audio & action @L.Mills forward dated to April 8th

[thestoriesarereal]

[The audio turns on to the sound of silence for the first few seconds before Lucy asks her question.]

If you could have one wish, what would you wish for? Not like...money or anything. Not for powers, but what would you really wish for?

[Because it's her birthday, and she wasn't really in the mood to celebrate. Of course, she'll wish for her family to be okay, for them to remember and come here so they could meet Victor. But...would that be a waste of a wish? Sure, wishes were powerful, but she was in another world, and she didn't think they would be strong enough to pull her family from one realm to the next...

Or, maybe she's just over thinking things. Maybe she just wants to talk and not think about her birthday.]


[ooc: Lucy's birthday is on April 8th, so here's her birthday post! She won't say it's her birthday, not yet anyway. Either way, this post can double as action too. So have fun!]

I could tell you, but I'm sure you can probably guess.

[What could a crippled Viking possibly want that he'd never get?]

[thestoriesarereal]

[There's a very faint smile on her pensive face. She doesn't need to guess what it would be.]

I can guess...and yours would be understandable.

I haven't been keeping up on your stories in my book. I'll try to get back to them.

[ragnarsson]

I'm as close here as I've ever gotten to fulfilling it.

[Between being able to shapeshift and the leg braces Tony is making him, it's as near to walking as Ivar has ever been in his entire life. He smiles gently at Lucy.]

Don't worry too much about it. The good thing about stories is that there's always time to put them down eventually.

[ video | un: trickster ]

[dothelokimotion]

Speaking a wish out loud ruins the possibility of it coming true.

[thestoriesarereal]

[The video turns on to show Lucy looking pensive, not all smiles and cheer like she was before.]

Fair point...I'm just trying to get ideas...that's all.

video @frankenstein

[jolting]

Hm. Honestly, I don't think I'd wish for anything. I'm more the type to just work toward what I want.

audio

[thestoriesarereal]

But there are somethings you can't work towards...so...there's wishes.

Are you coming home soon? Is Jim doing better?

text; un:thunderbird

[tanker]

I'd wish for freedom, for everyone, back home. For everyone to have the same rights to a good, normal life.

what about you?

audio

[thestoriesarereal]

[What they're describing sounds like...they're in the middle of a war, or a fight. She wants to ask, but she's unsure of how to go about it without being blunt.]

It sounds like things aren't good back home for you. Are you okay? [Yes, small child is concerned.]

There are a lot of things I could wish for, but they won't come true here. For the curse to be broken...for my family to be okay. For any of them to be here...but since that won't happen, I don't know what to wish for.

[thestoriesarereal]

Like the gaming console thing?

audio, @hiccup

[thisisamazing]

Not for powers? Because flying on my own would be really cool. [He can already sort of fly with his suit, but it's really more like gliding.]

Hm. I guess... to have gotten to know my mom. What kind of things would you wish for?

[thestoriesarereal]

I think that's something everyone would wish for--flying, or maybe the ability to breathe under water.

[See, his wish is sensible.]

Things that are impossible and won't come true...so I'm trying to think of something else to wish for.

[apt666]

Money and power do people little good if they don't know what to do with them, after all.

If wishing worked, some things would have definitely been undone by now.

audio

[thestoriesarereal]

Depending upon the wish, it could work. Also depends on the realm, but that's getting into another story. [.....she did not mean to make that pun.]

So is that what you would wish for? Money and power?

audio; @altin

[bringbackgold]

Nothing, really. Anything I want, I'd have to work for in order for it to be worth anything.

[thestoriesarereal]

That's fine...I was just asking.

It's...impossible to wish for someone to come here, so I thought I could ask around for a better idea.

[killthepast]

[ LIKELY this overlaps with when Ren's still flowered into his early adolescence, so Lucy gets Ben right now. ]

To be normal.

[ ~teenage annnnngst~ ]

[thestoriesarereal]

[Well, hello new person.]

...Being 'normal' isn't something you really want. It's not fun...and it feels like part of you is missing.

audio; un: kirk

[winscenario]

I'd wish for my friends and loved ones to be happy and safe, no matter where they are. But I also know most things take more than just wishing to have them come true.

Why just one wish, though?

[thestoriesarereal]

[She knows that voice! It brings a sad smile to herself because he got hurt and he's still recovering.]

Because some wishes are more powerful than others--and they have limitations too.

Are you feeling better?

video; UN @ wild.links

[wildlinks]

Whatever wish I come up with it always ends up sounding selfish haha, [Yu sighs with a small smile.]

So... I'd wish for everyone I care about to be safe and healthy. I don't really need anything else.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ The video shows a little girl looking pensive. ]

Well, depending on how you phrase it, it might not sound selfish.

Mmm, that’s something that most people would wish for. Though, not what I had in mind.

[video | un: Procyon]

[warnotlove]

Happiness for a certain person that I'll never seen again.

[He might look a little bitter.]

Or maybe to just change things so our fates are no longer tied.

[thestoriesarereal]

[The video turns on to show a pensive little girl.But she can see that bitter look in his eyes.]

Were you in love with them? Or just very close?
