This choice: What do you mean only if I am a living form? • Go Back...Chapter #6What do you mean "only if I am a living form?" by: DougTF  "Hold on Genie...well, wait, do you have a name, or is ok to just call you Genie?" she giggles once more, which she seems to do easily and often, which is not a problem for you because she has a cute giggle. Hell, everything about her is cute, and were this a different situation, you would be hitting her up to try and get her number, her snap, see if she was seeing anyone. But she nods "Genie is my name now master. Ages ago, on the time of the pharaohs, I was a slave and as such had no name. Genie is who and what I am now"
You blink, since that sounds horrible, and shake your head "I am sorry you had to deal with being a slave, and then sucked into this bottle and forced to do whatever the people who found it before would wish. I'll try not to be like that toward you Genie" you smile, and her expression changes, not a giggle this time, but a dawning realization that turns into a relieved smile. But your question...
"That first rule, what do you mean..'if I am a living form?' I'm obviously alive, and only way I would not be alive if is I were dead, so I don't understand" Genie smiles, giggles a bit, and nods "I understand, but master, I am magic. If you wished to be some form that was not a living thing, you would then not be alive, thus unable to die or be killed. So that is the situation I mean in describing that rule to you"
You are floored: she can turn you into...an object, a thing? "But that would kill me, I would be dead, because not like a toaster or swimsuit or car or whatever can think or sense! Plus, I could still get destroyed as some thing, and that would kill me!" But she shakes her head, blue hair moving in a soft wave about her face, red lips in a mischievous smile.
"No master, once you are a nonliving form, you can not die. Yes, your form could be destroyed, burned, crushed, melted, eaten, whatever, but you would be persist. And your mind is intact even if your form were inanimate. You could still see, hear, and feel, no matter what you had me turn you into, because you would need to be able to mentally communicate your wishes to me"
Now you are really floored: burned? crushed? EATEN????? "What the hell Genie, you mean you could like turn me into a churro, munch on me, eat all of me, and I'd be like, hey no biggie, just getting digested is all????" Your tone is clearly incredulous and almost exasperated, but she still just smiles and nods "Yes, exactly master... did you wish to be a churro? I have never had one, but I would eat you if you liked"
"NO! No, that's ok, no churro for me, um" a bit of a panicked look on your face, and then another shake of your head as you notice her looking at you somewhat expectantly. "Just let me know what to make you master, to show you what I mean...easiest way to explain it is to do it"   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
