How do you mourn someone you still see every other day?	10

[EU] You awaken on the floor of an ill-lit laboratory, an empty flask in your hand, no memories save for a hazy blur, and no sense of who you are but an overpowering sense of guilt. You see a woman tied to a table, but when you free her, she whispers: "Who are you? Where's Dr. Hyde? Is he dead?"	7

[WP] You wake up one morning to discover your eyes filled with a pop-up message from “the development team”, proudly announcing the launch of “server 2”. You look out your window. Somebody makes a series of weird, fumbling gestures... and then he vanishes.	6
[WP] Legends abound of evil genies who will twist even the most innocuous wish into something horrific. You have found the opposite: a genie who goes out of her way to grant wishes in the most charitable way possible. Being the warlord of an evil empire, this frustrates you immensely.	6
[EU] Dr. Jekyll's research was a resounding success, and "evil" is just another psychiatric condition humanity has a pill for. Alas, he couldn't foresee that centuries later a key ingredient would turn out to be very decidedly finite...	6
