Granted. Your socks are always wet. I wish for some stickers.

"I want to look for flowers." Jenny looked around, a bit overwhelmed by all of the games. She wasn't sure where the flowers would be. Maybe they didn't have any flowers; that would be pretty egregious false advertising. She started to wander through the aisles of games, wondering if the lotuses would be hidden among them. Scanning each game, nothing seemed to pop out at her. Just as she was about to turn around, she noticed a particularly flashy one. It had a large pad-thing on the ground with blocky arrows on it. The screen showed more arrows. Squinting, she was able to make out the words "Dance Dance Revolution". Suddenly filled with curiosity, Jenny stood on the platform. This caused the arrows on the screen to scroll downwards, and after missing a few, she realized that she was supposed to step on the pad's corresponding arrow. Quickly getting the hang of it, her focus seemed to be on the game entirely. She'd completely forgotten about the flowers.

A powered form has proved to work just fine, hasn’t it?

I got some pretty great results

Yay, mission accomplished! You might like the real book, then! I read Sarah Ruden’s translation, I think the translator makes a big difference. (Again, heavy content warning though. It holds several views consistent with its time period, making parts problematic. Not necessarily a bad thing since it’s an interesting insight, but just a warning.) What’s interesting/kinda funny about novels from that time period is that they used the same general plot for everything oftentimes. It’s especially noticeable in Metamorphoses because it’s a bunch of smaller stories. The theme of curiosity = dangerous is extremely strong, with a few distinct story types (not a hard and fast rule, but pretty common). Also, as a general rule, everything had to have a shipwreck in it somehow. Ancient Greek romance novels are “boy meets girl meets pirates” according to my professor (corroborated by the two we read) If you were in rhetoric school, “write a shipwreck in a new and interesting way” was probably an assignment you’d have. Leucippe and Clitophon is a pretty cute and surprisingly nonproblematic ancient Greek romance novel considering the time period it’s from (still a bit problematic, though. Also, content warning 2.0). (Sorry for the block of tangentially related text, this subject is just so interesting to me!)

But is it safe to use against a Sicilian when death is on the line?

I just googled “[animal] with laser eyes”

I'm current earning my degree in computer science. Don't ask me to code anything not in Java, though. On the subject of computer science, TPBM is familiar with discrete math.

Chuck it into a volcano in case it's cursed. WWYDIYF an air freshener in your pocket?

Everyone grabbed a chart of wavelengths and pointed at where yellow was.

A general desire to not die?

Why did you behead this rubber chicken? Suuuuuuuure.

Do you eat coconut husks, too?!

I invent a reverse trebuchet that brings the sandwich to me.

What sort of coconuts have you been eating?

Granted. King Arthur is resurrected and not pleased with you stealing his property. I wish for a rubber band.

Quick, to the lifeboat! The ship is sinking! That's why I put so many stickers on it.

I wish for those who forget to wish to have an extra bane.

Everyone shrugged again, their shoulders beginning to ache. "Yellow."

Aren't coconuts inanimate?

This triggers an alleywar, and someone chucks a stale spiked cookie at your head. You are knocked unconscious and I take the sandwich.

BAWK-YEAH

CHINDEED

Everyone shrugged again, then handed her a pine cone and an apple.

What if two swallows try to carry a coconut?
