You glance down to see a mottled green mechanical grasshopper in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

Heavily scripted:

*************************
a mottled green mechanical grasshopper
Look description: A marvel of gnomish craftsmanship, this grasshopper is wound by means of a shiny metal key. Lacy wings lie flat against the sleek, tapered body and fitted joints articulate the powerful hind legs. Brightly faceted eyes stare out from the swivelling head. It looks to be in pristine condition.

The following may be zests:
rub: You pet the tiny head and segmented feelers of your mechanical grasshopper.
tilt: You flick the top of your mechanical grasshopper, and it flies up into an impressive backflip. The grasshopper waves its front legs about as it spins in the air, finally landing right-side-up on your palm.
tap: You give the top of your mechanical grasshopper a quick tap and it leaps up into the air, clearing several inches before it falls back onto your palm.
pinch: You pinch the back of the mechanical grasshopper's thorax, causing it to spit out a stream of brown juice!
push: You push down on the mechanical grasshopper, forcing its belly to scrape your palm and slowing it to a tentative creep.
press: You push down on the mechanical grasshopper, forcing its belly to scrape your palm and slowing it to a tentative creep.
pull: You tug on one of the mechanical grasshopper's front legs, and it crawls carefully up your arm to your shoulder. Upon reaching that altitude, it launches into the air and lands right in the middle of your outstretched palm.
turn: You turn the small key on the side of your mechanical grasshopper, tightening the springs inside.
tickle: You flip a small toggle on the belly of your mechanical grasshopper. It crouches low, unfolding its lacy wings. Suddenly, the grasshopper springs into the air! Flying about with a metallic hum the grasshopper circles your head twice then glides down to a perfect landing on your palm.
nudge: You give the mechanical grasshopper a little nudge, and it hops along your palm! It reaches the tips of your fingers, teeters for a moment, then leaps back.
spin: The mechanical grasshopper ambles to the edge of your palm. You turn your hand slowly, allowing it to travel across your knuckles, then back around to the front.
lick: The mechanical grasshopper gives your lips a sharp bite!
rest: After nestling in a corner of your palm, your mechanical grasshopper sets to work cleaning its forelegs meticulously.
wave: The mechanical grasshopper stands on its powerful hind legs, lifting its forefeet into the air. It waves them around as though testing the breeze, then lowers them back to your hand.
