[WP] The stories all got something wrong. Heracles got counselling for his insanity instead of killing his family. Odysseus believed Cassandra when calling himself Nobody. Icarus heeded his father--and many more. Tell me which of them all you would like to hear the true tale of, and I shall tell it.	50
[CW] Tell a story, without any dialogue, of fierce warriors attempting to peacefully settle their differences.	37
[EU] The Avengers and the Justice League have agreed to play a sports game for charity. There are just a few problems. They have to decide on the game, and special rules. Difficult but necessary when you have people who can shatter planets and manipulate matter on an atomic level on your roster.	36
[WP] The aliens needed warriors to protect them from a terrible foe. When the first radio transmissions from Earth arrived, they rejoiced, and an expedition was sent. There's just one problem--we actually achieved world peace centuries before. They'll have work hard to convince us to fight again.	29
[WP] The villain and the hero have an agreement--their mutual friend is not to be hurt in their fights. Sometimes one of them even crosses the line or looks the other way to let the other help their friend.	28
[WP] Gods love to interfere in the lives of mortals. But no matter how much trouble the pantheon stirs up, this one village always finds a way to work past the strife the immortals stir up among their ranks--to the bafflement of the gods, who want to know how these mortals maintain their peace.	27
[WP] The salvage crew was excited. It wasn't every day they found a remnant of ancient technology! They just didn't expect it would be disputed...by the original owners, of all things!	26
[WP] You're the dark lord, and you've just been beaten by the prophesied hero. But you're not even mad, because the highly unorthodox method they used to defeat you was, frankly impressive, and you admire them for their cleverness.	25
[WP] Everyone knows about vampires and werewolves these days--stories about them abound. Even the fae (fairies) and dragons get pretty decent media coverage. You're a more obscure 'mythical' being that has somehow managed to stay out of the limelight, whether you like it or not.	25
[WP] The walls between worlds were at one time weak, leading to the inspiration of countless myths. Since then, though, advances in technology and magic have led to them being strengthened, and magic is all but nonexistent on Earth now. And then someone on the other side breaks them again.	24
