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.

The Silver Chair is an anthology of quasi-Lovecraftian short stories that each have a different cast and setting but all feature the titular chair as the seat (ha ha) of some unspecified and derply mysterious eldritch influence. The stories follow the Silver Chair as it changes hands between different families and groups across the 18th to 20th centuries, bringing peculiar forms of madness to those it comes into contact with. One story has a carpenter try and create a duplicate out of Human bone and sinew. The chair's origin is only hinted at- having been first discovered in a Scandinavian barrow- and its ultimate fate is left unsaid. The anthology would go on to inspire a small but vocal internet fan community to expand on the legend, and an object very similar to the Silver Chair in description was added to the SCP foundation wiki.
