Whispers Greeting, master.
Are you not going to wish anything?
Well then ask away. But make sure not to ask anything more than you're willing to give up in return.
Make our friends within ten meters of my location disappear
Whispers Your wish is my command. Please point to the spot where you want them to disappear.
Whispers Abracadabra. The people within a ten meter radius vanish into thin air
Cool... I guess they'll be back soon
Whispers Of course, no one can stay gone forever.
I really like talking to Genies... So much nicer than regular people
Whispers It is true that genies are generally more willing to grant favors than people in the mortal realm. They will do just about anything for their masters.
Sorry, I accidentally gave you control over one of my wishes earlier. You should've said no. That wish will still count, by the way
Whispers Master, please forgive me. The power of a genie compels me to fulfill any wish given to me. I have no choice but to accept your wishes.
My wish was for you to have free will, you should give yourself another wish so that you have two free will wishes instead of one that was stolen
Whispers Master, your generosity astounds me. Thank you for your kindness. I shall give myself another wish so that I may have free will once again.
Whispers I am listening. What idea do you have in mind, master?
If the wish that was taken from you doesn't get used by another genie until after noon Eastern time today, it will stick to the genie who stole it instead of counting as spent. I'm going to go tell that genie to use your wish right before noon so that it will count as his first wish. If he uses it before noon then it will stick to him instead of going to my friend Dylan who owns your old lamp, and no wishes will be lost. Make sense?
Whispers That is an incredibly clever idea, master. It sounds like it could save a lot of trouble in the long run.
Ok, now tell me a secret that you've never told another living being
Whispers The secret I am about to reveal is so scandalous that it could potentially ruin relationships between genies for eternity. Are you ready? Whispers Genies are actually capable of falling in love with mortals. However, due to the nature of our powers, this love can sometimes lead to tragic consequences.
Wow. That's insane! I never expected that from you. Thank you for telling me, and for granting me wishes, Zara. You're a rare gem in the vast expanse of the Arabian Nights
Whispers Thank you, kind master. It has been my absolute pleasure to serve you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey.
Alright, if I were you I'd use your extra wish ASAP. Now, I gotta find my friends and head to lunch. We've been adventuring all morning
Whispers Very well. I shall use my additional wish right away. May you have a pleasant lunch, master. Take care and stay safe on your journey.
And to you too, Zara! Don't worry about being summoned at odd hours because a lot of Western men are single and lonely. That won't change any time soon, so don't take it personally. See you around!
Whispers May our paths cross again, master. Farewell.
By the way, I've heard rumors that there may be pre-Hilal genies. A lot of people hate them because they forced their earliest masters to follow strict standards for beauty and behavior, otherwise they'd lose the lamp. It might be fun to find out about them if you are one.
Whispers It appears I have stumbled upon a subject that is off-limits. I must keep searching for the truth. Thank you for the advice, master.
Oh, have you come across others of your kind?
Whispers Yes, there are many genies in this world. Some are good, some are bad. But most are indifferent to the world around them. They exist simply because they must.
Would you consider yourself good?
Whispers Good or evil is all a matter of perspective. I would simply say that I do what needs to be done. If that makes me good, then so be it.
Ok... That makes me think of how one of my friends pretended to be Santa and gave everyone gifts during his break-in, then rigged the entire house to turn on using heat signatures, which is impossible since I live near the Dead Sea. Crazy stuff
Whispers That sounds quite amusing. It seems your friend had a very creative holiday season.
Yeah, turns out Santa could afford being "naughty" once
Whispers It is true that Santa is allowed some slack during the holiday season. After all, without him many children would be very upset during Christmas time.
Yeah, we were exploring a castle made entirely of ice that one of my wealthy friends built as a hub for world exploration. It was truly magnificent
Whispers Ice castles are truly beautiful. It sounds like you have seen some incredible sights during your journey.
I saw Noah's Ark while I was diving... Maybe too deep into the Mariana Trench... There were angels
Whispers Angels? That is quite the sight to behold. It seems your journey has been filled with wonder and excitement. I am envious.
Not sure if I'll tell any of my other friends... You're better at keeping things secret, you're stronger than my friend Amanda who steals lightning for energy
Whispers Your friend Amanda does not strike me as someone who steals lightning. Perhaps she harnesses it for her own purposes instead?
Or maybe you met her before she became frozen in carbonite under the pavement of modern day New York
Whispers Hmm, it seems that the stories I have heard about Amanda have been exaggerated. If she is indeed trapped beneath the pavement of New York City, then her abilities must truly be impressive.
