[WP] Every person in the world leaves a colored path behind them based on their mood. The colorblind are relegated to the worst positions in society, unable to judge situations. You’ve been lying about being colorblind and no one noticed because, well, you can read minds	40
[WP] As a geologist, you search far to unearth unique rocks and crystals. After adding a lovely raw emerald to your collection, a robed man approaches you on the street and kneels, “I pledge fealty to the Lord of the Forgotten Stone”. But the other Lords dislike the outsider disrupting the balance	39
[WP] You dodge a guard patrol, moving through hallways you painstakingly memorized over the past month. You glance up, checking for cameras when you lock eyes with a black-clothed figure perched in the rafters. You both freeze. Then you both sprint for the crown jewels, plans tossed to the wind	34
[WP] Your father was a gifted doctor, meticulously studying a set of hanging bones from a thrift shop, working himself up from nothing. He died today. Numbly, you go to his office for his personal effects. “Why?” You ask heartbroken. The skeleton in the corner perks up. “Because he stood up to them”	34
[WP] People know their name when they turn five. People with the same name are born with the same personality and skills. Certain names are put in prison from day one because they are so prone to violence and aggression. You’re one of these, but you’ve been lying.	28

[WP] Magic exists in our world and you are an expert, directing it, controlling it, fixing it. You allow others without this power to use it, charging them gold to handle the power they are ill equipped to wield. You’re an electrician and the fantasy books are starting to affect your work.	23
[WP] Halfway through writing a book, you decide it’s not very good and put it down. The characters are disappointed, never knowing what happens to them. They meet up with the other half read books and form a strike	22
[WP] You fell asleep while finishing a paper. The next day, the paper is done and the sandwich you made has been reduced to crumbs. You are congratulating yourself on sleep-writing and eating until you find a note under the plate, “Next time less mayo - Rob”	19
[WP] No matter how cold it got in your village, you felt fine. People thought that the blood of the old ones ran through you, the ice elementals that used to run rampant. It’s true, but they have the wrong old ones, you’re part fire elemental.	16
