Much appreciated.  

The Nightwatcher shrugs. Fine, you get your Pringles. They’re sour cream and ranch flavored (yum) and completely, utterly normal. 

Your completely unrelated bane is that you are forced to die your hair different colors every day, and I get to choose. MWAHAHAHAHA... you know that I’m terrible with fashion, so good luck with that.  

~~~ 

I beseech the Nightwatcher for a can of root beer. 

I should've specified plain Pringles...and now I'm gonna waste so much money on hair dye.

Granted, but I get a can too. Thank.

I wish desperately for a soul.

[goody153]

Granted, you are given a soul alright. The soul most valuable to you. The soul of somebody you hold dear the most(could be your lover, child or even yourself). 

Nobody can say that Nightwatcher isn't generous xD

I wish for a means of sustenance(which is not eating/drinking)

[Sunbringer he/him]

Granted. You now only get energy through photosynthesis. However, you also now sunburn really easily.

I wish to know the answer to life, everything and the cosmere

[Kelsier'sGodComplex she/her]

Granted, but none of them speak English, or write English, and they will never learn.

I wish for a mistcloak that I can wear.

Granted. But you are now stuck with a 32-bit computer.

 

I wish to be a strong independent woman who needs no man.

 

and you get the most annoying woman ever conceivable

 

Boon: I want the boon to do everything perfectly

Granted. You get a bowl of pineapples, that are purple inside, on top of a duck wearing a sweater. The nightwatcher loves this wish so much she declines to give you a bane.

What’s your boon, Ink?

I wish for Mr. Incredibles powers.

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, but you can’t quit breaking plates. 

I wish for a dog so I can name it TenSoon.

[Greywatch she/her]

Hi, all. Just a reminder that we are a family-friendly forum and we do like to keep things appropriate for people of all ages here. We'd advise you to report rather than causing conflict and then it will be resolved.

Edit: I didn't mean to stop the game or anything! Players, feel free to continue on with the above prompt.

Granted! Unfortunately your bane is that you will have to continue being an incredibly nice moderator...So uhmm, carry on.

Simple, never forget your awakened towel, and when in doubt follow the advice on the back of The Coppermind's Guide to the Cosmere, "Don't Shatter".

The question, for which 42 was the answer, was being worked out programmatically by the Elantrian sub-routine, unfortunately the program was prematurely interrupted and now the Elantrians are content to just sit around and marvel at their healthy glowing skin.

The cranky Bald Elantrians infesting the outskirts of Scadrial's sub-astral might be working on a partial formulation of the question, so all hope is not lost.

Your bane is that you'll have to RAFO.

Granted.

You look down and see that you are wearing a mistcloak. You think to yourself "Sweet".

The Nightwatcher then informs you that this is a magical mistcloak, which you can summon at will. Further, if you raise your chin while looking slightly to right and quirk one corner of your mouth up into a slight smile, the tassels of your mistcloak will swirl out behind you (even on a windless day) and look awesome. Your bane is that you can't stop yourself from doing this.

You summon your mistcloak on the bus ( the tassels flap around and annoy other passengers). You do this at restaraunts  ( the tassels get in people's tuna salad, their sandwiches, their soup, and in their precious chutneys). No one ever gets too annoyed with you though because they think your mistcloak is really cool and they can see how much you love it. So really they're just happy for you.

Granted! Everything that you do, you now do perfectly. Unfortunately perfection comes with a concomitant expenditure of time on your part, so everything takes 5 to 300 times as long to do. When you make yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, everyone would objectively agree that it is the most perfect of sandwiches, but your extreme attention to detail makes it so it takes 5.5 hrs to make a single sandwich. Brushing your teeth takes 4 hrs. Washing a single dish takes 2 hrs. Doing math problems...actually you're great at math now so you can do complex math problems in your head in a fraction of the time that the world's foremost mathematicians would take.

Granted!

Unfortunately it's one of those unconvincing robotic companion animal dogs that they sell at the pharmacy. But you find that after petting Tensoon and telling him about the rigors of your day you feel more upbeat and downright chipper. Also Tensoon eats a lot less than a real dog, though you are beginning to suspect that he noses around in the garbage while you're gone and that he's secretly eating old chicken bones...

