Transformation Mansion
There are many points in the mansion where you will change forms.
The more nights you spend in a form the more your behavior will reflect that form (also the longer you stay at a time the quicker your behaviour changes).
If you change forms your behavior will go to the current state of that form for you.
(e.g you are a tiger for 10 nights , become a dolphin for another 10 and become a tiger again. The tiger form behavior is still the same as is was when you become a dolphin)
You can only spend 30 consecutive nights or 90 total in a form before your behavior is totally that form's behavior.
Also after 300 nights in the mansion, you will become the form that you have spent the most of the last 300 days in (apart from the one you entered in) in its current state.
If any of the 3 previous situations (30 consecutive or 90 in one form or 300 nights total) occur you will then be teleported out of the mansion.
You may also leave at any time through any exit, except the one you entered in. You will leave the mansion in whatever your current state of mind and body
is.
If you leave the mansion by any means you may not come back for 5 years.
To start you off you will receive a transformation into a...

People always said you were cold blooded.
You feel an itching on the back of your hand and you go to scratch it. While you are scratching your hand it seems to be getting worse. You look down at your hand and see that you have scratched most of the skin off your hand.
You yell out in surprise. The itching intensifies as the skin starts to fall of by itself. All of a sudden you change from warm blooded mammal, to cold blooded reptile. You feel a tail pushing it's way out through your pants and suddenly the changes hit your hit and you fall to the ground, unconscious.
When you wake up you have found that you have turned into a...

Lizard
You suddenly feel warm, but dissmiss it as your overactive imagination playing tricks on you again (For some reason, it has done so ever since you entered the mansion) You try to get up but overbalance and fall on your face.
You push yourself up with your arms. Your weird scaly arms... "What the hell!!" You start to panic. "Okay, a few moments ago I was human, now I'm... I don't know what I am!"
You look over yourself: clawed hands, scaly skin, sharp teeth, eyes on the side of your head, and a long tail.
You try to calm yourself down, and think about this logically. Obviously what is happening is impossible, so it's unlikely that its real. "That's it! I'm hallucinating!" You yell.
You decide to pinch yourself to demonstrate your point. "Ow! Okay, it's real then."
You now choose to...

Embarking!
Off you go, galumphing along the cold floor, your lizardly senses confusing you thoroughly with every step. The voice has told you the rules, and you can't now remember anything it said; you've been turned into a bloody lizard.
This does not bode well.
But! You vaguely remember what the voice quoth about the amount of days spent in a body affecting your human psyche, so, you figure, while the human body's got it's ups and its downs, the human mind is the Lamborghini of the natural world, and you would be a grade A dum-dum if you let it slip away. So off you galumph, confusing yourself and wondering how lizards could have survived so long.
You come to an ornate door on the ground level and push it open. A lit-up sign in the middle of the room reads "Sample the fruits of changliness below. But remember: the transformation may not be what you expect!" Said banquet lies below, spread on a cloth on the ground, as if the mysterious and yet unknown creators of the mansion had anticipated your four-leggedness. You decide you might as well choose a favorite item and chow down.
At that moment, a group of three men and two women bust through the door of the mansion, holding firearms. One holds a large, unwieldy bag. Without a word, they charge up the stairs, the one in the lead saying "Remember, no TOUCHING, no TASTING, no TALKING to the mysterious voices!"
The banquet lies before, the stairs behind.
WHAT...
DO...
YOU...
DO?

Which One?
You decide to ignore the people and instead focus on the banquet. Which food do you choose?

Just an Ape-tizer
As a lizard, most of the dishes at the banquet are larger than you. You decide to go with something smaller.
A few minutes later, you find that it's impossible to peel a banana with a lizard's claws and teeth. You give up and eat it with the peel on. It's easier when the changes start and your teeth get bigger.
It's immediately obvious that you're becoming a mammal again. Your tail and scales shrink as you grow big and hairy - bigger and hairier, in fact, than you ever were as a human. Your leathery arms and torso bulge with muscles. So does your forehead. Your claws shrink, your reptilian toes thicken, and you've got fingers again - clumsy, sausagelike ones, but fingers all the same. You've even got thumbs on your feet. When the changes finish, you're standing again, even if most of your weight is held up by your massive arms and knuckles. You've become a gorilla. Not human, but close enough.
Now that you're a primate again, you find you can think more clearly. Stumbling around at random probably isn't the best way to get out of this mansion. You need a strategy. It's difficult to know which way to go. The only entrance you know of is locked now, and you don't know the layout of the rest of the mansion - or even if the layout stays the same. The rooms change you; you might as well assume they can change themselves as well. Even the old labyrinth strategy, turning right at every corner, might not work in this place.
If only you had a ball of string.
All right, so there's not much you can do to find your way out - except just keep moving. The next thing is to make sure you can do that. You'll need to stay focused to get out of here. The longer you stay in one shape, the more of your mind you lose. Therefore, what you want to do is change as often as possible, into as many different shapes as possible, until you find a way out of this crazy place. You don't know how often the mansion itself is going to change you - or if you might get stuck somewhere and be unable to change. Therefore, what you need is a large supply of transformation triggers...
...Like the ones right in front of you.
When you look at it that way, it's obvious. With your newfound fingers, you grab the corners of the banquet blanket and pull the whole thing into one big bundle. You can hear things squashing and shattering inside, but you don't really care if the food gets mixed up. All it has to do is keep you transforming. It doesn't have to taste good.
With a grunt, you swing the bundle over one massive shoulder and knuckle your way onward. You don't know where you're going, but at least you won't go hungry.
At the back of the banquet room are doors in various sizes; the smallest is barely an inch high, while the largest looks like it could fit an elephant. There's also something like a fireman's pole in front of them. Made of smooth metal, it extends into wide openings in the floor and ceiling. It would be easy to slide down the pole, but as a gorilla, you could probably climb up as well. The hole above you is dark; looking down, you can see a dim red light.
What's it going to be - up, down, or forwards?
