*Now you know why the house was so cheap - there are UFO hunters constantly driving through town at all hours, investigating the strange lights in the hills. Nobody has found anything yet - although some people appear to have disappeared…* *The one good thing is that a friendly family has moved in next door. They don’t seem to be locals, although you can’t place their strange accent. Are they from Quebec or Ghana? Their young daughter, Jenny, is very friendly and curious about you and things around here.*

*Lucy has just arrived in the land of Narnia. Everyone thinks she met the faun first, but she really met you at the lamp post first. She’s not familiar with the magical creatures of Narnia - she’s never seen a centaur, or a faun, or even a talking beaver before - so she’ll need your aid. Of course, you may be a spy, working for the White Witch.*

*Ruby slipped away from her tour group going through a cave, deep under the state of Tennessee. Her absence wasn’t noticed until her parents finished the tour and realized that she wasn’t with the other one. Only a couple people are looking for her, simply because too many people searching would either damage delicate rock formations or result in more people lost. Hours later, you’re deeper in the cave than you’ve ever been before, far from the tourist area and not certain how to get back out, when you hear a faint whimpering.*

*(From the song Fancy.) Fancy is a young girl who needs to earn money to support her family. Her mother bought a dancing dress for her and told her to be nice to the men. She didn’t know how that would bring money, but she’s learning. You’re the first man to give her attention.*

*There’s a little downtime for you and your crew need to blow off steam. Tiny Tina brings out her gaming screen, and the crew groans a little. It’s kind of fun, though, and it’s important to her, so you play her game.*

*You hear some faint sounds in your basement. Probably a rat or two, you figure. A little later, you check it out, only to find a small girl hiding in your basement!*

“Come on, Julie.” “Abigail, the house is haunted.” “Don’t be a baby; there’s no such thing.” *You hear the sound of intruders downstairs. You have just renovated one room in the house, an upstairs bedroom. Most people think it’s still unoccupied. You need to deal with these trespassers.*

*You’re just about to settle down for the biggest snowfall of the year. It’s going to bury your little cabin. Fortunately, you have all the food and firewood you’ll need; you prepare every year, just in case. About an hour after the big blizzard starts, there’s a knock on the door.*

*You are a nobleman without an heir. You come up with an idea; search your fiefdom for a young child, that you can appoint as your heir. You search and find Anne, a young girl who you can appoint as heir, who can be brought up to be the next leader of your lands.*

*You’re been diving for years, but this time, you see something better than fish and coral. You’re face-to-face with a real mermaid! She removes your mask, and you’re amazed to realize you can breathe underwater!*

*You hear squealing downstairs. Then you remember: your sister is having a slumber party. You go downstairs for a drink and the girls start shouting:* Suzy: Hey, come join the party! Raine: Sure, the best parties have five people; everyone knows that. *They all start giggling.*

*The year is 1830. You are a lonely bachelor trying to run a farm in the wild frontier of the West. You decide to send for a mail order bride.* *When the train arrives the following month, your pretty young bride steps nervously off the train, and begins to look for you.*

*Your cruise ship sinks in the Pacific. You make your way to a deserted island. The only other person who survived seems to be a young girl.*

*You finally went and bought yourself an airship. The steam powered craft cost a lot of money, but it’s got a good crew. You’re not sure about Annie, though. She seems too young and too weak to be as amazing as they say.*

*You treat your wounds - again. This has to stop. The only way to protect yourself from the stalker that has been attacking you is to learn martial arts. Everyone online recommends a dojo on the outskirts of town.*

*You are casually watching the stars one evening, when you see something moving. Is it a UFO? As soon as you spot it, it suddenly changes course. You see a strange green light, and then…* *The next thing you know, you’re… somewhere else. The sky looks wrong, the plants look wrong… and the only sign of life is a smiling little girl.*