 

I wish that every mosquito on earth would get bitten by another mosquito in an impossible to reach spot on the back of their thorax. Additionally I wish that having this itch that they can't scratch would drive all the mosquitoes so completely crazy that as a species they would commit mass suicide, dashing themselves on windshields or down the gullets of hungry birds.

Granted, but your bane is to suffer the guilt for the massive extinction of a whole species, which makes you abandon your plate and blade at feverstone keep, later to be killed by annoyed ecologists.

I wish to have a bane that is actually quite helpful.

Granted, your body now helpfully secretes condiments. If you want mustard, just blow your nose. Ketchup, no problem, you sweat that out under your armpits. Need some relish grab a q-tip your ears are full of it. Is that belly button lint in your navel? Nope, that's delicious saurkraut! You my friend are always prepared to enjoy whatever life has to offer with relish. In the rat race of life you're always guaranteed to Ketchup. Others will wish that they too could have Mustard your resolve.

 

I wish the Nightwatcher would give me a suitable pun-ishment for the pun filled bane I just loosed on the world and I'd also like a cup of Earl Grey tea.

 

[+Ark1002]

Granted, but you can no longer stomach puns, and will throw up if you or anyone else makes one.

I wish to not get a bane

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

The Nightwatcher points at the way out. “Congratulations. You do not get a bane, because you didn’t ask for a boon.”

I wish that everyone on the Shard whom I spend time with lived in the same time zone as me.

[AonEne he/him]

Granted, because we're now all living in one giant roleplay universe, which includes every world we have ever roleplayed in. Our characters react appropriately, meaning that some are ecstatic to meet us, and some are...not. I wonder how Voidus feels about @Voidus creating Sudiov, how Adalyne likes all that emotional pain @Ashspren gives out, how much every KotC character wants to murder us all for their pain.

@Tesh - um, me - YOU. PERSON. You conspired to kill my brother? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"

"@Firerust. Did you let all those protagonists into my home? Please don't tell me you killed my children on purpose..."

"Ene, how could you? Do you know how much [REDACTED] scarred me? Do you know what it feels like to [REDACTED]? YOU DON'T."

"You killed Thene." *Dawn has no concern for his own death, merely his bird's, because that's Dawn for you* ((((@Mistspren

*Sam pulls out a few knives* ( @Sami )*Mask opens and closes his mouth, but nothing comes out * *all those dead NPCs are preeeetty annoyed*

Whoops, got carried away. I wish for an axehound puppy.

[I think I am here. he/him]

Granted. But its name takes seven hours to pronounce and you can't shorten it. it won't listen to you until you say its name before each command.

I wish for the ability to make awesomely bad puns.

Granted! However, everyone hates you for our awesomely bad puns, and you therefore have no friends. 

I wish for a cream soda.

Granted, I’ll be your friend! The Nightwatcher realizes that this is a bane in of itself.  

I wish for the ability to multitask really, really well.

Why would that be a bane?!? 

@Ashspren You seem like a great person!

Anyways, Granted! You grow extra arms and have a more powerful brain to handle all the multitasking! However, once you start something you can never stop doing that thing! Otherwise all your arms fall off!

I wish for the ability to steal voices

Granted! However, whenever you steal one, you're stuck with that voice until you steal another one. You can never have your old voice back, and there's no such thing as "temporary". Also, the person whose voice you stole will never get their voice back. Thus, you collect an angry mob of people. 

I wish for a new phone case. 

Edited January 29, 2019 by Ashspren
Typos, the bane of my existence.

[Turtle373 he/him]

granted, your new phone case weighs twenty pounds and is the size of a toaster

I wish to be able to write really well

[Ishar]

Granted, but you lose the ability to type.

I wish to have great internet connection on any device I am using no matter where I am.

[StormblessedSurvivor he/him]

Granted...but you have no devices, therefore you can't use one. If you do try to get a device it teleports fifteen feet away from you.

 

I wish to be an Order of Knights Radiant, with easily accessible Stormlight.
