Tightrope walk up a mountainside zipline, with a passenger coming down every so often. Then, should he make it to the top, the Spiked Slalom is deployed for Malvolio to swing through as he rides the zipline back down.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.

They’re wheeling down a great cannon, now. His plan is ludicrous, but have the other stunts been any less so? He’s set them up and knocked them down, one by one! Bring on the cannon! He intends to be fired through 20 panes of soft, downy feathers (compressed into a sheet, I presume?), through a waterfall of protective foam (a foamfall, rather than a waterfall, in truth!), through a gauntlet of commemorative Malvolio ties (sharpened and deadly, a reflection of the commercialization of his stunts?) - and all this while bound in a protective safety harness (what a farce: at the speed he’ll be travelling, they may as well be chains - they certainly won’t make his landing any softer if he doesn’t escape in time!) If - and only if - he escapes from his bindings, he can then pull his parachute and sail gracefully to the ground. If not, well…

Not for the first time, I feel a pang of pride watching him up there, bowing and mugging for the audience. Oh, not because I lay any sort of familial claim to him - I should be so lucky! - but rather the common pride of mankind. What a joy to share a world, to share a species, with such a man! Good luck, Malvolio, though you won’t need it. I believe in you!

The fuse is lit, the drumbeats reach a thrilling crescendo and…

He’s off!



1d100+3 vs 105 = :gonk:83:gonk:



The next twenty minutes pass in a daze, a hazing of weeping, screaming fans and the sound of sirens. I push past a fleeing crowd as through molasses, unwilling to turn away from him now, in his hour of need. They’ve brought excavators out now, and lighting rigs, to try and extricate him from his grav- no, I musn’t think that way. Pull through, Malvolio, pull through.



I spot his motion and I cheer, tears running down my face, and soon everyone is cheering for him, clapping for this man who risked his life for our entertainment! You’re not a failure, Malvolio, you’ve given your all for us! You’ve earned your rest, so take your time to recoup! The world will wait for your return!

And in the meantime, they’ll have someone new to thrill them.

You’ve inspired me since childhood, Malvolio, and soon it will be time to throw my hat into the ring.

The world does not know me yet, but they will!

They will call me:

THE END!?

(It is indeed the end for now! I intend to do a follow up at some point down the line, but ideally when I’m a little less busy with work and three other CYOAs! This was always intended to be short (hell, I’m surprised we got as far as we did!) but it took quite a bit longer than expected between updates. Thanks for sticking around with me and especially thanks for your incredibly ridiculous stunts! Malvolio wouldn’t have been as Great without you!)
