the IC Wishes meme



When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

What to do

★ Post with your character! DO NOT put their name and canon in the header. Instead put a wish they might like to have fulfilled.
Examples: I'd like a cupcake | I want to be a doctor when I grow up | I wish someone would do my homework for me

★ Look around at the wishes of other characters! If you see one your character can either fulfill, help with, or at least offer encouragement or advice for... tag them!

I wish I had a lot of money.

[moonlighttiger]

to buy tons of food.......

[de_larada]

I don't know what you do for a living but I will say, adventuring has proven to be shockingly lucrative. Maybe find out if anyone around has some monsters that need killing?

[moonlighttiger]

You mean monsters like.. bugs?

[ this isn't about real monsters that are super scary, right? ..right?? ]

[de_larada]

I guess they could be? My friends and I avoided the canyon with the giant spiders because we really didn't want to deal with them, but I bet somebody would pay good money to get rid of stuff like that.

[moonlighttiger]

Giant spiders?! I.. uh.. I don't think I can stomach something like that..

[de_larada]

[She shrugs.] That's fine then. Most people can't, I think, that's why it pays so well.

[moonlighttiger]

I guess the people who take care of something like that deserve to get paid well.. Still, I can't help but feel a bit envious.

I know someone who will pay you very well for one of your kidneys. Your kidneys are in good condition, correct?

[moonlighttiger]

Yeah, no, that sounds really ominous. I'll pass on that one, I think.

[clothes]

One kidney in good condition is easily worth thirty three million yen. Is an extra organ you don't need and won't even notice is gone not worth changing your entire life?

[moonlighttiger]

That's.. That's a lot of money..

[ his eyes might have just turned into yen signs. ]

You could probably save someone's life that way, too..?

[clothes]

[ that's it... that's a good boy............ ]

Correct, on both accounts. People who turn to the black market for organs are often the desperate who cannot afford to be on the waiting list in one way or another. For some, the financial burden of the traditional route is too much, so we do the transplant for them. In exchange, they work for us until their debt is paid off.

[ that's literally a classic mafia recruitment model, do something major for someone then saddle them with an impossible debt so they're forced to join The Business and can never leave........ ]

[moonlighttiger]

[ it really sounds intriguing.. and he could buy so much food with the money.. did he just hear the word 'debt'?! ]

Wait a second-- Are you trying to get me to join the Port Mafia??

[ goodbye, yen signs. popped like balloons after a birthday party. ]

Akutagawa. I can't believe you!

[clothes]

What? Don't be ridiculous. You would be getting someone else to join the Port Mafia. We would pay you for your generosity. The one who is in need of the kidney, however... Well, accommodations can be made. We have plenty of openings for those who are in need of a job. In a way...you would be saving a life and helping someone with employment. You like helping people, don't you Weretiger?

[explicitsimplicity]

Do you need a part time job? It's easy, you can do it in your free time and usually it comes with free food.

[moonlighttiger]

Actually, I already have a job.. I'm not sure if I could manage another one?

[explicitsimplicity]

Uh, okay then.

Do you think I can get a part-time job at your workplace?

[moonlighttiger]

Hmm, it depends.. How well do you do with near death experiences?

[explicitsimplicity]

Are you working in a graveyard?

Hm, I was there when my grandfather died...and when my granny died. And my terminally ill Aunt spent the last two weeks in our house cause my Mom didn't want to leave her in the hospital alone. Does it count as experience?

And the man I had a crush on, apparently he died too.

[Here, have a flyer featuring a fairly easy to start investment plan. It may or may not be linked to a ponzi scheme.]

[moonlighttiger]

..somehow this gives me a bad feeling.

[ and why does he only attract the most suspicious people on earth. ]

[thedevilrebukingsin]

There is little basis for such a reaction when you are no expert in finance.

[that's the way of the world, young tiger.]

[moonlighttiger]

Even if I'm no expert, my gut feeling is usually right about things like that..

[ the world shouldn't work in such a way!! he doesn't deserve to have suspicious people all around him. ]

[thedevilrebukingsin]

Gamblers also have similar claims, yet most of them end up losing scandalous amounts of money.

[it is what it is. the curse of being the protagonist.]

[moonlighttiger]

I- I'm not a gambler?? If anything, you're trying to turn me into one!

[ is this how the kid from the jungle book felt when he met the snake.. ]
