Multiple letters required for input - python-3.x

Question

input("If you wish to play Twin Clocks(Temporary Name)Beta, please enter start. "
"Developers note: This is total I would say took about 9 hours. Please play through this multiple times if you would like to see everything the game has to offer. This short python-based game is made by Zombiex100 ")

print("You have decided today would be a good day to actually do something with your old best friend, who happens to be your twin, rather than play python-based text adventure games. Where do you choose to hang out?")

input("Type ic once for two lines to go for some ice cream")
input("Type r once for six line if you want to go on long walks on the beach")
input("Type p once for six line if you want to visit the park")
#Was stuck on these first lines of code for at least four hours in total. What mostly got me was having the program react to the user typing in "start"
#I am also trying to figure out the problem why you have to write certain letter (ic,r, etc.) in order for the text to pop up
if "m" == input():
print("You remember seeing a interesting movie by the name of Antler Hooves on a ad on TV. It fits you and your twin perfectly since you're very silly.")

print("You cross the street to get to the ice cream parlor, but before you could finish crossing, a car comes by. You exclaim that he was insane and that you are saddened by the face you didn't catch his license plate. You then look down adn see your twins corpse.")
print("Terror and hatred fills your bones as people rush out of there cars coming to you and calling 911. You feel empty inside, and then feel a surge of energy go through your body.")
#Each time a run is finished, the game is supposed to loop and give you different options. I have decided to do that later on and finish all point now.
if "ic" == input():
print("You remember that one ice cream parlor named Mr.Froze you went with your twin when you were in elementary school. You decide it would be nice to go back there with your twin, maybe even revive your friendship, considering that she has many things common with you, I mean, she IS your twin after all.")

print("Your conversation is cut short when a man in a mask walks in. You start whispering to Ellie until the man pulls out a gun and point it at Ellie")
print("Terror and fear engulfs your emotions as you hear him yelling for the money, but you can't help but laugh at him robbing a ice cream parlor. The man telling you to shut the fuck up or she gets a bullet. You quickly quiet down. As it turns out the cashier has major anxiety and is unable to get the money to give over. The man proceeds to shoot Ellie in the head.")
print("Terror and hatred fills your bones as you look at her dead corpse and the man points the gun at you. Before he manges to put a bullet directly through your brain, you feel a surge of energy go through your body")

print("You see her come in and you tell her you've already paid. You sit down and catch up on things, ask how studying is. She says that she wants to study abroad in Norway. She then says she was actually thinking of coming over this Christmas, and decides it was worth giving you your present early. You look shocked at the beautifully drawn picture of you.")
print("While you look at the drawing, a strange man with a hokey mask walks in the door. You start whispering to Ellie about him until,")
print("He pulls out a small pistol on the cashier. The cashier panics and throws something at him, you couldn't quite see it as you were also panicking, but it seems the man pulled the trigger a second after getting hit, landing the bullet into your twins brain.")
print("Terror and hatred fills your bones as you look at her dead corpse. You were about to grab your chair and beat the man on the ground to death, but before you could, you feet a surge of energy go through your body.")
if "vc" == input():
print("You decide on the most glorious, intelligent choice of them all; a twist cone.You wait for your sister to come so she may buy her ice cream and sit down.")

print("The strange man comes behind Ellie, but you think nothing of it.")
print("The man then gets Ellie in a choking position, demanding money from the cashier. You panic and run into the man, causing him to pull the trigger")
print("Terror and hatred fills your bones as you look at her dead corpse. The man gets back up and point the gun at you with the trigger ready to be pulled, but before he can you feel what can be best described as a surge of a energy going through your body.")

if "p" == input():
print("You call up your sister and tell her about all these internet people telling you to go outside and get a life. You tell her about remembering being best friend and you now want to meet up at the park, because if you remembered correctly, your twin had a dog. She responds she has a corgi, and that she's glad you contacted her after a year. She will meet you at the park, and you get ready to go outside")
print("You arrive at the park a little overly prepared. You have drinks, snacks, your 3ND, PPD, and even a tent! Your sister arrives and starts laughing immediately when she sees you and your humongous book bag, as you start to rethink this real life thing.")
print("You play with her dog while catching up, even hearing that her boyfriend was suspicious of me until she told him that you were her twin. She tells you how he would like to meet you. You aren't too sure, but say you would think about it.")
print(" While you were talking, your twins corgi manged to escape and run across the street. You and her panicking a little, she runs across the street to get to him.")
print(" But she doesn't make it to the other side. She gets hit by an oncoming car as you watch her corgi running away. Hatred and terror fills your bones as you look at her dead corpse. You start running for the driver who seems pretty scared and is calling 911, but before you could, you feel energy going through your body")
If you read through, you can see that I have said for some letter you must type them multiple times for the prompt to appear. Is there any way to make them all so that you must only put the letter in once?

Answer 1

Each time you have the input() in your if, it calls it again (which is why the player has to enter it six times, because the blocks that handle 'r' and 'p' are near the bottom). Instead, store the result of input() to a variable,
inR = input
and then check to see if it matches:
if inR == "a":
#some code here
elif inR == "ic":
#some other code here
