The "Be Careful What You Wish For" Meme

[playdate]

Everyone has something they wish for. If we didn't have desires, we wouldn't have hearts. Sometimes we want mundane things: a turkey sandwich sounds pretty good right about now. And sometimes we want impossible things: if only I could make her love me.

Just for today, your heart's desires are granted. Maybe it has something to do with that monkey paw you found at a flea market. Perhaps you've gone on an expedition and returned with some rusty old lamp. It could be a wish on a shooting star, an extinguished birthday candle, or even the work of a good old-fashioned Faery Godparent. Whatever's caused this sudden change in your luck, one thread holds true. It turned out wrong.

Now, your crush loves you so much she's stalking you. You can turn objects into gold with a touch, but all the food turns inedible on your tongue. Everyone's left you alone to read, but you've just broken your glasses. The sandwich is a little dry.

Can you handle getting what you want?
Thread around and find out.

[Wish granted! The attempt to resurrect Dracula has gone bizarrely wrong and instead summoned an unspeakable horror from beyond.]

What did you do?!

C'mooooon. You're taking forever.

Just put your coins in and make your wish already!

It should be an easy decision!

[Sephiroth doesn't really believe in making wishes, but from what he's gathered about celebrating birthdays, there should be at least one candle on a birthday cake so the person who has the birthday can make a wish when they blow it out.

Thus when he sets the cake (bought from a bakery in the city, not pointedly from the company cafeteria) down in front of Zack, it has a lit candle resting in the middle of it. Yes, he found the date out by looking at your record. Since Angeal isn't here to do it for you, someone ought to.

Now blow the candle out and make your wish.]

[Well, he played Hamlet once. That's close enough to princedom, right?

The sweeping up has, unfortunately, involved rope-swinging, and possibly a net.]

The Master | Doctor Who

[soundsofdrums]

[Mostly, he just wants the Doctor to really love him.

Aside from that, universal domination is pretty cool.]

[hideyosammich]

[Way to go, Master. Your universal domination plans suck.

So yes, the Master did get to be the lord of pretty much all of existence, but not for very long. The paradox he'd been relying on had snapped,and all of time had retaliated.

By the time the Doctor had regained his senses, he found himself sprawled out on a completely unfamiliar beach, soaking wet from the waves lapping gently at him.]

Killed in a revolt that could have been helped had someone stepped in, body lain out and Charles own fury left for you to deal with. Hope your happy. He's all yours now-- too bad he's more than a little bit off his rocker because of it. ]

So it turns out that, even if you knew it was coming, getting broken up with still sucks. Which Nick knew before all this happened, so, really, he didn't need the first hand demonstration. But the world pretty much hated him, so he got one.

Yeah, all right, he's ignoring the fact that Aunt Marie had told him this was for the best, and he should have done this himself, and he'd been planning on doing it, he really had. It still sucks, and it meant he got to drown himself in misery at a bar. Or seven.

He'd gone out with Hank and Wu, because they'd been the ones to force him in going out when all he'd really wanted to do was go have a few beers with Monroe, but at some point in the night of drinking a hell of a lot and chatting with random strangers, Nick'd ended up calling Monroe and all but begging him to come get him.

Nick'd planned on having a few more drinks with Monroe, or at least going back to Monroe's place and having some beers, but he's pretty sure he ended up passed out on Monroe's couch not long after that, with a vague explanation as to the break up.

The fact that Nick may have accidentally told the wrong person that sometimes he wished he could just go back to the way it was, before he knew everything he knows now, is something completely not on his mind as morning breaks, and Nick's fast asleep on Monroe's couch.

It was an odd little thing she had found on the base. Some little contraption thing that was there long before they moved in. Holiday fiddled with it, trying to figure out what it was, trying to keep her mind off of things. She was already up ridiculously late, because sleeping lately was annoying.

Yes, the Scarecrow thing sucked, she knew that as well as anyone. The problem wasn't that she kissed the guy, though - that was a whole other issue. The problem was that Six didn't seem to have any affections like that. Scarecrow seemed right about him. About her. It was a stupid dream, but she wished it wasn't.

She sighed and gave up on the little thing and decided to just head to bed. Nothing was getting done, anyway.
