Part Three - "The Drunken Priest"
The Priest of Jupiter Virilis is a man on the bench. "The Priest of Jupiter Virilis, somewhat the worse for drink, sways on the bench." The description is "The priest's long white beard is stained with wine, and his eyes are vaguely defocussed. He has clearly had better days." The indefinite article of the priest is "the". The conversation of the priest is the Table of Priest's Chatter. The default reply of the priest is "'Shut up. I'm trying to drink here.'" Instead of kissing the priest, try sucking the priest. Instead of fucking the priest, try sucking the priest. Instead of blowing the priest, try sucking the priest. Instead of eating the priest, try sucking the priest. Instead of wanking off the priest, try sucking the priest. Instead of rubbing the priest, try sucking the priest. Instead of sucking the priest, say "Gerontophilia is no more the Stiffy Way than it will be in three thousand years." Instead of smelling the priest, say "The priest reeks of cheap wine and despair."
Instead of giving or showing the aureus to the priest:
say "'I don't need your pity,' slurs the priest."
Instead of giving or showing the bag to the priest:
say "The priest looks at the bag. 'Enh,' he says. 'It's not exactly alluring, now is it?'".
Instead of giving or showing the mask to the priest:
say "The priest looks at the mask, comprehension dawning on his sodden features. 'Yes!' he cries. 'This looks a lot like Syra! I think this will do!' He downs the rest of the wine, smashes the empty bottle on the floor, and dashes off, mask grasped in his hand.";
move the mask to Limbo;
move Julia to Limbo;
move the bottle of wine to Limbo;
move slutty_julia to the altar;
really have the parser notice the bench;
move the priest to Limbo.
Instead of giving or showing something to the priest:
say "The priest gazes blearily at [the noun] in some confusion.".
