And You Thought It Was a Game: Difference between revisions

* In ''[http://clanofthecats.com/ Clan of the Cats]'', the main character is a [[Shape Shifter|shape-shifting witch]], who can transform into a black panther. After an incident during a vacation with her [[The Ditz|ditzy half-sister]], she runs off into the woods in a distressed state. Shortly after, a black panther is found hiding in a crawlspace under the house they're staying in, and The Ditz crawls in there to comfort her half-sister. After spending most of the night trying to cheer up her half-sister, she finally finds out that it's a REAL black panther, who has just escaped from a private zoo...

** Similarly, in one of the books by Laura Ingalls-Wilder, her mother goes out in the dark to see to the cows, and finds instead a bear. But, believing it to be her cow, she swats it on the rump. This leads to her ordering Laura to "go back inside--now" in an effective lesson on quick obedience.

* ''[[The Wotch]]'': Anne [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2006-01-30 mistakes an actual attack] for a training exercise.

* ''[[Captain SNES]]'' did this in the 2008 Halloween series, with Alex refusing to believe that the murders around him were real initially (they were in a "murder mystery" simulation) but even then, {{spoiler|it wasn't REALLY real as it was [[All Just a Dream]].}}

* ''[[Homestuck]]''. Where to begin... Not only is SBURB's true purpose to {{spoiler|create universes by sacrificing the host planet, Earth is not the first planet this has happened on...}}

* In the ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' chapter "From The Forest She Came", Annie is trying to convince Kat to talk to her by staging contrived situations in which they must work together to defeat a threat, and Kat isn't buying it. When an [[Eldritch Abomination]] emerges from the water tank, she's quite impressed and wonders how Annie created it. Then she notices that Annie is terrified. {{spoiler|Luckily, it turns out to be Lindsey, their new guidance counsellor}}.
