At the Party

What is the point of the party scene?

  1. There's an item at the party that you have to get back to the Heart of Gold.
  2. That item is the unsightly piece of jacket fluff.
  3. Read all the previous questions in this section of the hint booklet.
  4. You want to get "picked up" by Phil. However, he won't take any notice of you until you take the fluff and get Arthur talking to you.
  5. In order to take the fluff, though, you'll have to drop something. This will cause the hostess to start hovering around you. Phil is much too smart to approach you when you're with the hostess.
  6. So, to get Phil to come over, you'll have to take the item that the hostess keeps offering you. To do so, you'll have to drop something, and the piece of fluff is the only thing you have that you can drop without setting off the hostess again.
  7. There _is_ a way to stop holding the fluff _without_ dropping it.
  8. Look at what you're carrying again.
