MEME #1: RANDOM MAGICAL EFFECTS

[divinefist]

THE RANDOM MAGICAL EFFECTS MEME

"Your teeth turn brick red and then you turn into a bear for a week."HOW:

1. Start a thread with your character.
2. Other characters reply and generate a random effect. If you need a scenario, RNG it.
     2b. OPTIONAL: generate your own random effect, just because.
3. Tag other characters, generate more stuff, etc.
4. Shenanigans.
5. Yes you still have loveless ears and aren't in your home world have fun with that.

SCENARIOS:

1. ADVENTURE: You have just reached the end of some ancient, mystical ruins in search of the magical artifact hidden deep within. Weird shit happens as soon as you try to take it (collapsing ruins/boulders/Indiana Jones theme optional).
2. CURSE: You have angered a wizard/witch/powerful faerie/omnipotent entity/incredibly stereotypical gypsy/all of the above, somehow, because you're probably a horrible person. The next day you discover you've been cursed.
3. SPELLCRAFT: You have acquired a magical spellbook and decide to test it on yourself or someone else. The results are probably not as desired.
4. OUCH: You were bitten by a werewolf/cat/bear/dog/falcon/tiger/whatever the hell else is in there. There may or may not be some additional side effects.
5. RITUALS: You attempt to consort with demons/other entities of questionable morality and fail spectacularly-- either the ritual backfires, or they just don't like you.
6. THE BEES: It is not actually magic but a science experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.
7. LOST: You are lost. Loster than the people on Lost. You are lost for words for how lost you are. So lost.
8. DRUG-INDUCED: I'm freakin' out man...
9. LET'S DO THIS: Roll two more numbers. Both of those things just happened at the same time, somehow. If you roll a 9 again, roll two more numbers and keep stacking them (ex. you roll a 2 and 9, then you roll again to get 5 and 6, which means you combine 2, 5, and 6).
10. Writer's choice.

I'm not really sure what this is, but it looks interesting. [A spellbook, maybe? It certainly looks like one!]

[barrette]

[ Dawn is already leafing through it without a single concern. ]

Maybe it's a magic book!

[mp3]

It's possible, I guess. [We have plenty of SP and a lot of elemental attacks, so it's not like magic doesn't exist. But...]

It's pretty weird that we found it here, though.

[barrette]

Someone might have dropped it. [ ...does that note in the corner say 'caution'? EXCELLENT. ]

[mp3]

[THAT MEANS READ IT FASTER]

A witch, maybe? Or a wizard. Maybe even just a birthday party magician.

[barrette]

It looks too old for a party magician. [ hmm... ] Can you read any of this, Minato?

[mp3]

Not a word.

[It looks way too old of a language.]

[barrette]

We could try sounding it out. [ she's already trying to, anyway. ]

[mp3]

[Doing the same.]

... Fus ro... ? [WRONG GAME]

[barrette]

I wonder what that means.

[mp3]

I can't say for sure. Maybe I'm not a high enough level. [Minato you're 99...]

[barrette]

Lets try and read the rest of it.

[mp3]

[Hmm... trying to sound out everything...]

[barrette]

[ Minato is doing much better than she is, and after a bit she falls silent so he can concentrate. ]

[mp3]

[Blah blah blah blah-- Oh!]

Ah, sorry. I got a little into it there.

[barrette]

That's okay, you sounded really good!

[ that was either a compliment or an oblivious comment. ]

[mp3]

Did I? I'm glad, I thought it might sound a little ridiculous.

[barrette]

No way, it sounded natural. I've never heard anything like it before, though.

[mp3]

I haven't either. I was just going with my instincts.

[barrette]

Your instincts must be pretty good!

[mp3]

I get that a lot. [Stopping a train with instincts...]

[barrette]

Its a bit disappointing that nothing happened, though.

[mp3]

A little bit, but maybe I was just saying it wrong.

[barrette]

Lets try again! [ using some different pronunciations. ]

[mp3]

[All the different ways to say it... It's so weird, trying to say it all, but it's fun.]
