Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted, you now have a tadpole that will never die as your pet. However, your bane is that this tadpole only feeds on human flesh, so you have to rob fresh graves to feed it.

 

I wish that whenever I wanted to buy or pay for something, I could reach into my pocket and pull out the exact right amount of cash and change.

 

But it never dies... So if I don't feed it, it won't starve...

 

Anyway, granted. You always pull out the exact right sum of money from your pocket when you need to pay for something.

 

Your bane is in the form of two slight caveats to this. First of all, this doesn't give you unlimited money, you are still drawing on available funds to yourself. If your bank is empty and you have no other liquid funds lying around, the ability stops working. Second of all... The money you pull out is always in dimes, nickels, and pennies. I wouldn't use this to buy a car. I suppose you could get a kick out of trolling some poor waiter though, if that's your thing.

 

I wish for an awakened type IV leaf blower.

[cloudjumper he/him]

Granted. Congratulations! You now have a new type IV leaf blower! However, the command it is given is, "Be Completely Useless". Your leaf blower refuses to do anything useful, instead choosing to sit in your garage all day.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Well, I can at least have fun asking somebody to please go fetch me my leaf blower in the garage...

 

Anyway, I recommend you make a wish before somebody assigns you an arbitrary bane.

Oh wishless petitioneer who kneels before the mighty, mighty Nightwatcher - as your companion has just stated, you have no wish! But because you have used the Mother's power already to inflict ruin upon another, it is by right that I assign you one as well.

*cue evil laugh*

*laughter dies down instantaneously*

...er, yeah, I blame LoTR for the accent.

Anyway, my curse to you is the curse of Persephone... Every year for 6 months you shall reside here on earth, but on the latter half of the year you must spend your life in THRENODY. *dun dun*

Just a note here, you did not make a wish either...

 

*evil music*

*maniacal laugh*

 

And thus, for your foolishness, you shall recieve the same punishment as the one you have cursed!  Then will you know to learn from those who go before you!

 

Muahahahahahahaha... *cough cough cough*

 

Anyway...

 

I wish to eat the greatest sandwich ever, and that my bane does not affect the enjoymeant of said sandwich.

 

edit: Almost asked for the greatest sandwitch ever. Phew.

Granted, However the taste is so good, it overwhelms your senses and overloads your brain, you fall into a coma. Technically you did get to enjoy it

 

I want Warner Brothers to start making good SuperHero movies

Edited May 9, 2016 by Arcoss

[Brightness Enna she/her]

Granted.Their superhero movies are pretty good, except feature characters with deep emotional problems that you don't really care about. And that's not even your bane - just a bunch of ... ah ... interesting ... people in charge.

 

Your bane takes the form of a cat that follows you around, meowing constantly. The more you try to kill it, the more you become allergic. It's immortal and will never leave. It drives you and anybody around you crazy.

 

I wish to never come back to English after today.

[Argel he/him]

I wish to never come back to English after today.

 

Granted. English is now gibberish to you, much like in this video:

 

https://youtu.be/Vt4Dfa4fOEY

 

Your bane is no one understands you anymore -- what you say, write and do -- but you understand everyone else perfectly. It's maddening.

 

I wish I had a shardblade and shardplate, and an infinite source of stormlight to keep the shardplate working.

[Mr. Staccato he/him]

Just a note here, you did not make a wish either...

 

*evil music*

*maniacal laugh*

Oh wow, that sure was an epic fail if there ever was one. Remind me never to attempt an entry while not under the influence of a well-earned caffeine fix.   (Hoo boy was I out of it when I first posted...)

 

Anyway, @Argel yes you now have a wicked shardblade, a decent shardplate, and an infinite source of stormlight handy. (It takes the form of a Green Lantern ring, but instead of reciting an oath it requires the daily sacrifice of a 17th Sharder to power it up, as well as a presiding eulogy written with one-armed Herdazian humor to recite over our dead, blood-drained bodies). *shivers*

 

Your bane is that - and yes, that was not your bane yet - from now on you cannot make use of the letter W. On the plus side, when you speak, people end up thinking you have an accent! 

 

I wish I was a renowned linguist the world over. Just thinking that would be cool.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. Your renown is... well... legendary.

 

Anyway, as your bane, there is now a "sand witch" in the world who is tormenting you. Whenever you go outside, you are plagued by a large sand storm. I suppose it would be interesting to go to Antarctica and fill it with sand dunes... But its already a desert anyway so the satisfaction is limited.

 

I wish for a rat with hemalurgic spikes.

