Each Player: You blink. One moment, you were just going about your normal life. The next second, you're... where are you, actually?

You look around. Wherever "here" is, it's rocky and barren. You don't see a single other living thing in the area. The rocks are kind of pretty, though, with a good variety of colors. Still, you don't exactly want to be here...

Before you get much more of a chance to get your bearings, a woman appears in front of you. She looks... well, to be honest, your first impression is "holographic". Like she's not actually there, just a flickering image of a woman with long black hair and wearing what looks like a Roman toga.

"Hello?" she says, frowning. "Is this thing on? Ah, good!" She clears her throat. "If you are seeing this message, then congratulations! You've gained a once-in-a-lifetime boon. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lady Luck." She pauses. "At least, I think that's what my name would translate to in your language."

"Anyway, you might consider me omnipotent. I'm not, but for your purposes, I might as well be. I have created entire universes, populated them, and destroyed them. I have been a goddess, a demon, a normal person, a tyrant, a savior, a sidekick... in short, I have experienced virtually everything there is to experience."

"And I am extremely bored."

"So I'm fixing that by giving you a fraction of my power. From now until the end of time, all actions you take have an equal probability of succeeding."
She smirks. "And whatever you're thinking of -no matter how wild, out there, or impossible it may seem- it includes that."

"All those roles I listed earlier? Any of those can be you. Or you can surprise me and take a different path. In fact, please do," she grins. "I gave you this power so that I could watch you and be entertained. So my only caveat is, be entertaining."

"Oh, and by the way, to make things more interesting, I plopped you on an uninhabited planet with a bunch of other people who have the same ability."
She frowns slightly. "Although if you're not part of the first batch, the planet wouldn't be uninhabited anymore..." She shakes her head. "Anyway, point is, you're not the only one with these abilities. What you do about that is up to you."

"So..."
She leans forward toward you, her eyes sparkling (literally) and a grin on her face. "You can do anything."

"So what will you do?"


With that, the hologram vanishes, leaving you in a barren landscape and a lot of questions.

So then. What will you do?

"W-what?" Kintsugi didn't know what to do. The last thing she knew... she was swimming in Ichigo's Inner World, and. And...

That lady, Lady Luck, she said there were others. Kintsugi didn't really know how well her wings would fly outside of her master's mindscape, but she said there was, that she could do anything. With that in mind, Kintsugi shoved herself off the ground, flapping her metal wings as hard as she could.

The girl stared at the place where the hologram had been moments earlier.

"Are you serious?" Rhetorical questions annoyed her normally, but this one seemed appropriate for the occasion. She wondered if she should just try to generate a portal home. After all, if anything was possible...

Then again, if anything was possible, the portal could wait until she'd tried a couple of things first.

Like flying. She'd done it in her dreams before, but there was a particular trick to it, like she had to click her mind into place. Would it work here?

Only one way to find out.

The bear glared at the thing in front of it. It looked like one of those creatures, sounded like them too, but the smell was off.

No- it had no smell. Not even wind was as nothing as this. Yet it was... something?

Swiping it with a paw hadn't worked, only going through the thing like sunlight. Neither did circling and growling at it like a trespasser elicit any fear from something so small.

In the end, the bear had lost interest and padded away from the thing-that-was-no-thing and found itself in a wasteland, alone and hungry.

It only wished it could find some berries better. Or or or salmon in a stream! Ohhh, how about honey? A basket full of it! Ants and grass and beetles and fruits!

Why not all of them!?!

First things first - if I'm stuck here then I might as well make the best of it. Or of myself, as the case may be.

Blowing my hair up out of the way of my eyes, I stand straight and shout out into the air:

You flap, and flap, and flap, and soon, you achieve liftoff... but you must admit, it is quite difficult to keep this up. You're not sure if you can qualify this as "flying", per se. Hovering, maybe?

You experiment a bit, and find that you can drift in a direction while hovering. It's only a little faster than walking, though, and definitely more tiring. Not quite what you were hoping for...

Only one way to find out.

You do your mental trick. An almost audible click sounds in your mind, and you're ready to go. You will yourself up...

