You wake up in random major city and an eldritch aberration appears before you. He grants you the ability to understand and speak fluently the language of the country where you woke up. The aberration grants you a super power of choosing from the list below, but you must wreak maximum amount of havoc within 24 hour time period or you are trapped in a time loop for eternity, your power stripped from you, in the city. If you refuse, you're instantly trapped in the time loop. If the havoc satisfies the aberration, you get to keep your super power until you die, and the day is erased as if it never happened and there's no consequences for you. However during that 24 hour period you can suffer all (if any) of the consequences.
Powers: >ability to raise the dead as zombies The zombies however are not your usual variants, but instead of cravings to consume human flesh, they seek to copulate with the living. Fluid contact spreads the mysterious pathogen, making the victims turn into zombies too.
>telepathic telekinesis You can awaken telekinetic powers in others, but you must persuade people to use their powers telepathically. You cannot control minds, merely suggest an action and the subject can become aware of their awakened telekinetic powers and use them indepently.
>super strength You gain exponentially increasing superhuman strength when you hold your breath, every second doubling your strength. However when you stop holding your breath, your strength returns to normal levels and to gain strength you have to hold your breath again.
>shapeshifting You can shapeshift into any animal or human, but the longer you are shapeshifted the more your mind shifts into that of your shifted shape. If you are shapeshifted long enough, you can forget your own shape and how to shapeshift and become effectively the animal or human you shapeshifted into.

>rapid regeneration You gain the power to regenerate from any damage, even fatal (i.e. head chopped off, you either grow another head or if proximity allows reattach into your head) when given enough time. Your body tries to regenerate even when not damaged and you must regularly get hurt or hurt yourself intentionally, or the regeneration process manifests as uncontrollable cancer growth.
>fire control You are able to produce flames from your hands and are impervious to damage from flames (even those not of your production), but you feel the pain as if you were on fire when you summon the flames.
>extreme charisma You possess an uncanny ability to convince anyone to comply, believe or do just almost anything; to anyone you speak, write or even gesture, is word from God. The downside is exactly that, even your body language convinces the recipient so wholeheartedly that they will comply. Saying 'kys' out loud makes everyone around you suicidal. You have to ponder everything you do and say excruciatingly or stop caring at all.
>real sureralism Anything you imagine, you can manifest into existence. You do not have total control over this ability and even subconscious thought can manifest into reality, or passing thoughts.
Pick your power and tell how would you entertain the eldritch aberration.
Jeremiah Cox
Extreme charisma, tell Trump to nuke Moscow or tell Putin to nuke D.C. After the 24 hours are up I just make/commission a device to force my mouth shut unless I hold down a button. Boom, I get to continue living, the eldritch aberration is happy, and I get to make everyone do anything I want them to do.
Oliver Perez
The extreme charisma sounds nice, I'd choose that
Leo Rogers
>you must wreak maximum amount of havoc within 24 hour time >real sureralism
water supply replaced with lighter fluid.
Brayden Barnes
What would you do OP?
Jack Smith
>someone mentions death >die
Christopher Perez
Super strength. Be one punch man. Hold breath for 1m, punch harder than any nuclear weapon. Even 30s would be enough to break the earth. Exponents OP
Grayson Perez
we need clarification on real surrealism. if that's the case, it's a useless power.
Jonathan Ross
>destroy earth >everyone dies including you >eldritch aberration is bored because everyone died in like 10 seconds >eldritch aberration either does nothing and you're just dead or revives you and puts you in a time loop >bad end
Ryan Reed
I like this thread all super powers have a downsides which is cool It's not like become fucking superman and fly around shooting beams and shit
Gabriel Lee
Real surrealism. Spawn a worldwide orgy where everyone is getting raped, and if the powers allow it, by imitations of opposite sex family members. Or maybe animals. Rivers of vomit through Times Square. SUV sized spiders crawling through Tokyo. Xenomorphs swarming across LA.
I'd think both I and the aberration would have a wonderful time.
Connor Russell
yeah, i agree that real surrealism is probably the best suited for wreaking havoc.
the eldritch abomination would be most pleased.
Kevin Campbell
Jesus, I think you'd land yourself a full-time job off that shit you absolute villain
Cameron Carter
>Rapid Regeneration.
