Deep Inside Grimace, Bow Chick-a Bow Bow (Lab)
Initial visit:
You walk through the door and into what appears to be some kind of laboratory. I mean, the salmon-pink walls and the nude statues holding loudspeakers are somewhat out of place, sure. But there are plenty of dials, levers, and switches around, and the lady elf twisting valves certainly has that mad scientist air around her.
”THROW OPEN THE SWITCHES ON THE SONIC OSCILLATOR!” she says, in a surprisingly deep voice for someone with that much makeup on.
”The what, now?” you say.
”Oh, sorry,” she says. “I thought you were my faithful handyman. You must be here for the E.M.U. harness.” She holds up an imposing tangle of straps and buckles.
”If it’s all the same to you, I really don’t go in for that kind of stuff,” you reply, edging backward.
”Wait! let me explain,” the elf replies. “I’m part of the trans-lunar team working to repair the shield generator by building an Elf Maneuvering Unit. If you could take this to the assembly team, I can finish the final trajectory calculations.”
You take the harness and look around the featureless room. “Uh, how do I get out of here?”
”Oh, just take that transport circle on the wall, there. Unless you’d like to stay for the floor show . . .”

“Uh, no thanks,” you say. You step through the transport circle. You feel briefly as if, deep down inside, you’re bleeding, but it soon stops, and you’re standing on Grimace’s surface again.
Fun fact: your lower intestine is now .1 microns smaller in diameter. Science is freaky.

Subsequent visits:
You come up to the lab, but see that all the science equipment is gone. Instead of experiments, there's a group of male and female elves, all wearing lingerie and doing a dance number. As the floor opens and reveals a swimming pool, you figure you'd better get out of there before your mind (among other things) gets a little too expanded for your liking.
