Disaster Dominoes/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"Dwarf A throws a tantrum, and punches Dwarf B. A recovers happily, but B throws a tantrum and smashes the butcher's workshop to bits. The butcher, C, tantrums and destroys the table of the closest noble, D. D tantrums, starting fights with three other dwarves--A, C, and E. All of them tantrum, and C is taken into custody. E gets busy and smacks B. Meanwhile, C is killed by the hammerdwarf, accidentally or otherwise. C's friends, F, G, H, I, J, and K, all tantrum and do other nasty things. Everybody eventually tantrums and the fortress production grinds to a halt. Everybody starves, throws themselves into a volcano, or otherwise dies."
—The Dwarf Fortress wiki explains how your fortress is likely to die.

"Running over to the choking Lucas, Nana smacked him in the back with her hammer, forcing the half-eaten pastry out and across the lunchroom, where it hit Luigi in the face.

"Aah! I'm blind!" he screamed, disoriented.

In a panic, he ran until he bumped into Mario, causing him throw a tray full of Super Mushrooms in the air, where they eventually landed on several Pikmin eating lunch with Olimar. This caused most of them to grow to gigantic proportions and stampede off in fear of what just happened. Seeing this, Fox spit out his hot coffee on Falco, who, in pain, ran in search for some water. As he ran around crazily, he accidentally stepped on Bowser's tail, causing him to set off a volley of fire in anger. Marth, Ike, and Link were discussing the fine art of swordplay when, all of a sudden, Link's tunic caught fire. In horror, he did the craziest dance to try and put it out, but only succeeded in setting Ike ablaze. Marth, not sure what to do, grabbed Squirtle to try and put him out, but missed and hit Donkey Kong, destroying his and Diddy's Super Supreme Banana Splits. Furious at their drenched lunch, the two apes threw banana peels in all directions, most hitting the floor. Samus just happened to be walking by with some cake and slipped on one, falling forward and slamming the dessert into Zelda's face. Fuming, she picked up what was left of it and tried to smash it into the bounty hunter's face, but she also slipped on a banana peel and fell over backwards on a walking cardboard box, sending it flying. While the box landed on Ness' head, Snake emerged and tried to get back under it, but the impact with Zelda set off one of his grenades, causing a huge explosion. Left with only a portion of the singed box, Snake stumbled backwards, hitting a vacant Jigglypuff. Wolf, who was laughing at the whole thing, got smacked in the stomach by her and fell backwards onto a table where Peach, Yoshi, and King Dedede were having pizza. His fall tipped the table and launched the food through the air until it smacked R.O.B. in the face. Short-circuiting, he ran amok, unintentionally attacking Mr. Game & Watch, who retaliated by using Judge. He managed to get a nine, but missed and hit Toon Link, sending him sailing across the room and into Captain Falcon, who lost his balance and shoved a loitering Ganondorf to the ground. Enraged, he tried to punch him for revenge, but Falcon grabbed an unsuspecting Sonic, using him for a shield. The punch connected, and Sonic slid across the floor, knocking over Meta Knight, whose sword was flung into the air. The blade stabbed Pit's wing to a table, causing him to scream bloody murder. His screech happened to be right in Lucario's ear, who punched him as hard as he could to get him to shut up. As he tried to regain his balance from the attack, Pit ran full force into Wario, who'd just finished eating a buffet of onions and garlic...

In the distance, one would've heard a faint explosion, accompanied by a mushroom cloud of noxious fumes.
