Jeremy from Chemistry bet that you couldn't survive until morning. (text-colour:grey)[[[>>->Start1]]]

You have to win and rub it in stupid Jeremy's face. (text-colour:grey)[[[Enter->Enter]]]

Dust clouds as you enter. (text-colour:grey)[[[>>->Enter0]]]

The manor is dry, crowded with debris. (text-colour:grey)[[[>>->Enter1]]]

You see a translucent woman with sullen eyes. (text-colour:grey)[[[>>->Enter2]]]

It's a ghost! (text-colour:magenta)[[[Fight->Fight]]] (text-colour:cyan)[[[Flight->Flight]]] (text-colour:yellow)[[[Flirt->Flirt]]]

You punch the ghost. (text-colour:magenta)[[[>>->Fight0]]]

You scramble back and trip over debris. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->Flight0]]]

Your eyes flick to the ghost's mouth, and you both blush. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->Flirt0]]]

She is unharmed, but you knock over your lantern, setting some debris on fire. (text-colour:magenta)[[[>>->Fight1]]]

The ghost begins to wail. (text-colour:magenta)[[[Fight->FightFight]]] (text-colour:cyan)[[[Flight->FightFlight]]] (text-colour:yellow)[[[Flirt->FightFlirt]]]

Flames engulf the room. (text-colour:magenta)[[[>>->FightFight0]]]

Flames engulf the room. (text-colour:purple)[[[>>->FightFlight0]]]

You lock eyes with the ghost. (text-colour:red)[[[>->FightFlirt0]]]

You do not stop punching the ghost. (text-colour:magenta)[[[>>->FightFight1]]]

The house burns. (text-colour:magenta)[[[>>->FightFight2]]]

You burn. (text-colour:magenta)[[[>>->FightFight3]]]

You flee. (text-colour:purple)[[[>>->FightFlight1]]]

The house burns to the ground, but you escape! (text-colour:purple)[[[>>->FightFlight2]]]

Unfortunately, morning is still hours away. (text-colour:purple)[[[[>>->FightFlight3]]]]

You have lost the bet, and Jeremy laughs at you. (set: $Purple to true) (text-colour:purple)[[[Bad End->NewGame+]] ]

The ghost hates you, and you have lost the bet. (set: $Magenta to true) (text-colour:magenta)[[[Bad End->NewGame+]] ]

You smile, slowly. (text-colour:red)[[[>>->FightFlirt1]]]

So does she. (text-colour:red)[[[>>->FightFlirt2]]]

Flames engulf the room. (text-colour:red)[[[>>->FightFlirt3]]]

You joke about how hot you feel; her laughter crackles like the fire. (text-colour:red)[[[>>->FightFlirt4]]]

The house burns. (text-colour:red)[[[>>->FightFlirt5]]]

You burn. (text-colour:red)[[[>>->FightFlirt6]]]

You have lost the bet, but your ghosts are in love. (set: $Red to true) (text-colour:red)[[[Good End?->NewGame+]]]

Sharp wood pierces your leg. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->Flight1]]]

It bleeds profusely. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->Flight2]]]

You cannot stand. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->Flight3]]]

The ghost looms over you, watching you bleed. (text-colour:magenta)[[[Fight->FlightFight]]] (text-colour:cyan)[[[Flight->FlightFlight]]] (text-colour:yellow)[[[Flirt->FlightFlirt]]]

You punch the ghost. (text-colour:navy)[[[>>->FlightFight0]]]

The ghost reaches out, but you're already dragging yourself outside. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->FlightFlight0]]]

You meet her eyes. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt0]]]

Your fists feel the cold of death. (text-colour:navy)[[[>>->FlightFight1]]]

You keep punching the ghost. (text-colour:navy)[[[>>->FlightFight2]]]

She watches your blood mingle with the dust on the floor. (text-colour:navy)[[[>>->FlightFight3]]]

You bleed out. (text-colour:navy)[[[>>->FlightFight4]]]

You have lost the bet. (set: $Blue to true) (text-colour:navy)[[[Bad End->NewGame+]]]

Despite the hour, somebody finds you and calls 911. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->FlightFlight1]]]

You have lost the bet. (text-colour:cyan)[[[>>->FlightFlight2]]]

Jeremy regards your wounds with surprising tenderness and regret, and it sucks. (set: $Cyan to true) (text-colour:cyan)[[[Bad End->NewGame+]] ]

Your breath catches. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt1]]]

She approaches. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt2]]]

Your fingers touch. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt3]]]

You don't feel her, but she guides your hands to tend your wounds. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt4]]]

She shows you how she wants to touch you. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt5]]]

You feel her through your hands. (text-colour:green)[[[>>->FlightFlirt6]]]

By the time you've won the bet, you no longer care. (set: $Green to true) (text-colour:green)[[[Good End->NewGame+]]]

You lean in. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->Flirt1]]]

She leans in. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->Flirt2]]]

You close your eyes. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->Flirt3]]]

The ghost takes this opportunity to possess your body. (text-colour:magenta)[[[Fight->FlirtFight]]] (text-colour:cyan)[[[Flight->FlirtFlight]]] (text-colour:yellow)[[[Flirt->FlirtFlirt]]]

You punch the ghost, which mean punching yourself. (text-colour:orange)[[[>>->FlirtFight0]]]

You try to flee. (text-colour:lime)[[[>>->FlirtFlight0]]]

You moan that you love how the ghost feels inside you. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->FlirtFlirt0]]]

It hurts. (text-colour:orange)[[[>>->FlirtFight1]]]

You can't kick her out, but she can't control you. (text-colour:orange)[[[>>->FlirtFight2]]]

You win the bet, and gain a "roommate." (text-colour:orange)[[[>>->FlirtFight3]]]

Jeremy seems hurt you're preoccupied with somebody else. (set: $Orange to true) (text-colour:orange)[[[Good End?->NewGame+]]]

The more you try to run away from yourself, the more she takes control. (text-colour:lime)[[[>>->FlirtFlight1]]]

She's running this now. (text-colour:lime)[[[>>->FlirtFlight2]]]

You have lost your body and the bet. (text-colour:lime)[[[>>->FlirtFlight3]]]

At least you don't have to face stupid Jeremy. (set: $Lime to true) (text-colour:lime)[[[Bad End->NewGame+]]]

She recoils and immediately exorcises herself. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->FlirtFlirt1]]]

The ghost flees. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->FlirtFlirt2]]]

The ghost hates you, and you won the bet. (text-colour:yellow)[[[>>->FlirtFlirt3]]]

Time to rub it in stupid Jeremy's face! (set: $Yellow to true) (text-colour:yellow)[[[Good End->NewGame+]] ]
