>x me
You are Yves (or Eve) O. Sorry, I forgot to ask. You can choose if you want, or you can leave it undefined. You haven't worried much about appearances, recently.

>i
[NOTE: X on its own may be more useful for the items you have, since it views the list you need for Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens.]

  Last Least Fast Feast

>x last
Last Least Fast Feast is a vague description of the stuff you need for the end-of-year memorial feast. Perhaps they wanted to allow you artistic license, or perhaps they (or I) realized it'd not be a really fulfilling quest if they were specific. Or perhaps there's some weird obscure reason the feast tastes better or is more spiritually nourishing if it's prepared ad-hoc.

( - ) small drinking container(s)
( - ) large drink holder
( - ) cake, of course
( - ) an appetizer, sort of
( - ) greens
( - ) protein panorama
( - ) vast veggies
( - ) powdered drink mix
( - ) prevents sticking
( - ) liquid seasoning
( - ) tasty pastry
(0/4) silverware and such

You'll probably need to cook up some ingredients, but you don't have the right appliance(s), yet.

>l
Reeve Row
You remember buying this from the old owner, Steve Stowe. He knew you were the right person to continue living here. But it feels empty now. You know you should go OUT sooner rather than later, but you don't feel confident enough. Boosting yourself with the right phrase might help.

A rayed rug covers part of the floor here. It's oddly bumpy.

>x rug
You aren't big on decor, but Steve Stowe insisted you keep this rug. It would be useful, he said.

There are a lot of bright rays on the rug. It's bumpy, but you're scared to look under it without knowing or figuring what the bump might be.

>about
Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens is entry 8 of Prime Pro-Rhyme Row. It was written for ParserComp 2024.

In such a long series, there's the possibility the concept may get stale. Puzzles overlap. I recognize a word I rhymed before, and I fail to recognize another. But then I also see, oh, this rhyme chain works well. It might be worth writing.

There is a ceiling to all this, though, and a temptation to think, why bother? I said I wouldn't write another game without a specific theme, and, well, when I heard "beef and beans" I said, no, no way, I couldn't extend it to a whole feast, could I?

I worry I'm stopping too late instead of too soon. But I am pleased with what I have, and I hope you are, too. There was an opportunity for a weird little story. So I hope it flies for you.

The other Prime Pro-Rhyme Row entries are Very Vile Fairy File, Quite Queer Night Near, Low-Key Learny Jokey Journey, Civil Seeming Drivel Dreaming, There Those Dare Doze, Bright Brave Knight Knave and Taller Tech Mauler Mech. I hope you make time to play them if you haven't, though if you're playing this during ParserComp, do look at all the other entries there first.

>help
You need to find a way out. (+)

>x learner
It says LEET LEARNER/CHEAT CHURNER. It has two main settings: HUT! CAN! (on) and SHUT SCAN (off). It's currently on. LL/CC ON/OFF can turn it on or off.

Also, to use it, LL (something). LL with no argument scans the current location.

You can READ it for more detailed information, or HINT LL to see its mechanics.

>read it
The leet learner has three settings: HA HALF (on) and NAH NAFF (off) toggle noting when you are half right. It's currently on. TWO TOO (on) and DO DUE (off) toggle homonym detection, which is currently on.

One slider setting has a range of values: GO GUESS to LO LESS to MO MESS to the most information-giving entry, YO YES. It's currently set to LO LESS, which means you'll only get information on how many things you need to sort out with the current double-rhyme.

You can HINT LL to see what they all mean.

>hint ll
The leet learner and its parts only give hints. You can LL alone to scan a room, LL any thing or person, or READ the leet learner to see its options.

Continuing to HINT LL will spell out the details of how it works and what the number means.

>ll
You scan the area. This will suffice most of the time, though you may wish to LL a thing that doesn't jibe with the area's rhymes.

You notice four dots in the corner of the leet learner.

The leet learner's display lights up and scrolls through LCD numbers which settle on the pair (0.75, 0.25.)

Reeve Row
You remember buying this from the old owner, Steve Stowe. He knew you were the right person to continue living here. But it feels empty now. You know you should go OUT sooner rather than later, but you don't feel confident enough. Boosting yourself with the right phrase might help.

A rayed rug covers part of the floor here. It's oddly bumpy.

>steve stowe
Your rhyming attempts bring up nothing. Or, if you tried a standard verb--well, Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens has eliminated a lot of them, so you can focus on the puzzle verbs. VERBS will give a list of useful, non-puzzle-solving verbs.

>verbs
Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens doesn't have many custom verbs that are used regularly. In fact, many standard verbs such as PUSH and PULL are disabled, and CLIMB or ATTACK, for instance, have minimal implementation. You shouldn't even need TAKE. This is to help you focus on certain phrases you need to guess to advance.

The four cardinal directions and UP are used, as well as X or EXAMINE. READ may provide different output. Use I to take inventory as well.

T lets you talk to people or entities.

Useful meta-verbs: OPTS gives game options, and META gives general information commands.

