  1. Dr. Gears stepped back through the portal with a fresh lab coat and a clipboard that wasn't soaked through with salt water. He was mildly surprised to see someone holding a bolt of lightning, especially since lightning is not solid.
  2. "Improve." Then I'll leave it alone for a few decades and come back to find something better than anything we can imagine.
  3. When you are counting down the seconds until Rhythm of War releases. 13265664, 13265663, 13265662...
  4. Granted. You now have a new element that has never existed before. Sadly, it is radioactive and decays in microseconds. I wish for the person who grants my wish to write an epic story and post it here.
  5. I am learning French so in 4 years, I can go to a French Canadian renaissance faire with my good friend. Also, I want to learn guitar, but my advanced procrastination skills are interfering.
  6. A bead of lerasium falls out. I insert a rusting automaton that was intended to be sentient.
  7. I thank you, and would like to remark on how impressed I am by your reputation and your status as a "Popular Sharder".
  8. I do not have any specific compliments, so take some generic compliments about how you look lovely today, you are a wonderful person, your eloquence is only matched by your wisdom, etc.
  9. I talked with Hoid. He told me a story and showed me how to make the Trailman's flute sing to itself. Sadly, once I woke up, I forgot both the story and how to play the flute.
  10. "I am Dr. Gears," he said.
  11. We can't tell and it really doesn't matter. Whether we actually decide to do anything, it feels like we do. If you actively believe we don't have free will, then nothing changes. If choice is an illusion, it's one that feels real enough.
  12. The obvious interpretation is that someone will challenge someone else and will die stopping that someone else from doing something. Hopefully it's more complex than that, but who knows?
  13. Seeing that the opponent was distracted, Dr. Gears grabbed his sword and waved it in the Pattern of Transportation. Reality tore, and he stepped through the portal.
  14. Dr. Gears snagged the chest with one hand and started to swim back to shore. The storm made it hard to see, but he was close.
  15. Abruptly, the sea began to stir, throwing Dr. Gears about violently. Hopefully the cat was alright.
  16. Dr. Gears continued forwards. The water was incredibly still, and he could see the chest still sinking. The chest was getting soaked through! How would he study the wood now?
  17. Dr. Gears threw himself into the sea. "No, I do not," he said, but the words were muffled by the salt water filling his mouth.
  18. "Indeed," Dr. Gears said. "The wood was not waterproof, according to the embossing on the Mountains of Eternity."
  19. Blink You blink three times every minute for one tenth of a second. Ten percent of your waking hours. Let's assume you'll live to the ripe old age of ninety. You are asleep for one third of that. You have sixty waking years. Six of those years will be spent blinking.
  20. Dr. Gears looked at his clipboard and threw the cat at his opponent. The prophecy should incite the spirits very, very soon.
  21. Repetition You wake up. You drive to work. On your way, a car hits you. You wake up. You recover. Eventually you are well enough to work again. You drive to work. On your way, a car hits you. You wake up. You recover. You drive to work. You crash. You...
  22. The Gears refuse yet again. Changing at all would necessitate a username change, and that would be bothersome.
  23. The Gears refuse. Though being a stick would be an interesting experience, the Gears are content to be Gears.
  24. You will spend six years blinking.
  25. The Gears did not mean to make SirStick cry, though the Gears do not understand how a stick could cry when it does not have tear ducts. The Gears offer their apologies.
