Floyd | Hallway
Floyd | Stone columns, either side of the northwest arch to your study, brace
Floyd | the ceiling, whose upper reaches are lost in darkness that your lamp
Floyd | cannot pierce. The hallway winds deeper into the tower to the
Floyd | northeast; but a faint wisp of draft seeps in from the south.

Floyd | Study
Floyd | Stone walls, wreathed in shadows and velvet curtains, rise into the
Floyd | gloom overhead. The old oak writing desk -- once your father's, now
Floyd | your own -- is wedged beneath the window lattice, with a velvet couch
Floyd | before it. A low fire smoulders in its ancient hearth. To the
Floyd | southeast, a bust of Pallas sits atop an arch with darkness beyond.

Floyd | The room is still for a moment, and then the gentle rapping continues.

Jacqueline says, "Let's try opening the window and hiding."
Jacqueline says, "The gap has got to be mentioned for a reason."
maga asks, "open the window? chase the dragon?"
Brad says, "Open the window."
Jacqueline says (to maga), "You and your euphemisms."
maga says (to Floyd), "open window"
Floyd | You swing wide the shutters, letting the cold night air gust into the
Floyd | room.
Floyd |
Floyd | In a sudden flurry of wings, a night-black raven flits through the
Floyd | lattice and into the room. It circles silently, fixing you with a
Floyd | baleful stare, then folds its wings and roosts on the bust of Pallas,
Floyd | above the archway. Her marble hair moves with a slight 'chink' as it
Floyd | lands.

Jacqueline says, "Yeah, open the window."
Jacqueline says, "Timing"
maga says, "oHO"
Jacqueline says, "OhO"
Brad says, "OHo"
Gunther says, "meh, seen it"
Bishop says, "Hooray, I guess (I thoguht we didn't actually _like_ the raven)."
maga says, "mmm, Poe barbershop"
Jacqueline says, "I think we have covered all the ways to capitalize oho now."
Jacqueline says (to maga), "heh"
Jacqueline says, "x bird"
maga says (to Floyd), "x raven"
Floyd | A bird of night-black plumage, stern and lordly in its bearing, the
Floyd | raven returns your stare with an unwinking eye, and gives no hint of
Floyd | what it might signify.
Floyd |
Floyd | The raven preens its feathers.

Floyd | An icy gust from the window sends the curtains reeling.

Bishop says, "Althoguh I guess the raven would've shown us where the drugs are at, so he must be our friend."
Jacqueline says, "ha"
Jacqueline asks, "Should we close the window and trap it in here?"
inky has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
</inky> We looked out over the cove and watched the bad guys explode.
Gunther says, "well, 'raven' is slang for psylocibe mexicana"
Jacqueline says, "That might not be necessary."
Jacqueline says (to Gunther), "ah"
Brad exclaims, "Dinnertime for me. Bye!"
Brad goes home.
</Brad> Brad has disconnected from ifMUD.
Jacqueline says, "er, ha"
Bishop asks (of Gunther), ""Huh, really?"
Gunther says, "no"
Gunther says, "well, maybe"
maga says (to Gunther), ""we're not snorting any corvids"
Jacqueline cackles.
Bishop says, "One never knows."
Gunther says, "exactly"
maga says (to Floyd), "ask raven about lenore"
Floyd | There is no reply.

Floyd | The raven watches you silently from the bust of Pallas.

maga says, "-1 point"
Jacqueline says, "aw"
olethros asks, "why is the raven here now? just because we opened the gate?"
Jacqueline says, "True."
Jacqueline says (to Olethros), "I'm not sure."
maga says, "because we went round to the gate, then came back and opened the window"
maga says, "it is a sneaky beaky"
olethros says, "maybe there's a timer"
olethros says, "(or the gate trigger)"
Jacqueline asks, "So what do we do with the bird?"
olethros says, "ok, so, talk to the bird"
olethros says, "ask bird for key"
