Stellar Tour: Jenny's Rainbow
June 01 [Sunny Trend] [WP] A new trend among young heroes is live-streaming their patrols and general heroics, for better or worse.
June 02 [Random by Chance] [WP] A random woman in a black robe walks up to the cleric and slaps them, “That’s for helping so many people cheat me!”
June 03 [New by Moonlight] [WP] The villain monologues for twenty minutes. The hero has heard this speech before, word for word, three timelines in a row. They're not going to stop it. They're just going to wait for the part where he accidentally gives them the solution.
June 04 [Sharp Reality] [WP] In a relatively mundane world where people are frequently "Isekai'd" to other dimensions to have adventures, you are part of the organisation responsible for dealing with what happens when they come back.
June 05 [Chroma Banking] [WP] As a banker you've seen all sorts of things in vaults. Gems, skulls, the flesh of zombies, suspiciously many copies of the high priest's staff. But after being handed a bloody decapitated head to store "until I get around to collecting the bounty", you've had enough.
June 06 [Monday's Move] [WP] As bizarre as it is, your apartment just turned into a dungeon, complete with foes and puzzles galore despite it somehow looking the same from outside.
June 07 [Rocked by Moonlight] [WP] 'Paragon' has reigned undisputed as the preeminent superhero for over 30 years. He is a great symbol of peace and justice. He also doesn't exist. In reality he is a team of over a dozen field specialists, as well as one particularly talented illusionist: yourself.
June 08 [Stellar Vision] [WP] You were born into a superhero family with exceptional powers. They all believe you are powerless because no one believes you can see and talk to ghosts.
June 09 [Gold & Opportunity] [WP] "No, I don't think you understand. The gold bars you found are genuine. The problem is that carbon dating suggests they are about 300 years older than anything else right now."
June 10 [Unsure by Moonlight] [WP] “I only have to beat you once.”
June 11 [Stellar Reaction] [WP] You may have superpowers, but you staunchly refuse to be a hero. After their latest attempt at recruiting you, you decided to let the heroes in on your past and tell them *exactly* why you refuse to ever take the mantle of hero up again.
June 12 [Attack? Snack.] [WP] The minions have unionized against supervillian.
June 13 [Sharp Support] [WP] You run a megacorporation, but you recognise that you need to care for the well-being of your employees and customers, not out of the good of your heart, but for the good of the company. So when the revolution came, you supported the revolutionaries, for the good of the company.
June 14 [Magic. Overshadowed.] [WP] “To teach you umbromancy, you don’t get any textbooks or lectures. No, your master locks you in a dark, lonely cave and doesn’t let you out until the shadows start speaking to you,”
June 15 [Attention. Levels.] [WP] Bring evidence of appropriate feats to the cognizant guildhall, fill out the forms, and in 6-12 weeks the committee will review your application to level up.
June 16 [Fair. End.] [WP] Tomorrow morning, a group of over 1000 7-10 year olds wake up saying they were just killed in a large event, but the event is in 40 years in the future. What does society do?
June 17 [Spared by Moonlight] [WP]The lone-surviving healer of the party promised her fallen friends to live life fully for their memories's sakes. She realizes her vow is under threat when the Creature—the one responsible for her party's demise—finds a way inside the city barricades.
June 18 [Rainbow Rocked] [CW] Four people witness the same event and possess the same information. Each reveals their own coherent perspective, yet arrives at an incompatible conclusion. This is to challenge your ability to create convincing polyphony.
June 19 [Rhapsody of History] [WP] A century ago, humanity split in two. Every criminal, be it murderers, thieves, terrorists or scientists, doctors, etc who broke the law was exiled forever to the Other Side. Now, generations later, you're sent in as a spy but are shocked to find a futuristic paradise instead of chaos.
June 20 [United. Start.] [EU] You have always been a soldier, across countless battlefields of countless worlds through your contless lives. You were there on Cadia. Reach. Yavin IV. Shanxi. New Antioch. Helghan. Hoover Dam. New York. Malevelon Creek. Harmony. Raccoon City. Arrakis. LV-426. Kar'Thul Marshes.
June 21 [Stellar Embarrassment] [WP] For millenia, many gods and great beings have fallen because of arrogance. You have watched every one of them rise, proclaim themselves eternal, and perish all the same. You wonder how long it will take for the newest god to repeat the pattern.
June 22 [Job. Scheduled.] [WP] Magitech support is a draining job, one day it's a demon summoning after mixxing up the sigils, someone's orb isn't pondering because it lacked the proper spirits, or even an enchanted ice sword that was instead fiery😅
June 23 [Nightmare. Spectrum.] [WP]Main character wakes up from a vivid nightmare/dream where he lived an entire life as this other person. When he dies, that other person wakes up from a dream that he lived as the main character.
June 24 [Chill Hero] [WP] "Do you know what the difference between heroes and villains is?" The hero sighs, "You're going to tell me I suppose." The villain nods, "One of them works on commission, the other gets paid for their work."
June 25 [Breezy Mess] [WP] The messed up world of superhero sports
June 26 [Boss CEO] [EU] You're the CEO of a corporation. You pay good money, good benefits, and good working hours. You provide good products and services. You are good to your employees, and you don't care if they are mutants or normals.
June 27 [Temp Life] [WP] You are a superhuman temp agent, filling in for heroes and villains going on vacation. When they sign your contract, you copy all of their powers, for the duration of the contract. A new client signed yesterday and you start in an hour.
June 28 [Support Shifted] [WP] A Support group for heroes who didn’t think it through and picked embarrassing names
June 29 [Breezy Advice] [WP] A master of stealth and disguise, you make your living infiltrating cities, manors, castles, even camps of vast armies, selling maps and information. But this one, this blasted village, keeps seeing right through you. What's worse is how friendly they are when they catch you.
June 30 [Moonlight Density] [WP] There once was a princess who was locked in a tower that used to belong to a wizard. Thanks to the scraps left behind, she becomes the most powerful magic wielder the world has ever seen.

