GRAB BAG

Come one, come all, Polyites, and gather round, gather round, for the handy dandy organizational post, the first of a hopeful many to facilitate more fun, more angst, and more shenanigans during your monthly grab-bag curse weekend!

Check here for a list of possible curses you can inflict upon your strike your hit your use for your characters! And before you get to volunteering or asking fellow players for ideas, a quick poll!

[Poll #1583768]

If players would like, we'll provide a more monitored and categorized post, for example asking everyone to put the curse they're using in subject lines, linking to things in the main post for easier navigation, and the like. But we can also provide a more open forum instead, with players posting as they will, no links, etcetera. It's up to you which sort you'd prefer to get, so if you'd like, give the poll a whirl!

And either way, lo doth the post arrive! Have at it!

I've said this before, but- I know I didn't raise you like this.

It's only practical, Mom. Even if you don't want all the cash and cars and property and assorted financial assets, I do. Which means you have to get them so I can inherit them when you kick it.

...

...By which I mean, of course, that I'm doing it all for you, Mommy.

A shame, son, that I won't be accepting anything at all from him. And so you get nothing.

Greedy little anklebiter.

I AM ENSURING YOUR FINANCIAL WELL-BEING LIKE A GOOD SON OUGHT TO. YOU WILL TAKE IT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

IF YOU WANTED TO ENSURE MY WELL-BEING AT ALL, YOU WOULD HAVE STOPPED ME FROM MARRYING HIM.

I WASN'T THERE

I WAS ON THE MOON

WITH STEVE

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

WHAT KIND OF SON GOES TO THE MOON WHEN HIS MOTHER'S GETTING MARRIED

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

THE KIND WHOSE MOM FORGOT TO INVITE HIM TO THE WEDDING

THANKS MOM

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

IT WAS A SHOTGUN WEDDING, WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?

... IF IT HELPS, YOU'LL GET AN INVITE TO THE RECEPTION!

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

IT'S OKAY

I'LL TAKE AN INVITATION TO THE DIVORCE INSTEAD

AND BY DIVORCE I MEAN FINANCIAL ASSETS

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

I'M GIVING EVERYTHING BACK. INCLUDING THE RING. WHICH APPARENTLY IS GOING TO BE KOBE-BRYANT-FEELS-GUILTY-FOR-CHEATING-ON-HIS-WIFE-AND-BUYS-HER-A-GIANT-ROCK-SIZED.

MOM

MOM NO

WHAT THE HELL MOM THAT'S MY COLLEGE TUITION DON'T YOU DARE

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

I WOULD RATHER WORK 90 HOURS A WEEK AT THE LIBRARY TO PAY FOR YOUR EDUCATION.

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

I WILL GO TO THE PAPERS ABOUT THIS.

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

AND SAY WHAT?

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY DIVORCES SINGLE MOTHER; PAYS NO ALIMONY OR CHILD SUPPORT WHATSOEVER

SINGLE MOTHER NOW SLAVES 90 HOURS A WEEK AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY TO PUT HER BELOVED SON THROUGH COLLEGE

THERE WILL BE OUTRAGE.

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

YOU WILL, OF COURSE, MENTION THAT I REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY SORT OF MONETARY COMPENSATION?

I WILL DISOWN YOU IF YOU TAKE THIS TO THE PAPERS. THE SCANDAL SHALL BE ENOUGH WITHOUT PRESS COVERAGE.

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

NO. I WILL NOT.

IT IS VERY SIMPLE. I WANT THE MONEY. WHAT PART OF THIS CONTINUES TO PRESENT AN ISSUE?

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

THAT YOU CARE MORE ABOUT THE MONEY THAN HOW YOUR MOTHER FEELS ABOUT ALL OF THIS.

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

IF YOU CARED ABOUT ME, YOU'D JUST TAKE ALL THE MONEY AND GIVE IT TO ME.

THEN YOU DON'T HAVE IT AND I DO. EVERYBODY WINS.

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

I CARE ABOUT YOU ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FOR YOU MYSELF.

[chessmastering.livejournal.com]

Okay look fine I just want him to suffer in every way possible because he treated you badly.

HAPPY NOW?

[fireplacegirl.livejournal.com]

But son, he didn't treat me badly at all.