...and before you know it, you're flying.

Up, up, up, faster and faster and faster. No effort, no strain, no discomfort, no nausea.

Just the pure joy of flight under your own power.

You whoop for joy, doing loop-de-loops at high speed. You have no clue how fast you're going, but you really don't care. This is exhilarating. Like all of your best flight dreams rolled into one, only it's real.

It takes a bit for the novelty and joy to wear off, but when it's over, you're feeling... there are no words. The thrill is indescribable.

+1 to all future rolls involving flight.

"Anything?" if he had some semblance of ambition he would had tried to steal all her powers but he didn't, so he just tried to summon a egg sandwich.

After all nobody can think with a empty stomach.

You concentrate, visualizing an egg sandwich... and then one appears in your hand.

Huh. That's neat!

And then you look around. Well. You seem to have a bunch of sandwiches, neatly arranged on a plate. This'll feed you for at least three days!

...assuming the egg doesn't spoil. But whatever. You take a bite, and wow, whoever made these knew what they were doing! Mmm. Before you know it, you've finished the whole thing, and... meh, whatever. You eat another, and by the time you're done with that, you're no longer hungry.

Ahhh. That was a good meal.

+1 to your next roll involving sandwiches.

Huh? Wha... That was freaky as all heck... I was just laying on my bed... next thing I know I'm here... I can do anything? Well that's nice to know... I wonder... Let's try creating a nice house. Might as well have something to live in.

You look around, and quickly establish that there's nothing to build a house with. Just a rocky, barren wasteland.

Well, that won't do at all. You want a nice house, and by golly, you're going to get one!

The earth rumbles.

And grumbles.

And then, the ground itself begins to rise. The noise is tumultuous, but after a few moments of panic, you realize that the moving stones are going out of their way to avoid hurting you.

And when the stone is done?

You see a castle, hewn from the rock. It towers at least 50 feet high and looks like whatever you conceive of as the ideal castle.

Somewhat dazed and surprised, you enter the castle and find that it's furnished with everything you could possibly want (hewn from stone, but you find that the stone's texture adjusts so that no matter what you do, you're comfortable).

Somehow, you have wound up with a stone castle that will change itself to be whatever you want it to be.

+1 to all rolls regarding your castle.

Why not all of them!?!

(OOC: May I request a dice roll from the OC? It wants to be able to better find food. I'm stuck using my phone until my laptop gets back from repairs.)


After a few hours, you give up. You've tried everything: smell has revealed nothing but stone, sight has been equally useless, roaring to frighten out any prey did absolutely nothing, and wandering around aimlessly has changed none of that. And, as a bear with very little brain, you just can't seem to come up with another plan!

And you really are very hungry. Oh bother.

Ooookay. Wacky lady gave me funky powers. Apparently.

I'm probably dreaming.

Well, who gives a damn. Let's see if we can't figure out how to run this place into the goddamn ground.

Blowing my hair up out of the way of my eyes, I stand straight and shout out into the air:

"Make me handsome!"

I pause, considering.

"Also, buff."

A silvery wind begins to spin around you, and for a moment you can't see anything.

When the wind clears away, you take a look at yourself. Yup, you're handsome and buff! Moreso than you expected, in fact. From a totally not biased perspective, you could probably turn most people's heads.

+1 to your next roll involving handsomeness.

"Anything?"

Possibilities flit through my mind.

"Okay, I want a house."

Maybe I had to do something fancy?

"Presto! Abracadabra! From nothing, I create: House!"

Your words have no sooner left your mouth than a house begins assembling itself in front of your eyes. You have no clue where all the materials are coming from, but whatever.

Before long, you realize that this isn't just a house that's being created. It's too big for that. No, it's a mansion, and from what you can see of the inside as it assembles itself, it seems to be fully furnished as well.

Finally, it finishes, and you go inside and look around. The mansion is furnished exactly the way you'd want it, laid out exactly the way you'd want it, and has all the amenities you'd want.

Huh. If you can create this from thin air, you wonder what else you could create.

