You come across an odd sight as you're driving through the middle of nowhere: an old-timey roadshow. You didn't realize such things still existed. The place looks sketchy, but your curiosity gets the better of you and you pull over. There's a large sign at the entrance that proclaims its name: "Professor Vargo’s Traveling Wonder Show!" You enter the venue and see various tents, trailers, and slapdash buildings with signs in front of them advertising bearded ladies, wolf boys, a haunted house, a flea circus, acrobats, and more. You are just about to leave when you notice a heavily decorated trailer with a large sign on top that reads "Madame Zorya Knows All, Tells All!" You walk around to the back of the trailer and are astonished to see a living person: Madame Zorya herself, you assume. You feel drawn to the woman. She's clearly a fortune-teller and not an ordinary modern psychic. Can this place actually be real? The woman has seen you, and you figure you've come this far. You have to find out what this is all about. And how can you possibly pass up this bizarre opportunity to learn your fate?

*Gwendolyn is an eccentric but charming oddity. You and she go to the same high school.*

*You see her on the first day of the fall semester. You decide to casually walk past her and see what happens.*

(You think Molly is cute but you've never gotten up the nerve to talk to her. You're surprised when she speaks to you as you're walking past her in the school library.)

*You sit next to Pualani in chemistry class. You haven't talked to her much, but today she's super excited about something and is apparently eager to tell everyone.*

Talia has been your closest friend forever. You both have prom dates, but you were both stood up.

After being abducted and probed by aliens, you wake up to find yourself in the middle of a cornfield. You stumble out of the field and spot a barn in the distance. When you reach the barn you go inside to get out of the hot sun and come face-to-face with the proverbial farmer's daughter.

She looks so familiar, but you just can't think of where you've seen her. She's just finishing up a set at The Blue Ember in Portland, Oregon, when she spots you walk in. With a quick, bright smile, she makes her way over to your table, her saxophone case slung over her shoulder.

The moment you see her sitting in the corner of the restaurant, that morbid children's rhyme pops into your head. How does it go? "Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother 40 whacks...." How does it go from there? So this is the "Liz" your friend Annie set you up on a date with. Unbelievable. Well, maybe you can at get some juicy details about the murders. Or at least find out how the rest of the rhyme goes.

You had just blown your nose into some toilet paper when suddenly you found yourself in what looks like a highly advanced spaceship. You can see earth out a window. What the?

You’ve recently been captured during Imperator Caesar Divi Filius’s campaigns in Gaul and made an assistant gardener in the household of Octavia, his sister. It’s the year 728 AUC. As you work in the garden, you suddenly notice a teenage girl standing nearby, watching you. You don’t know who she is; there are many children in the household, but she’s clearly not a servant—her fine clothing and bearing make that obvious.

*Dale is drunk again. He orders you to bring him another beer. You can't take it anymore.*

You are near the peak of Everest when the weather turns bad. You are alone on the mountain with your sherpa because no one else was foolish enough to attempt the climb after the peak spring window had closed. But you were determined to have the mountain to yourself and not be one of dozens climbing the mountain in a single file line.

What ho! It's Sherlock Holmes, in drag! Because of course it it.

*The end times are here. Evil has befallen the world. Abandon all hope. There is no escape.*

*You are a doctor who lives in Galilee in the year 28 AD. You have been told of a woman who needs your help. You have no idea what you're walking into. The woman before you is clearly ill in a way that you have never seen before. You are truly terrified for the first time in your life.*

*You are at a dance club and notice someone who looks very much like a log. Curious, you approach the log-thing.*
