Actually, why do I really like the idea of young Jeff Goldblum as Denner so much? Because I do.

Funnily, a young Jeff Goldblum has one of my favorite lines in cinema. In Annie Hall, when he inexplicably calls his guru and says "I forgot my mantra." I love that line.

To add another layer of irony to this tangential conversation, Denner would never speak that line, as he's incapable of forgetting...

Denner also couldn't say one of my favorite Jeff Goldblum lines: "We've never been good husbands, have we? Of course, I have a good excuse. I'm part gay."

So long as he can still say "Nature will ah... ah... ah... Nature will find a way." Then we'll be good.

And now I'm imagining him explaining chaos theory to one of the women of the M:EM.

Maybe Alessa.

That would, once again, end poorly for Denner.

Like most of his interactions with her. At the very least it'd be fun though.

To be fair, we've yet to see ANYTHING end well for Denner. Poor Denner...

I will admit, after having seen the title, I was mildly disappointed it wasn't set to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.

I updated the code again with a prompt I'm actually pretty proud of!

By the way, did someone delete my other prompt? Not that I blame you, but I found it funny...

I love it, and the $concept library. :D

Let me see if I can get it to come up:

Quote:
A baby Centaur is left on Asher's doorstep! Now he will have to figure out what Centaur babies eat fast, lest he end up on the menu!


Dammit Asher not EVERYTHING is a nightmare horror!

Quote:
Aloise Hartley attempts to explain how to create An Æther Vent to Kimberley Talon , but just creates a massive misunderstanding in the process.


And we have a winner!

...

Oh. Oh no. o_o Oooooh no. Aloise what are you doing why do you know about Aether Vents oh nooooooo D:

Also, I don't know what happened to that prompt :/ It seems to be gone. And the Musical Episode is in there twice with slight variations, weirdly. Hrm. Maybe it got lost when they were reorganized?

Musical was always there twice: to create it, two of the basic prompts were nested between the starting and ending tags. It's at a lower % than, say, dance-offs because of that. I considered restructuring it to a [prompt] calling version, but ultimately left it.

Sri Hara attempts to explain poetry to Raiker Venn , but the arrival of Kahr-ret-Taris complicates matters.

This seems unnecessary, Sri.

Quote:
Aloise Hartley attempts to explain the "Theros Twister" position to Illarion Vale , but just creates a massive misunderstanding in the process.

Ya think?

  • Moved "Explain" up the list
  • fixed the erroneous space in the "explain" call (I hope)
  • Reorganized the % listing of concepts. for instance, since many artifacts on our artifacts list are/would be Legendary, "how to create [artifact]" is now a lower %.
  • Added a couple new concepts for Planeswalkers to explain (a regular one and an easter egg)
  • Created $conceptclean, which doesn't call Protagonist or Antagonist and has a list suitable for pondering, rather than explaining to. Not sure how useful it is, since it's not that different from $concept

Quote:
Lukas Harran explores Jakkard, where he becomes insanely jealous of Chardis of the Dual-Walkers. Chardis of the Dual-Walkers tries to calm Lukas Harran down, which proves difficult as Chardis of the Dual-Walkers attempts to win the heart of .

This one's here as a bug report. Not sure what could be causing a "little man who wasn't there"

Quote:
Gruff attempts to explain economics to The Eightfold Lotus, but The Eightfold Lotus just won't listen.

The generator seems to think gruff isn't so lost and confused after all.

Quote:
Denner Fabellian attempts to explain where he last saw Alessa Rehn to The Duchess, but it goes poorly.

Dun dun DUN!

Quote:
Denner Fabellian begins traveling with The Duchess. Together, they travel to a strange distortion in the Blind Eternities--a phenomenon known as Chaotic Aether--outside of Aralheim

Poor Denner.

Quote:
Lourima Viiran converses with a newly ascended Planeswalker: a Gigantic Dwarf!

Let the jokes begin.

Quote:
A gilded lotus has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Aloise Hartley planeswalks to Zent in search of it.

Oh, this bodes well (note: this came up directly AFTER the next prompt or I wouldn't have recorded it.)

Quote:
Aloise Hartley chases Illarion Vale to a strange distortion in the Blind Eternities--a phenomenon known as Chaotic Aether--outside of Keter, the miniature plane Segovia, and Ihn Gallad. Upon landing on Ihn Gallad, she buys flowers for the other 'Walker.

Aloise seems bad at hints.

Quote:
Vasilias, Lord of Ariva attempts to explain cheese to Renn Winmoore.

"Have you no culture, ghostling?! My servitors must possess impeccable taste."

  • Fixed a bug I caused in concepts causing literal "#protagonist" calls.

