Recycling TV Episode Descriptions for Fun and Profit

I found myself browsing the short descriptions of old television show episodes (think "TV Guide") and I was struck by the Warhol-esque simplicity of some of them, and I wasn't sure what to think if I dropped the names of some of our characters into the text. For example, all of these are from Night Man Season 2:

 

@Yomo Kimyata accidentally resurrects a mummified Egyptian queen, with predictably disasterous results.

 

@Bill Z Bubba fights a gang using high-tech, motorized Roller Blades.

 

@Saskia has been kidnapped by Keyes, and @Raleigh fears House of Soul will be destroyed. (Actual user names match the episode description for this one!)

 

Let's get the AE team together to see that mission with enemies on Roller Blades!

At first, I was left wondering why I would need high tech roller blades to fight a gang but then couldn't figure out how I'd get them over the hooves. I then realized my reading failure.

 

I actually like the ambiguity of the phraseology on that one, as players will soon be clamoring to have motorized roller blades as a travel power!

My thoughts immediately went to Jupiter Ascending's rocket boots.  It's not worth watching the rest of that movie to see, but skating through fight scenes with rocket boots, a blaster, and an energy shield is a good look.
