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.

Balthazar Gideon, a handsome young man in the prime of his health, died of a sudden, mysterious heart attack. There was no reason for Gideon to get a heart attack— he exercised fanatically and ate only the best, most wholesome food. And yet, he lay dead, looking as bronzed and beautiful in death as he had ever looked in life.

And so his exquisite corpse was lowered into the Earth.

And then someone dug it up three days later.

The corpse was found dangling from the banister of Gideon Manor, maimed and mutilated. The surviving Gideons called Scotland Yard, who brought in Detective Merrill Olsen and Dr. Louisa Gates. Dr. Gates discovered that although Gideon was extraordinarily healthy on the outside, his vital organs had been slowly rotting away. Meanwhile, Detective Olsen discovered that much the same could be said for the Gideon Family at large— they were The Beautiful Elite on the outside, but behind closed doors, they were absolutely rotten.

An intense platfomer game that came out in the 90s. A comically grimdark game where the players has to run to the end of the stage while they have 99 lives and only 99 lives. Everything's a one-hit kill and the protagonist is constantly saying something, either a joke, or an insult to the player.

Dishonored knight stumbles across an ingot of cursed steel that he makes into his breastplate armor. It causes a violent thunderstorm to rage over the battlefield every time it is struck, and lightning slays all his foes.

But every time that power is summoned, it fuses more and more with his body and starts to peel his humanity away, turning him into a thunder god and his twisted, blackened armor becomes one with his flesh until he becomes a monster that prowls the battlefield looking for a challenger to kill him and free him from his curse.

Solomon Grundy is an up and coming folk musician from a small PNW town. He works himself to death busing tables to scrape up money to move to Metropolis, only to meet asshole agent and club owner Clark Kent who becomes a major stumbling block in his career to become the next Bob Dylan.

Enjoy the musical stylings of Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus as he tours the independent music scene of Metropolis. Expect guest appearances from Lex Luthor and the Bunnymen and Lois Lane's Traveling Wilburys.

Eventually the two realize that they are more alike than they thought they were, with Clark suppressing his musical career due to an overbearing father and abusive mother, and Grundy never being honest to himself with his lyrics, and they go on tour together.

The unofficial sequel to the infamous videogame "City Connection", called City Slickers in some parts of Brazil, for some reason, made by Video Brinquedo and using the models from "Little Cars". The fact it's a 2D-ised 3D game like Kirby 64 and the fact that the car in the game, based on the protagonist of Little Cars, explodes when hit, made this game a cult classic.

In order to ensure the success of his new venture, he enlists a trio of famous bouncers to stop these crooks from getting their party on— no matter the cost.