>meta
CREDITS lists people who helped, and ABOUT gives general information about Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens.

VERSION shows you release dates of each version, and EXT shows extension and internal Inform compiler information.

THINK notes, among other things, where and when you guessed a useful command but weren't prepared yet.

SOUNDS tells you the complete list of English sounds. OTHER tells you other games similar to Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens.

>credits
Thanks to Adam Sommerfield for holding the first ParserComp and fos1 for keeping it going this year, and Christopher Merriner for helping previously.

Thanks to Onno Brouwer for testing.

Thanks to people who tested previous entries in the series. They helped iron out some core bugs that made code reusable. Often they alerted me to stuff that couldn't be wrong
Thanks to you for playing this.

>eve go
Yes. You are Eve. You haven't felt yourself lately.

>yves go
Your rhyming attempts bring up nothing. Or, if you tried a standard verb--well, Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens has eliminated a lot of them, so you can focus on the puzzle verbs. VERBS will give a list of useful, non-puzzle-solving verbs.

>x me
You are Eve O. You haven't worried much about appearances, recently.

>sounds
The basic sounds in the English language are:

one letter: b k d f g h j l m n p r s t v w x z (c q and x map to others.)
two letters: ur ar or bl br cl cr dr fl fr gl gr pl pr sk sl sp st sw spr str tr.
rarer two letters: ch so th (thing or this) wh ng nk oi ow oo (took) aw zh (vision.)

>heave go
The HA HALF button on your Leet Learner lights up yellow--one of the words must work for a future solution.

[ONE-TIME NOTE: typing NAH NAFF will cause the Leet Learner not to show when you have gotten one word right. It will make Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens more difficult. I wanted to make this feature opt-out so the player did not miss it.]

>heave ho
You try to pull the rayed rug, but it feels nailed down in enough places you can only look under a bit. You can't move it by yourself. You need a stronger assistant!

NOTE: this command will be useful later, but you aren't ready to use it, yet. You can track commands like this by typing THINK, which will also clue you if they now work.

>think
You think about more specific challenges you've encountered and not solved, and what you've done and tried, and what you can do.

You can HEAVE HO once you have a strong assistant here who can help you pull the rug up.

[NOTE: Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens should indicate whenever you find the right rhyme but can't execute it yet. An asterisk or (+) will also appear in the score in the upper right once a good guess can work. Until then, you can THINK to see things you figured but aren't quite ready to do yet.

>leave low
You're already feeling a bit low. You don't need to advertise it, or sink lower.

That has to be really, really close, though! Perhaps a potentially hearty interjection would work better.

How to leave with your head held high, with a forceful word showing you're willing to take on the world?

The Leet Learner vibrates back and forth rather violently. You must have been very close.

[ONE-TIME NOTE: typing DO DUE will switch the homonym-detection option off on your Leet Learner. It will make Beef, Beans, Grief, Greens more difficult. I wanted to make this feature opt-out so the player did not miss it.]

>leave lo
Sometimes you just need the right time to say a simple phrase to get you going. And you do, here.

Wandering ... Where?
You have no clue where to wander yet, but you can go back INSIDE to your temporary home in Reeve Row.

[Your score just went up by one point.]

You note the Leet Learner lights up briefly, and then a dot winks out. Scanning what you solved may give something different, now, and you suspect this will be the case every time you figure something out.

>in

To be told if you have one word of a good non-point-scoring good guess, YO YES. These all also incorporate the LO LESS option, where the leet learner tells you how many rhymes are left to solve. NO NESS turns everything.]
>go guess
The PRO PRESS option is now set to GO GUESS, which means you'll see how many available good guesses are left in the double-rhyme set.

As you trudge back, a weird voice tells you you're looking bummed, and you don't need to. Behind you see big smiling mouths with small bodies, hands and feet.

Joy Jaws!

They are going to make you feel happy whether or not you want to, and they are going to make sure you're really happy and not just fake smiling, because nothing's worse than a fibber.

They have fun and games planned for you! They take you to a place called the Toy Toss, which seems a little off because, well... you get the sense they're not going to listen.

You're quite bad at the toy toss. But they make you play until you win, which is rather more torture than your failures at a few ring games as a kid.

After an hour, win you do, but now ... you must decide on a prize! You're set to decline and trudge back, but the jaws (and the host) aren't going to let you off the hook that easily. It'd make them feel like failures!

You are getting a gift, and that's that. Just, well, the right one.

Toy Toss
Okay, so the joy jaws brought you to a place where apparently you're supposed to be happy. And they're guarding passage out, until you ask for the right gift that will MAKE you happy.

With the right commands and pacing, you and the lovin' lout move the oven from its former position. The lout, very unloutishly indeed, asks if you need the oven to move anywhere. You defer all "Oh, it'd be too much!" but after some nonsense back-and-forthing, you both realize that's wasted energy. You both move the oven back to Reeve Row pretty quickly. The oven is -- well, you sense it isn't ready to cook anything, but it's a lot easier to repair here.

