[SUBMITTED] Rewrite the Stars
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2018 9:54 pmUnderlined phrases are my own comments & notes & orange words are changes from the previous draft. If just the option & its number are orange, then a whole new option has been introduced.
Title: Rewrite the Stars
Validity: Must not be an atheist nation, high primitiveness
Description: When @@RANDOMNAME@@ was applying for a job, @@HE@@ was asked to identify both @@HIS@@ @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ zodiac and @@HIS@@ Dàgúorén zodiac. Days later, @@HE@@ was denied due to having an "incompatible zodiac."
Option 1: "Look, we have a lot of Oxen in our company, we don't goat space for a filthy Goat!" says the half-Dàgúorén human resource manager who pushed to deny the application. "Do you have any idea what happened last time we had a Goat in our building? They must've been some sort of serial killer — they never explained anything they did, even when they came into work all bloody. I don't know about you, but zodiacs are perfectly reasonable to factor in during the hiring process. @@RANDOMNAME1@@ over there can go somewhere else if they don't like it."
Effect 1: one's zodiac sign matters more than skills in @@NAME@@
Option 2: "Eh? What kind of idiotic logic is that?" questions the denied citizen, wearing a blood-stained apron. "Firstly, ignore the blood, please. Secondly, some of my best friends are Oxen, and we get along just fine, except for where to eat, talking about fashion, discussing sports, our favorite colors... well, maybe 90% of things we disagree on. But still, we're best friends, as tight as can be! If I can pull that off, there's absolutely no reason why I can't do it in the workplace too! It's unreasonable for my birthday to affect what job I can get."
Effect 2: incompatible zodiacs are often forced together in hopes of becoming friends
Option 3: "@@LEADER@@, I predict that you'll drink poisoned liquids if I don't stop you!" a fortune teller suddenly yells before swatting away at the bottle you were drinking from. "Ahah! Thallium. How did I know, you ask? Well, I was checking out my horoscope, and I was told that I would save you by doing that. Don't you see? Zodiac signs aren't just some sort of superstitious idiocy, but they ... even govern our fates and lives! For the glory of our nation, we must force all citizens to have daily horoscope readings to ensure their luck."
Effect 3: Blackacre assassins disguise themselves as fortune tellers to convince their targets to walk into traps
Option 4: "These accursed faiths!" yells @@RANDOMNAME@@, a highly secular @@MAN@@ who blames religion for almost everything. "Ever noticed how many problems are caused by these spiritual and religious conflicts? Let's be honest here, has faith ever provided anything useful for the nation? We're always panicking over nothing, for Violet's sake! We'd be better off as a fully atheist nation, with nobody believing in idiocy like this."
Effect 4: no fortune teller foresees the government coming for them
- Code: Select all
