Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

[+Lewis Nethur He/Him]

Granted. since it's June, that may not work out so well, but your choice.

As a bane, you no longer crave the taste of snow cones, and instead are craving dolla bills. As in you want to eat them compulsively.

 

I wish to know why I wet the toothbrush before and after I put on toothpaste.

 

Granted.  (It's because you did it once due to a misunderstanding during early childhood and had it ingrained in your routine as an unbreakable habit.)  For a bane you now have an incurable toothache.

 

I wish for a new laptop!

[Sunbird she/her]

Granted. Your new laptop has Windows 10 as its OS, and you can never change operating systems.

I wish for the cost of all food to go down by 50%.

[Mr. Staccato he/him]

Food becomes cheaper - your normal Subway sandwiches drop down from $5.50 to $2.25 while on the other side of the world, edible paste shaves off a centavo and half its portions. It's food renaissance EVERYWHERE and everybody is celebrating the marked decrease of food thanks to your wish!

Two years from now though, the economic implications of your wish hits (really, what else would you expect from making food cheaper everywhere?) and you end up single-handedly introducing the next Great Depression in our planet. The consequences of your wish is so vast and so far reaching that we end up fighting among ourselves who to blame for this state of events. Humanity bands up in groups and one group above all others decides the only way to reverse this turn of events is to implement a mindset of self-control and abstinence.

And thus ABNEGATION was born. Behold THE SO TRUE PLOT of the Divergent Series.

* heavy coughing* Yeah, I don't know where that came from.

Anyway, I wish for a less demanding workload in college so I can go back to writing my stories!

 

[rjl]

Granted but you leave college insufficiently prepared for life and your first job breaks you.

 

I wish I didn't feel so useless.

[Erklitt]

Granted. You now feel used by everyone you meet. 

 

I wish I could just think of a dish and it appeared on a silver plate in front of me.

(You'd never guess I'm hungry right now, would you?)

[The Honor Spren she/her]

When you wish to make a wish, just wave your hand with a big swish swish. Then you say, "I wish for fish!" And you get fish right on your dish. 
(So, basically, you can only get fish. And now you speak in Dr. Seuss rhymes.)

I wish for key lime flavored cupcakes.

Edited June 18, 2016 by The Honor Spren

[Erklitt]

[Can’t compete with your rhyming, not even close.
You’ve condemned me to stumble and fall on my nose!
However, I’ll go down as well as I can

in a blaze of glory while I fight like a man.]
(Yes, I like Bon Jovi. Get over it.)
 

So, it had to be fish sticks! I’m begging you, pleeeeaaase!

Could it at least be maccaroni and cheese?

I certainly have enough (fish) on my plate!

So kindly allow me to retaliate:

 

Like the gem in the sphere stays the cake in the cup.

No pulling, no biting, no tricks bring it up.

Like Tantalos under this torture you’ll strive:

key lime ever smelled, never tasted in life.

 

Leaves me to wonder: how get rid of the fish?

I know! Whenever I swish and seem to wish for fish,

the cosmere knows better

and provides the real dish of my wish!

 

(Note how my incompetent yet valiant effort just overcame the compulsion to speak in Dr. Seuss Rhymes!)

 

[Edit: add]

So, just to make things clear:
 

This I submit to the Nightwatcher’s care

with a stare at her hair  while she sits in her lair:

Whatever I wish, she knows with her art

whatever it is that’s REALLY in my heart!

(It’s harder to get over than I thought... but I’ll fight on, valiantly!)

Had to make sure there's a new wish to grant

You find it easy to get what you want in life, but blood follows you like a plague. Every morning you wake up in a pool of blood. You have to take showers throughout the day to wash away a ruddy sheen. Your nose, your eyes, your gums, and less pleasant places, all leak blood. You will never lack for what's "really in your heart."

(Feeling evil today)

I wish for the ability to sleep restfully at will.

[nmgrgtna he/him]

Granted, but once you fall into this restful sleep, you will never wake up.

 

I wish for the Nightwatchers love.

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

Granted but you find you never loved the Nightwatcher anyway

So...a harmless ebola?

I wish that my parents would agree to fund my gaming set-up

Granted. However, every time you attempt to do anything with your new PC they sit directly behind you, and tell you what you should be doing instead, until you stop using your PC.

I wish for a magical table (5 ft long, 3.5 ft tall, and 5 ft wide) that can magically fold to be able to fit in my pocket, and be only a single pound when its folded.

[Brightness Enna she/her]

Granted. You have a wonderful, mahogany table that can fold into your pocket and weighs almost nothing when small. As a bonus, the Nightwatcher even gives the table the ability to create whatever food you want.

As your bane, you can no longer see any color but red. Eventually your brain overcompensates and everything looks to be in shades of red. (Hey, at least it's not gray.)

I wish that I could have whatever music I wanted for free.

[Erklitt]

You get it. And it never stops playing at full volume. At all.

The blare of your latest download wakes you up.
In the bathroom, last year's number one blasts in your ears while you shower, brush your teeth and style your hair.
From the moment you leave home for work to the moment you return, that song from twenty years ago that you've learned to hate screams in your ears, giving no quarter and no rest.
You cannot understand a word of what your boss tells you. You get demoted to messanger girl. Your errands are accompanied by that same old song from twenty years ago that you've learned to hate .
You come home and drop on your couch, where the chime of that piece you downloaded for your grandmother makes it impossible to understand a word of your favorite TV program.
Exhausted, you sink into bed. The sound track from that horrific horror movie haunts your troubled dreams. 
Until the blare of your latest download wakes you up.

My ears hurt after writing this, not to mention my head. I wish to never ever have a headache again.

[Ookla the Absent]

That... actually is my life.

Granted.You now have chronic migraines

I wish I understood everything a person means

[Argel he/him]

Granted. You now understand everything everyone says ... 1 hour later. Your bane is you have a 16% of misunderstanding everyone before that 1 hour kicks in.

I wish someone would past that new Arcanum Unbound reading!!

that new Arcanum Unbound reading!!

Granted - the above line was copied and pasted from your post, as requested.
Your bane is to be willfully misunderstood by everyone every time you make the slightest typo.

 

I wish I could keep my living room cool without having to shut out the light.

 

Edited June 23, 2016 by Erklitt

[Magestar he/him]

Done.  However, the constant temp of your room is 1 kelvin, making it not only a scientific anomaly, but also making it nearly unlivable.

 

I wish for a Hot Rod red, mint condition, 1968 Mustang.

Sure. However, it can only drive at speeds up to 30kmph.

I wish for the three journals from gravity falls.

[Blackhoof]

Granted, you have possession of them in perfect condition.
Your bane is that they are inexplicably written in a mysterious dead language with no way of deciphering them.

 

I wish for sharks with fricken lasers on their heads.

And so shall it be. However, henceforth your lovers will appear to you as Frau Farbissina, or Dr. Evil. You may choose.

 

I would really love an unlimited celery supply.

[Blackhoof]

Granted. However, celery now tastes like poop to you.

 

I wish for free, fast WiFi wherever I go

Sure, but it flickers between on an off making it nearly impossible to get things done. This would also cause any video you watch to buffer every second or so. (Also for my last one, I can just do a deal with Bill Cipher. XD)

I wish for 1000 breaths.

[Erklitt]

Granted, but they are breath's in the Earthian sense, not the Nalthian. They will be your last 1000.

I wish for access to theoryland, instead of this stupid error 403.

Granted, but you will be consumed by your own personal black hole in 25 hours time.

I wish for unlimited wifi data.
