Reply to comment by Mooses_little_sister in [WP] Your superpower isn’t anything special. You can make stuff disappear behind your back then pull it back out again. When a friend at a party asks you to do it to them it sounds like a great laugh. But when you pull them back out they look older, disheveled, and are frantic to be sent back. by A_GOOD_NINJA

Alternates? Oh dear that never works out well most of the time.

But this is also how "Fairy Gold" works also. They never took it back from you. It just ended back where it came from.

Reply to comment by English_American in [WP] As a necromancer, you are in the business of reanimating the dead for a few days at a time. Families say goodbye, businesses get cooperate secrets, scientists test their drugs, etc. The more they pay, the better they are restored and the longer they stay, as it does take a lot out of you. by chacham2

That took a dark turn but it is nice to see even a necromancer understands there is always and exchange or price involved.

Reply to comment by Writteninsanity in [WP] A bar called “The Alibi” that’s notorious for being just that.. an alibi. Often packed with ex-cons, the customers of The Alibi adhere to a silent, but strict, code: If they say they were here, we saw them. They’ll always back an alibi, no questions asked. by JelloStaplerr

This bar needs to be world building prompt of its own.

There was a series of stories around a bar that exited outside of time and space.

It has 13 corners and all of them were dark.

The bartender always new what you wanted before you could even ask for it.

Many fictions from many realities passed thru the place.

The Alibi fits into this world or one like it very well. :)

Reply to comment by Rupertfroggington in [WP] You are a supervillain who went undercover as a superhero for jokes, only to discover how corrupt the system is in the hero society. The system is so corrupt that you agree to lead a small group of superheroes to rebel against the unjust hero society. by RavenousOwlhead

Reborn with the knowledge of how things really were and off the radar of the "Heros".

Round 2 and this time a few more "villains" might be helping out. >:-)

Reply to comment by turnaround0101 in [WP] You died and awoke in the afterlife. It's quite nice actually. The people and atmosphere are a lot nicer than you are used to and there is no stress or pressure. When you ask what good deed got you into heaven you are informed that this is hell, followed by a visit from a very concerned demon. by Kitty_Fuchs

This may of been hell for me at one time but after over 50 years of living on this planet I almost understand humans and even like a few of them.

Still not what you would call a "social" being though.

They got off lightly.

Idiot messed with my cat many years ago almost killing it.

That used to be a very nice classic muscle car he owned.

Reply to comment by ruraljurorlibrarian in [WP] You are an ancient folk spirit so old, your name and even your actual purpose have long been lost to history. Nowadays, you go by a fairly generic name and just go through the motions of what you're actually supposed to do. One day, to your surprise, you hear someone call you by your true name. by djseifer

Hello Grim. It is nice to know another of your names.

When will you come and free me of this meat suit?

I grow weary.

Reply to comment by GrunkleStanwhich in [WP] The world ended 20 years ago, you haven't found a living soul since then. Through some ingenuity, you call voicemails for the last 20 years to keep you company. "Hi, this is Cindy..." "Hi you reached Bob" "You know what to do at the beep" until one day "Hello...hello? Oh my God hello!" by killznhealz

To paraphrase: "I am never hanging up."

This in itself could be one of the most romantic or disturbing things ever said.

Once the hysterical laughter stops they will need to have a long serious discussion.

At least no one will interrupt them, or will they? ;)

Reply to comment by meowcats734 in [WP] After eons of refining your work, you summon the genie one last time. "Finally want to use your third wish? I thought the last two has taught you a lesson." You remain silent, and give him a dictionary-thick contract that cast the genie an unavoidable sufferings for eons, and inevitable death. by alacz

While the idea is to make the genie a better being somehow my limited understanding of their nature tells me you will just make it even more devious and tricky.

Reply to comment by Rupertfroggington in [WP] Every time you cooked over a campfire, you would throw some food into the fire as an offering to the gods. One evening, just as you're about to perform your little campfire ritual, you hear a voice behind you say "You know, I would very much prefer my food un-burnt." by DragoTheFloof

It is uncommon for us to meet our gods.

It is even more uncommon for them to come to us.

His god cares for him and for that she gave him back his faith and hope.
