Yukari's powers... What would you do with them?
« on: November 16, 2012, 04:10:14 AM »
This one's been on my mind since reading Yukari's VERY long entry on the TVTropes page: "Reality Warper"

So i have a question for you all. If Yukari somehow gave you full access to her powers for a day (maybe Eirin talked her into it as an "experiment"), what would you do with them?

There are only three rules you'll have to abide by using said power.
1. No "Groundhog Day" scenarios. That is, no bending time into a loop/otherwise keeping the day from ending. You are, after all, merely borrowing them, and she can take them back whenever.

2. No trying to turn on Yukari. You'd lose.

3. Everything you do stays that way.

Also, Yukari offered very nicely to leave a gap to Gensokyo open as an easy escape should you do anything... Untoward or illegal


So, what would i do with them?
Maybe tweak some sizes a bit. Someone gets on my nerves, they lose about an inch off their height. Probably take about 4 or so times to notice. I'll need to make an exception for my lunch table, or they'd all fit snugly in my pocket by the time lunch was over. And since i couldn't afford to have a loose end or i'd be on the run, let's just leave it at they needed to disappear.
Gaps between classrooms. Of course, i'll need to make sure the teacher isn't looking...
Maybe move some classmates around as a prank.
If on a lab day,  muck with group experiments so that there's no way the results are right.
Maybe stick a double pair of gaps by eye and hands so i can surf the web without leaving my desk.
Not really going to abuse said powers in public.
when me and my bro are alone though... Well, let's say there's a lot of possibilities and leave it at that, k?

Yes, i'd love to do A God Am I, but at midnight i'll be completely vulnerable and on the watch list of every government agency existing. For me, at least, a day of godhood isn't worth spending the rest of my life on the run or in Gensokyo. Some of you, it might be.

Okkkkk.....
Lets say that Yukari gave you the ability to use her power while she keep them too for one day (Since if she completly gave you her powers from one day, you turned into the Youkai of boundaries and she in a normal human, you could easily play with the boundary of reality and make her dissapear from existence :I )

So okay, you cant go against Yukari. You still can do whatever the hell you want without any kind of worries. You can go, rape a cute girl of your class 7 times in a row (Sick example but you get the point), play with the boundary between (dont known the exact one, lets call it...) lies and truth and make it like it never happened. You have changed the past so you never raped her. You didnt went back on time, so it doesnt break the rule 2.
This same example can go even further and say "What if I stabbed my teacher's eye with my pencil when she yelled at me 6 years ago?" and puff, instead of a normal student you are now a drug dealer surrounded by B*tches while being the 1# of the most wanted list in USA.
(^ All that sick stuff is to make clear that with the powers of Yukari you can play to be God and even more)

First of all, I would change my past to give myself tons of money (Yay for money)
Then I would play with the boundary between lies and truth and say "I have in my hand an advanced version of the hourai elixir that makes me inmortal unless I try to kill myself". (Yay for inmortality without consequences)
I would then do LOOOTSSS of stuff, but I think the most important would be see things that a human of our time would not be able to (The bottom of the sea and all the creatures that live in it, Machu Pichu and know why it was abandoned, the roman empire and things like that.) (Yay for wonders of the old world)

Yay for awfull grammar :I
Never forget.... those good old times~

Screw the powers, I'm taking the gap to Gensoyko for a whirlwind tour!

IRL there's a lot of things I'd want to do (like get some WRs and stuff) but I'd rather earn them than mess with the boundary of lucky and unlucky or perfect and imperfect to just get them.  So yeah, take the gap to Gensoyko, go sightseeing for a half a day, go back to the outside world, use the gaps to explore the world for the other half, use the boundary manipulation to make it so I don't need to sleep.

Well, if I had access to Yukari's powers, I'd go to Gensokyo. Like, screw boundaries and god powers, living in Gensokyo is all I ever need.

Soooo, I'll just pretend I can't go to Gensokyo because that ruins the whole question for me.

