Choose Your Death

NoRepublic

You are granted the ultimate choice: you get to choose your death, including all the particulars (when, where, how, with whom, oh yeah, and why you chose that specific death out of the infinite combinations of possible deaths).

Personally, I would choose free fall, skydiving accident where parachute malfunctions, or bungee cord breaks over huge canyon (thinking some of those crazy bridges over mile-high gorges). Why? Because I love the sensation of falling, I get a great view as I head down, and when I hit, I won't feel anything (dead on impact). Nothing like a life-ending adrenaline rush--the high of a lifetime. :D

So...anybody else got a preference they're dying for?

Ok here we go, ive put alot of thought into this.

Lone gunmen roams my town killing at will. He has murdered some 600 people, and due too his full armor-plated BDU, nobody has been able too bring him down. The town is in panic...But then...I appear! With my 9mm Beretta. We fight for a bit, exchanging shots. Eventually, I rush him my final shot nailing him in the open eyehole of his steel plated hockey mask. He falls down dead, but before that, he squeezed of a quick roun, which plunges right into my forehead, and out the back of my head, I die without a second of pain. Im honored as a national hero, including a full parade with honor in Washington DC.

All riiight.

I figured this one out a long time ago.

I will be on a motorcycle. Preferably a Ducati. Going super fast. And I'll be trying to save a busload of blind schoolgirls. I will have two microuzis in each hand which I shall be using to slay the attacking ninjas. In the process I need to crash through a pane of glass and/or be impaled upon something. Finally, after the children are saved from the imminent peril, The ninjas will pursue me until we come to the overturned fuel tanker, at chich point I rev the motorcycle up and clear the tanker, emptying my clips into the gas tank, creating a huge giant explosion that will eliminate the threat of the ninjas at the expense of my own life.

Failing that I might just get stoned and try to make love to a piledriver.

I put thought in this too...

I want to die fighting afrowearing ninja turtles, fighting on an errant Asteroid that I alone was sent to blow up by literally punching a 300 foot hole into the surface and dropping a bomb into it.

After the cardasians show up to ruin our party, the afroturtles and I join forces and we fight off the entire Star Trek fan club, aided by Darth Vader in a sexy little miniskirt. Now, in the end, we all decide that fighting isn't the way to go, after Ghandi shows up with 47 Virgins and a keg of toxic waste.

And, since by now I've forgotten what I'm doing on the asteroid in the first place, Me, the afrowearing ninja turtles, the Cardasian fleet, the Star Trek Fan Club, Darth Vader, Ghandi, all those precious virgins, those 2 virgins, and 45 very sastified women, and the entire world.


Blow up because I left the stove on in my house.

I want to die in a hail of police bullets outside a sleazy motel near the Mexican border following a nationwide manhunt. When I go down it will be with guns blazing, shouting how they'll never take me alive.
Years later ballads based on my story will become a staple of any folk singer-songwriter's repertoire.


Alternately, a good old-fashioned mythological smiting. Piss off some deity enough that they turn me into a tree, or send a sea-monster to eat me or something like that. Which will of course inspire folk singers to write songs about me.

It's only suicide if you die by your own hands.

See, one would expect that I died because I forgot to blow up the asteroid while partying with the Ninja Turtles (70s disco style), Darth Vader, Trekkies, 47 Virgins, Ghandi, and my friends, the Cardasians...

Me going on an Asteroid to blow it up, THAT would be suicide.

However, I died simply because my gigantic nuclear powered oven was left on. So, my death at least, wasn't suicide, it was simply the Gods using me to wipe out mankind in a most unexpected manner.

The Other, is a Slow Horrible Painful Death by the Hands ofmy own Characters. Especially Kajeenith, but only if he had all his powers. Then the pain and suffering could last for time beyond Comprehension, while I suffered in ways not even the most demented among you can imagine.

Me and a friend would be in say...America, yes that’ll do. We’ll be taking a casual stroll through the Grand Canyon when we come upon a rotting corpse. My friend will be overcome by cannibalistic urges and begin devouring the carcass. His skin will turn scaly and red, and he will begin to grow to immense height, until he is taller than the walls of the canyon themselves, as the corpse had been possessed by Satan. I will be overcome by pure primal terror, and scale the rock face until I’m out of the canyon. A wheelchair ninja, a Nazi, and an evil pots and pans robot with a deathray and a guitar appear, and try to prevent my escape. I best them with my superior martial arts skillz0rz, and steal the guitar.

I hop in a fluoro-orange Ford Falcon, and begin to drive away, but I see that the giant red monstrosity from before is moving towards the nearest town. I smirk, this would be my final triumph, my blaze of glory. I set the car to full speed, and drive over the edge of the canyon, using the bodies of my three dead foes as a ramp. I raise my sword and guitar, and play the single most rockingest note of all time. It shatters Satan’s soul, as my car crashes in to his eye and shatters his iris. The beast falls to the ground, dead. I hop off the flaming corpse, a broken arm for my troubles.

I am surrounded by nine mecha-grizzlies, it is a fierce battle, but I am winning, until the tenth decloaks, and knifes me in the back. My self-destruct is initiated, destroying myself and the remaining bear. I am dead, and one of the USA’s greatest natural features lies in ruin, but humanity is safe again. The entire personnel of the USMC, Her Majesty’s Royal Marines, the SAS, ASIO, FBI, CIA, all the ANZACs from all points in time arrive and give me a 210 Howitzer salute. I would be remembered as a hero from then on.

With two worldwide holidays in my honour.

Yeah, if you ever see that happen, make sure you get the head and take it home so you can compare it with pictures of me on NSG. Alternatively, print off a picture of me and carry it in your wallet at all times. Although that might make people think you're gay. And with bad taste in men as well.

You are granted the ultimate choice: you get to choose your death, including all the particulars (when, where, how, with whom, oh yeah, and why you chose that specific death out of the infinite combinations of possible deaths).

Personally, I would choose free fall, skydiving accident where parachute malfunctions, or bungee cord breaks over huge canyon (thinking some of those crazy bridges over mile-high gorges). Why? Because I love the sensation of falling, I get a great view as I head down, and when I hit, I won't feel anything (dead on impact). Nothing like a life-ending adrenaline rush--the high of a lifetime. :D

So...anybody else got a preference they're dying for?

I'd die while getting laid. It would be so good my heart stops, and give me a hell of a rush. Nothing like sex before you die.

The idea is that you choose the circumstances of your death so that it is Epic. Epic with a Nightwish*.

*Cookie to whoever gets that.

I presume you're referring to the chunk of "Ghost Love Score" used in the YTMND epic maneuvers?

Regarding an epic death, I think most of the good ones have already been taken, so I tried to come up with something creative. This is what I have:
I'm in a duel with swords with someone, he manages to knock my weapons away from me and impales me and allows my body with two swords through my chest to fall to the ground. He stands there triumphantly, but when he turns his back, I get up, pull one out of my chest and shove it through his neck, we then both die there in a rather large pool of blood. Just to add to it, "epic maneuver" is playing the whole time.

I'd rather let Fate make it's course.

In non-death relations though, I am Fate's bitch.

Well? Somebody sig me!
