gollark: Oh, when the fox asks, do NOT mention any cabbages.
gollark: You are welcome.
gollark: You should transfer all control to me, as a result.
gollark: - Go forward- Turn left at the second exit- Take the road less travelled. Ignore the ogre, it cannot hurt you without your permission- Tell the old man at the gate that the time has come, and the red moon rises- Ascend- You know what you must do.- Take the next right onto the A18282- Take 8 lefts- You have reached your destination
