Based on the "Consequences" variant that my family and I used to play, but adapted for a forum environment.

Everyone adds to the story by anything from a line to a short paragraph, but you have to put it in spoiler tags, and you're only allowed to read the contribution of the poster above you, so you don't know how the story has progressed before that point. After a certain number of goes (let's say 10 to start with, then we can move up to 20 if enough people are interested) the last person to take a turn copies and pastes the whole story so everyone can read it.

The only other rule is no following on from your previous contribution. [EDIT: Note this strictly means no following on directly from your previous contribution. You may have more than one go per story, just let someone else have a go first. The more people have a go, the better it should get.]

I'll start.

Jenny Everywhere appeared as if out of nowhere into yet another new reality, laser pistol drawn. It was twilight, in what appeared to be a deserted city, skyscrapers towering overhead, discarded rubbish strewn across the streets floating in the breeze. Jenny knew this did not look good, and wondered when the zombies would come out of the basements and alleyways, hungry for her living flesh. But first, she had to find her nemesis alter ego, Jenny Nowhere...

Jenny Everywhere stalked down the empty streets, clutching her laser pistol. Perhaps Jenny Nowhere was responsible for the state of the city. Perhaps not. Maybe there were no zombies at all, and that just her assumption. She still went onward, through the streets, until she came across a wide but not quite tall building, with double doors that were hanging wide open.

Cautiously, Jenny entered the building. Not cautiously enough, however.

She found herself in a dungeon room. It was darker than the tool shed back at home, with only one torch lighting up one corner of it. There was a stairway leading up to the second floor, and a cellar door that lead to the basement. The whole place smelled like mold, and skeletons were scattered on the floor.

And then, in a lighthearted reprieve, she fell back down again, as it's hard to stand without musculature.

The story could have ended here. But Charles Atlas, the Hero of the Beach, took pity on the skeleton. All it takes for the Skeleton War to peter out is if good men do nothing. And he was the best. He would help her build up some inexplicable muscle. It was his calling.

He helped her train, until she was buff and more muscular than even the most muscular men (somehow.) At the end, she was so strong, she could defeat even the Kraken.

Charles Atlas was pleased. He has done his duty. His job here was done.

Thing is, the Kraken would stand to hear none of this, that he could possibly be beaten by a mere human female. So he got together with his other kraken pals under the sea to formulate a plan...

Of course, this made the time ripe for THE SUMMONNING OF CTHULHU!

My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!

Mary would have none of this Cthluthu business. So she packed together the usual things (nightie, toothbrush, spare underwear, Glock pistol, regular frag grenades, specially-modified anti-immortal grenades powerful enough to take down more than your common-or-garden Eldritch Abomination...) and set off for where the summoning was due to take place. note

Since nobody bothered to post a despoilered version of the first story...

EDIT: ...actually I will bother.

(Second story still ongoing, folks.)

[up][up]

After the treacherous journey across the arid desert, tropical jungle, high seas, and snowy mountains, she finally made it. The summoning circle was inside the crater of a stratovolcano, with pillars of lava shooting out around its circumference and hot, glowing rocks highlighting the pentagram in its center. She donned her fireproof hazmat suit and walked to the center, taking care not to move any of the rocks. She kneeled down and looked up to the sky. Ominous thunderclouds swirled above the crater, turning the sky into a violent shade of purple. Bolts of lightning crashed around the place, sending chills down her spine, but she knew she was ready for this moment.

Mary laid her supplies on the circle, and began to recite an ancient spell.
