Marcus Impudite Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Several seemingly ordinary people all around Campaign City appear to have tapped into some sort of wish-fulfillment/reality-warping power which allows them to create anything or make anything happen simply by closing their eyes and concentrating hard enough. Thus far today, your character has seen a young fellow in a Star Wars T-shirt wish for a real working Lightsabre and his very own harem of beautiful women in Slave Leia costumes, a man in business suit wished for a big suitcase full of gold bars, several different people wished for superpowers (and costumes), entire blocks of the city's residential area(s) now feature mansions and palaces in place of the humble houses and apartment buildings that used to be there, the entire police department has been turned into circus clowns, and strangely enough, someone has apparently wished for the sky to turn purple with green polka dots. Who or what is at the root of all this is, as of yet, unknown. WWYCD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Re: Wishful Thinking... Well, I suppose if you're a detective, you could wish really hard to find out who did this, how and why, but then you'd probably ruin it for everyone else. I don't have any current characters, but I had a Teen Champion named Duo (duplicator, cosmic sfx powers) who'd probably wish for enhanced powers and his own harem, just probably not in that order.

And as a Satan analouge, he's doubtless going to charge a hefty price for those wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankL Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Re: Wishful Thinking... Bolt - consider his wish that any woman he is attracted to reciprocate, feel guilty for thinking of that, reconsider. THEN start to think that there are going to be huge, catastrophic consequences for the people who have made wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine souls are still a hot commodity, befuddled or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfergus Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Re: Wishful Thinking... Olorin would be going "OMG! This is not good. Wishes can go so easily awry & normally have a price equal to the wish." and them do a magical analysis to find out how this happened and set it right. - including doing a wish to do so - he has experience with wishes and rarely messes them up. Volt - wishes the wishes away and that they would stop - if that can be done. Black Tiger. Does what he does best - curse silently and investigate. Leadman. Does what he does best - curse loudly and investigate. Futurian "Oh God! The wish machine is active! I thought that would not occur for at least 100 years yet! C'mon think Futurian...how did they stop it in the past? - er in the future - er- in my past but this future. God, I hate temporal paradoxes."

phoenix240 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Re: Wishful Thinking... Stinger: As a pretty hardcore skeptic tries to figure out what else might be causing these things. Hallucinogens and other psycho active effects, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
