took place in my basement, which is pretty much just an old oriental rug and nine Mr. Do! cabinets in various states of disuse.\n\nThe one gal I was trying to get the phone number of was down to pasties and heels when there was a knock on the door. Normally that doesn't happen that much because 1) I live like a disgusting orc at the bottom of a spider-pit and 2) I have a self-styled moat around the house, consisting of that week's curry oil, a kraken and old Monster Energy Drink cans that I \"recycle\" back into the \"environment\" by my lonesome.\n\n\"Who is it?\" I bellowed. I hoped that taking charge of the situation would impress the girl I liked, but she was a hooker. Without even answering, five guys from the Lyons Pinball Team came downstairs. I recognized them instantly: the Jerk Who Monopolizes the Fireball Machine, the Bastard Who Monopolizes the Orbitor 1 machine, the Whoreson Who Monopolizes the Twilight Zone Machine and two guys who constantly play grabass near the bill change machine.\n\n\"Who the fuck are these guys?\" I asked Scott anyway.\n\n\"Got my fingers in a lot of pies,\" he said, while at the same time knuckle-deep into the one called Chillaxxx.\n\nAfter a little while it registered to him that, no, seriously, I wanted to know what those guys were doing here.\n\n\"I'm filming them after you, and I needed to consolidate some things.

He's also telepathically bonded to at least one of his dogs, like E.T. and Elliot, so the one he named Golem gets shit-faced out its gourd as he does.\"\n\n\"You're really obsessed about clip length,\" says Scott. \"Look, if I don't make it out of here and something independently horrible happens to like seven other guys involved with this project, it will be up to you and Jon Blask to release this thing.

It throws down chickens like a pack of orange Tic-Tacs. It even eats the common predators up there, like, I dunno, mongooses and wolverines.\" I start to suspect that Scott is one of those guys who don't actually know a lot about the nation of Canada, like 1) Americans who think that Toronto is a quick drive from Calgary, and 2) the entirety of the Québécois. \"The Beast is completely out of control, but nobody will do anything for two reasons. The first is the tax credit dispersed to the locals when half their stock goes missing, the second is because they all want to skull-fuck it.\"\n\nHe clears his throat. \"Although the thing is described as a puma crossed with a panther, I don't think that does it justice. You might be thinking of a four-legged beast, or some odd amalgam of the two distinct beasts, if you're some kind of thick-browed goddamn sped. You have to eliminate that First World mindset.\"\n\nI'm, of course, freezing my testicles off in a Saints jersey, undershirt, work boots, pince-nez and little else, involved in some kind of amateur poaching/arson operation that's being filmed for posterity. Aside from introducing some trouble with malaria and voting, I can't feel any less First World.\n\n\"It's actually a woman, and it has a great body.\" Scott turns to look me in the eye for the first time since Edmonton. He searches for any trace that I might think this is some sort of anthropomorphic animal/fetish thing.\n\n\"Great rack,\" he continues. \"Fangs, of course, but who isn't into that? Certainly not the kind of people that would live up here in this frozen wasteland. Sleek, athletic legs... and she kills prey for her food and all that. She's an unbelievably sexy creature of mythology, and we're going to get her on film when she's passed out at Thornton's.\"\n\n\"Wait... you know that she's here? How? How do you know these things?\"\n\n\"How did I know that Don Woods killed a dragon with his bare hands and then blogged about it in Willie Crowther's FORTRAN game, dummy? I just do. We're going to get into Thornton's place under the guise of interviewing him and then scour his place once he passes out and his eyes are liquor-scented 'XXX's. We'll film the Beast of Exmoor and then burn the place to the ground, killing everyone inside.\" My heart skips a beat, as Thornton has a really nice Atari trackball on his MAME system.

Don't ask questions about what I'm brewing or have brewed in those bathtubs.\" He walks us out to the MAME cab. \"Lastly, all these games are yours to play and set high scores on, except one,\" he says.\n\n\"Boon-ga Boon-ga?\" I ask.\n\n\"What? No. Major Havoc. Don't fuck with it - I don't have my roller set right, and I don't want to go digging back there to reset the score if one of you degenerates gets a high score with the arrow keys.\" There aren't any arrow keys on a MAME cabinet, but I'm temporarily blind after smelling the bathtub concoction, and Scott's focused on looking for the Beast. I try to soak in some of the craftsmanship of the table: it's divided into four sections - each player gets his own joystick, six cherry microswitch buttons, a martini holder and a bolted-on cigarette tray.\n\n\"Why don't you,\" whispers Scott, \"distract him while I try to flush out the Beast.\" By the end of it he's not whispering any more, because he got a good glance at Thornton's eyeballs, which look like twin, bloodshot magnets of a like charge, both trying to escape his skull in opposite directions. \"In fact,\" he says to me directly in front of Thornton, \"Why don't you go into the other room with him while I look for the Beast so we can burn this place down.\"\n\n\"OK,\" I say.\n\n\"OK,\" says Thornton.\n\nThornton takes me over to the MAME cab and wipes his chin with the back of his arm. He had somehow consumed a fifth of something in the brief seconds I was listening to Scott. \"It'sh my pride and joy, you know,\" he slurs. \"It's the most important thing I have ever contributed to the world.\"\n\n\"It's a quality machine, definitely,\" I say as I spin through the front-end software, looking for the one game he said I couldn't play. I need help.\n\n\"No, thish homebrew,\" he says while one of his knees gives out, and at first I think he means some text game he crammed into MAMEWah before realizing, no, he was talking booze-homebrew. \"The cat-girl is good too,\" he says.

No reaction whatsoever.\n\nHis dog Golem staggers down from upstairs, his face looking like a bunch of burst blood sausages tied together with uncongealed Gorilla glue. \"Shit!\" I exclaim, wondering if the thing is going to live or die.

She wasn't actually in the MAME machine's monitor, it was just a combination of her reflection and my fucked-up vision, thanks to smelling all the homebrew. The Beast of Exmoor drives its fangs into the back of my neck, and I instantly make a mess out of my shorts. I slump down against the MAME machine, smearing blood all over it.\n\n\"Jason....!\" I attempt to yell his name, to warn him.\n\n\"scott, scott,\" says the Beast, mimicking the Loud Room from Zork I, but kind of messing it up. I raise a finger to correct her, but am in such poor condition that my held possessions instead scatter around on the ground.\n\n\"My wife!\" exclaims Thornton, as he bursts into tears. \"My sweet, feral wife... why must you kill again, you know it drives me to drink...\"\n\nJason Scott comes flying down the stairs, equipment in tow, camera trained on the Beast. \"You!\" he bellows to Mrs. Thornton, the Beast of Exmoor. \"You're, you're -- \"\n\n\"Sated,\" she says, as she picks up the book of Frontalot matches from just beyond my reach and lights a cigarette.
