[WP] The introduction of human sci-fi to the galactic media has led to two conflicting stereotypes about us. To many aliens, we're either militaristic xenophobes who shoot first and ask questions later, or interstellar Casanovas who will seduce their way across the galaxy. It can get awkward.	178
[WP] When taking your statement on the shooting, the officer notes with amazement the bullet holes in your jacket. "Sonofabitch must've just missed you!" You make sure not to show him the bullets, flattened from the impact with your chest.	167
[WP] While your child is fast asleep, you take their imaginary friend aside for a serious conversation. Tripping up classmates and stealing the teacher's keys is NOT acceptable behavior.	149
[WP] Due to a magical mishap, the Hero summoned to protect the kingdom is not a nondescript teen looking for a purpose in life, but a sweet old granny who is rather surprised at it all, but does welcome the excitement. Somehow, she ends up utterly trouncing the forces of evil, too.	149
[WP] "Your Honor, I submit that my client, Mr. Prometheus, has suffered cruel and unusual punishment entirely disproportionate to the scale of his crime. I therefore move that his eternal sentence be overturned."	134
[WP] As curator of a historical museum, you've met some odd characters. This tall, pale gentleman in dark clothes isn't the first person to try and buy artifacts off you. However, he IS the first to offer cash in currency several centuries out of date.	130
[WP] As a doctor, you've come across some strange cases. However, this is the first patient to hold a perfectly lucid conversation with you, while not having a pulse.	117
[WP] A ragged team of heavily-armed adventurers staggers into Guild headquarters, battered to within an inch of their lives. When asked what happened to them, they hesitate uneasily. Finally, their leader admits, "Rats."	107
[WP] With the Great Lich ascendant and seemingly unkillable, the forces of Good enact a powerful ritual to call down the Curse of Mortality. However, an unnoticed transcription error means they cast the Curse of Morality instead. The Lich is still immortal... but also has a conscience now.	106
[WP] Getting into a car crash like this is really damn inconvenient. Not only are you going to be late for your appointment, the paramedics are definitely going to have questions about your body's now-exposed mechanical parts.	105
