Nani? Fadran started a Forum Game?

ALRIGHTY

Here's how it works:

You choose a household superpower... and then you write it down and post it. Maybe we can fight with them.

I know. So crazy. You'll catch on.

Here're my starters:

• The ability to perfectly fit a plug in on the first try
• The power to open a box of goldfish cleanly
• To always have a shirt fit on the darn hanger

[Frustration]

• The ability to always put a USB in the correct way
• the ability to quietly flush the toilet
• The ability to easily get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.

[Experience he/him]

The ability to yell really loudly when the kids walk in the house with their dirty shoes still on.

[Going_North_cal]

The ability to instantly unclog a drain when it gets clogged

[Szeth's Facepalm]

[Channelknight Fadran]

• Resetting a clock correctly to the dot
• Always have socks paired and never inside-out

Being able to find the issue with a piece of hardware instantly. Then being able to fix it also instantly. Useful, and profitable, if you make it a business.

[Frustration]

being able to move things while still on my bed/couch

[Some Random Spren he/him]

Teleportation relative to the earth. Mainly just short ranged throughout the house, although teleporting long ranged would save on bus travel.

either that or telekinesis and/or flight

[Quantus he/him]

The ability to make cell phones that are traveling at speed to become intangible for exactly the amount of time it takes to slip through an idiot driver's fingers and car and still become tangible in time to smash on the road.  

[Robin Sedai she/her]

The ability to tell the kids to stop fighting and have it work

The ability to get rid of household pests, which may or may not be the aforementioned kids

[Eluvianii he/him]

Everyone has that ability........... please don't arrest me. 

• The ability to open the fridge and find food.

Making all the clothes fit in their drawer without bits sticking up, with the drawer being able to close easily, and without having to spend a long time folding first.

Making all the stuff you want to put in a drawer fit in it's drawer without bits sticking out and with the drawer still being able to close easily.

 

Alternate: Being able to fold clothes instantaneously.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Make my clothes dryer not screech like someone stabbed it with a knife nonstop.

[Frustration]

Being able to pull small tools like tweezers or nail clippers out of thin air and put them back rather than having to search the entire building to find them.

[CryoZenith he/him]

The household power I would choose is having Intellectus over my apartment. (For people who haven't read Dresden Files, don't worry this is not a spoiler, it's general purpose worldbuilding. Intellectus is a form of limited omniscience where you, within a given domain or area, know everything you wonder about. So your mind doesn't literally hold all the information, you don't get flashes of inspiration, you can't make connections between things if you haven't considered them individually yet, you simply turn all known unknowns you deliberately ask about into known knowns. Sort of like a mental Google that you can always trust to be accurate.) It would be particularly helpful when I have to get out on a rainy day but misplaced my umbrella, or I have to exterminate a moth infestation but don't know the main nest.

Nope! Although it might be because my siblings steal them from me.... I don't have enough proof to accuse!

[Quivil]

You could steal from them...
