New Recruit?

There comes a point in every tale where somebody, the hero or villain or some poor minor character, and they belatedly realize that they have suffered an astonishing bout of genre blindness... and are now thoroughly... completely..
Absolutely... screwed.

And unfortunately... that is where you are right now. What did you do? Did you read from the book of forbidden secrets in the hidden Library? Did you snatch the idol from the dusty cobweb covered altar and not swap it with an appropriately weighted bag of sand? Did you split up to investigate the mysterious sound in the abandoned castle? You find yourself unable to remember. Which is probably bad.

And are you the hero? The villain? An early casualty to show the threat posed by the monster of the week?

Well that's why we're here. Because- hero, villain, or casualty- you're in the story and that's a dangerous place to be.
