Change The Story

[Andy]

Here's a game that will hopefully result in dozens of possible stories being created. The person above you will have a story summary. Your job is to tweak it a little - or a lot. The result should be similar to the previous story, but not completely different. Try to keep it no longer than a paragraph.

Some changes you could make could include:
- changing the genre
- adding or removing characters, events, or plot points.
- changing a character's personality or motives, or gender

Example:

Once there was a farmboy who never knew his parents. He wanted to leave his uncle and go fight against the evil Empire. One day, his uncle was killed, so he found the rebels and joined them. After lots of training, he destroyed the Empire's super mega death station and everyone celebrated.

So the next post could be:

Once there was a depressed princess who lived in a castle. She was kept locked up in her room, for her parents' kingdom was under the rule of the evil Empire. She longed for adventure. One day, she ran away, found the rebels, and joined them. After lots of training, she helped destroy the Empire's underground fortress and everyone celebrated.

So do I use the summary you used as your example or shall I start with my own summary?

[Andy]

You could start with the second boxed example. :)

I think I'll go ahead and start this then.

Once there was a depressed princess who lived in a castle. She was kept locked up in her room, for it had been prophesied that if she ever saw a man, her kingdom would be destroyed. One day, a man burst into her room anyway. He turned out to be a prince from a neighboring kingdom, and he wanted to fulfill the prophecy and curse the princess' kingdom to doom. He decided to steal her away and secretly marry her, just to make sure, but she thought he was ugly and ended up killing him. Then the two kingdoms went to war, the princess's kingdom lost, and she ended up being forced to marry the prince's younger brother. (Who was king by then, so yeah.)

I hope I did this right.

The prince's younger brother was never a more sorrier sight. His new wife had terrible and unpredictable tantrums. She yelled and lamented on everything she could possibly complain on. Thus, the poor prince tore at his hair out of frustration and screeched his protests. The princess scowled disapprovingly, "Imagine being cooped up in a silly room for all my life and what did I get when I was freed? A grouchy old man! Huh! A princess's dream."

One day, the younger brother decided to plot a plan, to kill his unforgivable, tantrum-strung, wife. As they both sat under an acaccia tree and drank tea, he paid a servant plenty, in order to poison his wife; the servant agreed quickly. He brought out the second batch of tea, but switched the poisoned one around, unknowingly. The king died; the wife rejoiced. She became queen, married no one and is happy to be alone.

One day, a young man decided to create a plot to kill the monstrous, tyrranical king. He gathered his allies under the acaccia tree. They paid one of the servants of the castle to poison the king; the servant agreed quickly, as he had experienced firsthand the tyranny of the king. He brought out the second batch of tea, but accidentally switched the poisoned cup around, and the prince, the land's only hope for a peaceful kindgom, was slain instead. When the man and his allies heard this, they were furious and stormed the castle, only to find that the evil king had fled.

One day, a young man created a plot to woo the popular girl. He gathered his friends into the gym. They snuck into her sleepover after convincing her father they were friends of hers--they were dressed in drag--and in a pillowfight accidentally knocked off his wig. When the popular girl saw this, she fled her house, leaving four boys in dresses standing alone in the middle of a room.
