What's this? An update?

>Do the opposite of the next command.

Yes, that sounds pointless. Since you have no idea what the next command will be, it's pointless to decide to do the opposite.

>Follow the previous command.

*whistles*

Okay, then you won't follow the previous command! Which means you aren't doing the opposite of this command. So you follow it, and follow the previous command, which means you're doing the opposite of this one and not following the previous command, which means...



The Lesser Paradox Beast is back. It seems annoyed.

>Do a square dance through the door

You could easily do this, since the Lesser Paradox Beast is only blocking one side of the door.



So that means it's pointless to try to go through the side the Paradox Beast is on!



Your attempt aggravates the Lesser Paradox Beast.



It attacks!

>Sit still. Forever.

Yes, it's very pointless to do absolutely nothing. Especially in an ice palace, where you'll probably eventually freeze to death. And even more so while you're in the middle of a battle.



The Lesser Paradox Beast asks you to pay a fine once again.



Whatever does a square-dance, because that's a random thing to do.

This is how a secret door opens in which the Inflatable Amulet is.

Whatever will grab it and give it to you even though he wanted to use it himself because he thought it would be 'random' to act pointless for once.

Suddenly, your mind constructs a scenario in which sitting still is not pointless.



Of course, you have absolutely no reason to believe that this scenario is actually going to happen.



Which means you *do* believe it. You'll have to think of another way to stop yourself from getting the Inflatable Amulet of Pomposity!



The Lesser Paradox Beast is getting rather insistent that you pay that fine.



Whatever continues to act randomly.