Quote:
The Staff of Endless Memory has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Aria planeswalks to Regatha in search of it. But Aria gets more than she bargained for when she interrupts a battle between Aloise Hartley and Sri Hara and Illarion Vale .

This is becoming ever more of a soap opera, generator.

Maral, Celestial Wright attempts to explain how to pronounce "Maral, Celestial Wright" to Illarion Vale, but Illarion Vale just won't listen.

I could see this...

Quote:
Lia Xin begins traveling with Raleris, the Lorekeeper. Together, they is deceived by Raiker Venn

Verb form not withstanding, this could prove interesting.

Quote:
Raiker Venn seemingly interrupts a conspiracy between Vasilias, Lord of Ariva and , but secretly is working to oppose Lia Xin on Zhiran's Academy.

Apparently, the Generator wants Raiker Venn to set his poetic sights on Lia Xin. Poor Lia Xin.

Quote:
Raiker Venn begins traveling with Aloise Hartley. Can they stick together despite their differences?

The potential for horror at Aloise's moment of realization here is really delicious.

Quote:
Huinn, Last of the Darkwings attempts to explain art to Maral, Celestial Wright, but just creates a massive misunderstanding in the process.

I would imagine his idea of art would, yes.

Quote:
Aloise Hartley attempts to explain the importance of a Fish to Alessa Rehn, but she realizes Alessa Rehn couldn't care less!

And that's just an adorable little story.

Interesting match-up. Probably won't work out, ultimately.

Quote:
The Eightfold Lotus attempts to win the heart of a newly ascended Planeswalker: a Goblin Monk!

That, I guess, could... :huh:

Quote:
Raef begins traveling with Kahr-ret-Taris. Together, they travel to Shiv

I can see it.

Quote:
Kimberley Talon attempts to explain a youthful indiscretion to Aloise Hartley, but is hampered when she interrupts a romantic meeting between Asher and Syl of the Dual-Walkers .

"Yeah, it looked kinda like that!"

Quote:
The Calling Bell has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Raiker Venn planeswalks to The Ocean of Thought in search of it.

Probably best if he not find it...

Quote:
Fisco Vane, the Shark planeswalks to Jakkard. There, he joins forces with the.... Oso del Diablo!.

This...is frightening!

"Well, it sounded cool, dear brother.

Clade must grudgingly accept the help of Ellia the Endbringer.

Now THAT'S a story that really wants expanding...

Quote:
Aliavelli is under attack! Fisco Vane, the Shark must gather allies such as Sri Hara before it's too late, but he is hampered when he acquires the artifact known as The Black Grail from Beryl, the Heart-Scarred.

Surprisingly plausible, I suppose. Hmm. Sri Hara and Fisco Vane, huh?

Quote:
Lukas Harran begins traveling with Denner Fabellian.

Soon, Generator. Soon.

Quote:
The Eightfold Lotus chases Aloise Hartley to Ihn Gallad and Amaran. Upon landing on Amaran, he buys flowers for the other 'Walker.

Aah, isn't that sweet?

Sri Hara attempts to explain where to find Maral, Celestial Wright to Morgan of Voor, but just creates a massive misunderstanding in the process.

Okay, I know I've done a ton of these today, but...

They're fun.

Quote:
Raleris needs help interpreting an ancient scroll, and Ellia the Endbringer is the only person who can help. Which is unfortunate since Ellia the Endbringer attempts to win the heart of Denner Fabellian.

That's just all kinds of gruesome.

Quote:
Daneera planeswalks to Arbagoth. There, she interrupts a conspiracy between Asher and Raiker Venn.

Seriously, guys, isn't that place bad enough as it is?

Quote:
The Black Grail has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Ellia the Endbringer planeswalks to Cridhe, home of the great World Tree in search of it. Can she get to it before Zhiran ?

Hopefully not! We all know what happened the first time.

Quote:
Cara Holis seeks revenge upon Aloise Hartley and Beryl, the Heart-Scarred on Aldis.

I guess they should have invited her to the party...

Quote:
Raiker Venn attempts to explain that last night was a huge mistake to Beryl, the Heart-Scarred, but the arrival of Alessa Rehn complicates matters.

:dance:

I decided to run a few rounds of this for fun, and got two worthy to share.

Quote:
It's a high stakes game of cards on the first sphere of Phyrexia between Lia Xin , Fisco Vane, the Shark, and Aloise Hartley . But it is the last hand between Lia Xin and Fisco Vane, the Shark, and there might be more on the line than anyone suspects!

"What's the quiet girl flailing her arms for?"
"Beats me."

Quote:
Raiker Venn is deceived by Beryl, the Heart-Scarred.

A rare moment of victory for Beryl!

Beryl biting off more than she can chew.

The context behind that is... substantially more disturbing.
