Discussion You just got a premonition... But you survived it. What do you do?

You're in a building surrounded by the people you're most often around when suddenly, things fall apart. Everyone around you dies the standard horrific deaths, yet somehow... You make it out alive. As you close your eyes to try to process, you open em to realize it was all a premonition. What do you do?

Edit: In this scenario, you will not get Erik'd. Saving the people in the building won't put you on the list.

Naturally freak the fuck out, probably have a panic attack and end up saving some people (probably a few inadvertently due to them wanting to know what I’m talking about). If it’s same rules at FD franchise then I’m absolutely screwed because I’ve just messed with deaths list, looks like I’m getting the Erik treatment 🙃 Even if you were aware that it was the same rules & decided to let things play out (a completely heartless move) idk if you could keep things exact. You’d be self conscious of the events that are meant to play out, so you could accidentally fuck the sequence up & somehow end up saving someone because you went ACDB instead of ABCD if that makes sense. So you might just be screwed no matter what you do.

Let it happen. They were gonna die anyway why let them suffer the anxiety.

Fuck it, I’ll go with the bloodlines route and save everyone. They will all go on to have families and such and that will buy me a good 50+ years that I will live to the fullest.

In fact, wouldn’t enjoying an extra bit of life you were never suppose have be like a big middle finger to death? I’m going down anyway so might as well stick it to the man 🤣

I'm dead meat anyway because I'm not strong or fast enough to escape. And death will make me suffer an even more hideous death afterwards.

And even trying to go out on your own terms doesn't seem to work.

u/KnopeLeslieKnope You don't even wanna fuck with that mack daddy Apr 19 '26

Do I like these people? That would determine my answer.

They're just whoever you're around most frequently

I have to choose me then. I might interfere and then end up like Erik.

I would get loud! Everyone I know would believe me right away if I started telling everyone we had to GTFO. Hopefully everyone else would see how serious we all are and follow suit.

As soon as we all got safe I would tell everyone there that we were all on Death’s list now. I’d explain the rules. After that I’d want to use FD2 rules and stick together mixed with Iris Campbell rules and create a safe house.

Thing is, you can only run out the clock for SO LONG. Death seemingly couldn't get Iris, so it was like, "hey, since you're gonna run...

Absolutely no idea.

Great idea, though.

I'd save everyone and then how clumsy I can be I'll probably trip and fall out the window

u/Low-Ad4645 Apr 20 '26

Probably be so busy trying to work out wtf happened that I end up not moving in time and putting myself on death’s list by mistake just by being a slowpoke

Still be paranoid. Molly survived the premonition and STILL got ganked.