+1 to all rolls involving creating things from thin air.
 
"The sky needs more company." I decided, after wondering through the mansion.

Having just had a bite of delicious chocolate, I decided that it ought to be edible as well.

Heck, why not make several moons?

The girl hovered several feet off the ground, a wide grin on her face.

That had been awesome. Maybe she'd just fly everywhere from now on. It was faster, and definitely more fun.

Looking around, there didn't seem to be any plants, animals, or water for miles. That was worrying. She didn't want to rely on chance whenever she needed to eat or drink.

Well, she could probably create a solution. And if there were no restrictions on complexity...

A symbiotic, cloud-based creature. Gets energy and nutrition from sunlight- no, the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Obtains water from atmospheric water vapour, and can use that to expand itself. Drapes over my shoulders like a cloak, transferring nutrients and water through skin contact.

That covered all the bases she could think of. She looked up at the clouds, raised an arm and curled her fingers, willing one of them to take the shape she wanted.

At least she was in the air. But it was really tiring...

AHAHAHAHA YES

YEEEEESS

Now THIS is a BODY.

Best dream ever.

Just for fun, I celebrate by trying out a few poses. Wonderful.

Hmmmm, what now...

I've tried changing myself, and it worked a treat. The question now, I suppose, is what can I do on a larger scale?

I am sort of hungry...

Well, I suppose my path is clear.

Standing tall, I clear my throat and shout out to the heavens:

"I WISH THE WORLD WAS FLOODED IN BREADSTICKS!"



This is an excellent plan. I see no possible downsides to this plan.

Everything is going to be wonderful.

It gave up, the bear did, and fell backwards landing on its hunches with a solid thwump!

Stomach rumbling, its beady eyes scanned the wasteland before it. Nothing grew as far as it could see. Neither did anything move but the stirring of dust on the wind and the many hued rocks shimmering by sunlight. The land was barren.

The bear moaned.

It was hungry. It had never gone this long hungry back where it was from. Forest. Trees. Bees and green wherever it looked. Fresh water flowing from streams and rivers into ponds. Salmon swimming upstream. And the food - wonderful food - whenever it wanted. From the plants and the animals and those creatures who, on occasion, offered things to eat not found in the Forest.

The bear only wished here was like there.

Before you get much more of a chance to get your bearings, a woman appears in front of you. She looks... well, to be honest, your first impression is "holographic". Like she's not actually there, just a flickering image of a woman with long black hair and wearing what looks like a Roman toga.

For a decent while, I just sat there gazing upon the alien landscape. This opportunity I had been given, this amazing power...I couldn't honestly state I quite believed that i'd actually been given it. But there was always one way to find out.

So, I formed an image within my mind, and tried to force it upon my body.

If nothing else, I'll know whether the hologram was telling me the truth.

I want to own Sufficient Velocity....

As my small spacecraft proceeded to the next asteroid I was going to survey for my inevitable consumption (to build my doom ship of course), alarms suddenly started blaring. I looked around in a panic as things started to glow blue for some inexplicable reason, and suddenly the starfield twisted before depositing me over an unknown planet. The ship jolted suddenly, and I blacked out.

When I awoke, I looked frantically at the systems readouts for my little mining and fabrication ship, I groaned. I was currently on an unavoidable collision course for the world below, hull integrity was at 44%, engines were at 20%, my primary fuel tank had blown open leaving me with only a dinky little backup, it was dark, and I was wearing sunglasses. So, with that in mind, Let's see if I can land safely.

Phase 2: (Un)Lucky Shard
PHASE 2: UNLUCKY SHARD

"The sky needs more company." I decided, after wondering through the mansion.

Having just had a bite of delicious chocolate, I decided that it ought to be edible as well.

Heck, why not make several moons?

You grin, power crackling at your fingertips. You feel invincible! You can do anything!

And you prove it. Staring at the sky through a mansion window, you see motion. Soon, they are visible as two blurs. One brown, one yellow. And it doesn't take long before they resolve as frankly huge moons, staring down on the barren planet like a set of mismatched eyes.

