I could just get that to work for mine xD It could even be a vital plot point, actually. I'll take it! Anyway, my dares: Dare: Have a horde of zombies arrive at the main character's house/place of living Bonus: If they are there to use the toilet Double Bonus: If they attack the main character because his/her toilet doesn't work Triple Bonus: If the main character dies as a result of this, and it is before the climax Dare: Have a character say "My best friend's cat's previous owner's cousin's uncle's granddaughter's friend loves peanuts."

Bonus: If the character is referring to his or herself XD I'm taking that one! Also, previous NaNo Dare people, is it customary to put all dares in the same posts, or in new posts as you think of them? |

I have such an unplanned NaNo that I'll probably do a lot of dares to keep myself interested xD
Dare: Include some word or phrase where something unfortunate ALWAYS seems to happen after it's said... but never specifically mention that it's unlucky.
Double Points: If someone freaks out when it's said only for nothing to happen. Or, if the characters make up a "code name" for that word so no one else knows what they're talking about.
Triple Points: If the word or phrase is a character's name.
