[WP] "Lovecraft was a coward. Sure, you can't always stop the monster from eating people, but if it turns out that all you need to do to stop it is have the proper ritual spoken while someone else shoots it in the face a few dozen times, do it! If a terror goes bump in the night, bump back"	200

[WP] A thuggish "Dark And Edgy" superpowered person decides to "break the spirit" of an upbeat and cheerful barista. A "Silly" villain decides to stop them by demonstrating that they're only silly because they choose to be silly, and that being a nightmare was always an option.	140
