This sounds remarkably like the near-game "Fortunately... Unfortunately" that we used to play at Primary School. One person sets the scene, then play continues with one player (or team) attempting to save and help the protagonist (
Fortunately
) and the other player or team trying to kill or hinder him (
Unfortunately
).
For example, "Fortunately, Ted's shoelace snags a flagpole and stops his fatal fall!"
"Unfortunately the flagpole is five feet from the ground... and Ted is six-two..."
It used to run for hours - days, even - but then we were six years old and any attempt to really bring the game to a conclusion tended to be frowned upon.

Sounds like a Drill to me, character attachment, Giam fiat and coming up with cool narration?

I like to think of it as a Warmup.
