Post Score Posted [WP] "I want to become a witch." "Then why did you come to me?" "To learn witchcraft, of course." "Ok, but I am a wizard." "And I am a girl, so if you teach me, I will be a witch." "That is not how that works, child. If I were to teach you, you would become a wizard too, not a witch." 601 7d ago [WP] Your son just bonded with a dragon - which is highly illegal since you are not of noble origin. However, there is nothing that could break the bond a 60ft dragon willingly engaged. 451 3d ago [WP] You are a superhero known for resolving conflicts peacefully. Not because you cant fight, but because in combat you are kind of a one-trick pony. All you can do is utterly annihilate your opponent, with no ability to regulate your power, leaving you with very little options in battle. 417 3d ago [WP] On this episode of Undercover Boss, a Lich dresses down as a Skeleton Soldier and goes to the first level of his own Dungeon to learn how his First Level Boss, Falgar the Fallen, handles things. And he does not like what he finds. 400 5d ago [WP] The fairy economy is built on an un-currency: instead of being valuable an un-currency is something you want to get rid of, but can't simply throw away. To buy something from a fairy you have to agree to take some of their un-currency in exchange. 351 4d ago [WP] Humans have found a crashed alien ship and have scavenged the technology for themselves. When the aliens who lost the ship finally meet humanity, they are horrified to learn that the humans have been using the teleporters on themselves… 349 4d ago [WP] As king there have been many attempts on your life. You have become accustomed to checking every shadow and behind every corner, so when the next assassin simply walked up to you and openly introduced themselves, you knew that this would be your last day. 282 6d ago [WP] "I fail to see why you are so incredibly protective of that monster that was hiding in your attic." "Call my daughter a monster again and I'm tossing you on that pyre you built for her." 275 6d ago [WP] "Magical girls normally only use small amounts of their magic. 10, 20%. I'm at 195% and rising. Once I get you and the crew to safety, I'm going to find a safe place to burn up. Good bye. I love you so much." 218 6d ago [WP] Your magical specialization is unusual. You make a living traveling to places and setting up various magical constructs and equipment safely and properly for other magic users. You are the Installation Wizard. 212 6d ago
