SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

Looking at the kissy-kissy face that Cletus is making, you realize that yes, you are a bit sensitive about your lips. And Cletus... well, you decide that Cletus should be sensitive about your lips too. You pounce on Cletus. He flails wildly about as you punch him in the hump. He struggles to try and grab you, but in doing so, he puts his hump off balance. The two of you go tumbling down the rest of the stairs.

On the way down, Cletus tries to bite you. He clamps down on your forearm, but you wind up yanking the false teeth right out of his head when you yank your arm away. He starts screaming about his missing "teef" as you continue your roll down the stairs.

Nice place you've got here! If you don't mind my asking, how much do you pay for rent?

You finally come to the bottom of the stairwell, with a long, bare hallway in front of you. You push Cletus off and stand up, grousing about your aching arm. Looking down, you see that Cletus' teeth are still firmly attached. You yank the teeth off and turn to Cletus. He's on his feet and hopping mad about you taking his dentures. You tell him that if he wants his teeth back, he'll have to show you around this secret basement. If you're going to inherit this house, you might as well learn all you can about it.

Cletus shows you down the hallway, all the while mumbling some sort of oddly-rehearsed tour guide speech. The hallway leads on for a considerable distance, but Cletus points to a door on your left and says that you'll need to go through it, as the straight ahead merely leads to the janitor's office. You can only assume the janitor is slowly working his way down the hall, because the walls around you are filthy.

Through the door is a large room with cages lining the walls. It's too dark for you to see the contents of the cages, but you do here a lot of strange growls and wails. And one hiccup. As you look to the cages, Cletus starts to walk a little faster. He's put some distance between the two of you, and now, he's standing next to a medicine cabinet. From the cabinet, he grabs a pair of emergency dentures and crams them in his mouth. Clacking his teeth a couple times, he turns to you:

"Alright, Pontoon Lips, you think it's funny to steal a guy's teeth? Well who's laughing now?"

Cletus runs over to a large, upright, metallic tube sitting in the corner. He gives the tube two firm knocks, and the tube splits open. Cletus begins to laugh maniacally as out from the tube walks a horrific sight:

I HAVE PRETTY SIDEBURNS! SIIIIIIIDEBUUUUUURNS!

The bizarre-looking man is giving you quite a look. And now he's advancing on you! You'd better think fast!

You:

If I sleep in the nude, why am I wearing the same clothes I "rolled out of bed with in the morning"?

"Doctor says he's got the diabetes, says that makes him hyperglycemic. Know what that is? Means he's got to get a lot of sugar in him all the time, or he'll get all listless and moody!"
One of the best Destiny Books so far.

Of course there's also the issue of why I have toiletries when I didn't pack.

I'm still loving this. It doesn't need to make sense.

Two words: birthday suit.

Wait a second, when you go back to your room after killing that monster, is that ghost from the "A Christmas Carol" movie starring Albert Finney as Scrooge called "Scrooge"?
I think it was a musical. My family watches it every year.

I would like to propose that the sentence "He flails wildly about as you punch him in the hump." is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Kudos to you guys.

I really hate to be a wet blanket, but as an actual type 1 diabetic, I'd just like to point out that too much insulin is the cause of a diabetic seizure, not at all the solution. The solution to hypoglycemia (what causes a seizure) is more sugar, and the way to deal with a seizure in progress is to give the person a glucagon shot, which is quite distinctive from an insulin shot.

You know that this story is supposed to be funny, full of teh jokes, and in no way educational or based on true events, right?

I was just glad I could spell "diabetes" correctly after years of hearing those commercials with Wilford Brimley.

so, is there a good ending? I think I went through all the choices and never saw one that I would think of as a happy ending for player.