Since they're temporary, I wouldn't change a lot of things; I'd give myself some money without exaggerating and enjoy a day/week/whatevertimeIkeepthepowers of bliss; Gapping myself to places, pocket-sized dimensions to carry my things, repair my laptop, y'know, stuff like that. It's a blessing and a curse, really; if I have too much fun with them, I'll drop into depression when I lose those abilities-

Oh wait you said ''day''.

Then I'm gonna put myself in other universes from various fandoms and vice-versa. (bringing those characters in real life). I'd have some of the best field trips ever~

Fiddle with humanity's genetics so that we aren't living modern life in bodies suited for hunter gatherer societies (thereby eliminating eating disorders and the like, discrimination, some kinds of stress and psychological issues and what-have-you), assuming that falls within the scope of some sequential use of the powers, then go observe interestin' historical events and people for a bit, as well as ancient wonders in their prime, and link my perception with someone else's to see if colour and the like is the same for everyone.
If extreme mathitude comes with the border manipulation, make some advances in the sciences, particularly medicine... and perhaps leave a few nifty monuments buried in deserts or deep in rainforests depicting mythological crossovers (like Heracles fighting the Nemean Sphinx, or Susanoo beheading the Jormungadr) to see what wacky theories crop up when they're discovered.

And who among us wouldn't tweak with the border of language so that we didn't have to wait for translations before playing/watching Japanese stuff? Apart, of course, from those who already speak English and Japanese with equal fluency, who have obviously already had this opportunity.

I was going to say "don't lie guys, I know that you would go between the boundaries of the men and women's bathroom if you had Yukari's powers" but then I read this:

See that thing that China built? ?

Yeah, totally establish this thing. Made it so that it is permanent and self sustaining on the energy of the universe or whatever (which seeps in from the gap). Then using this gap I shall traverse to distant stars instantly, stealing their technology in a one way ticket back to earth, proceed to reverse engineer it with some of the brightest minds, and finally... maybe then we can do some SPACE TRAVEL. (that is, if the gate closes after Yukari's one day deal is over)
I'd have a lot of money by then and I can already write a biography based on this one day.

Because long term > short term.
and objectively I probably make something at this point to ensure aliens can come too, so we can all enjoy a bit of War of Worlds scenario while we advance to unite humanity under one nation and one flag.  (so to speak, the other option being we end up invaded and dead)

So many possibilities...

Hm...

Experimentation's, spur-of-the-moment ideas and generally messing around aside, I would defiantly see what can be done with myself.
There are certain things I would not hesitate a second to remove and/or fix.

I would then do a quick tour of the world, like visit a few landmarks and take a few pictures.
Perhaps fix a few problems and troubles with the world?
If possible, I would also check out the planets in the solar system and Keppler-22b at the very least.
I bet NASA would just love the pictures.

Money? Well yea.

I would spend the majority of the time touring Gensokyo though. That is something I would never miss.
I would also go about and see if I could make some sort of device or artifact which would enable
me to revisit Gensokyo at later dates, and without causing any damage to the barrier or causing any
incidents. Perhaps learn, or give me the ability to learn, danmaku while I'm at it.

Personally, I'd first use gaps to get to places quicker, much as she does.
After taking care of distant business(like getting some food from every single nation.), I'd start to get bored, and do whatever comes to mind.
Border of sweet and spicy? Watch as some poor sot eating ice cream just has a five-alarm fire in their mouth.

I'd expand the borders of my system abilities so it will be able to affect real entities. Then... ugh. Systems are one thing, but borders are completely another, I ain't used to deal with borders...
Oh, I know. I'll turn myself to complete youkai. After expanding the ability. That way, yes.
After all, I'm already the Youkai of Systems, though incomplete.

The fun thing about the power of boundaries?
If you're clever enough, you really can do anything you want with it. The only limits are your own imagination, and what you can think up.

Its probably too exhausting to do anything significant. It would be better off doing something simple.