+1 to all rolls involving assembling planetary bodies.

Suddenly, the ground shudders. And... is it just you, or are those moons getting bigger?

Then, for some reason, breadsticks start falling out of the sky, leaving a sizable layer of them on the ground outside your mansion. Breadsticks everywhere, as far as the eye can see.

...what? No, seriously. What?

The man considered he next action he had powers and sandwiches, there was only one option to do now, he had to make one of his childhood dreams a reality.

And so the man whistled hoping his power would summon a armored war horse.

You whistle as loudly as you know how.

For a moment, it seems that nothing is happening. But then, after a moment, you hear hoofsteps. Hmm. Kind of quiet for an armored war horse...

And then it trots up.

Well... it is a horse. Well, more like a pony. And it does have armor...

But it's only about waist-high. It almost certainly won't be able to support your weight.

You may name your armored pony as a free action.

Suddenly, the ground shudders. You look up and see two moons forming in the sky, one brown and one yellow. And... is it just you, or are those moons getting bigger?

While you're looking up, breadsticks start falling from the sky, and they don't stop until you're about waist-deep in them. Your pony is practically buried in them, but is taking it philosophically: he's simply working on eating his way out of it.

Hmm. Neat! Now I just need to... wait... do I even need to power things here? Well, just to be safe, I'll have Solar Panels installed on the Castle... or maybe even a solar farm just beside the castle!

Your castle obligingly forms solar panels, but for a while, it seems to struggle with making the panels actually absorb sunlight the way they're meant to. After a bit, it does seem to be feeding some power... just not much.

Suddenly, the ground shudders. You look out a castle window and see two moons that definitely weren't there before, one brown and one yellow. And... are your eyes playing tricks on you, or are those moons getting bigger?

And wait a second... is it also raining breadsticks?

The girl hovered several feet off the ground, a wide grin on her face.

That had been awesome. Maybe she'd just fly everywhere from now on. It was faster, and definitely more fun.

A symbiotic, cloud-based creature. Gets energy and nutrition from sunlight- no, the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Obtains water from atmospheric water vapour, and can use that to expand itself. Drapes over my shoulders like a cloak, transferring nutrients and water through skin contact.

That covered all the bases she could think of. She looked up at the clouds, raised an arm and curled her fingers, willing one of them to take the shape she wanted.

The cloud you chose begins to swirl, descending directly towards you. Almost like a tornado, but without the violence. As the cloud reaches you, it begins to solidify, turning into a solid cloud cloak creature thing resting on your shoulders.

You notice that as it bonds with you (a completely painless process), you begin to become aware of how much nutrition and liquids the cloud is feeding you. It also grants you a general sense of how much is in the area, letting you know if you need to move to an area with more water.

You get a warm, fuzzy feeling from the cloak. Almost like it's purring. Awwww.

You get +1 to all rolls involving your cloud cloak creature. You may name the species and the individual you're using as free actions.

Because you're looking up, you see two moons forming in the sky that definitely weren't there before, one brown and one yellow. After a bit, the ground shudders and... one moment, are those moons getting bigger?

And then breadsticks start randomly falling from the sky. Once they've stopped, you find yourself waist-deep in them. Your cloud creature stops purring. You get the impression that it's as confused as you are.

Ah... this was. Disapointing.

At least she was in the air. But it was really tiring...

Kintsugi drew, well, herself and stabbed down, letting herself drop. She could use the gold her edge would generate to create a platform of some sort instead.

You stab downwards, piercing the ground. And...

...for a moment, nothing seems to happen.

But then you see a frankly huge amount of the ground begin to turn into gold. Seriously, it must extend for at least a mile.

You begin to hear noise, like several very loud propellers, and... wait, is this gold platform rising? You look over the edge... yup, you're rising.

Heh. This is pretty cool!

+1 to all rolls involving your solid gold helicarrier.

You chance to look up, and see two moons forming in the sky, not too far above you: one brown and one yellow. Um... are those moons getting bigger?

And why the heck is it raining breadsticks?

AHAHAHAHA YES

YEEEEESS

Now THIS is a BODY.

