Suddenly the door opened again,
and an anthropomorph two-legged weasel
wearing a jester's costume entered the room and looked around. "Ah, there it is," it said and walked over to the (apparently bilingual) pop/soda machine. It stood there concentrating for a moment and then it made a popping sound. *POP* There was a rumble, a rattle and a clank, and a brightly coloured drink canister... well, popped out. The weasel grabbed the container, opened it and proceeded to swig the contents as it headed for the door. "Aha!" said Fred. He walked over to the machine, struck a dramatic pose and did his best to mimic the sound the weasel had made. *POP* Nothing happened. Well, the weasel giggled, but the machine didn't react. "Not gonna work that way," the weasel pointed out. "You're not a weasel!" "Do I have to be a weasel to get a drink then?" "Only to do it my way." Fred pondered. "Perhaps you could get a drink for me? I'll pay you." "Sorry mate, just used up my quota. But tell you what, I happen to have a weasel costume in my lair. You could try that. Machines are pretty stupid." "Not if you reveal your plot right in front of them," the drink dispenser remarked drily. Quite a feat for something full of liquid, if you think about it. "Memory erase!" the weasel snapped. The machine buzzed and went quiet. "Anyway," the weasel continued, "you could also try aggravating the wiz here. He'll sometimes turn people into weasels when he gets mad at them." Now Fred didn't really want to be turned into a weasel, but he was getting very thirsty...
