I break my legs, then my arms, and then my neck during my routine. At least the judges give me 10s.

TNP is trying to put up a poster on a wall in their room.

My wall breaks down and I fall forward into a vast abyss.

I get trampled by Weird Al'Yankovic himself while trying to get to his concert. And then had my dead body autographed.


TNP takes a seat in a bus.

The bus driver turns out to be a corgi, who promptly crashes the bus and kills me and everyone inside.

I grill it in a defective oven and never notice the carbon monoxide buildup. The sandwich was delicious though.

Turns out I accidentally fished the Loch Ness Monster. This ain't good.

The newspaper is made of lethal poison. I can't even finish reading a single word because my heart stopped.

I get gibbed by the paradox so strong that I get teleported straight into a spike from I Wanna Be the Guy... and die on it.

There’s been a big spill in the wait line, causing a domino effect which, being at the back of the line, gets you crushed to death.

I'm not trained at all, but I'm having a good time! At least, at first. After 3 minutes, my lack of training starts to catch up to me. The ensemble doesn't notice, neither does the pit orchestra. The audience watches with rapt attention. I can't stop. My body is not mine to control.

One of my castmates drops to the floor, before launching themself up again, belting the entire time. They expect me to do the same. Instead, I succumb to exhaustion and collapse, already mostly dead. I'm still singing. The audience thinks I'm in character. They think I'm the best they've ever seen. The music stops and they give a standing ovation.

I fade out to the sound of raucous applause. If I brought my inhaler this would've never happened.


TNP finds a chihuahua in their house, ew.

I can't decide. I really can't decide. My companions leave. The restaurant goes out of business around me. I starve and my body is still there, finger on the menu, and covered in cobwebs.


TNP is at the circus.

I get eaten by the desk grues. I hope I was at least tasty.

TNP accidentally leaves some potato chips they forgot to pay for in their bag when they’re leaving the store.

Somehow another guy tries to robs the store and it ends very bad, the cops follow you thinking you are the suspect, when you realize the chips are there you say "Ok, I did it..." you are removing the bag of chips but... this doesn´t end well..

I find the fresh baked stuff! And its 70% off for the day! I take a bite while in line. It smells so good. And it was mixed with nuts during baking. I swell up and asphyxiate before anyone in line even notices.


TNP is at the library.

I find the perfect pair of shoes and decide to run in them for as long as I can. Unfortunately, I care too much about the shoes to notice when the second floor ends and gravity begins.
