I've had more borderline nighmares than actual nightmares. How was yours?
Interesting.
what happened in it?
Long story short I went to this place where I'd get a wish if I could endure 100 different things each worse than the last, I was there for months and dream-me ended up with PTSD.
You took the deal? Reminds me of puella magi madoka magica exept they actually told you what to do. Did you go through the whole course?
I did, yes. And at the end I decided not to make the wish (it was set up so you had to choose beforehand and couldn't change your wish, and the final trial was basically designed to make you full of regret as to what your wish is, and if it's bad, so you can only either go throught with it and live in regret or cancel your wish and live in regret (technically you could also go through the torture all over again for a new wish)).
I'm not sure if that's unbelieveably cruel or a good deal.
Well, no one ever runs the course a second time, by trial 20 I was being submerged in lava and worse.
Seems like it would be dumb to try twice. It was completley optional though. Some people would wait a lifetime for a miracle though.
The course is pretty insane, and no to runs are the same. It tailors itself to whatever will make you be hurt and upset most. Plus there are ghosts that will steal your soul if you don't have enough hay to appease them and you need enough food for the months you spend there as well. The course itself can'r kill you though.
What I'm getting at is it's a hell of a lot of prep to do it and survive, and 100% guaranteed you come out of it traumatized even if you stop at #20. It's also not well known and I was the first person who made it all the way. Going through it again would be unheard of.
So did the last trial stop you wanting a wish?
Yes and no.
Can you explain htat? It seems confusing. I know dreams are confusion but still...
It stopped me from going through with it, it didn't stop me wanting to.
Too traumatised?
Pretty much, and it made me feel guilty about the wish.
Well the nature of the trail seems impossible anyway. I'm sure I'd reject it. I might not've back in 2009 but I would now.
Oh, no, you could totally go for the wish if you make it. You'll just feel like crap for forever.
That's what makes it impossible.
No, you feel equally crap if you don't.
If I feel too crap then I can't make a wish.
You could.
Yeah but then I'd regret it.
And you'd regret not doing so as well.
I'd regret not doing it anyway. I've learned that from the things I've watched. If I wish for somthing selfish then I'd regret only doing it for myself and if I wished for somthing selfless I'd regret it when my life goes down hill. I'd need to be in the best possible condition if I was ever to make a wish.
It's so easy to get around that.
How?
Wish for more wishes/ wish for magic powers and then help others.
Never thought of that. This is why I should be in the best condition when I make my wish.
I figured out my wish before I hit 6 years old, even the wording. And I accounted for genies that'd try to scam you, not being able to wish for more wishes, and things that would punish you for being selfish.
I thought of that sort of thing when I was that age too. Since then my wishes have changed though.
I thought of a wish that could grant me anything though.
I did back then as well. I only just remembered it there. What was your way around it?
1. Wish for the power to grant any power I desire to anyone but myself at no cost to myself or others and the knowhow to do so.
2. Grant said power to a friend except altered so they can only grant me powers.
3. After they give me the power to give powers to myself I do the same for them.
That would require quite a bit of trust between the two of you.
Nope. It's set up so I only give them the power to give me powers initially.
What if they give you a power that you don't want?

That's still rude.

True. I was just waiting for him to finish though. It's like a bit of un skippable dialogue in games where you already know what you need to know and just want to get back to playing.