The lovin' lout waits around, as if they suspect they could help you with one more thing. Very considerate indeed, for a lout!

You shake hands with the lovin' lout, who exits and nods to wish you the best.

Your kneeling on the floor to pull the rug up gave you a good view inside the oven. There you find something called a goon guide. But you can't use it, because you're too good to be a goon. That's how it works, right? Or maybe not...

After some thought, you consider a good way forward: PENNY PILES...
Reading Any Isles, Many Miles carefully, you recognize that it, in fact, covers an isle not far from here (there were so many isles in the book, one was bound to be close,) rumored to hold particularly small-scale wealth. You excuse yourself to go look for it. Bri-Bro doesn't want to let you go at first, because he isn't here to provide a rest area for loiterers.

But you offer some of your considerable inventory as collateral. It was getting kind of heavy, so the break is nice.

You come back having found the penny piles. Now you just need to figure what to buy with it. Bri-Bro isn't going to keep such cheap stuff on the menu.

Bri-Bro gives you your inventory back but does snatch Any Isles, Many Miles away, just because he notices you ARE carrying a lot, and it'd be a shame to drop any of that lovely food. Oh, and there might be an island he can loot once he's finished the day's work. You wouldn't deny him his fun, would you?

A fellow whose nametag reads BRI-BRO stands here, waiting for what you need to ask for.

A brochure called Any Isles, Many Miles lies here. It's written by a group of authors including Jenny Giles, Kenny Kyles, Rennie Riles, Benny Biles, and Lenny Lyles.

That may sound excessive, but I assure you there were MANY miles between the isles, so it was not practical for one author to explore them all!

Bri-Bro whispers to you, "So many people demand the house special. I give them something frou-frou, but it's not really what I enjoy cooking. Now I'll have to pretend to kick you out."

>neat note
It seems silly to expect someone to just up and drop by with a neat note. But surprisingly, the bleat bloat dies out, and someone singularly unimpressive-looking walks in, slowly and without confidence.
"Uh, hi. People call me the downed dork. I guess I deserve it, for not getting back up off the ground after being called a silly name. Anyway, I find weird stuff, nothing important--just, stuff more with-it people have no use for. Thanks for getting rid of the staller stare. Let me know if I can do anything for you."

You find this part touching, because, well, you've been called a dork too. Even after being given this mission. You assure the downed dork that they might just be the person you need tosee.
Ah! Much better! With a neat note to distract you, the bleat bloat seems less ubiquitous. After you read the note for a few minutes, the bleat bloat departs, feeling unloved and unnoticed.

The downed dork mumbles something about not wanting to leave you this quick, but also not hanging around if they're not wanted. You're in no rush, and you wonder what other secrets Squalor Square holds.

Amped Ox drops by again, leading you and the downed dork to a new area of the Damped Docks, where you are given a good-sized beet boat. He doesn't particularly like beets, and neither do his coworkers, but why let it go to waste?

The downed dork looks around. "Anything else?"

Squalor Square seems pretty empty. You thank them heartily. They say, well, it was nothing, really, and they are sure more with-it people could've found things quicker.

It's tough. You've never done this before, but you sit the downed dork down and explain that, well, if they are good at something, they are good at something, and perhaps there is a reason they are good at something. Perhaps caring about things others find dorky is worthwhile. You've been there. You don't want to be all "don't let it bother you" or "cool is a state of mind" but you can't deny the dork's profound help in, well, finding weird stuff you could not have on your own. You apologize if you were too didactic before suggesting they resolve to show a bit of confidence beyond "turn that frown upside down." The dork agrees and thanks you.

There is one last thing. You need to put the neat note where the next person who needs to navigate the area can find it. The downed dork has a surprisingly good suggestion

Hmph. That still doesn't quite work! You'll figure out the how and when and where, though.

Ooh, Ooh...!
A passive pit surrounds you on all sides. It's not pulling you in, but the fall would still be lethal.

Zuzu and Loulou stand here, tired of the old repetitive actions, looking for new repetitive sounding ones.

You can really only go back SOUTH to Wandering ... Where?.

Wandering ... Where?
You can go NORTH to Ooh, Ooh...!, SOUTH to (Zap!) Zoo, EAST to Squalor Square and WEST to Dove 'N Doubt. You can also go back INSIDE to your temporary home in Reeve Row. You've really been around, now, and perhaps you can discover one more way, even though you suspect you don't need it for the full feast. It might add more variety, though.

Squalor Square
Definitely one of the seedier places you've been in.

Some light lyres lie here, but you pulled what you needed from them.

You can really only go back WEST to Wandering ... Where?.

>s
Oh no. You don't want to go deeper into this mess.

Dove 'N Doubt
This is obviously a front for illegal activity. Nobody would actually pay money to visit this establishment. I mean, the only worse name could be the Guv 'n Gout.

(Zap!) Zoo
The lotus life still adds color, even though you noticed that knife.

Vented vials lie cluttered here.

A tree troop sits around, waiting for you to ask for just the right thing. But you get the sense you could even gesture somehow.
