SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

Well, if you're about to go for a long bus ride, you're going to need to wet your whistle (and not that whistle either, I know what you're thinking, and just because you're a curiosity of anatomy and certain things can be done doesn't by any stretch mean that they should--see what I did there? I said "stretch" which was a pun referring to--oh, nevermind! What in the hell did you ever do that was so goddamned clever anyway?), and you know just the place! You also know just the thing, and this time it doesn't involve licking the side of the Slurpee (or whatever passes for a Slurpee at the "Quickly Mart", don't ask me, I've never been there) overflow drip tray, because this time you have MONEY!

From the people who brought you Slowly DMV

Money to satisfy your oh-my-god-you're-probably-pregnant craving for a tasty "Hoo-hoo" beverage. You calmly breeze into the store, a smile on your face, and take stock of your surroundings, an important skill you learned in Super Detective School, which was something you applied for on the back of an Apple Jacks box and were the only person older than twelve in attendance, and head to the refrigerated section in the back of the store.

As you're checking each bottle's expiration date for the absolute freshest Hoo-hoo experience possible, you notice with some annoyance what sounds like an argument coming from the register. Sounds like somebody's coupon didn't get accepted you think, rolling your eyes as you continue browsing through the beverages. You notice one bottle that has an expiration date of April 13, 19--good lord, is that a "7"?--when suddenly you hear an angry voice yelling from the register up front "Just shut the fuck up and unload that register, pops!"

Everything a growing boy needs...

Not wanting to make any sudden movements, you mentally review all the customers you observed in the store as you first walked in. You have the power to catch this nasty ne'er-do-well off guard and save the day! You, yes, only you can stop this robbery in progress, but you've got to be stealthy, and you've got to be prepared. Let's see, which one of the customers you glanced over before was the most likely suspect? Oh sure, you could simply turn around, but then they'll know you're onto them!

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.
