Parse the shouting man's Latin?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:20:17 GMT

J4p2w:

Shut up, Dylan.

Attempt to ascertain the reason for this conflict?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:19:28 GMT

J4p2w:

"SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!" yells the man with the gun before cracking the other upside the head with it.

The scarf man seems a bit dazed by the blow.

Try to find out just what's going on?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:15:07 GMT

J4p2w:

After excusing yourself, you find a weird blue box blocking the hall. It has a door facing your direction. On the other side you can see what appears to be a struggle between two men: one holding a gun, the other wearing a ridiculous scarf.

Ignore it and continue watching the play?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:05:29 GMT

J4p2w:

You hear a few gunshots and the sound eventually stops, but you just couldn't take your eyes off the stage. The play was just... so... brilliant.

It was the perfect day, the first of many.

Soon you restored the unity of The United States and successfully reconstructed the South. Aeons of peace and prosperity followed, where you continued to observe American happenings from your Moon base. Plotting your next return...

'''THE END... ?'''

Successfully clone a Tyrannosaurus Rex, graft machine guns onto its arms, and rampage around the city?

Frisbee your top hat onto the stage?

J4p2w:

That was rude.

You're impeached and exiled to a small Mongolian sewer system.

Watch the play.

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:55:54 GMT

J4p2w:

As expected, the play is wonderful.

However, at a certain point you hear some footsteps approaching from behind the balcony. As well as a fascinating "whooaam" "whoooam" noise.

Continue onward to the theatre?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:52:04 GMT

J4p2w:

Ah, the Ford Theatre!

You've enjoyed the performances here many a time, and tonight should be a grand affair!
Although you arrive a bit late, it's no matter. Everything is going right for Abraham Lincoln.

Life is good!

Take this opportunity to ride in gallantly on you noble steed, hacking your enemies to bits?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:43:36 GMT

J4p2w:

Unfortunately, this was all part of their plan. The orcs merely stopped to lure you in and finish this pursuit once and for all.

You managed to bring twenty-three and a half of the foul beasts down with you.

But you should have known that orcs love Jim Carey.

You are dead.

Take a stroll down your favorite streets?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:38:48 GMT

J4p2w:

Simply wonderful! The atmosphere is superb, the personal bodyguards don't even detract from the ambiance at all.

As your walking with your beloved wife, however, you notice a strange looking man. He has a ridiculously long scarf, untamed hair, a small buzzing gadget emitting a bizarre light, a wild look in his eyes.

He enters an unusual, blue, box-shaped thing on the side of the street- you could swear you'd never laid eyes on it before.

Conduct business as usual?

Everything goes normally, if a tad tense.

You're not going to let the past rile things up. Not when you're in such a fine mood!

Press onward? There's no way you're giving up this easily!

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:21:52 GMT

J4p2w:

Alas!

By some good fortune the orcs have come to a halt.

It seems as though they're arguing over the relevance of their inclusion in this narrative. Hell, there's not even been any time travel yet! It's 6:15 AM and this story isn't going anywhere. The hobbits they have aren't even for eating! Not even their legs! Even though they don't need those. And Dumb and Dumber is a '''''terrible''''' movie! Sorry, but honestly.

Pull out your trusty battleaxe and go hunt some orcs?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:06:51 GMT

J4p2w:

Axe in hand, you track the loathesome beasts through the forests for hours. They may be filthy, brutish monsters, but they run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them.

Tell Mary Todd how happy you're feeling?

J4p2w — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:01:14 GMT

J4p2w:

You greet "Good Morning!" to your wife, "I'm quite happy today for some reason!"

"Shhh, Abraham!" your wife hurredly silences, "You know saying things like that is bad luck."

"Oh, well... I was just remarking, you know..."

"Now you just stop that. I'm glad you're feeling less dreary than usual, but saying it plain outright like that is mighty bad luck. You're just asking for trouble."

As you're about to respond, she continues "Remember, we have plans tonight at the theatre, Our American Cousin is being performed. Should be a hoot! The General and his wife sadly won't be able to make it, but Major Rathbone and his fiancée Clara Harris accepted our invitation. Should be a lovely evening!"

Ah yes, it had slipped your mind. That really will be an excellent time. You wish your wife farewell for now and consider how to continue this wonderful day you've been having.

In front of the first lady and the crowd of onlookers you stride boldly onto the surface of the untill recently water filled pool.

J4p2w:

Ahhhh... that was satisfying.
It's not like he didn't deserve it. Showing up to the most important ceremony in American government '''drunk'''?!

He was asking for that broken nose...

J4p2w:

Ah, now your presidential glory is complete.
You hop out of bed, already wearing your trademark professional, yet trendy, suit.

Being the 16th President of the United States of America has been rough to say the least. Maddening's more like it. What with the rebellion, the death of your poor son Willie, even that disturbing dream you had last week- the White House was filled with invisible mourners, all sobbing over the president's death. Apparently he'd been assassinated... perplexing.

Well, at any rate, you're not going to let a silly thing like a dream dampen your day. This is the first time you've felt less than miserable in ages, and you're going to make the most of it!
