SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

You grab a handful of the chortling luckdragon's mane and attempt to slam his head into the jukebox. He doesn't budge at all, nor does he even seem aware of you at all. You'll need to do a few more reps with your free weights before you'll be able to toss him around. No matter. If you can't bring his head to the jukebox...

BASH! BASH! BASH!

You'll just have to bring the jukebox to his head. You bash and bash and bash, but you'll be damned if it's doing anything, apart from causing the Limahl track to skip slightly. Frustrated, you wind up and give one last mighty swing with the surprisingly sturdy jukebox. The blow causes Falcor's head to shift slightly, but more importantly, it causes the minijuke to stop playing. Before you can declare victory, however, it advances to the next song on the list:

Great tracklist!

And you realize your troubles have only just begun.

"Idaho? Why that reminds me of a joke! A joke about potatoes! You see, there was once a man who was staying at a hotel that specialized in making delicious bowls of potato soup..."

It's inescapable. So long as you're in the company of this rambling luckdragon, you'll be forced to endure a neverending loop of the same tired story. The notion is just too much to bear. You yank the live wires out of the back of the minijuke and manage to get them in your mouth before Falcor gets to the bit about the enema.

HOP IN MY CHRYSLER, IT'S AS BIG AS A FAIL! START OVER!!!

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.
