SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

Sure, the living room isn't what most people would choose if they had first dibs, but the way you figure it, if something goes wrong in this spooky ol' mansion, you'll be the one who's closest to the front door for a quick escape. Naturally, the biggest drawback of sleeping in the living room is that you don't really have as much privacy as you would in a bedroom, so you're gonna have to find some way to curb your disturbing habit of sleeping in the nude. Yes, you have more hair on your body than the average sasquatch, but it's still not enough to cover up certain extremities which are far more horrifying than anything else found in this mansion. So please, do us all a favor and wear some goddamned clothes when you're sleeping.

Really old couch = bed? Sure, why not...

The living room is nice enough, you suppose, though it could definitely use a good dusting and some furniture that's less than 300 years old... but it'll have to do. At least the lighting gives it a nice warm glow and hopefully the heat from the lights won't set all this dry wood on fire. Sleeping on those couch cushions should be interesting too. A quick press test with your hands confirms that said cushions are anything but "cushiony" and seem to resemble the rigidness of your average redwood. Somebody's back is gonna love them in the morning!

Another issue is that, this not being a real bedroom, there isn't really anywhere to keep your clothes and toiletries. You could shove them under the couch and pray they don't get swallowed by dust bunnies. You could put them in one of the armoires which, if all the old horror movies you've seen are any indication, are probably secret doorways to some strange laboratory. You could just leave them on the living room table and hope nobody ridicules you when they notice your silky My Little Pony themed underwear. You could even store them in the old fireplace since... soot is a good look for you? Where to put them? Such a conundrum! Looks like you've got a choice to make! A choice that could determine your future! Ooooooo!

You choose to put your belongings:

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.
