AKA Jayce Talis panting & groaning for 45 seconds.

the average ballpoint pen can write approximately 45,000 words in its lifetime before needing a refill

therefore, to possess a value equal to that of a pen, one would need 45 pictures

how much mightier than the sword is the pen, exactly?

Darling, I would do it again

When they first see this place where evil things are considered normal and they have to play along unless they want a fight. Fancy parties where something is clearly wrong about the servants. Normal people newly hired to unethical labs. The classic underground slave auction or “pet” store.

They bring luck to others, just by standing there. Of course it doesn't work on them. They might even be less lucky than most.

Do they feel it, every time someone drains them by scratching a lottery ticket next to them ? And, of course, winning ? The drain, the exhaustion? Maybe it's even painful? Do they have the slightest control on the amount of luck they give away, or are they like a tap others can turn on and off ?

How ? Maybe whumpee is nonhuman, and it's just one of their characteristics. Then you can put them on a leash and drag them everywhere with you. Luck guaranteed.

Or maybe it's a world with powered individuals. And this is whumpee's power. Which everyone abuse. They have a lot of friends, but none care about whumpee. They just care about their power, no matter how painful it is. Maybe both heroes and villains want to use them.

Or maybe it's due to an experiment. Lab rat whumpee created just to bring luck to others, a living artifact.

The (possible) end of the story is here! Thank you to everyone who has read this story, and as always kudos and comments are so, so appreciated! I've loved writing this with all my heart. JAYVIK NATION NEVER DIE

A puppet ruler who can't be trusted to behave, so their "advisors" keep them bound with what looks like decorative jewelry to those who don't know.

An overthrown royal forced to kneel next to the throne, chained like a dog, as a symbol of the new ruler's power.
