So I had this idea that might help some of us to stretch our writing muscles before making some posts. As most of you know, I occasionally bring out the die and roll it for how actions are performed by other people's actions. Well this time, YOU will roll the die, and write out the result with any of your characters. I'm not asking for a big page of text, just say a minimum of 50 words. How this is going to work: 1. Every week, I'll make a new thread with an action. 2. With any die, either as a physical object or a random number generator that ranges from one to six. 3. Depending on the number, you will write about how your character of choice performs the action. It can be open ended as long as the action follows the number rolled. 4. Here is how each number determines how the action is performed. Remember, this is optional so you don't have to do this. It's just an warm up or exercise. For this first thread, let's start off with something simple. Action: You bend a spoon.

Rolled a 5
Kaeru found a spoon just sitting on the tabletop. For no reason in particular, she went up to the spoon and begun to bend it with force. Not only did Kaeru just effortlessly bent the spoon, she somehow twisted it into a complex, spiral shaped sculpture that could've been sold in some department store as a household decoration. She placed it back where it was and skipped away in earnest, a smile on her face.

Lisette decided to test her strength out by bending a spoon, something she'd seen done before but never tried. To her surprise, she was successful in this endeavor. The bent spoon formed a rainbow-like shape, making her wonder if she should paint it into a rainbow.

Rolled a 6
Dirk was bored, almost to the point of doing something really stupid. He had found a spoon on the counter-top and picked it up. Dirk tried to bend it, but oddly enough he couldn't. Then the realization hit him, *maybe the spoon isn't real*. As he reached that conclusion the spoon bent by itself, freaking Dirk out and causing him to drop his spoon on the ground and run away.

I'll bite. Sounds fun.

This was definitely going to be a new take on a classic move. Telekinetics the world round were known for their practice of spoon bending though Alaster had never quite understood why. Deforming a spoon was just inane! What good was a bent spoon? Literally any other task would likely have been a more practical use of their abilities but whatever. If a psychic could do it with their mind, he could certainly do it with his voice.
"Hey there. Could you do me a simple favor? All I need for you to do is curl in on yourself. And yes I get that it sounds stupid, but do you really want to go through your days being someone's tool for eating? I mean don't you remember that visit to the smelter? That moment when you could have become almost anything in the world? Well this is your chance to relive that dream. To escape the rigid confines of what you've become in order to become something else, something artful." he spoke to the stainless steel spoon in between his fingers, beseeching it to abandon its shape.
And for a second the spirit stared at him and he at it, and he thought it would take some more convincing but then it started to bend, curling until the tip of the spoon touched the back end in a nearly perfect circle. He had to admit he was surprised. Metal usually didn't give in so easily.
"Well bravo."
