Whiskey Mouth, Frost Gaze, Nocturnal Flight

[The New California Republic]

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.

7 mil in and of itself is an odd number anyway.

7 million gets burned that fast?

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)

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

That is the only part of the deal worth considering, IMO. Get yourself in bed, strap yourself in like Hannibal Lecter and cover up with the sheets.

But the other two -- what if the sunglasses slipped and you turned someone you loved to ice? And alcohol poisoning is a really serious risk if the water part of everything you drink will turn to whisky. That, and I can't drink whisky.

And, if you can't consume water, does the water in the intravenous saline some people propose attempting rehydrating with also turn into whisky? It's kidney and liver failure waiting to happen.

So, it's not worth it.

Sports sunglasses that are nigh on impossible to slip off, and drink from a mug instead.

London property prices are no joke. ;-;

But in all seriousness, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to spend lots of money. I've heard of folks spending 10s of millions on a single night of drinking in Monaco. It's only really when you're in the hundreds of millions that you are so utterly wealthy that money really, really stops being an object.

... Which is a very round about way of saying gimme 700 million dollars.

Yeah! Make it a nice, round number, like 10 million, right?

I'm going to say no, mainly because of the frost gaze. Maybe if I was still single it wouldn't be so bad but as I don't want to turn my wife into ice and don't want to have my eyes constantly covered at home, it's not worth the money.

The other two don't seem so bad, although that depends on if I can exploit a loophole with the whiskey mouth. If it really only applies to water then I can just drink a lot of soda. I could also just throw a tea bag into a cup of water for a few seconds and then it isn't technically water anymore, it's a weak tea.

[Ifreann]

There is no amount of money in the world that would get me to agree to risk killing anyone I made eye contact with, that's insane. It's like suggesting that I walk around with a loaded gun pointed forward, with my finger on the trigger.

[Ethel mermania]

Too much risk of random death, even for me.

No thank you.

[Shanghai industrial complex]

Of course!Water?It can be ignited!Very good.Frost Gaze? Now that I'm super capable, don't mess with me.And....emmmm Who doesn't sleep in bed?

As I mentioned, money isn't worth what it used to be. Even with a stronger currency like the US Dollar, seven million isn't what it used to be.

Assuming the average NSer is younger and will live for 60 more years on that money, that equates to being able to live on approximately $116 thousand per year, not accounting for inflation that will surely erode the buying power of that lump sum over the years. While that money is a fair bit above the average need for a very good standard of living in most places, it would most certainly not be enough to be willing to accept a curse like this.

Perhaps offer a standing rate? $1 million a year is not unreasonable under such circumstances. It provides the good life you might expect from a curse trade-off whilst not being such an obscene sum that the answer is an obvious yes.

7 million won't even cover the wrongful death suits you'll be hit with when your anti-magic goggles slip off on a busy street.

Oh, who would think, upon seeing someone turn to solid ice, that a bystander looking at them would be the cause?

I would take great pleasure in slowly working my way through the meddlesome billionaires of the world, bringing the disgustingly rich to their knees!

Who would think that they're being seriously offered a pile of money in exchange for suffering magical curses?

Murdering people is bad.

No thank you.

Fair enough

1. Whiskey Mouth - any water that you drink beyond 3 cups will transform into cheap whiskey upon entry into your mouth. If you spit it out, it will transform back into the original drink (to become whiskey again if you re-swallow and so forth). This condition resets every 24 hours.

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober!

[Geneviev]

I would not accept. The risk of harming other people is too great.

[Infected Mushroom]

What if my eyes get itchy when I’m wearing goggles?

[Heloin]

What if my eyes get itchy when I’m wearing goggles?

You're not Cyclops from the X-Men. Also that you think you'd need to wear goggles is telling that you don't wear glasses.

I feel that glasses may fall off

Yes, you're reaffirming that you don't wear glasses.

[Infected Mushroom]

Yes, you're reaffirming that you don't wear glasses.

So... glasses don’t fall off?

[Heloin]

Yes, you're reaffirming that you don't wear glasses.

I can't remember the last time my glasses fell off.

[Auphelia]

I can't remember the last time my glasses fell off.

The question is if you're willing to take the risk. Not even so much as falling off, you must concern yourself with whether they might slip just enough to allow a mostly unobstructed view of your eyes to others.

I don't quite think goggles are needed, but there is always a small danger in that.

The more you elevate glasses falling off is a sign that you don't wear glasses. The greater risk is forgetting to put them on.

I'm a social reculse, I don't plan on going out to see other people anyways.

Indeed

Staying at home substantially reduces the risk factors of the Frost Gaze; though it’s not eliminated
