Trope Adventure!
« on: October 01, 2010, 07:52:23 am »

Let us play a game.  Also, let me get some writing exercise in.  In this game we will use TV Tropes' random function to pick some tropes to start grafting a story together.  I will post three random Tropes from which we shall vote upon one Trope, and suggest methods of implementing that Trope.  Then I'll try and make it cohesive.

Shit is likely to get weird.  Possibly time shit as well, if we get that trope.

First post is an exception, as we need three Tropes to start.  Here's a selection of nine from the randomiser.  Once we've voted on three starting Tropes and suggested implementations, I'll start storytelling.

Additional Rule:  These have to be Tropes and not actual series, movies, books etc.  'Dwarf Fortress' is not a Trope.  'Our Elves are Different' is a Trope.  In other words, nothing copyrighted.  We're not doing fan fiction here.

Grey Eyes
Arms Fair
Just a Stupid Accent
Eyes Do Not Belong There
Horse of a Different Colour
Bearer of Bad News
Foo Fu
Face
Cowardly Sidekick

Okay, whatever you guys pick, this is just going to be weird.

Russia is simply taking an anti-Fascist stance against European Nazi products, they should be applauded. ¡No parmesan!

A being with a stupid accent, who's eyes do most certainly not belong there, and rides a horse of a different color.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.
