I am not.

Just cuz I wanna drop more clues.

Dressed in white
Hair as blond as the sun
She's quite the sight
I never had one like that when I was young.

Do you have a frog in your throat?
See if maybe you can get a note?
I am not in King's Quest 1, and there's no moat
And definitely no goat.

Are you the nurse in The Adventures of Willy Beamish?

The nurse is blond and dressed in white. She is, ahem, attractive ("never had one like that..."). And there's a frog in the game.

Why, yes I am!

The frog is indeed a reference to the frog...
And frog in the throat, a hint about being unwell (to see a doctor/nurse)...
And the note is one of the items Willie can get in class (for a hallpass).

And here are my *ahem* "hints" ...

I go to work for one day
and find that while I was away
the game was solved (hooray!)
and I had rather lost my way.

But I wasn't in time
I will make this silly rhyme
and hope (although I'm not a mime)
that I will have a chance next time.

(Wait, wait, wait ... rhyming 'time' with 'time'? Not good enough! Must do better).

Cool. I will post something soon.

Great start to the day
I come before Beethoven
All the signs were there

So I am assuming the second clue references Mozart.

Which makes me think of music. And all the signs are there, are possibly the clues scattered in the museum.

Not sure about the great start to the day.

But going to take a stab - are you in GK2?

Not necessarily. There were heaps of other composers before Beethoven: Handel, Haydn, Bach (and his sons), Byrd, Palestrina, and so on.

If you're thinking of Wagner, don't bother. Beethoven's heyday was early 1800s; Wagner's was 1870s and 1880s. (Sorry!)

I'll start with the usual question: are you in a game that contains the word "Quest"?

Yes, but Mozart, was apparently an inspiration to Beethoven. So the line of coming before, might be a reference to this...

Specifically, "The Beast Within" draws a parallel to Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute," which also features themes of intrigue, danger, and a magical flute with a significant role.

Had nothing to do with that, and more above the above about the Magic Flute.

Fair enough. I'm only wondering who wrote this link between "The Beast Within" and "The Magic Flute" (it sounds intriguing!), and where do we find a magical flute in GK2. (Note that this sentence says: "...which also features ... a magical flute with a significant role.")

I'm thinking of the word "also". I can't remember any flutes in GK2.

Yes

My question got a "yes" answer? *faints*

Are you in a game that takes place on Earth? (i.e. not KQ, SQ or QfG)

Are you in an odd numbered game (1, 3, 5, 7, etc)

Yes

Just going to make sure -

Are you in Police Quest?

(Because could still be EcoQuest, BeQuest, ConQuest or something...)
