Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

[Argel he/him]

Granted. You pull it off, and then immediately drop dead from a massive heart attack. We will miss you on the forums!

 

I wish Brandon would release something new this month!!!!!!!!!!   Edit: I take pity on you and remove the "for the cosmere" part.

[Vander]

Granted. You have to wait a month (to read the book, that is) for every moment you spend wishing for x book to come out.

 

I wish I could keep to my convictions better.

[Brightness Enna she/her]

Granted. You now have the ability to become guilty in every court ruling you are ever part of.

 

Your bane is that you are never tried for the things you did do wrong.

 

I wish for my laundry to magically do and fold itself.

Dear lord... So wait, even if I'm jury? Attorney?

 

Granted. However, it always shrinks to the point of being unwearable.

 

I wish for a new life. To be taken, that is.

 

Basically, please kill a baby.

 

Edit: Um... I'm not sure what happened there. To be clear, it doesn't have to be human...

*shrugs...steps on a kitten*

 

Moving on...

 

Your bane is that you now have to deliver new life into the world...(I suggest letting mold grow on something)

 

I wish for a copy of the free cosmere trivia book to be given to me when I go to a bookstore on the 30th...

[Erunion he/him]

Having seen you step on a kitten recently, the Nightwatcher is not pleased.

You are unworthy of your wish. Instead, you will eventually get a copy through much personal struggle (involving growth, and an improvement in compassion).

 

Your bane is that you feel compelled at all times to grow in compassion. 

 

I wish to pass my course tomorrow (and all my others - and complete my degree as I am currently scheduled to).

[Vander]

Granted. Your bane is that you will have to wait in suspense for a long time before finding out you passed.

 

(I'm not gonna give a real bane, because I can relate. Good luck!)

 

I wish for an omelette. 

[Argel he/him]

I wish to be able to effectively convey emotional content and Intent through text and over the internet, so that none may be offended by reading into my writing things that are not there!

 

Granted. Unfortunately, you reveal all of your subconscious biases, prejudices, etc. when you convey your intent and thus end up offending people anyway. Your bane is over time everyone you know begins to hate/resent you.

I wish for an omelette. 

 

Granted!! A several day old omelette falls out of a passing garbage truck, hitting you in the face. Your bane is smell like that omelette for the rest of your life.

 

I wish for a new computer with 64GB of the fastest RAM available, two of the best, top of the line nVidia video cards with 8GB of RAM on each, a 512GB or larger SSD drive, 2 5TB SATA drives, at least two multi-core CPUs from Intel's best x64 line, Windows 10 Pro, and the best motherboard ASUS has that satisfies the above specifications.

You get it! It's awesome. (As it should be, that's a sick set up)

 

Your bane is that you spill a drink all over it, while it's running, and everything burns out. The warranty people are then sucky when dealing with you.

That's what you get

I wish for a relaxing, refreshing weekend.

[Vander]

Granted. Right after, you find that you have children you didn't know about. There goes your relaxation (For the rest of your life.)

 

I wish Doctor Strange would come out sooner. I WANTZ TO WATCH IT GODDAMMIT.

[Vissy]

That's two requests. The first one is granted, the second one is not. Your bane? Doctor Strange has a new scriptwriter. The show will henceworth tell the story of Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie non-stop for the next three seasons, with the exception that the main character is called Doctor Strange. And his name will be pronounced in its full form. Every. Single. Time.

 

I wish to become a rich man. 

Edited April 17, 2016 by Varangian

[Rasarr she/her]

Granted. Tomorrow, you will get a letter telling you that one of your beloved relatives has died - and left you a fortune.

 

I wish for some sweet waffles.

[Vissy]

(Joke's on you, I have no such relatives.)

 

Your wish is granted. Your waffle is large, luscious and voluptuous. It's also covered in a 10-cm layer of sugar, maple syrup, apple jam and, strangely, anchovies.

 

I wish for immortality. (Have fun with this one.)