[Dracnor he/him]

I wish for a rat with hemalurgic spikes.

Granted. The hemalurgic spikes are made from you though. Eh, that's not your bane, you were all the Nigthwatcher had to word with. As your bane, the process doesn't kill let, and the Nigthwatcher is even kind enough to offer you a consciouness about your actual state: you can see you being a zombi, yet can't do anything against it. Don't be too sad, your rat is very smart now.

I wish to have more upvotes than Voidus!

[Argel he/him]

Granted. The Nightvvatcher sends you to a parallel universe that Voidus never existed in. The catch is you never existed there either and are quickly captured and experimented on for the remainder of your life. Your bane is they vvater board you incessantly every other day.

 

I vvish I could use the letter double-u again!

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. You now have access to a special key on your keyboard that somehow fits in cramped writing "double-u" and automatically types out these letters when you press the key. It's what you asked for right?

 

Oh, and your bane. Nearly forgot. The little toe on your left foot is replaced by a hemalurgic spike. It is spiked with a sense of balance so you can still walk perfectly normally with a metal spike instead of a toe, but its just weird and people get freaked out when you take off your shoes.

 

Anyway, I wish to be a gold compounder and be able to use the ability uninhibited. And I will include a nugget of gold in my stomach in the wish. Then I can regenerate my soul as gold compounding is capable of doing, and then make even more hemalurgic rats. Then I can send the rats to go pester lightsong's lifeless squirrel.

Edited May 10, 2016 by Drake Marshall

[Argel he/him]

Lightsong, eh? Very well then, your wish is granted, but you come back as an Awakened, having no memory of your wish, and really little need for it as you live a life of apathetic luxury. And some idiot with a pipe convinces all your rats to go off with him.

 

I wish it wasn't allergy season!! Achoo!!

[Magestar he/him]

Granted. You skip through allergy season, and, just for extra measure, all the way through summer as well.  No summer for you. 

Your bane, which is not skipping through summer, is that you now have a constant feeling of being watched.  Spooky.

 

I wish that I was a skimmer ferring, with a working metalmind.

[Nashan’Elin he/him]

I wish that I was a skimmer ferring, with a working metalmind.

Granted! Enjoy your skimming

You're now extremely paranoid.

I wish to be a Steelrunenr!

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. In fact, the night watcher will even be so nice as to overlook your spelling mistake (which could result in some interesting wishes). You have a hemalurgic spike imbued with steelrunning powers stuck through your throat. It makes everyone around you uncomfortable, but it gets the job done; you have access to full steelrunning powers.

Your bane is that while you tap physical speed, your judgement is inhibited in proportion to how much speed you tap.

 

I wish for 1000 biochromatic breaths.

[Argel he/him]

Granted. But a cat now has your tongue. It looks unassuming, not really standing out. Pretty much indistinguishable from every other cat, at least when viewed from a distance. Your bane is you are allergic to cats!

 

Speaking of that, I wish I was not allergic to cats!

[Brightness Enna she/her]

Oh, I feel you. So does the Nightwatcher. She grants your wish! You are now not allergic to cats. In fact, the cats love you.

 

Your bane is that now, any chair or couch, no matter how soft-looking, feels like hardwood under you. This applies to whatever you try and sit on. Cushions don't help and long trips, in a car or airplane, are horrible. 

 

I wish to be socially competent.

[Stormgate he/him]

Granted. However, you trade intelligence for social competence, and are now one of those people who texts things like "I'm in New Mexico! #goingforeign"

 

 

 

I wish for free, un-password-protected Wifi wherever I go.

You are now in Switzerland - birthplace of the internet.

 

As for your bane, the Nightwatcher decides to transport you and your place of residence to the aforementioned country minus every single one of your winter clothing.

 

I wish for a Friends reboot.

Granted, though it's directed by Michael Bay, stars Nicholas cage and Christen Stewart

 

I want the Nightwatcher to stop giving Banes 

Edited May 14, 2016 by Arcoss

[Magestar he/him]

The Nightwatcher curses you as a fool, for attempting to cheat the system.  She turns you into a sentient raccoon.  

 

I want to continue as I would normally.  (Not a real wish, but I just wanted to turn Arcoss into a raccoon.  )

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

The Nightwatcher curses you as a fool, for seeking her out but having no wish. She turns you into a sentient raccoon.

 

I wish for a finished copy of oathbringer.

Your wish is granted.  However, it will be rather hard to read now, due to your bane...

 

You are now a sentient raccoon.  Ha. How do you like them apples?

 

I wish for a pet sentient raccoon.
