A WORD FROM TANGENT: Greetings once again,
my fellow otaku. I bring to you another tale, one of tragedy
and a hero's choice. Of wishes made in selfish madness,
and the single wish that might be able to save the day -
but not for everyone. A Wish of Honor.
SAMPLE PRELUDE FOR: Happosai's Magic Ring
Happosai had acquired the ring some time ago, but
had only recently realized what it was that he had come
to be in possession of. A ring of wishes of great power,
able to grant nearly anything it's master desired - within
limits. One of those limits was that it wouldn't grant a wish
right away, but rather stated what limitations the wish in
question entailed and asked for confirmation. This had kept
the old hentai occupied throughout the night as he always
thought of what he thought would be a better wish while
he ring was explaining the restrictions of the last one.
Finally, he had grown frustrated and (being the selfish,
unreasonable hentai that he was) made his 'first' wish.
"I wish to have irresistible power over women!"
announced Happosai irritably, disappointing the ring.
It had really hoped that the old fool would wish that he
had never have seen the ring in the first place. Not that
that would actually erase any wishes that managed to
get made during the resulting time-loop, but at least it
would be out of this pervert's possession.
"This wish will grant you the ability to control the
bodies and behaviors of any women you choose to
effect, merely by focusing your will on them," the ring
explained. It was not really happy with this wish any
more than the hundred or so similarly worded wishes
that the old freak had made during the night. Unfortunately,
the limitations inherent with the current phrasing did not
seem to be of the sort that would frustrate the old fool into
trying a different kind of wish.
"That's the ticket!" Happosai explained. "That' just
what I wanted! So grant the wish already!"
"The number of women you can effect at any one
time depends on your strength of will relative to theirs,
but the wish gives you an advantage higher than your
own will, so no individual woman can resist you, even if
her will is greater than your own." Maybe, if it just
droned on, the selfish baka would grow bored and toss
it away. That was just as good as being wished away,
from its point of view.
"Yeah, yeah," Happosai retorted. "Get on with it
already!"
"What you cannot do is affect their knowledge or how
they actually feel about you," the ring intoned, "but you
can make them behave as if you could, with none but
you and your victims being the wiser."
"Fine, fine!" Happosai growled irritably. "Just grant
the wish already!"
"Physical control means that..."
"GRANT THE WISH ALREADY!"
"...you can..."
"GRANT IT! GRANT IT! GRANT IT!"
"..."
"GRANT IT NOW!"
"Granted."