Edited April 17, 2016 by Varangian

[Argel he/him]

Granted. There can be only one, and it isn't you. Turns out immortality doesn't protect your neck from a sword....

 

I wish the weekend would never end!!

[Samaldin he/him]

Granted. You are now in a Groundhog day loop and doomed to repeat this weekend forever

 

I wish i had a paperversion of every book Brandon is ever going to write appear before me

[Argel he/him]

Granted! They appear before you, in the middle of the room, on a sturdy cedar bookshelf that, not being bolted to the wall, topples over, crushing you. Your bane is to haunt that room forever.

 

Since I am in a Ground Hog day loop, I suppose I should wish the weekend would never end again!!

[ecohansen]

Granted.  It's Sunday forever now.  All of the religious groups that maintain a Sunday sabbath can never work again without violating their faith.  Millions of faithful die of starvation, and whole faiths and ethnic groups disappear from the face of the world.  You are responsible for the worst genocide in human history.  The name "Hitler" is almost forgotten: from now on, it is "Argel"  that is synonymous with unreasoning evil.

 

 

All of that is just a logical consequence of your boon.  Your bane is that you now sneeze whenever you see a bunny.

 

I wish that for a time-travel vacation in which I can scuba-dive with the pre-Cambrian Ediacarans.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. You have a lovely vacation swimming with shellfish, if that is your thing.

As your bane, you now can't stomach seafood and will become violently sick if you eat any.

[Rasarr she/her]

As you didn't specify what you'd wish to get, the Nightwatcher picks a random thought from your mind and works with this.

 

Suddenly, a truckload of oysters is dumped on your head. They're fresh, tasty and edible, and will continue to be so for days. However, a moment later you find yourself in the nearest large (larger than a swimming pool, deeper than you're tall) body of water. Clothes-less.

 

I wish for a pet shoggoth that wouldn't eat me or drive me mad.

[Vander]

I wish to become a rich man. 

You, my friend, are hereby on my list. 

 

Which is to say, good bane there.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

For me that would be the pacific ocean. Well, okay. I will roll with it since that is a lot of oysters. Thanks nightwatcher.

 

Anyway, your wish is granted. In exchange you have no recollection whatsoever of how to multiply numbers. You may want to relearn that.

 

I wish for a paradoxical bane.

[Vissy]

Wanting to meddle with the occult, eh? Taste the rainbow. Your wish is granted. Touching anything smooth will now cause you to become super-glued to the smooth object. Paradoxically, when the smooth object touches you, nothing happens. And your normal bane? Whenever people speak your name, you can only hear them calling you a smartass.

 

I wish to become a Soother.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Whenever people speak your name, you can only hear them calling you a smartass.

 

Oh that was already the case

 

I wish to become a Soother.

 

Granted. Good luck getting the right mixes of metals...

Anyway, your bane is that everybody knows about the power. So most people are super suspicious of you because they fear you are trying to use metallic mind control magics on them. Lots of people start wearing tin foil hats and conspiracy theorists enjoy a rise in esteem.

 

I wish for an identity-less metalmind filled with huge feruchemical bronze reserves.

[Mr. Staccato he/him]

I wish for an identity-less metalmind filled with huge feruchemical bronze reserves.

Granted. You now have an identity-less metal piercing DOWN THERE filled with a near endless supply of wakefulness - which arguably makes tapping said reserve VERY, VERY AWKWARD since whenever you do so the first place it takes effect with is, er, well you know where...

 

As for your bane... well, I guess that's bane enough. 

 

I wish for whatever the next poster's wish is - or at least that or a way to get the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to play for me in private.

Nightwatcher was at first confused and gave you two slaves: a hairy potter and a child that is cursed.

She fixed this and now the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will play ( a game of michim) for you in private.

 

Your bane is that you must care for the hairy potter and cursed child for the rest of your life. The child comes to be the bane of your existence.

 

I wish to learn from Khriss (the worldhopper).
