SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

Just holding up the rare baseball card is enough to get the monstrous hellbeasts drooling. Maybe they love baseball, maybe they just want to sell the card to make a little extra scratch. Either way, you haven't said a word, but they already look like they're ready to kill each other. They turn to face each other, the Meatloaf-looking guy snarling and the janitor rubbing his hands together furiously. You hold the card between them for a moment, then pull it aside and shout, "BEGIN!"

What follows is a bloodbath. A massacre! A debacle! You've never seen such a brutal confrontation between a Frankenstein-ian monster and a humanoid fly. Limbs flying everywhere, haircuts getting mussed up, vomitus being consumed and then revomited, it's horrible! You can barely stand to watch, but luckily, it ends rather quickly. The buzzing of the janitor's wings starts to die out, and you're left with a bloodied and bruised... mean guy. You're not really sure what to call him, but he's the victor.

That's not MS Paint, that's EXACTLY what his bloody mouth looked like.

You had been entertaining the idea of keeping the rare baseball card for yourself, but seeing the way your former detractor has been eyeing it (and seeing that he's covered in the janitor's blood, er, ichor), you decide to just give him his prize. He grabs the card and starts giggling with glee. You can't decide if this is a touching scene or not, but regardless, the bloodied baseball card fanatic takes off running down the hall and out of sight.

And now you're alone again. You wonder where you should go next. This basement definitely seems to be full of some interesting, but after being nearly mauled to death by a toothless hunchback's strange pet, perhaps you'd be better off going back to your room to get some sleep. Then again, you kind of want to follow that damn hunchback and give him what for. And maybe you'll find something useful in the janitor's office, seeing as he probably won't need any of his stuff anymore. And look: there's the hallway that giggling monster ran down. That could be full of surprises, too!

You decide to:

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.
