Self Demonstrating / Lemony Snicket

Go To

(Best read in the voice of Patrick Warburton)

If you want to know what a self-demonstrating page is, it is a type of page where characters with unique speech patterns or unique personalities get to describe themselves to the readers.

My name is Lemony Snicket, and it is my duty to tell the tale of the Baudelaire orphans and my personal history throughout the story we like to call as, "A Series of Unfortunate Events".

Now, you would all know me as the narrator of the story. Known to make a definition of everything that the viewers could or could not understand. But that is not important right now, because, on this page, I will tell you about my personal life and how I track down the Baudelaire orphans.

My story begins with an organization called the V.F.D. About a decade ago, I was attending the opera with my friends, Beatrice Baudelaire, Count Olaf, his father, and Esme Squalor. During the show, I plotted to steal the Sugar Bowl with Beatrice because we need it for the cure for the Medusoid Mycelium. The Medusoid Mycelium is a dangerous spore that could kill people. It was developed by Gregor Anwhistle, head of the Anwhistle Aquatics.

Unfortunately, I really wished that we didn't steal it as it caused Esme to try and kill us with poisonous darts, and before long, Beatrice accidentally killed Olaf's father, which started Olaf's descent into villainy.

Following the murder, I offer to take the blame so Beatrice can go into hiding. Except, Olaf has figured out that Beatrice was the one who killed his father, and eventually, he murdered Beatrice and her husband by setting their house on fire.

And so, the Baudelaire orphans were forced into a life of dangerous adventures with several guardians, friendly faces, and dangerous enemies.

This is everything that is related to me

  • Broken Ace: I might be a competent V.F.D. member but years of being on the run have turned me into a cynical individual.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Not that you can tell...
  • The Eeyore: Years on the run have diminished my confidence.
  • Faking the Dead: I faked my death so I can go on the run. My family is the only one who knows that I'm alive.
  • Irony: In a cruel way, even though I faked my death, I became the last member of the V.F.D. with every other member, including my own family, either killed, went missing, or perished in the Hotel Denouemont fire.
  • It's All My Fault: I blamed myself for starting the schism between the fire-starters and fire-fighters of the V.F.D. all because I and Beatrice needed the Sugar Bowl to cure the Medusoid Mycelium.
