Fortunately/Unfortunately

[AniX]

Unfortunately, these particular bees expressed their anger through the creation of explosives and defusing just hastened the timeline of their attack.

[AniX]

Fortunately, Thomas was born without a sense of taste and just liked the texture of duck pâté.

[AniX]

Fortunately, Thomas was formally Thom As, of the Phrygian Ases, and his father being Mid As left him easily able to pay the fee.

[AniX]

Unfortunately, the mage was a White Wizard Hat scammer whose bias were rooted in opposition to historical imperialism and the returned money quickly found its way into funding odious political causes.

[AniX]

Fortunately, the robots destroyed the jail housing the White Wizard Hat mage, who restored Thomas to life for a modest fee of 2,000 gold pieces

[AniX]

Unfortunately, given the waterfall was so small, the gold coins were likewise and belonged to the King of the Fey Otherworld, who sought to extract their value back from Thomas

[AniX]

Unfortunately, as he was still hiking near a waterfall, the only street musician around was Thomas' otter, who was suffering self-confidence issues from being able to calm the bees earlier, resulting in a poor performance.

[AniX]

Unfortunately, he literally SLIPPED away on the wet rocks of the Waterfall

[AniX]

Fortunately, Fey Otherworld was a nation of laws, not a dictatorship and her personal animosity couldn't overturn the lawful judgement of the Fey Court court system.

[AniX]

Fortunately, it was Opposite Day, a national Fey holiday, so Fey Otherworld encouraged the wasp to be corrupt

[AniX]

Unfortunately, the wasps took advantage of the lack of cover charge and were present in vast numbers.

[AniX]

Fortunately, matter moves slower than light so even the closest non-sun star won't arrive to get revenge before the end of everyone involved's lifespan.

[AniX]

Fortunately, the sun had no quarrel because star-essence is involved in a bit of a "If it doesn't come from Champagne, it is called sparkling wine" situation and the sun, despite being technically a star, does not fit the qualifications and was not used.

[AniX]

Fortunately, in her test run first attempt, the minor change she thought she was making had serious consequences, changing reality so it was the King on the throne instead, who had no great knowledge of how time travel worked

[AniX]

Fortunately, when you are a hero of prophecy, what "terms" you are on with people hardly matters. Kings come and go, heroes are a bit more special.

[AniX]

Fortunately, as it goes for prophecy, getting arrested put Thomas in the exact position he needed to be to save the kingdom.

[AniX]

Fortunately, the vandals were all Zoomers who didn't know how VCRs worked and ran out of time to erase them.

[AniX]

Fortunately, some other, more sympathetic FBI agents, who investigate weird or unexplained cases, were already tracking Thomas for the time travel thing and intercepted.

[AniX]

Fortunately, the FBI defined sympathy for people being tracked as incompetence. They were otherwise skillful in the various disciplines needed to help Thomas.

[AniX]

Unfortunately, Thomas attended school and was on the track team with Mystery Inc. and picked up their weird running habit, which always seems to lead them back to what they were initially running from.

[AniX]

Unfortunately, Thomas waited so long to access that secret stash that the convention had ended

[AniX]

Fortunately, the organizing board of the farmers market picked the venue because they had fond memories of attending the con last year and were quite pleased to see a cosplayer.

[AniX]

Unfortunately, two was still more HP than Thomas had left.
