[UA] RE: Interesting plotline generator

[Mario Magallanes]

"A bumbling dance instructor, a wind-up music store worker, and a
kleptomaniac scuba diver disguise themselves as each other."

Yeah, this is obvious.

"A discriminating animal trainer goes on a blind date with an activist."

The trainer only trains lycanthropes, to see if he can make some
use of them. The activist belongs to a radical ecologist group, and
wants freedom for all the little animals. When she has a chance, she
freeds the lycanthropes. Trouble ensues...

"A chiropractor and a trio of hot-shot witches discover an ancient
burial ground."

This is easy. A fleshworker and three pornomancers strike a deal: The
fleshworker uses his Chameleon power to help them win some siggy
charges, and they help him to look for the remains of a long-dead Adept;
he wants to assimilate the remains in his body in order to gain control
of an Unspekeable Servant. Trouble is (among other things) the site of
the burial is haunted...

"A sniper sends a mailbomb to the quirky daughter of a droid in
someone's mind."

Rumor is that there is a rogue clockwork running loose; worse enough, it
has learned to reproduce itself. The rumors are false, created carefully
by a cliomancer to lure an enemy into a trap. But the story is already
out of control: The New Inquisition has teams looking for this
clockwork, dukes are searching every corner and The Sleepers are mad to
stop this nonsense.  Chaos ensues.

"A couple of witches are found bound and gagged."

Somebody surprised two pornomancers, tied them up, and raped them,
draining their charges. Concerned relatives hire a P.I. (maybe one of
the characters) to locate the rapist. They don't know that the Cult is
already looking for him. The rapist is a victim of the Woman in Red who
has gone totally nuts. He wants nothing but having sex with adepts, and
somehow has learned to absorb the magick and use it to keep erections.


"A couple of doctors hide from their oppressors in a dangerous alley."

The doctors worked for a cult leader, and they were forced to perform...
bizarre operations, to say the least. They ran away, and ended with The
New Inquisition. Of course, Alex Abel wants to know what is happening,
so he sends back the doctors along with one of his teams. They discover
a cult of Lovecraftian maniacs. They are trying to create a Shoggoth
using a modified Unspekeable Servant Ritual, the corpse of an elefant
and a lot of eyes. Nothing happens, of course (well, except that stinks
a lot) and the cultist and The New Inquisition (and probably some law
enforcement agents, as well) engage in a big shootout

"A scuba diver cheats on his girlfriend, a cocky debutante at the
beach."

This is probably the same scuba diver from the first line, since he
seems to be fond of this sort of things.

"A husband and a gang of moronic limo drivers teach everyone a valuable
lesson in an Alaskan village."

UA meets Northern Exposure! The limo drivers attract young people with
their style of life (you know, road, sex and limos) and when winter
arrives, abandon them in the forest and wait for the Wendigo to eat
them, in order to ensure the sun will rise next year. But this time, the
wife of The Coronel ran away with them, and The Coronel (a former Marine
who is totally nuts) wants to have a small shotgun talk with them. So he
recruits his neighbours, and it's time for a crazy hunt. Oh, and beware
of the howlings in the dark...


"A gynecologist breaks into the home of a hypochondriac in a dangerous
alley."

The hypocondriac is rumored to live in the House of Renunciation: When
he develops a new, imaginary illness, that illness appears somewhere in
the world. For Vaughan Wendell, this is truly shit, because no one in
the Occult Underground has been capable to cure him from the Wendell
Syndrome. A crazy man told him the story of the hypochondriac and now he
wants to settle scores with that bastard; he hopes that somehow he could
get rid of his illness. He offers big bucks to the PC if they get the
Ritual of Renunciation for him. Easier said than done...