Go to an area where there is lots of people. Get naked and find a high spot where many people can see you. Make sure everybody is filming you while you continuesly keep cutting your dick off for several times. The video's will go viral pretty quick.
Owen Russell
it would be best if the city caused its own havoc. sure you could send in spiders or whatever, but that wouldn't be as entertaining as watching a fire-hydrant turn into a massive flamethrower after some car runs over it.
Zachary Morales
real sureralism clearly the best choice for maximum damage and maximum power in the future i've undergone excruciating mental exercises already so i'm confident I could keep the power under control *tips fedora*
Dylan Miller
>Real surrealism I would fashion a world which echos the madness of my thoughts, which surely would not only entertain the eldrich beast, but set myself as the god of the universe.
Mason Harris
I would start by terrifing individuals based on their individual fears, then slowly move to dismantle society as the news of my overwhelming power spreads. I would break every powerful individual until the world collectively broke down in fear
Kayden Ward
I guess you've got a point user now that I think about it
Alexander Reyes
Also definitely try to kill the aberration
Blake Miller
>>extreme charisma i will tell everybody i am the presidents of the united states and that russia fired nukes then trick someone to broadcast me to the Russian president privately so that i can talk reason to them(lies) and tell the russian i am really putin and to fire all nukes at the united states as they are fireing. after i will go to china and tell them to fire there nukes at north korea and them self as the united states are on there land and its a honor death
Wyatt Allen
also added i will tell them to get me a space ship and let me be outside the earth to....save your presidents life
Joshua Bell
you could just tell the aberration to kill itself.
Brayden Butler
ability to raise the dead as zombies go to Calverton National Cemetery raise the dead there and watch them run in to new york and let them clear ahead. let them clear police station take the weapons inside and start blasting in the fleeing survivors.
Colton Wright
>>real sureralism >make a device that summons the eldritch aberration enemys. >put them all into a room >create a device that summons the eldritch aberration >make the room inescapable. >put him in a time loop with them.
leave and keep my powers
Nathaniel Gomez
Real surrealism Replace human perspiration with vasoline Fingers become penises so people have to be sexually aroused to use their hands Conjure walrus pits every half mile Walruses run rampant in every city Everyone feels the urge to shit but never can
Lincoln Martin
Yeah but what happens when you're up at 3 am and think of some evil monster?
Jacob Edwards
You have to know what would trap the aberration before hand and its enemies. You cant think of something you know nothing about or not even know exists.
Dylan Cruz
think of something to kill the evil monster. watch fight. imagine that my house is intact again. go back to bed.
Luis Thomas
so i can't create entropy. a infinite void of nothing with my power to create anything i want. Whats stopping me from using my powers to give me the knowledge of that so i can beat him
Isaac Walker
I am the eldritch aberration, I grant super power for shit and giggles.
Grayson Evans
Like it reads >even subconscious thought CAN manifest into reality, or passing thoughts Can, not will.
Thomas Cox
Checked and seconded.
Luis Morris
What about dreams tho. im guessing those count so whatever you dream becomes reality and Ive had dreams where I just die without reason.
Robert Turner
The water is infected... W-with fire!
Nathan Carter
Fucking LOL.
"Ima kick your ass nigga." "OH YEAH? *inhales sharply*" "What the fuck are you doin?" "*turning blue*" "Nigga I don't know what the fuck you doin but --"
Gets punched through a fucking brick wall.
Asher Foster
Well this is too easy and simple.
Real surrealism.
Imagine myself with better intentional control an restrictions over my power, and imagine myself unable to die or be altered or suppressed by anything.
And for good measure, imagine myself as aberration+1 level of power so it no longer has any sway over me.
Literally god and can just give myself the other powers without downsides if I want..
This is what happens when you aren't specific enough about details of powers and the restrictions
Gabriel Sanchez
Super strength. I could do some really cool shit in 30 seconds.
Need to pimp slap a guy so hard he shits. Done.
Someone parked like an ass and you want to flip their car. Done.
etc...
Jayden Lopez
He didn't say super strength comes with super durability. You'd break yourself in half trying to do shit that your body structure can't handle.
Punch a car away? Nope instead your hand explodes and you go flying backwards because it's big heavy metal and you are just flesh with way less mass.
The only correct answer is surrealism and imagining your downsides away immediately.
