Oh The Horror!

At the mention of food, Princess Ice-Castle loses all interest in you. She walks into the fridge. So do as many of the other princesses as can fit inside, the rest crowding round just outside. Soon each princess, including Astra, is carrying a pile of food items to wherever they can find a space to sit down and eat their spoils. And "spoils" is an appropriate word. What is horrifying is not only the extremely fattening and unhealthy nature of almost all of the food, but that much of it is well beyond its "use by" date. Some of it even has traces of green mould, but none of that seems to bother any of the princesses. They also seem quite happy to tuck into uncooked pizzas, of which the fridge has a large supply.

It is clear that there is now enough food to feed all 43 (including Astra) naked princesses for months to come. You wonder how long it will take before Astra becomes as fat as the others. Giving up on the idea of marrying Princess Ice-Castle, you tell the three pizza delivery people - including the priest - that their services won't be required for the foreseeable future. "What about paying us for the pizzas we brought?" one asks.

"Sorry," you say, "but we don't have any money. How did Lots pay?"

"He had an account."

"So put it on his account." With any luck it will be a long time - if ever - before they discover that he is dead.

They look unhappy, but they leave. That's good, as Astra seems so intent on eating that you doubt whether she would be willing to break off to frighten them away.

1. Astra belatedly remembers that she is supposed to be rescuing the princesses.
2. You and Astra settle in with the princesses. Months pass. Astra seems to have an even more ravenous appetite than most of the others. She is rapidly catching them up in obesity, and now weighs 220 pounds.
3. The ghosts of the decapitated Fred and Lots appear.
4. A number of the princesses die of food poisoning.
