[WP] Halloween is coming. People at work are pretty excited about it, except for that shy newcomer that no one has been able to get close to. As October progresses, the newcomer gets increasingly nervous, burning incense and putting up strange symbols on post-it notes around their space.	37
[WP] A seemingly common, mundane, everyday object claims it used to be a sentient weapon of legend; and now it's trying to get you to take it on a quest.	36
[WP] When Merlin put the sword in the stone, he didn't anticipate that some random stonecutter would just come along and crack the rock in half and claim the sword that way. In hindsight, he really should have seen that coming...	31
[WP] Everyone thinks the supers are so cool, and wishes they had a power. Not you. You feel forced to wear gloves and long sleeves for fear of touching anyone directly, because you duplicate others' super powers for a limited time after touching them; whether they realize they have the power or not.	27
[WP] A new student freaks out when they catch you glancing at a bizarre diagram in their notebook, then mutters something about "it's okay, it shouldn't affect you", because you "don't have the blood" or something. Only later do you realize you were definitely affected.	26
[WP] Nimzi wasn't born with magic, and was never formally trained in any of the Ways. No one - not even her - would ever have guessed she could go toe-to-toe with a Cardinal Magus.	11
[WP] "Oh no," you mutter to yourself as you see the sigil, invisible to most eyes, shimmering on the forehead of a stranger glimpsed through the crowded square. Sighing, you pull out your amulet and set out to find the marked individual, hoping you can avoid making a scene in this crowded place.	8
[WP] You work in a museum, and you're readying a beautiful, pristine Celtic sword for display. Supposedly, it's cursed or something; there's stories that people who work with it die in gruesome accidents. Whatever. You're not worried. Not until the museum director visits you with a guest...	8
[WP] One day, your beloved pet begins speaking to you, saying they were chosen by "the counselors" to be your familiar. "The counselors" have been waiting for you to discover your abilities, but it's taken too long, and now events have forced them to intervene...	7
