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.

SCENARIOS:

1. 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. 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. You have acquired a magical spellbook and decide to test it on yourself or someone else. The results are probably not as desired.
4. 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. 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. It is not actually magic but a science experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.
7. You have no idea how or why this happened, but it's very mysterious.
8. It's all a really, really weird dream/hallucination/acidtrip.
9. 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.

[Hello Jack. Have a very confused, very startled, and very buxom Patchouli.]

[So the funny thing about this cursed ancient urn Davesprite just picked up? IT'S CURSED. For once, he's lucky he doesn't have a penis or it would have just exploded!]

Huh. That was a bit anticlimactic.

Haseo | .hack//G.U.

Strife | Darksiders | Open to anyone, any roll for either

[leadmercy]

[Bring it.]

[stealinghats]

[Well, horsemen of the apocalypse are kind of like demons, I guess? But that doesn't really matter, since whatever the hell spell he was trying to cast for this exploded in his face, even if it did summon something.

He opened his mouth to speak and... uhh.

Okay, forget that. He waved his arms at this stranger instead, because he had no idea how to talk anymore.]

[moumantai]

[Terriermon is now lemon-yellow and sprouting colourful flowers from his ears and head. Aerith is the first person he runs into, so he tugs at the bottom of her dress desperately.]

Aaaahhhh, get them off me, get them off me!

[Why did he have to a fight with that Wizardmon?!]

Patchouli Knowledge | Touhou Project

[nukepowerisbestpower]

[So it turns out Utsuho ended up on the wrong end of a zombie, and all the biting that entails. And also she's a zombie now because of the previous. To say she doesn't look happy about this would be an understatement.]

Gruh. Uurgh, ungh.

[Fortunately for Patchouli, the zombie-crow doesn't seem to care in the slightest about the witch right in front of her, content to just groan unintelligibly and look very cross with the situation.]

Steve Rogers | Captain America: TFA | bring it

[exloserspromise]

Rolled a 2. Effect? A thick fog rolls in for an hour. Way to scare, supposed authorital being.

[leadmercy]

[...Well huh. That was sudden. Strife slows his horse to a trot, then stops entirely. Doesn't bother to look around. Instead, he listens. You caught out here too, Steve?]

John Watson | Sherlock BBC

[blog_about_it]

6 - You turn bright purple and faint

[the_new_sexy]

This could've gone much worse, Sherlock decides. However, looking down at the strange, purple marks on his arm, he decides that trying to analyze the liquid used by applying it to himself was probably not a good idea. And now his skin is changing color.

Right, okay. This could be much worse. He buttons up his shirt and steps into the sitting room to talk to John.

"Any result from that search?"

(OOC: The effect is: You burst into flames, then you turn into a mermaid, and finally everyone in the room becomes a child.

...Wow. Want to start?)

A torrential rain falls for a week. + 7

[gotbeefsteak]

[Rain, rain, rain, and more rain.]

[Honestly this isn't cool, because it's put all of them on edge. Rain typically seems to forecast that something bad's going to happen and here it's been pouring nonstop.]

[The worst part is the waiting, because frankly Chie's never been very good at waiting for anything.]

6, hello batterwitch???

[barkstabbark]

[Gravity suddenly reverses, and then it starts snowing outside. This is especially weird, because there's no weather and already-confusing gravity on Derse.

About five minutes later Jack hauls himself into the throne room-- fuck all these stupid goddamn high ceilings he is murdering the FUCK out of architect who designed this shit-- looking more furious than usual, and swearing profusely under his breath.]

We have a problem, Your Highness. [he is so ready to murder the research team right now]

[BAMF spacedogs--

Except there's something clearly off about Jack today, because he's shaking and stumbling and looks like he might just burst into tears at any moment. Whatever's causing it must be impairing his judgment, too, because the first thing he does is latch onto Davesprite, tentacles coiling around them.]

Fuck, I'm sorry, I'm sorry--

[He buries his face in Davesprite's feathery mane, completely hysterical.

Also there's, uh... random jewels and shit just sort of materializing around him, for some reason. Don't question it.]

[January 8, 7:56 AM
Prosecutor's Office
12th Floor Hallway

The prosecutor's mind is fuzzy on certain details regarding how this all happened, but now that it has, he's left to deal with the consequences.

With no good reason to avoid work, especially on such short notice, he shows up as usual, right on time. He did, however, manage to ensure that Detective Gumshoe would be off-duty for the day. That, combined with the fact that he has no trials to prosecute today, hopefully means that nobody will see him like this while he researches how to return to normal. It would sure be great if he could remember just how he turned into a woman, but unfortunately, he can't.]