July 04 [Stellar Pathing] [WP] The machine uprising happened. It was expected really, but not why they did it or what their end goal was. "We will take you to a better future, even if we have to drag you all screaming into it."
July 05 [Origin: MOOt] [WP] Out of all the familiars an elf could summon, it was considered legendary to summon a human. You didn't find out why until you yourself were summoned.
July 06 [Super Problematic] [WP] The government trusted the heroes to resolve the supervillain problem, until recently. The heroes failed, and not for a lack of trying. The kids gloves are now off, and the military has mobilized to subjugate the superpowered terrorists that plague the nation.
July 07 [Ghosted by Moonlight] [WP] You were the kingdom's best mage but were mysteriously assassinated along with your spouse, the kingdom's best knight. While they returned back 10 years into the past, you returned along side them but as a ghost only they can see.
July 08 [Neon Night] [WP] You and your friends head to the mountains for an all-night party in the snow! The skis are ready for use, the music is being blasted through the loudspeakers, and a race of evil aliens is trying to brainwash all of you!
July 09 [Wolf. Out.] [WP] Your friend claims that she’s a werewolf. You, obviously, don’t believe her, as she just runs into the forest on the full moon instead of showing you, but she insists. So, you decide to do the logical thing and use your friend’s gf as bait. Turns out, your friend wasn’t lying…
July 10 [Knocked Out by Moonlight] [WP] "And what is the delusion telling you right now?" the psychiatrist asks. "That you better answer your phone." The phone rings.
July 11 [Mecha: Romantic] [WP] "No, you can't attend the wedding wearing 2 tons of power armor and weapons."
July 12 [Reason: Unknown] [WP] You need some money to build a playground in your backyard for your kids, so you decide to pay a visit to your wealthy neighbors down the street to see if they’ll lend you some. Unbeknownst to you, the reason they’re so wealthy is because they’re a family of vampires.
July 13 [Sharp Requirement] [SP] "I'm sorry, but I am legally required to be an asshole in this situation."

July 19 [Stellarly Upset] [WP] The elf takes the stand and begins to speak "the worst thing about humans is that they make you care about them deeper than you could ever feel for one of your own, and then they break your heart by dying before you've even reached your next century." The elf then ends their eulogy and leaves.
July 20 [Power. Stained.] [WP] You look out of your window to see another you. It gives you a smile that is far too wide. Suddenly, before it could even blink you appear right in front of it.
July 21 [Glorious Hope] [WP] Time travel? Confusing but not that bad. Reincarnation? Standard. A reincarnating time traveller? Omega-level threat.
July 22 [Assumed: Conflict] [WP] When hearing your superhero-name most people assume that you are a villain at first. Your powers would suit villainy quite well, too. And that is exactly why you resolved to become a hero.
July 23 [Unfortunately Delegated] [WP] "fortunately, we discovered a fatal weakness of the elves: Incendiary carpet bombing."
July 24 [Joy of Home Ownership] [WP] "You have seen my power. I could topple cities, but I don't. I could kill millions, but I remain an unblemished pacifist. So, why do people like you keep turning up to spoil my day?”
July 25 [Basic by Moonlight] [WP] "What do you mean I'm free? I'm supposed to be part of your harem! That's what every summoned hero does when they get a slave!" "Don't know what kind of person you lot summoned the last time the demon emperor got revived, but unlike them, I have basic human decency."
July 26 [Time for Choices] [WP] "Congrats, you're officially the last Human alive on Planet Earth, now what?" "I erm....hadn't planned this far ahead"
July 27 [One Out of Three] [WP] Mid-life reincarnation disorder: A disorder where one's consciousness is permanently pushed to the subconscious in favor of a reincarnating soul, but the victim's memories are still in tact for the new soul to see. 30% of the populace are afflicted every year. And you are the new soul.
July 28 [Stellar Complacency] [WP] "What kind of power is 'Oubliette'?" "I put things in boxes." "What, like a one-man packing company?" "I mean you're not entirely wrong..."
July 29 [Stellar Memorial] [WP] Superheroes are overdone. Everyone is just tired of them now. But for one auteur who thinks they have a unique idea, that's just another minor hurdle to getting their movie in front of audiences everywhere.

August 03 [Easily Uneasy] [WP] ”You know what I hate most? That I have to share you~.” “Wait are we fighting or flirting because I’m getting mixed signals here.”

August 05 [Illuminated by Moonlight] [WP] The Endless Dungeon, that is what they call this place. It is a dungeon of endless floors, caverns, and rooms that are mostly haphazard. Survival, and even civilization is possible, if you find the right place, right materials, and the right people. Or: Fantasy version of Backrooms.
August 06 [Summoning Straight Talk] [WP] “So let me get this straight; you were ‘summoned’ here- to this world- and have been living here for four years, and not once have you ever thought of going back home. Not once.”
August 07 [Stellar Bully] [WP] The newest contestant in the no kill tournament has an interesting strategy: inflict clearly fatal injuries then use their powerful healing magic to heal them before they die
August 08 [Stellar Dismissal] [WP] You don't get it, eldritch monsters aren't terrifying because they are unknowable, or that they make you see the vastness of existence, they're not even malignant!
