I think the basic idea here is pretty cool, and I know it's already fine as it is, but I think it could be better. If you guys (and maybe me) could get together, choose some of the best writers, and put some serious effort and detail into it, you/we could make something really, really funny.

Put some more filler between the options and make the story *SLIGHTLY* more logical and realistic. Ridiculously impossible stuff happening is funnier if it suddenly happens in a setting that was believable before. If ludicrous things happen every time, they start to lose their effect.

Make the options even more creative and funny but also relevant, like say, 3 or 4 options that will actually do something about the situation and one option that's just totally off-the-wall irrelevant. And stop offering the same options over and over.

You guys are doing great! I know this topic is a frantic, WoT-style option story and you probably don't wanna slow it down or put lots of effort into it, instead just having casual fun, so I'll leave this one back to you guys. But if anyone wants to try or even think about the above ideas, let me know!

Again, great topic!

EDIT: ...went to Mush Man's house. The deputy said, "I'm tired of driving all the way back to the station. Let's just dump him here at this guy's house until he wakes up." They throw Waluigi onto Mush Man's lawn and drove away.

Waluigi woke up, suddenly finding himself at Mush Man's house. He went to the door and knocked, but there was no answer. He checked the door and found it was unlocked, so he went in. He was shocked to find...

A) Mush Man sorely grieving over the loss of his faithful goldfish.

B) Mush Man putting on a Barney suit.

C) Steven Seagal putting on a Mush Man suit.

D) Mush Man holding a bloody knife and standing over a corpse, which he tosses the knife on and says, "It wasn't me! He stabbed himself!"

E) Mush Man holding a bloody knife and standing over a corpse, angrily screaming, "NEVER EAT MY BURRITOS!!!" at it.

F) Mush Man sitting in a pentagram in the lotus position with skulls and candles around him, chanting in Latin.

G) Mush Man's corpse impaled to the wall on a spear with the words "YoU'rE neXt, WAluIGi!!" written in blood underneath him.

H) Metal Mario with a shotgun.
