Right, came home after a shitty day at work and went on a binge-type. Now have 13 of the fifteen chosen (albeit not FINALISED) and the text for five or so of them in alpha.
Dragon’s Hoard - Zandelle - Filling The Heartland With Fear (power increase/weakness tied to specific collections/hoard)
Wrapped Up In Books - Belle And Sebastian - Our Inclinations Are Hidden In Books (enter into fiction/comics power with usual limits)
Box In My Head - Blue Oyster Cult - And Inside Is A Box, Another Box Within (inventory)
This one gives you access to your own extra-dimensional magical Inventory (88,000 cubic feet in size - or roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool) that you can use to store pretty much anything, and then later summon it into your hands at will. You maintain a perfect record in your head of what you have stored there, and it is always stored safely. A few provisos! First, no living creatures or beings - including you - can be stored in the inventory (but food is allowed), and you have to be able to lift and hold the object with your own hands. So while say, camping equipment would be fine, a car would not. Anything stored in your inventory is effectively ‘frozen’ in time until re-summoned, so if you threw a fresh-cooked meal in there for ten years before re-summoning it, it’d still be as fresh and warm as we it went in. You have to touch an object to store it, but can make it appear out of thin air anywhere in your field of vision when re-summoning it. With force, if you so choose. Not exactly heart-pounding stuff, but the utility is unsurpassed.
Father And Son - Cat Stevens - You’re Still Young, That’s Your Fault (you’re only as old as you feel? Exact limits/wording to be finalised)
We Built This City - Jefferson Starship - On Rock And Roll
You gain the power to magically create and/or fix city infrastructure, and home repair, creation and/or management skills. You gain the ability to conure and repair household items or more complex infrastructure magically. Create simple household items like a set of cutlery or furniture once a day. Create more complex items like appliances once a week. Create more powerful things, like the the wiring and electronics for a whole house once a month. Create a whole small home (and all its contents) once every six months. And once a year you can create a large scale project magically, like a small housing estate, or a subway system for a town or city. This also works for things like landscaping and industrial buildings at a proportional rate/time. Things will Just Work, and be government approved. The objects are real and permanent, but cannot be sold for direct monetary gain to yourself, otherwise they’ll vanish. If you don’t use the power regularly, you can store it up for later use as and when you want, like saving up for ten years to create an island town from thin air, ready to be filled filled with residents. Use your power for your own comfort and convenience, or for charitable causes - it’s up to you.
MoonQuest - Yogscast - Like A Rocket Inside
(You gain healing/power from direct moonlight, with the amount/rate tied to the phases)
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper - I Will Be Waiting (invoke a Groundhog Day timeloop once a year)
Welcome To The Machine - Pink Floyd - You’ve Been In The Pipeline (operate machinery with mind)
Cartoon Heroes - Aqua - Welcome To The Toon-Town Party
So you a fan of the Golden Age of cartoons, buddy? I’m taking the pioneers. Tom and Jerry, Buggs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wyle E. Coyote, et all? They were before my time, but man, I love those toons. And the world they lived in obviously worked on different rules to ours - I might be able to help you imitate a bit of those rules. Choosing this song means you have a defensive aura of ‘Toon’ physics. If you’re run over by a truck or have something heavy fall on you, you end up temporarily flattened, but you recover fine so long as you can re-inflate yourself. You can run across thin air as long as you don't look down. Your eyes might literally bug out of your head when you’re surprised, etc. Whilst you might think this makes you all-powerful, that’s not exactly accurate. For one thing, you can only distort the laws of physics around you for so long before they strike back - with a vengeance. The more your power alters physics in quick succession, the proportionately lesser effects it can protect you from. If it activates few times an hour you’d probably be fine, but more then that, and you become vulnerable - and potentially fatally so if you push it.
Castles In The Sky - Ivan Van Dahl - Do You Ever Wonder Why? (Ownership of a castle… in the sky)
One More Time - Daft Punk - You Don’t Stop - So, we’ve all made choices we regret in life. It’s only human. So I want to give you the option of a do-over, if you want. Take this, and once a year, you can re-pick your choices from this or any other Selection/Edition. You can repeat this re-choosing once every new year until eternity if you so choose, so long as this option is always one of your choices. The second a rotation comes when you don’t take it, that’s it. You’re locked with those choices forevermore.
Since there’s a bit of space left, so let’s have a limerick.
There once was a farmer from Leeds
Who swallowed a packet of seeds
Within half and hour
His balls were a flower
And his p***s was covered with weeds
Wandering Eye - Savlonic - I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
This one is a kind of two-tired clairvoyance. First level - you can mentally project your vision away from your body, allowing you to float away and explore like a ghost up to a three mile radius, in a kind of astral projection - like activating ‘free-cam’ on reality. You snap back your body at will, or if anything startles you enough. Second level - a minor form of precognition, allowing you to (with intense concentration) see up to ten seconds into the future. Why is this useful? Because it auto-activates in dangerous circumstances, like combat. You can tell your opponents moves before they make them, helping you get the edge over a more experienced or motivated opponent. However, like all the powers here, this does not make your invincible. For one thing, being able to see something about to happen means Jack if you aren’t able to stop or avoid it. Also using this power to excess with cause headaches - which can quickly spiral into debilitating migraines if you’re not careful. Like, throw up and wet your pants level. Keep it to a few times a day, and you’ll be golden, though. And hell, I’ll throw in x-ray vision to the package, why not.
Do you really wanna taste it - Wig Wam - Throw Your Dog The Invisible Bone - Hmm? No, this won’t let you summon Peacemaker. (That show kicks ass though. Who knew John Cena could act? Damn!) This allows you to generate illusions and holograms within your line of sight. You can create the image of objects, creatures, or some other visible phenomenon, as long as the total space used is no larger than a 20-foot square cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for as long as you maintain concentration on it. You can move and alter it in real-time if you want, or leave it static. It is not solid, and does not give off heat, sound or smell, it’s purely a visual effect, but it can be as complex as you want. Make someone think there’s a hole in the floor! Or cover up one that is already there! Make a decoy of yourself, make a ghost appear, use your imagination! The potential for shenanigans is vast indeed! Note - ‘In your eye-line’ does not include things viewed over screens or through binoculars or cameras or such - you have to actually see it with your eyes.
So six typed and seven to expand, plus three more power songs needed.
Suggestions/advice welcome!