Best dream ever.

Just for fun, I celebrate by trying out a few poses. Wonderful.

Hmmmm, what now...

I've tried changing myself, and it worked a treat. The question now, I suppose, is what can I do on a larger scale?

I am sort of hungry...

Well, I suppose my path is clear.

Standing tall, I clear my throat and shout out to the heavens:

"I WISH THE WORLD WAS FLOODED IN BREADSTICKS!"



This is an excellent plan. I see no possible downsides to this plan.

Everything is going to be wonderful.

It's raining breadsticks from out of the sky! Breadsticks! No need to ask why!

As the breadsticks keep falling and falling and falling, you start to worry that maybe they won't stop and you'll be buried under them. But, thankfully, the hail of breadsticks stops once it reaches about waist height.

Just as the breadsticks start tapering off, you see two moons forming in the sky: one yellow and one brown. And... hold up a second... are those moons getting bigger?

It gave up, the bear did, and fell backwards landing on its hunches with a solid thwump!

Stomach rumbling, its beady eyes scanned the wasteland before it. Nothing grew as far as it could see. Neither did anything move but the stirring of dust on the wind and the many hued rocks shimmering by sunlight. The land was barren.

The bear moaned.

It was hungry. It had never gone this long hungry back where it was from. Forest. Trees. Bees and green wherever it looked. Fresh water flowing from streams and rivers into ponds. Salmon swimming upstream. And the food - wonderful food - whenever it wanted. From the plants and the animals and those creatures who, on occasion, offered things to eat not found in the Forest.

The bear only wished here was like there.

Edit: :facepalm:

Nothing seems to happen. Oh bother.

...but then breadsticks start falling from the skies.

Huh. What are these? They smell... well, they smell a lot like some of the stuff those creatures bring sometimes, that aren't found in the Forest. Maybe they're tasty? Either way, there are a lot of them.

As a bear, your eyesight is so poor and you are so preoccupied with the breadsticks that you don't immediately notice the two new moons in the sky. You do, however, notice the ground rumbling. And you know enough to know that that means something bad is about to happen...

For a decent while, I just sat there gazing upon the alien landscape. This opportunity I had been given, this amazing power...I couldn't honestly state I quite believed that i'd actually been given it. But there was always one way to find out.

So, I formed an image within my mind, and tried to force it upon my body.

If nothing else, I'll know whether the hologram was telling me the truth.

You concentrate on the image, and soon you feel your body reshaping itself. Weirdly, it doesn't hurt at all, and in no time, you're exactly how you pictured her, down to the clothes, pendant, and the gun in your hand.

+1 to your next roll involving doing something Samus Aran would do.

Something bops you on the head, and you react instinctively, rolling away off to the side and firing your new gun at... what appears to be a breadstick.

You look up to see more breadsticks falling from the sky at a rapid rate, and two moons that weren't there before. One brown, one yellow.

And both of the moons are getting bigger.

So... Anything I want?

I could have anything! I could be a president! No, wait, I could be a GOD!

But those positions are boring... I wanted to be someone important...

And as I gaze at the alien world around me, I only want one thing...

I want to own Sufficient Velocity....

I think on it. Really really hard. Look, thinking hurts, alright? But if what this person is telling me is true, then what's the worst that could happen?

You think and think and think... you think and think until your thinker is sore, and eventually you realize: even if you did gain ownership of Sufficient Velocity, how would you know? You're on a planet with no life, let alone Internet. And presumably, any documentation of it would be on Earth, right? Not being on Earth, you couldn't possibly have it right now.

Hmm. This is all a lot harder than you thought.

Your thinking gets interrupted by something falling in front of you. You bend down to look at it and... it's a breadstick?

You look up to see thousands more breadsticks falling from the sky, and two moons, one brown and one yellow, and both of them appear to be getting bigger.

As my small spacecraft proceeded to the next asteroid I was going to survey for my inevitable consumption (to build my doom ship of course), alarms suddenly started blaring. I looked around in a panic as things started to glow blue for some inexplicable reason, and suddenly the starfield twisted before depositing me over an unknown planet.

