If you had to choose between...

So I can bioengineer a virus causing a acute and lethal disease, use it to topple world authority and set myself up as a cruel, merciless dictator whose subjects live and die on her daily, hourly, minutely* and secondly* whims, but who is also whimsical and enjoys such things as brightly coloured birds, the revival of the noble position of court jester, and chanelling countless billions of dollars into bionics technology that will allow me to rule forever?

Sweet! :m034: Everybody celebrate my impending and eternal reign! Now. Or else. :laser:


*These aren't even words... shoot. I shall incorporate them into my dictionary when the time comes.


I got dibs on court jester!
 
^Very well. I'll reserve one of the spots for you. You realise that my jesters must perform constantly, wherever I am, without stop, even when I sleep (in case I wake up to a complete lack of entertainment), right? You'll be on an eighteen-hour shift and will have to wear an esoteric combination of scales, fur and feathers, the exact proportions and placement of which will be based heavily on dark necromatic magic stolen from the lairs of demons and ancient warlocks. ....And at some point, I may have to turn you into some kind of horrible chimera so you can double as a bodyguard.

...


...What? The subforum says, "Imagination Exercises." My imagination just... doesn't see much daylight. For some reason. ...No, no-one's ever threatened to sue me for emotional damage; why do you ask? Okay, maybe one person. He deserved it, though. Jerk.
 
hmm it's a tie between living to 90 in perfect health, and seeing 10 minutes into the future. i like being surprised by new events, though, so i'll go with 90+perfect health.
 
$500K is nothing. If I could be invisible for 30 minutes a day, I could use the skill to earn more than that ... and just imagine the autobiography I could sell! So I'd take that one.


ADD: I might have chosen the "dream person falls in love with you," but honestly how do I know I'll be in love with them? Dream implies there's some idealizing/fantasy going on, and that sounds like it could fade. If it were guaranteed mutual for life, I'd pick that one.

Their love would be totally real, forever. Think of it as your dream person finding you with luck.

Then I would pick that one. Everything is so much easier to deal with when you're in love with someone who loves you.

Maybe our homemade porn can bring in the $500K. :m024:
