One night, as you sleepily make your way to your bedroom, you accidentally trigger your ability.

[WP] You've just joined an adventuring party. The rogue wordlessly gives you a handkerchief and slinks away. "Ah, it's his way of handling his kleptomania. Instead of stealing things at random, he'll be going specifically for that." | At first, I thought it was just hazing the new healer.

The handkerchief itself was unremarkable. Just a plain red fabric with no noteworthy markings. But dutifully, Martin would... | It had become our little game, he’d try steal the handkerchief without me noticing and I’d hide it in a difference place on my person every time he was successful.

[WP]The Wishmaker's Key. It's like the Monkey's Paw, but instead of just flat out granting your wish (and doing it in the worst way possible), it only opens up the most reasonable opportunity to get what you wished for. | The old man shuffled over to the counter with a cloth wrapped around something in his hand.

It was a brass skeleton key, approximately 5 inches long with a Skull at one end, and a very ornate key head at the other. ... | **The Wishmaker’s Key**

[WP] Heaven is separated based on cause of death. All of those who suffered heart attacks are together, all hippopotamus attacks together, drowning, etc. You die and appear in a nearly empty room. An old-looking man looks up at you, and says, "Finally, someone else! It's been ages!" | It turns out, even heaven can be subject to the subjective. What I mean is that heaven is not *heaven* for everyone, for some it is a lonely room spent waiting for eternity for another soul to arrive. A prison of heavenly design cold with loneliness.

[WP] You always got strange looks whenever you fed the neighborhood ravens. "I give them food, they give me company," you'd say. One day, a raven excitedly comes up to you and whispers, "A neighbor plots against you, my lord." | In the heart of New York City, I found myself trapped in the soul-sucking routine of a 9-5 office job, yearning for a spark of excitement to break the monotony.

[WP] You are the villain's right hand man and you are the true power behind their criminal empire. The villain would never have achieved their status as a super villain without you, so when the hero finally arrested the villain, nothing actually changed. | It all happened blazingly fast. A shadow swooped down from the ceiling and before one of my guards reacted, there was smoke and swirling sounds and they all fell to the floor, unconscious.
A figure emerged from the smoke and slowly moved towards me. I smiled.

Batman gave me a grim stare.

[WP] Aphrodite is talking to Ares. "Y'know, Persephone gives Hades flowers everyday. I wish you'd do that." The next day, Ares goes to the Underworld and gives Hades flowers. "Yeah, I'm not really sure why Aphrodite wanted me to do this, but here you go." | Persephone stopped in the doorway, looking at the sight before her. Ares held the flowers out before himself for a second more, turned to look at her, and hastily jammed them into Hades' hands.
"Well, isn't this cute. I swear, Hades, you never had as many suitors as you've had since we wed."
"Hi, Perse," Ares said, ... | "...th-thank you." Wetness rolls down his cheek. Hades twirls away and places the flowers on an end table.

“A scholar?” He asks, seemingly baffled by the woman in front of him.
“Yes,” she says. “And as a scholar, it’s my duty to learn all I can. Hence.” She looks at the winding stairway in front of her that no doubt leads to a locked away princess. “Why I’m here.”

Bad move on her part. Her body seemed to realize that her brain had woken up, and decided it was the perfect moment to remind her just how much pain it was feeling, which wasn't a reminder she needed. She let out a gasp of breath as her entire body felt pricked by white hot needles.

[WP] "You must be truly stupid beyond belief if you dared to enter our realm without being armed with iron." The Fae queen mocked you with an arrogant tone voice. In response, you threw your childhood toy at her and watch as every fae present recoils in horror at the material it's made from. Plastic | The crowd moves as if it's liquid, scrambling over itself to give the toy a wide berth as it bounces harmlessly against the far wall and rolls to a stop.

[WP] You are watching TV during a storm when you hear a knock. At your door is a woman wearing a dress made of leaves and carrying a bottle. She looks at you sheepishly "Hello, this may be a tad strange. I am the tree in your front yard and this storm looks to be getting worse. Can I come inside" | With my ability to acknowledge and understand elements of nature as beings themselves, it was no wonder why I was having so many visitors today.
"So you are the tree in my backyard?"
"Yes."
I sighed. "Very well." I then left, leaving the door open for her to walk in herself, which she did, awkwardly.
The tree then ... | Watching Doctor Who, with a cup of hot tea, while a storm is raging outside, is blissful.

[WP] Sisyphus has finally had enough. He lifts the boulder over his shoulders and hucks it effortlessly down the mountainside, before setting off in search of Zeus. After all, he’s been building muscle all these millennia, and it’s about time for a rematch. | The boulder shattered into small cobbles and gravel.

[WP]You got kidnapped by a dragon because your uncle, the king, had no daughters. You were the closest thing the kingdom had to a princess. | I farted hugely. "You know I'm not a princess, right?"
"There are no princesses. Your uncle is the king. You'll have to do." The dragon's voice sounded like like a cross between a snake's hiss and a bonfire. Quite impressive, really.
"Yes, but do what? I don't exactly have princessly training. Old Uncle George is ... | I was a bit confused.
Just got kidnapped by a dragon, and brought to their lair, locked in a room.

[WP] An angry magician cursed a city, turning all the residents into the first animal they thought of. Not powerful enough, it only lasted for a day, and the people surprisingly had fun.

Vexason the Powerful wanted to put his head down and cry. The people of Cholerton were calling on him to perform the “Miracle of Beast Day.” Again! What had he started?

So, whaddafuk are they supposed to do *NOW*???? | The goddess said I died before my time. Feels like I've lived too long.
I had a purpose. It was hard work, dangerous work. By wit and will, steel and sorcery I pushed through. I didn't have time to think then, now all I do is roam. Like exploreing an RPG map long after the game is over.

[WP] The reason humanity has never experienced any world ending events is that future humans keep travelling back in time to stop them. You know this because there’s one of them in front of you now, telling you that you must absolutely not go in to work today. | “Indeed,” I said sarcastically, “anyway, I have a really busy day ahead and I’m already running late so I would greatly appreciate you letting me go about my day.” I maneuvered around the stranger to reach the driver’s door.

[WP] You are a world class killer, you find a envelope at your dead drop. Inside is $15.83 and a hand written letter from a 9 year old girl. | Part of me wondered how a kid even found out about my dead drop. The rest of me was more concerned with the job she'd paid me to do. The fact that she felt the need to even involve someone like me depressed me to no end.

Through means not yet known, everyone's physical beauty reflects their innermost selves; the kind but portly girl is now an absolute bombshell, the asshole CEO is now hideous, and so on. Nothing prepared you for what you came face to face with in the mirror, though. | The phenomena happened overnight it seemed.

[WP] You are kidnapped by the villain regularly, but you’re starting to look forward to it. You know they won’t hurt you, and are simply being dramatic.
