Jellyfish

What is poison? What is venom? What's the diff?

Is a jellyfish bad, or just dangerous? What's the difference? (Hint: the plausibility of a volitional counterfactual to "it stung me.")

Speaking of that, let's conjugate sting, shall we?

Oh no, THE KRAKEN has appeared and is about to eat the ship of the LOVEABLE ARCHDUKE, thus precipitating METAREGIONAL WAR 33 AND A HALF!

QUICK, you are the HERO OF ALL JELLYFISH, and the only way to stop the kraken is to MUSTER THE PEERS OF THE AMORPHOUS AND DIAPHANOUS TABLE!

We need 13 jellyfish tentacles to restrain the kraken while you, THE HERO OF ALL JELLYFISH, go and BONK HIM IN THE HEAD AND SAY 'BEGONE, SIR, I PRITHEE HEARTILY!'

Problem! The PEERS OF THE AMORPHOUS AND DIAPHANOUS TABLE are shall we say indisposed to heroic labors and are lazing about in various parts of the domicile!

GO THOU THEN and collect them! They lounge about on disposable plates, with their tentacles represented by pennies. Once the HERO OF ALL JELLYFISH has collected enough pennies (on peer-plates) to restrain the kraken (13, recall), the HERO shall count them up, then bonk kraken in the head and enunciate her polite yet heroic abjuration.

But there's a another problem! The kraken escapes when one of the PEERS #nopes out of there! How many tentacles are left? How many more do we need? Go find another peer (or two) with enough tentacles to make up the difference!

The LOVEABLE ARCHDUKE then invites you to tea aboard his ship, the 10,000 Leagues, where the itinerant archbishop STERNE dressed always in a funny hat, reads Genesis chapter 1 and recites Psalm 23.
