Fortunately/Unfortunately

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately, the vegetation sprouted from spores off the alien spaceship and the new growth looked very suspicious.


((We did have an alien spaceship pages back, right? Or was it just a spaceship? Does anyone care about continuity? ))

[Movie Aristotle]

Fortunately, with so much happening lately, no one remembered the spaceship, so the vegetation didn’t cause a panic.

[waggawerewolf27]

Unfortunately not only did the sprouting vegetation look weird, but the "aliens" in the spaceship seemed suspiciously familiar....

[Blackstar]

Fortunately the "Aliens" just came, harvested the vegetation, and left.

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately, even though the aliens were benevolent, their spaceship engines emitted a high pitch whine that drove all the dogs in the neighborhood into a frenzy of barking.

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately the so-called aliens, themselves, were so frightened of dogs barking at them, that they crashed the space craft before they got too far.

[Cleander]

Unfortunately, the electrical unit of their spacecraft exploded into a giant, semi-sentient ball of flame upon impact.

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately, when the mess was cleared up & the remains of the occupants of the spacecraft recovered, the so-called "aliens" were found to be the missing astronauts & prisoners who went missing some tens of pages back.

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately, they'd all lost their memories.

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately, it was just as well their memories were lost, so that they could not spoil the ending of the story.

[Movie Aristotle]

Unfortunately, the authors of this thread didn’t know what the end of the story was either.

[Cleander]

Fortunately, the aforementioned authors contained enough creativity collectively to come up with the beginning of a new one.

[waggawerewolf27]

Unfortunately at least one of the authors was distracted by other pressing matters such as droughts, koala habitats & dwindling cattle stock.

[Meltintalle]

Fortunately, koalas sounded interesting to the next contributor.

[waggawerewolf27]

Unfortunately chewing eucalyptus leaves, so beloved of koala diets & sniffing eucalyptus oil infused steam, is savoured only by those with heavy colds.

[Meltintalle]

Fortunately, scientists and entrepreneurs love a good challenge, and finding new uses for eucalyptus sounds like just the ticket!
