> Talk to Grue You greet the Grue in a polite and respectful manner. "Hello there, Grue. Please do not eat me, I would like to be your friend." The Grue looks at you thoughtfully, a small bit of drool dripping off its sharp fangs. "Umm..." you say nervously, backing away a step, "good Grue... good Grue... " This last sentence was a mistake, for the simple reason that a good Grue eats everything living in sight. What you wanted was a bad Grue, that thinks it's supposed to sing campfire songs. The Grue rips you into 69,105 pieces, sending blood and chunks of flesh flying everywhere. It growls a little, then eats the pieces. Except for your left pinky toe. A mouse ran away with that when the Grue was busy gnawing on the remains of your head. It is safe to assume that... Hold on.....as you encounter your death, your spirit floats out of your body and suddenly collapses, and as you fall helplessly to the ground, still in your ghostly state, you sparkle and glitter, and as you hit the ground (not that you feel it, for you're a ghost), your body starts to shimmer in all sorts of colours. Confusion reigns over you and asks you what is happening. Suddenly, your body starts disappearing, and in the confusion, you black out just as your head disappears. Sometime later, you open your eyes and find you're back in the nondescript room! Your spirit is back in your body, which remarkably has no scratches or marks from your previous encounter! Phew, you've survived another one of those untimely deaths! You give thanks to the narrator, your god, for keeping you alive and praise him for letting you restart without dying! Oh, to make sure it's the nondescript room, you'll have to look to see if the Grue's here. > look Oh, never mind, you got eaten by the Grue anyway.
