[WP] As a modern-day necromancer, you offer a service where you will kill people for a little while, then bring them back in order to get out from under crushing debt. The banks aren't happy about this, so they've hired a paladin.	12694
[WP] You are a magically immortal being who snuck onboard a generation ship to travel beyond the solar system. It's been a couple hundred years, and it's getting difficult to conceal your immortality from the crew.	10264
[WP] You meant to give your precocious eight year old a copy of The Little Prince, but due to a shipping error, you instead gave them The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli. It seems to have made quite the impression on the child.	8065

[WP] Your ritual to summon an Archduke of Hell is successful, but next to His Infernal Majesty is a squat, rosy-cheeked figure. "Nebgreb here won a ride-along in the Pandaemonic elementary school spelling bee," explains the Archduke. "You don't mind if he asks questions, do you?"	5552

[WP] Any time you enter a closet or other small space, you have a chance of being transported to a whimsical magical kingdom where you have adventures that last years, but you always return at the exact moment you left. It's a gigantic pain in the neck, and you're completely fed up with it.	3804
[WP] You are part of a spacefaring species with a lifespan of only a few weeks. You have a human being on your ship who has been with you for dozens of generations. You worry that he may not survive until you reach your next spaceport.	3437
[EU] Children, I would like you to welcome your new Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Loki of Asgard.	3278
[WP] Your telepathy lets you hear others' thoughts. It's almost useless and extremely annoying since everyone thinks in nonstop stream-of-consciousness fragments, jumping focus constantly. Today, for the first time ever, you overhear someone thinking in fully coherent grammatical sentences.	2436
