Deflection: Stop the Event above you

[CJC]

This is a new thread for The Oldest Game. The rules are the same as the old version.

Each poster must attempt to defeat or delay the event of the previous post.

1st Poster
I am the cupcake on the kitchen counter.

2nd Poster
I am the slippery knife that ruins the cupcake on the kitchen counter.

3rd Poster
I am the flex-o-grip handle that prevents the slippery knife from falling out of the baker's grip.

4th Poster
I am the corporate cutbacks that force the manufacturers to use cheaper materials, sabotaging the flex-o-grip handle.

5th Poster
I am the teenager that accuses her father the CEO of profiteering, thus preventing the corporate cutbacks.

6th Poster
I am the cupcake that placates the teenager so that she does not pick a fight.



And so on like that.
Here's one to start with:

I am the fire that burns at the center of camp.

[NewJourneysFire]

I am Jason Forhees carrying a pale of water.

[CJC]

I am the hole in the pail of water, keeping the water from being carried.

[CJC]

Well... I killed this game pretty quickly. God, I'm like the grim reaper of conversations.

Anyway...


I am the cork that keeps the water from escaping the pail.

I am the rust that disintegrates the pail.

Meh, this line of thought isn't working out... let's start over.



I am the ice on the concrete, that makes driving dangerous.



...Actually, my first statement was pretty profound.

I am the grim reaper of conversations that kills Jason Voorhees.

[mrz84]

I am the writer, that brings Jason back from the dead with yet another plot device that would be normally impossible for anybody else.

[CJC]

I am the disenfranchised audience that has tired of remakes.