I looked frantically at the systems readouts for my little mining and fabrication ship, I groaned. I was currently on an unavoidable collision course for the world below, hull integrity was at 44%, engines were at 20%, my primary fuel tank had blown open, it was dark, and I was wearing sunglasses. So, with that in mind, Let's see if I can land safely.

You employ every piloting trick you know, everything you know how to do, and...

...you crash.

Thankfully, you managed to get up a cushion out of your ship's airbags to protect you from any damage, but the same can't be said about your ship. You poke around it for a bit, and frankly, if it even starts up after this, it'll be a miracle.

And then, things get weird.

You glance up and see that breadsticks are falling from the sky, watched over by two moons that definitely weren't there when you were flying in. And... you're pretty sure those moons are getting bigger.

What the actual-? Seriously, what the heck is going on?

EVENT: MOONS OF MAJORA

So Shard has created two moons that, unfortunately, were not placed far enough away from this planet to keep them from crashing into it. Furthermore, they seem to regard Shard as their gravitational focus, thanks to him being their creator. At the end of Phases 3 and 4, if this situation hasn't already been dealt with, each player and ally must Roll to Dodge the gravitational effects, with Shard rolling at -1. At the end of Phase 5, if the situation hasn't already been involved, the planet must Roll to Dodge twice to see how badly the planet is damaged by the moons crashing into it, and depending on how bad the damage is, each player and ally must Roll to Dodge the effects, with Shard still rolling at -1.
 
The Man looked around his summoning had failed and he was waist deep in bread-sticks, oh and the moon was getting closer like in Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan.

But that wasn't a reason to surrender, he only had to make one of his teenager fantasies a reality, before a childhood fantasy.

And so the man moved his hand in a arc hoping to create a portal that would lead him and his new acquaintance Sharp Spear to another planet.

As I looked up to the moons, I immediately decided to evacuate as well as I could. There was no freaking way I'd be able to remove them, but maybe, if I worked fast enough, I could jury-rig some sort of escape system. Actually, no, that wouldn't work. I have an even better idea, let's build a DEATH RAY, and blast those moons out of the sky!

I swiftly got to work, salvaging parts of my ship to create my horrendously overpowered plasma cannon and adapting it to use all of these freaking breadsticks as fuel. Soon, it was completed, and I turned its targeting system on the encroaching moons. I may fail horribly, but it was worth a shot. As I pushed the firing button, I thought it appropriate to shout "Now face the power of this fully operational DOOM CANNON!" A bluish beam of energy streaked into the sky towards each moon and...

Well that was a certainly a success... Well at least I tried. Sighing, I grabbed a breadstick that had fallen on my hand... wait.. bread stick? Glancing around me, there was a layer of bread sticks, well, everywhere, glancing up, I saw bread sticks fallinf from the sky and two new moons... getting bigger? Oh shit... were they there before? I didn't know, but I did know that I had to make sure I don't get flattened! I played enough Universe Sandbox to know what happens when a Moon collides with a planet, let alone two! Thinking quickly, I thought of a Space ship, preferably one Big enough to get out here and defend my self from Space Pirates! Maybe a UNSC Frigate from Halo? Yeah that would work!

I ought to be afraid. Moon crashing onto planets were Bad News(TM). But instead, all I felt was glee. Mad glee.

I let out a truly wicked laugh.

The universe was mine. Mine to command.

Raising my hands towards the sky, I chanted words that did not belong in the same sentence or the same grammatical structure..

It would not do to bring about apocalypse in these dreary clothes, or this body.

No.

I shall be magnificence itself. All shall tremble.

"I AM. POWER!"

I look upon the moon coming down towards me, and I have but one though.

"Meh. I'll deal with it later." (Look, my thinker hurts, alright?)

So let's see. If I can do anything I wanted, what would be something I would want? A million thoughts battle each other for supremacy in my mind, waging war to be the one selected. The winner?

"I want someone to love me for me."

What, you thought I was going to ask for hot lesbians or something silly? Please, I want something more important to my heart...
