[WP] You receive a letter congratulating you on your recent discovery of your magical skills, which explains some recent oddities, and further invites you to a school of magic to be taught all you need to know. When you arrive at the school, you find out that you're the only student. Ever.	10
[WP] This is the seventh in as many weeks. Every vic fits the pattern. Wearing pyjamas, no signs of a struggle, dead from grain entrapment in a local silo. The chief is calling in the FBI to make it official, but everyone already knows the score: there's a cereal killer on the loose.	9
[WP] "We can't give you many chances. Power is low, and we can only guarantee ten one-hour loops at maximum, after that you're stuck with the events of your last go-round. The red button on this fob will let you exit the loop early, if you get it right sooner. Brace yourself. This is going to hurt."	9
[WP] You're preparing for work when your brother bursts in ranting about timelines and how he's screwed everything up. When you finally get him to calm down, he tells you a pretty tall tale, even for him.	9
[WP] Reality began to break apart this morning. Gravity was the first thing to go a little haywire. The speed of light was next. You've been dealing with it as best as you can, but now time has decided to go wibbly-wobbly.	9
[WP] The world is ending, the stars are winking out one by one, and it's all your fault. All this because you tried to do something new when you were making breakfast this morning.	9
[WP] You found a meteorite, and took it home. This morning, you found that it had turned itself into an icosahedron, with strange markings on each of its 20 faces. You pick it up and give it a little roll. The markings glow, and it makes a weird noise. You realize you're not at home anymore.	9
[WP] After much hullabaloo, it was determined that going near or faster than light speed is impossible, generation ships are a boondoggle, and seed ships are unethical. We had just accepted that we needed to buckle down and love our own planet when we discovered those blasted portals in Bermuda.	9
[WP] You pop the cap off your beverage and notice it has some writing inside: "Your journey begins now." You think nothing of it, until a few moments later when you're stunned by the white light and loud roaring noise.	9
[WP] For weeks you've been hiding the strange markings that mysteriously show up on your arms every morning. Today, you saw similar badly-concealed marks on the arms of someone you know well.	8
