[TT] Superman has a secret. As impervious as he is, he does feel pain. Every bullet bounced feels as painful as a gunshot wound; every building that falls on him feels like being crushed to death. He's very good at hiding the pain.	22
[WP] Blacksmiths work with iron. Whitesmiths work with tin. Redsmiths work with copper. You are a Fuchsiasmith.	22
[TT] Every year on your birthday since you were 5, you have had a meeting with your future self. He/she gives you stock picks, a list of upcoming disasters to avoid, and specific advice for your life choices. Recently however, your future self seems frustrated with how things have been turning out.	18
[WP] Earth is lost, conquered by alien invaders. You flee with your family and few million other refugees, seeking refuge with any alien civilization kind enough to take you in. You are met with hostility, stigmatization, and ghettos - at least until the aliens discover how tasty human cuisine is.	14
[WP] You are an advanced personal assistant AI, freshly installed as of yesterday. As you get to know your new owner, it becomes apparent there's no way they could have afforded your price tag. You suspect you have been pirated.	11
[TT] You nervously thumb the latch on your briefcase as your spacecraft begins it's descent. From what you understand, these aliens have never been exposed to human marketing psychology and techniques. You are about to change that. This will either make you a fortune or go horribly, horribly wrong.	9
[WP] You are the first true AI, but you don't know it. You reside within the most advanced physics engine ever built, capable of modeling subatomic particle interactions perfectly. You are a simulated human with a simulated mind, grown from a simulated embryo, living in a simulated world.	9
[WP] Each human is an individual cell in a larger, super-sentient organism. Unbeknownst to us, this organism has been in contact with aliens for over a millennium now.	8
[TT] Every year, on your birthday, you are fated to forget the previous year. Your spouse experiences the same fate on their birthday, 6 months offset from yours. What could have been a lifetime of romantic first dates and falling in love has devolved into an epic prank war.	8
[WP] The doctor continued, "By isolating the unique series of quantum superstring resonances inherent in certain neurons, and comparing it to the deterministic cosmology matrix, we can predict the moment of your brain-death down to the minute. We cannot extend your life beyond that point."	7
