b) Describe an unexpected event that has happened in your player's life - anything, on ice or off, that surprised your player - and how they handled it.

It was another terribly rainy night, something Rob Wright's father, Bob, had become accustom to referring to as "the perfect-ish storm"; a combination of raining cats-and-dogs and the fact that it was night time. "The only missing ingredient," he'd say, usually into the neck of a nearly empty beer bottle, "is love."

The two now sit in the son, Rob's, vehicle - a mint cherry green 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet anxiously parked behind a mint cherry red 2002 Pontiac Aztek as they wait for a train to pass by, trapped under the very perfect-ish storm that Bob Wright had superstitiously referenced.

"Man, I can't believe we lost to Anchorage." Rob said sternly and made a clicking sound with his tongue that children who have disappointed their fathers know well. "And it's my fault."

"Don't worry about it, boy. This perfect-ish storm will cleanse you, don't you worry." Rob's dad said, drumming his fingers on the side door.

SCREEEEEEEEEECH!

Just then, the train (YEAH DID I MENTION THE TRAIN??) in front of the Wright boys de-railed. Train cars began exploding this way and that. The train's engine, which due to the train's length was basically a kilometer away (trains in the prairies, man), erupted straight up into the sky. It rocketed off into the stratosphere, leaving behind a smoky grey trail. It didn't stay long, however, as it continued its travel with the final leg of its journey - CRASHING.

Rob acted fast, knowing the train engine had eyes for him and his father and would soon turn them into ground beef. Rob used his Carebear Stare to shoot out a beam of energy that caused the train engine to explode in the sky, leaving only dust to gently land on the people below.

"Holy crap, I didn't know you could do that." Rob's dad said.

"Neither did I. Neither did I. But you're wrong dad. This isn't the perfect-ish storm," Rob said, sticking his tongue out into the ash and rain. "It's the perfect storm (because I love the Carebears)."
