input() is a function which returns a string. You can assign this return value to a variable. That's what variables are for.
option = input()
Now you can use the variable named option in place of all those calls to
input().
i.e:
...instead of..
if input() == 'parry':
# etc
...do this...
option = input()
if option == 'parry':
# etc
elif option == 'whatever':
# etc
