[WP] You have been trapped in a daylong time loop for (subjectively) thousands of years, which has finally ended. Turns out transitioning back to linear time after hundreds of human lifespans in a loop is harder then fiction makes out.

[WP] The war has been going on for millennia, with minor victories on both sides but neither ever able to get a decisive advantage. But now, afters a devastating rout, it's finally over. The firefighters have lost, and the fires rise triumphant.

[WP] The laws of the galactic federation are clear. To colonize a planet with sapient life, a randomly chosen representative of that species must freely grant permission. You are that randomly chosen representative, and now aliens are trying to persuade you to let them make earth into a parking lot.

[WP] This is a world of horror. Dark forces lurk in the shadows, reports of inexplicable horrors fill the media, and even the most skeptical know to lock their doors and windows after nightfall. And as a genuinely friendly and unironic clown, it's making it really hard for you to find gigs.

[WP] Ok, your head scientist just talked about "sublimating the quark stream of the neutron star genome". You're really starting to worry this guy isn't a scientist. Which means you're really starting to worry about what the large beeping sphere he just turned on is actually going to do.

[WP] A petty thief, you grabbed an unattended bag on the subway and ran for it. Looking at your ill-gotten gains, you're hoping to find money or valuables. What you actually find makes you think that you might have stumbled onto a secret far out of your depth.

[WP] It's not the major things that get to you once you've jumped into a different timeline. It's the minor things- differences in slogan or titles or figures of speech. All minor, but all coming together to remind you that however close? This is not your home, and you don't belong here.

[WP] Everytime someone intrudes in this house, you, a masked undead slasher, rise up to destroy them. No-one's been here for a while, though. You're starting to introspect. Have you wasted your life stabbing teens? Should you take up a new job? As you think about this, the door finally opens.
