Write A Plot From The Title (Writing Game)

Go To

If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...

Troper A: Soul Surfer

Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.

Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

An acclaimed, retiring architect realises while looking over the schematics of his earliest designed building that he overlooked a fatal flaw in the foundations of the building that could cause it to collapse under too much pressure. Be that as it may, a popular rock concert is scheduled to be held in that building, and the immense vibrations caused by the loudspeakers could be just enough to break the foundations. The owner of the building, a narrow-minded Corrupt Corporate Executive who has already been paid handsomely for the use of the building, dismisses the architects concerns as mere paranoia. It's up to the architect to save the day by preventing anyone from attending the rock concert while he finds a way to fix the foundations on his own.

A couple is marrying in the first scene, then cuts to the bride walking to the altar, then the groom and his men of honor doing bets about if the bride will come, then cuts to the bridesmaids rushing to find a replacement dress, being witnessed by the groom's men of honor... a pretty hilarious comedy made in the vein of Memento.

The tale of a benevolent Puppetmaster who carefully manipulates peoples' lives from behind the scenes in order to guide them into the lives that will grant them the most happiness. He is able to do this because, for some reason, he was born with the innate ability to sense another's deepest desire and the ability to guide them to it. Sadly for him, he can never let his gift or his contributions to their lives be known.

Now, it's a race against the clock to return the sun before the world freezes. (Heavily influenced by Norse mythology.)
