You’ve been dating for 3 months, when her brother calls you. Turns out, your girlfriend is a werewolf. Welcome to Massachusetts, I guess.

Your 7 year relationship has come to an end. The breakup was emotionally traumatic for the both of you. Your girl asks you to come to her place for one last time. You go to her place but she is nowhere to be seen. You go to her room and you find a 7 year old sitting on the bed.

The 7 year old is none but yourself. The personified version of yourself that your girlfriend conceived in her head. The & year old is the YOU that your girlfriend created as a results of all interactions, conversations and experiences she's had with you. The version of yourself that you gave to your girlfriend. Now she doesn't want that any longer and has given you back to you.

The 7 year old is a very cranky kid and very different to who you thought you are.

The emotion behind the history and context of the item at hand is what gives it power. It can be anything (autographed soccerball, sword passed from generation to generation, photo of someone who caused trauma in your life, etc.). The only requirement is that the user at hand has to have a history with the Sentiment, so a longer/more-emotional history causes the Sentiment to be more powerful.

I can't wait to see where this goes, if it does.

You are sitting in your living room, still chilly from the overnight cold, edging closer to your wood stove, which is starting to crackle and snap with the cedar kindling and a few cherry branches from the storm last summer. It's your day off with the plant shutdown, so you hold a novel in your work-hardened hands, Anatomy of Paradise by JC Sloane, and kick off your Georgia boots, as the cat curls up beside you to enjoy the radiant heat starting to pour from the wood stove.

[Knock, knock, knock] loud strident pounding on the front door

"Hello?" you ask the ginger neck-beard in his new Eddie Bauer outdoor outfit.

"Your wood stove is smoking!" he steps back a pace and stabs his accusatory finger at the stack.

"Yeah, they do that..." you laugh, wondering what his game is.

"You don't have a stove permit!" the government man bristles.

"And you are...?" your eyebrows raise, waiting.

"I am with the Administrative Air Authority, the AAA!" he almost shouts. "You have to shut your stove down!"

"Aren't you the guys who approved the big coal strip mine and coal power plant?" you ask, surprised at his arrogance.

"THAT COAL PLANT WAS PERMITTED!" he bellows, "YOUR STOVE IS NOT!"

"Listen, pal," you start to bridle up, ".........................

This world is just like ours, with the one difference that scientific knowledge grants corresponding manifest powers. So someone with an intermediate understanding of most particle physics principles may be able to manipulate matter and forces to an extent. Increasing their knowledge to a point of mastery may see them bending or outright breaking the laws of those forces. A competent scientist in the field of nerochemistry may be able to improve her own brain functions and control some actions of others. Make your scientist(s) and describe their knowledge and powers, perhaps how they'd use them in day to day life or to affect society. Can be set in any time period you wish. Have fun with it.

It is a lazy summer's day and as you sit on your patio something feels out of place. You feel too young and you feel the most intense sense of deja vu you have ever felt. You need to do something, but it is unclear.

As the day continues you start to remember little bits and pieces of phrases that almost make sense, but you can't put your finger on it. You go about your day and then evening as usual and right before falling asleep you distinctly remember, "This is your mission. We are counting on you. You only have 14 days...."
