Whiskey Mouth, Frost Gaze, Nocturnal Flight

[Infected Mushroom]

Which is bigger?

Depends.

Ideally with the spirit of the hypothetical, it should be a range where it’s triggered often enough to be a problem/issue but not so Overbearing as to be completely unavoidable.

I could edit to clarify.

Cup the receptacle is more pliable and subject to rules lawyering.

Cup the measurement means you could be partway through a cup (the other kind) and it suddenly switch to bad whiskey mid sip.

Hmmm... let’s stick to the standard measurement of cup (unless it’s too Oppressive)

[Infected Mushroom]

It’s true that a receptacle could vary greatly in size. A water bottle could technically qualify.

I was thinking cup (the scientific measurement, the one used in cooking) vs some kind of averaged conception of a drinking cup size

How would it differ? Which would make more sense for the intended trade offs of the scenario (money vs considerable but not insurmountable inconvenience/dangers)?

I mean, then you're basically just giving everyone a death sentence by dehydration, unless my rehydration IV workaround is an option. (Or are we supposed to lick the melting statues of our victims for sustenance?)

I think intravenous or other forms of rehydration that bypasses the mouth is still fine.

It wouldn’t contravene the intended trade offs of the hypothetical because there is still a reasonable Cost for a substantial number of posters (it’s troublesome, also, some people like to actually drink soda, juices, water ex and taste them without the annoying transformations into whiskey)

For instance, I like drinking large quantities of non-whiskey beverages and the Whiskey Mouth would be annoying. I don’t much personally like the idea of being rehydrated using other means.

I definitely don’t want an automatic death sentence by dehydration

Wait, so you can still drink as much soda or juice or whatever as you want, or are they counted the same as water?

[Auphelia]

If you are confident you can manage all the potential risks

I would keep a low profile in case some governments decide they want to learn more about your powers

Who says they would so easily find out?

With a good hammer and chisel, they'll be chunks of ice in minutes and melted within hours, not that turning people into ice would remotely be something law enforcement might consider when someone goes "missing".

A few further questions:

1. Does this freezing gaze work through video?

2. If we look in a mirror, will we turn to ice?

3. Does tea count as water?

The degree of water content inside the other drinks would count towards the Whiskey Mouth effect

What about water vapor you inhale or exhale?

Gotcha. Rehydration IVs and small sips to deal with the problem of having a dry mouth it is, then.

Don't we generally put out more than we take in? Hence why your breath fogs on a cold day? Or am I making that up?

1. The video wouldn’t activate the Frost Gaze. This is in part for the protection of the poster as well because otherwise, a massively viewed video could cause the poster to supercharge and succumb to the Frost Gaze overcharge effect.

2. Let’s say no since it’s indirect. The Medusa myth allowed for the mirror to be a circumvention so let’s roll with that.

3. The water content of the consumed tea would count towards the cost, the non water content wouldn’t.

I would assume so, at least in the general sense. I know it’s one of the reasons breathalyzer interlock systems are so prone to failure - the high water content of our breath.

What about water vapor you inhale or exhale?

Let’s say not. Otherwise the Whiskey Mouth may auto-activate too often and result in an accident.

The intention is that the Whiskey Mouth effect would mainly be triggered by intentional decisions/calculations to drink and not by less than controllable factors.

Does it have to be whiskey mouth, or could I ask the being to curse me with vodka mouth instead?

Let’s stick to whiskey.

The reason I went with whiskey is because I recently watched Peaky Blinders Season 1-2.

Why, is vodka mouth better? You like vodka?

Not only dehydration, but also massive alcohol poisoning (which worsens dehydration). Never being able to look in the eyes of a loved one again also sounds horrific. How would you connect properly with other people?

So, no. I would not accept a certain death sentence for myself and those around me for any price.

Sunglasses better not fall off

Sports sunglasses won't.

I see...

You don’t like goggles?

[The New California Republic]

Sports sunglasses won't.

I see...

Why I'm wearing goggles would be more difficult to explain in comparison to sunglasses.

I suppose it’s true

You can say “I like sunglasses. It’s a fashion choice.”

What are you going to do with the 7 million?

[Thepeopl]

Whiskey mouth and ice glare would be annoying, ngl.

I would imagine it would only taste like mediocre whiskey and not actually become whiskey.
Which means, after 3 cups I just close my nose and swallow.

Ice glare, would really dark contact lenses temper the glare? Or else, really cool steampunk goggles it is.

But floating while sleeping? That would be horrible. Too cold! I love sleeping on beds whose temperature is 24 degrees Celsius. (75.2 degree Fahrenheit)
With a heavy blanket on top. So that would be a mummy sleeping bag to keep myself warm ish. And imagine all the spider webs you'll sleep in... And if you fall asleep in vehicle? Nope, no amount of money nor power will convince me to accept this deal.

[Odreria]

Why tf would I curse myself for life, of course it’s not worth the money

Just strap yourself to the bed, or handcuff yourself like I proposed doing.

Nocturnal Flight was heavily inspired by the Peculiars movie.

[Chan Island]

Terrible trade. Can't drink, meet or sleep anywhere without massive inconvenience and for what, enough to buy one California mansion or City of London penthouse? Nope.
