Zork is a text adventure where you enter text commands and then the game responds in text - to describe the surroundings, highlight items or places of interest, etc. Like, the game says “You are in a forest,” and you type “go south,” and the game updates to tell you what’s in your new location. It’s like the AI text adventures you see now (which are based on Zork-style games), but with every command and response hand-coded.
The Grues are monsters that eat you in Zork. “You were eaten by a grue” is a common bad ending.
Yeah. Everyone I knew always called them floppies whether they were 8" (mostly before my time), 5¼" or 3.5". Op was probably just adding for humor or something.
Some people assumed that “floppy disk” referred to the disk’s protective jacket, which was neither a disk nor (in the case of these smaller ones) floppy.
It’s possible that OP understands that the disk inside is floppy, and is just making a joke.

Oh a floppy you are the hero so. Thanks for the explanation.
Edit : but why a non floppy ?

I always called the 3.5 a “diskette” (or an “A drive” which was incorrect but everyone knew what you meant).
The 5.25 inch floppy disk were actually very bendy (floppy), while the 3.5 inch one was rigid, so I guess that’s why OP named it that?

I worked at a university computer lab in the late 90s, and soooo many people referred to the 3.5"ers as “hard disks.”
That one hurt! I don’t know if it is because it was so wrong, or if it is because it was kind of logical.
