GET PENGUIN
You pick up the penguin. It is cold and frosty.
Gillian Anderson's head enters from the south. 

(Ol' Dog continues):
Gillian Anderson's head is wearing an orange hat with a green hat
band, trimmed with maroon and purple chicken feathers.

Your torch goes out. It is very dark here; you may be eaten by a grue.

SPLIM GRUE

Your Splimming Ring is missing; the grue advances...

(Rob~ continues):
EAT GRUE

You do not have a grue.

TAKE GRUE

You embrace the grue and, tilting it backwards slightly, kiss it
passionately. The grue pulls you closer as it eases itself to the
ground...

I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE THAT

Oh, sorry... You pick up the grue.
You now have:
  1 penguin (cold and frosty)
  1 grue (slightly aroused and confused)
  1 package Cookie Monster brand cookies
  Elvis
  1 Splimming Ring (missing)

LOOK AT ELVIS

You see nothing interesting about The King.
It is very dark here. You may be eaten by a grue.

I HAVE THE GRUE

Oh, yeah. Um, It is very dark here, you may eat the grue.

EAT GRUE

Um, which way do you mean that?

LITERALLY

Alright, then. You attempt to eat the grue, only to find that Elvis has
already eaten the grue, as well as the Cookie Monster brand cookies.
You're starting to have suspicions about what happened to the Splimming
Ring.

(Corsac continues):
EAT ELVIS

Elvis is too big to eat. Elvis is attempting to eat the penguin.

TAKE PENGUIN

You and Elvis are wrestling over the penguin. Elvis weighs more than
you do; he is winning.

HIT ELVIS

No effect. Elvis has eaten the penguin.

RUN AWAY

You are faster than Elvis. You soon leave him behind.
It is very dark here. You may be eaten by Gillian Anderson.

(Danoot continues):
FEEL TEMPTED

You have already done this.

SMACK SELF

NOT LIKE THAT!

You hit yourself in the head.

It is very dark here. You have a headache. Gillian Anderson's head
enters from the west. It is followed by Elvis.

(Rob~ continues):
FEED GILLIAN ANDERSON'S HEAD TO ELVIS

You do not have that.

TAKE GILLIAN ANDERSON'S HEAD

Literally or figuratively?

FIGURATIVELY

But, she's just a head...

TAKE GILLIAN ANDERSON'S HEAD

Pervert.

TAKE GILLIAN ANDERSON'S HEAD

No.

BEAT DUNGEON-MASTER SENSELESS

Your hostility will not help your situation.

Elvis approaches with a hungry look in his eyes.

FEED GILLIAN ANDERSON'S HEAD TO ELVIS

You never took her in the literal sense.

ARRGH!

Your cry frightens Elvis. He waddles off with Gillian Anderson's head.

A weble enters from the north.
