Ghost Mansion

Welcome... to Ghost Mansion. You have five lives.

Upon hearing that Ghost Mansion guarded three fabulous prizes, you knew you HAD to have them... NOW! That very night, you snuck out of your parents' house in a rush while they were sleeping. "Oh man... an upgradded Amber Nimph?! I's gotta have its! Il'l prawn so manny noobs so hardddd! Wheehoozle!" you thought to yourself as you journeyed past the town limits. "And dat frist-edittion foile Charizard... I's gonna get !rich! selling! that one!" A sharp blow to the head later, you slumped to the ground. Did you stumble into a tree while you were contemplating the fabulous treasures of Ghost Mansion? Or did someone assault you?

You awaken in a cramped, creepy little shack. It appears to still be nighttime, but by moonlight you can see Ghost Mansion in the distance through the window. The situation is mildly ominous, but you've already traveled this far. Why let a bump on the head deter you from FABULOUS PRIZES!

Rules

Collectively, you are all the player in this game! Suggest ACTIONS that will get you into Ghost Mansion alive. I will roll a die to randomly determine the player's next action from among the replies posted.

Let the game begin!

You are in a SHACK with various odd-colored stains all over the walls. There is a GIANT MAGNET here. EXITS: rusty door

Please input COMMAND.
So, what do you do?

If you have any questions you may PM Gumbeh.

Reserved for... something. Maybe a running history of actions taken would be good. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Anyway, I'll post the first player action after there are a few replies! Good luck in Ghost Mansion, PLAYER ONE!

Sing "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" as you try to leave the shack to go to Ghost Mansion without a care in the world.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

This.
You're just as selfish as I am. You're just not as good at it yet.

Attach Giant Magnet to the Window by an imaginary rope. Attract Ghost Mansion right next to the shack. Problem?

Or just take the magnet and go out the door. :P

Turn hardcore mode on, leave the shack, then start whistling "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" as you stroll down the street towards Ghost Mansion, without a care in the world. If by chance something scary pops up, bury your head in the ground, to honor the time-old ostrich (right?) philosophy.

flipped a coin, tails = 2nd post. you'll get your boulevard soon enough, I'm sure, tho not this time yet. you can quote yourself if you don't want to type it out each time. people who agree can submit the same action to increase the chance of it getting rolled, though as we've seen that doesn't always work

You LOOK. You are in a filthy SHACK. Stains indicate nothing good happens here, except for possibly extreme messy cooking. There is a rusty DOOR here. There is a MAGNET-shaped clean spot on the ground.

Please input next COMMAND.

PS - the window was in the fluffy intro text but has never been mentioned "in game". I apologize if that was confusing; I usually run these in-person and don't add as much fluffy text. This is my first time doing it as a forum game, which sadly lacks beer, body language, and players arguing over decisions, but gives me room to be a little more descriptive.
