[WP] The royal advisor isn't sure why everyone thinks he is going to betray the king, perhaps it is the skull on top of his staff, maybe it is the ominous dark flowing robes or simply the way he laughs, regardless he decides to hire an advisor to help him act less suspiciously	8398	PotentialSmell
[WP] You discover some seeds and decide to plant them in your yard. After several weeks, odd orange plants with triangular tips have grown, and life begins to get a little easier for you. You have become a Karma farmer.	8396	reverendrambo
[WP] You are a scientist firing up the worlds newest, most powerful microscope. You insert a glass slide, zoom in past atoms, past electrons, into just darkness. Then you see them.... galaxies.	8395	Lozpetts162
[WP] You're on a space ship with a bunch of your crewmates. You're the only human, and apparently metaphors are a strictly human behavior. You've learned to cope with this, but today you've decided to speak in only figures of speech as a prank on the others.	8392	TheBeanBoyHaHa
[WP] Right when you become 18, you have to get a familiar. Even when you reached that age, you didn't get one, so you've been expecting none. So it's a bit of a surprise when Cthulhu suddenly appears and claims that you're their familiar.	8384	BlackMage31

[WP] On earth, the fastest manmade item ever was a manhole cover, blasted into space by a nuclear launch. Far, far away in the galaxy though, you are an alien on a medieval-level world, trying to interpret what omen the gods sent by launching a metal disk from the sky to kill the king.	8378	Urbenmyth
[WP] "It's simple, really. You just buy a haunted house for cheap from a desperate seller, finish the ghost's unfinished business - or deal with whatever it is keeping them bound to this plane - and then just sell the property for a profit."	8375	CreepyUncleDed
[WP] Ten years from now you'll put on a jacket and find a mask in the pocket. "Oh man, what a weird year that was," you'll chuckle to yourself. Then you'll pick up your machete and continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving gangs of cannibal raiders.	8372	Jinjinov
[WP] You've avoided saying people's names your whole life. You feign awkwardness, forgetfulness - whatever it takes. For you, names have power - literally. Speaking a person's name unleashes it.
