Spoil a wish

[Jubal]

I wish that you'd wished something

[Ierne]

Your wish is still unanswered! Someone tell Jubal why he shouldn't be better at going to the doctor

[Glaurung]

Jubal gets better at going to the doctor. He gets so good at going to the doctor that all his ailments are fixed. Unfortunately he can't stop going to the doctor, so now the exuberantly healthy Jubal starts dragging other people to the doctor too. Eventually all of the people are at the doctor all of the time (despite all of them being entirely healthy), the economy collapses, and the survivors vow to have nothing to do with medicine ever again.

I wish I understood more maths.

[Jubal]

You understand more in that you in addition to your current knowledge obtain precisely one bit of extra maths, which is the solution to a moderately complex theoretical problem that is effectively useless to you.

I wish I had two more days of this weekend.

[Tusky]

You are granted 2 more days of this weekend, at the expense of all other weekends

I wish that the next person posting on this thread does not spoil my wish

[Jubal]

BEDBUGS EVERYWHERE.


I wish I was more alert and awake.

[Glaurung]

You are very alert and awake: you never, ever, feel tired, and you are aware of every single phenomenon happening around you, so much so that you cannot think due to the continual flood of new sensory data.

I wish I could teleport.

[Jubal]

You can teleport, but have no way of knowing what coordinate system you'd be working on and therefore an infinitesemal chance of ending up anywhere other than the dark void of space. You spend the rest of your life worrying about triggering your power by accident.

I wish I ached less.

[Tusky]

You experience less physical aches, but an amplification of heart ache. You are now sadder than you were before.

I wish my 24 hour flight on Saturday would only take 1 hour

[Jubal]

It only takes one hour. This is achieved by accelerating the plane to speeds that are not actually survivable for the humans inside, and you all die from the G-forces.

I wish I could persuade myself to write necessary emails more easily.

[Tusky]

You are able to very easily persuade yourself to write all kinds of emails: necessary and unnecessary. You find it too easy in fact, and send a slew of highly embarrassing emails causing you to be cast into a shame well.

I wish that exclamation marks had a comma shape at the bottom, rather than a full stop.

[Jubal]

The cost of reprinting every document that contains exclamation marks is vast, and pushes the world into a global recession. You lose your job and while away the rest of your days impoverished and blamed for the calamity.

I wish I could clean the bathtub in this house out by magic.

[Ierne]

you can clean the bathtub out by magic. you do so. you regret it for the rest of your life. there are some things that should never be exposed to high energy cleaning magic, and quite a lot of them hide under bathtubs.


I wish I wasn't nocturnal

[Jubal]

You become crepuscular instead. It's not a vast improvement and even fewer people know what the word means.

I wish I didn't have to run a workshop tomorrow.

[Tusky]

You don't have to run a workshop. You have to sprint it. You have to hurry around, the moment you sit down you have to stand again. Instead of speaking normally you gabble. It is rather stressful

I wish that I had one more small bit of carrot cake to eat now. The piece I just had was rather delicious.

You don't have to run a workshop. You have to sprint it. You have to hurry around, the moment you sit down you have to stand again. Instead of speaking normally you gabble. It is rather stressful

p.s. I hope it actually does not turn out like that!! Hope it goes ok.