It is like if you have Marisa's magic, what would you do? It sounds cool, but it is likely a lot of work.

I'd probably just spend the day in Gensokyo goofing around.  And maybe bend some borders so my weak wrists and ankles were stronger and I could have less problems with standing for long periods of time or drawing.

I was playing IaMP today to see some of the bad endings, and while waiting for Alice to get beaten up enough to use a continue, I went off to the interwebs. When I came back, Yukari seemed to have gotten bored.





If we were to assume that everyone wouldn't bat an eyelid at these powers, or knew about them already or somesuch, I'd use this gravityhax and wormholes to make a rockin' amusement park/indoor playground/acrobatics centre.
Also, I'd open two gaps, one directly below the other, throw a waterwheel in between, add water, and print business cards that decree me the slayer of entropy. Or wait for some math that proves this inadmissible, and rejoice in actually being able to comprehend it.

Hard to say what exactly I would do.  Would probably do something that makes the world into being unified as Ieyasu Tokugawa would say "under one sword", but that would probably make me not welcome.  Whether unwelcome or not I would love to take that gap and spend the rest of my existence with Yukari.  I am happy enough around her to accept that.

You are about to break the balance between geniuses and morons. Someone have to sweep paths, caryy newspapers, sit in shops and do other similar things.
I as the system youkai say that manipulating those borders is a bad idea unless you want to turn all world into a chaos.

Move all that stuff on the other side of the truth/lie, the reality/dream or the memory/oblivion border, and all will be fine.

I actually meant it in the way that we would lack experience and routine with the manipulation stuff. One single mistake during manipulating an important border and everything can go down the drain. Obviously Yukari would fix it if something really bad happens, but it is stated in the opening post that "everything you do stays that way".

1. Harass my little brother for three hours. (I can be very imaginative) :]
2. Play around with various borders to get rid of those endlessly annoying little things that take their toll on my nerves.
3. Tweak around another bunch of borders to make my life (and the life of my relatives, excluding my little brother) nicer.

I know that's pretty vague, but this post would get longer than I want now, if I expand on that.
The only difference between good and bad is, that good feels more comfortable for all, while bad focuses on the individual's desires. Thus, good is widely spread badness. Every good person is also a bad person, but not vice-versa. Do you still want to be a good person?

You people come up with so many ideas.
The following is a joke idea. Yeah... this is SO stupid and it's something Yuuka would get a kick out of... and probably no one else.
I'm not serious about this... If everything went back to how it was before (which it won't), then maybe i'd do this...
Add the ability to everyone to manipulate anything... but make it entirely consistent on random chance... as in TF2's Roll The Dice plugin.
Yeah, i predict this world would last 24 hours maximum before someone's random wheel made it unlivable.

Also, let me correct something. If you ROYALLY screw something up, like gravity or the Hakurei Border, or do anything apocalyptic, yeah, Yukari will step in and fix that after the 24 hours. But she won't do a total revert. For example, if there was a nuke dropped. yes, she'll try to fix that, but she won't heal all the people with radiation poisoning. The point was that this isn't a thread for usage that is going to result in completely wrecking stuff. And let's just assume that you can't ACCIDENTALLY fudge up the borders. The other point WAS that if you do anything illegal, the police are still going to be after you the next day. However, you people realized that with the power to manipulate lies/truth, the police are a non-issue because "you did it" turned into a lie. I didn't realize that. Sure is interesting to see what you all would do.


On second thought, i retract this entire clarification post. Make of my OP what you will.

I'd probably start out with more mundane and domestic things. You know, using the gaps to not have to use the stairs or grab snacks from the kitchen without having to leave my room... Then work up to not having to walk and walk all the way to the store- just jump through the gaps! And if I were able to wing it, I'd hop all around the world to other countries and visit far-off friends! Oh ho, and pranking shenanigans. I can never pass up the chance for a good prank!

And we can't forget a stop in Gensokyo! Probably dangerous, unless you go and see the right people. uwu
