Fortunately/Unfortunately

[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.

[StrangerCoug]

Fortunately, the King of the Fey Overworld was willing to give Thomas's otter a second chance.

[camelCasedSnivy]

Unfortunately, the wasps changed the King's mind.

[Aureal]

Fortunately, the King wasn't the one in charge, simply the spouse of the reigning Queen.

[camelCasedSnivy]

Unfortunately, the wasps were close friends with the Queen too and changed her mind as well.

[Farren]

Fortunately, Thomas was able to slip away in the confusion of the wasps' split attention.

[AniX]

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

[Aureal]

Fortunately, he sprained his ankle and was able to counter-sue the Queen for allowing a hazardous waterfall to be placed where he could trip on it, escaping all liability of his own in the settlement.

[StrangerCoug]

Unfortunately, the Queen was spiteful towards Thomas.

[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.

[StrangerCoug]

Unfortunately, at least for the Queen, now she herself was on trial.

[camelCasedSnivy]

Fortunately, the judge was a wasp, one of the few judges who would betray the court system to favor their friend the Queen.

[StrangerCoug]

Unfortunately, Fey Otherworld would have nothing to do with corrupt judges.

[AniX]

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

[StrangerCoug]

Unfortunately, Opposite Day would soon come to an end in Fey Otherworld.

[Farren]

Fortunately, the wasp didn't need a lot of time to render a corrupt verdict.

[StrangerCoug]

Unfortunately, the corrupt verdict, even on Opposite Day, still had serious consequences.

[DragonEater70]

Fortunately (for the queen), it was the wasp and not the Queen who had to face these consequences.

[camelCasedSnivy]

Unfortunately, the consequences of the wasp was decided on by another wasp, who gave the wasp a more favorable ruling than what was called for.

[Farren]

Fortunately, Thomas just reached a wasp-free scenic vista in his quest for better sights than a 9" waterfall.

[AniX]

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

[StrangerCoug]

Fortunately, Thomas thought to get wasp repellant.

[DragonEater70]

Unfortunately, the spray bottle was not filled with wasp repellant but with liquid magical star-essence.

[camelCasedSnivy]

Fortunately, the wasps are allergic to liquid magical star-essence and it functions the same.

[DragonEater70]

Unfortunately, the now magically empowered wasps were very angry at Thomas and threatened to sue him for spraying them with star-essence.
