There’s a new story in the mansion! This is a sneaky one, but most of the stories that wind up in the mansion are rather sneaky. It seems to be a prerequisite. This was one of those stories where I stumbled upon it on my rounds. Like many of the other stories in that world, it had snuck in past the guardian that most visitors do not manage to sneak by. This is no fault to the creature guarding the place, of course. Stories can come in through the crack.
I found this story in the library. It was sitting near another story, and the two were chatting happily. They both enjoyed a certain thrill level, and were both quite content to remain by the fireplace. I introduced myself, and after a few seconds of conversation, I realized that this story was a perfect fit for the mansion.
I did have to lay down some rules, though. No summoning monsters, or opening portals, or cutting the power, or making objects disappear. These are all very annoying things, and are considered rude by most people. The story agreed, for it had a good sense of propriety. It then settled down in front of the fireplace to resume its conversation, and before long, a third story across the room began chiming in. I left the happy trio to their discussion.
You’ll find this story easily enough. Just look for the game in the library. And don’t worry, this story won’t get into any antics unless you decide to play the game for yourself. Then all bets are off as to what will happen. But that’s the fun thing about this particular one, it’s never the same twice.
