Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

[Casta she/her]

Granted, but every time you do it, you have sneezing attack until you become visible again. Bless you!

I wish to not get a bane.

Looks like it's time for this meme again...

  You have come to the Nightwatcher, and she shall give you what she thinks you deserve, both boon and bane! 
So, you get some chouta.  It's great.  Simply scrumptious.  Rosharan fast-food at its finest.  Yum.

Your bane is that once a day for the rest of your life, a random person will come up to you and present you with a logical paradox.  For example: 

• "You are granted a boon and a bane simultaneously.  Your boon is that you don't get a bane.  Your bane is that you don't get a boon."
• "This sentence is a lie." 
• "Your mission is to not accept this mission.  Do you accept this mission?" 
• "Does a set of all sets contain itself?" 
• "The square root of -1 is imaginary.  We use it all the time in math.  ...Just think about that for a minute."
• "A time traveler buys a copy of Hamlet from a bookstore, goes back in time to Elizabethan London, and gives it to Shakespeare.  Shakespeare copies it out and claims it as his own work. Over the centuries it is reprinted and republished across the world.  Eventually a copy of it ends up in the original bookstore, where the time traveler buys it and takes it back in time to Shakespeare.  Who, then, wrote Hamlet in the first place?"
• "I know one thing: I know nothing."
• "To go anywhere, you must go halfway first, and then you must go half of the remaining distance, and half of the remaining distance after that, and so forth to infinity.  Thus, it is impossible to reach any destination."  ("Stop giving me mathematical paradoxes, storm it!")
• "If you restored a ship by replacing each of its wooden parts, would it be the same ship?" ("No, it'd be Alcatraz Smedry.")
• "A heterological word is a word that does not describe itself.  Does the word 'heterological' describe itself?"
• "A pilot can get out of combat duty if he is psychologically unfit, but any pilot who tries to get out of combat duty proves he is sane."
• "Schrodinger sent you this box with a cat inside.  Unfortunately, the cat died on the way over.  The good news is, it's still alive!  How can it be both dead and alive, you ask?  Because I haven't looked in the box yet, silly."
  Spoiler

  

   

After you are presented with a paradox, you are forced to obsess over it for a period of no less than 2 hours.  However, if you obsess over it for 3 hours, then you do not have to obsess over it for the original 2 hours, but to obsess over it for 3 hours, you have to spend the first 2 hours obsessing over it, but you didn't have to spend the first 2 hours obsessing over it if you spent 3 hours obsessing over it, so... 

- - - - -

I wish to be able to resolve paradoxes.

[recneps he/him]

Granted, but only within a minute of you truthfully saying "This sentence is a lie."

I wish for more paper.

I wish for all of Brandon Sanderson's unwritten books to be finished and published, to retain the ability to read them, and for infinite time to do so.

The answer part of this was to a very, very old post.

Granted. You meet with him when he is in character as the King's Wit, and are constantly insulted for the duration of the meeting.

Granted, but you don't own any of them and after a couple hundred years of immortality you become suicidal.

I wish for all of the nuclear warheads on Earth to detonate all at once, in whatever military bases they're kept in.

Granted. All of the nuclear warheads detonate, quite effectively destroying Earth and killing every human on the planet, you included.

[Glaedr Firnen he/him]

I wish for my previous wish to be cancelled.

 

[Jehoiada he/him]

Granted, but now your next wish will have to be for potato's.

I wish for a mini elephant that can fly (like dumbo) and grant's talents like aviar's.

 

[Ashertliden]

Granted, but the talents can only be granted to other people.

I wish that I obtained the powers of Albus Dumbledore

Granted - @A stick is the Nightwatcher, just like the rest of us are. However, their bane is that they always have a whitespine trying to kill them. They also must share this bane with the next person to post...which just so happens to be @Glaedr Firnen!

Granted! Your boon is that you get someone else's boon. Let's say...A stick's! Just like everyone else, you are the Nightwatcher. You both got what you wanted!

I wish for the reputation ranks to become what we are in real life for one day. (That'll teach the inactives )

Edit: Oh, and Glaedr Firnen, the mods don't like it when you double post. You're fine since you didn't know, but try not to in the future.

Granted, but the rest of the world remains as it is; people become their reputations in today's world. Your reputation being 'seer' (an atium misting) becomes totally useless, as there is no such thing as atium in the real world for you to burn.

Thanks, I did not know. I will avoid double-posting in the future.

I wish for the ability to request something of the old magic as many times as I choose.
