You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

In the shop
There is a table with a sign saying
<strong>Free Sample:</strong>
Take one
On the table there is a fridge with a range of liquids. Also on the table are various magical trinkets including costumes. What would you like to take, or would you like to buy something?

Costumes
You decide to try out a costume.

I'm Alex The Lion!
You walk over to the goofy looking lion costume and examine it. You touch the costume and it feels nice. The fur gives off some sort of warmth. "Heated, huh?" you say with a smirk to the shop owner. He smiles back at you, though it was a real "That's funny" smile. You take your attention away from the shop owner and look back to the costume. You decide to put it on.
You start with the feet,legs and waist. They feel good on your body, and they fit too. Almost as if they were made just for you. You put on the upper half next and you feel the same warmth emanating from inside the suit, only it's more comforting than from the outside. You put the head on and you're amazed at how clear you can see through the eye holes. Its almost as if they were your own eyes. The shop owner comes over to you and say "Ah, I see you've chosen Alex, not uncommon. To work at its full potential, the suit needs to be worn for 24 hours. Enjoy!" You walk out the door and onto the street.
On the way home, you are hassled by kids who love "Alex the Lion" You smile at their playfulness, until one kid comes up and punches you in the gut. He says "I hated you in that film, you're a bad actor and you stink!"
Then he storms off. You decide to get home as quickly as possible before another incident like that one happens.
You get home and sit on the couch. Feel tried so you decide to go to sleep, but consider taking off the costume. But the you remember that the man told you to wear it for 24 hours, so you have a choice:
take it off or go to bed.
You choose...

Just lion around
As you pad softly up the stairs you belatedly realize that you left your clothes at the store and walked through town naked. Well, with no clothes over the costume anyway, which would have made you naked if you had been a real lion. It did not bother you then, but somewhere on the way the costume stopped feeling like a costume and started feeling like your own skin.
Well, too late to think about that now. You step into your bedroom and eye the bed curiously. Somehow it doesn't seem quite right for you tonight, but what alternatives do you have? The armchair?
As soon as you think if it, your tail (the costume's tail, you correct yourself) starts swishing from side. Wow, that felt almost real! Not that you have any idea what having a tail would feel like, but that's how you would imagine it. Even though you just spent half an hour on the couch downstairs, you somehow know that you can't sit comfortably on your tail (the costume's... oh forget it) any more.
So what? Curl up on the floor? No way Jos? - or Alex for that matter! Thinking of Alex makes you look at the poster over your desk, with Alex parodying the "Hang in there!" kitten. Being a full grown lion, his weight makes the tree bend until his hind feet touch the ground.
Well, that's no way to spend the night either. Suddenly the room feels unbearably stuffy, and you rush over to open the window. As soon as you feel the night breeze against your face (pausing briefly to ponder how you could feel that through a mask) you realize that you have found the answer. Alex is an outdoor lion after all and would only venture indoors if he absolutely had to. In fact, if you remember correctly, he usually sleeps in trees...
Without further thought (well, conscious thought anyway) you grab the eiderdown from your bed, toss it on the roof outside and jump after it. Curling up on the makeshift bed, you relax as only a feline can do, and within the space of a few heartbeats you are fast asleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream...
