Dan smiles and steps back, his mind racing, but he had just been silly putty and had no ill effect, but better be safe "Genie, I wish to be able to contact you no matter my form, condition or location...I mean, unless that's already a thing built into your magic" She smiles and nods "It is, but you saying it out loud is reassuring. I've had masters not understand it, and wind up trapped as whatever when all they had to do was think 'Genie I wish...tsk. Pity" She laughs "It actually wasn't the two that wound up like that were such horrible men."
He likes her manner, even if he is a bit wary of her power and how mischievous she is. "Ok, then next wish, I wish to be able to regenerate and reform myself in whatever form I was at the time, from any damage or harm. Oh and I wish that such damage or harm never caused me any pain greater than like, a paper cut" She gestures and this time her smile is far less mischievous and much more appreciative "Granted and very good thinking master.... that would have helped you avoid your little incident of putty panic. But, do you want to test that wish, hmmm?" and there her mischievous nature is back, and he is pretty sure she means test doing something really ridiculous things to him. But he smiles and nods "I do, but want to know what you have in mind first Genie" She looks out over the ocean, eyes flutterring, then turns back. "Do like sea life master?" Odd question from her but Dan nods "Care to feed the fish?" her grin is positively predatory. He figures it out "You mean to tell me, there is a shark out there, and you want to friggin feed me to it?" she giggles "I knew you were too smart to trick into doing that" Dan smirks, and while she surely has a manner of taking control of things, he chuckles, and then takes his dive knife out, cutting his arm below where the wetsuit end, blood rushing down it. Oddly, it hardly hurts and he looks at her "Ok, meal time for Jaws...Genie I wish to be transported to where you obviously know the shark is" She jumped back as he cut himself wondering what was wrong with him, but then smiles...he called her bluff in a most unexpected way. She DOES like this master. Leans in and gives him a quick kiss "Have a nice meal, master" and she gestures.
Dan vanishes and finds himself treading water a good two miles out from the island. The water here is cold enough that his wetsuit is only thing keeping him from going into shock with the blood loss. Speaking off blood, it is swirling about him and he wonders where the shar...ow" he feels a tug at his arm and looks to see what happened, eyes widening as it is gone, ripped off bodily at the bicep, muscle and bone sticking out "Ok the whole not feel pain thing works...hey" and something pulls him under briefly. Through the blood he sees....more blood, and realizes his left leg below the knee is gone. A sleek shape comes barreling in...he has time to think, oh reef sharks, not a single but..." he can't see anymore, can't hear, but somehow is still thinking. Genie dropped him into a feeding frenzy and his body is being torn apart by some unknown number of sharks. If he screwed this up, he's either dead, or going to spend the rest of his days digested and crapped out as shark shit, but hey, it didn't hurt. He concentrates and reforms, his body whole and intact, treading water at the surface "Yes....oh man" the sharks are still there and him regenerating was like putting out a fresh tray of meat that buffet and he gets ripped apart again. Dummy that he is tries to reform once more, only to get ripped apart and eaten a third time.
Sighing mentally "Ok, while my wish worked Genie you still got me, can you bring me back there please, I wish it" He can hear her mental giggle and feels a tingle.
The scene at the beach is NOT pretty, she brought him back but its up to him to reform. His body parts, chewed and shredded are spread all over the beach. He manages to reform, even as some seagulls start to pick at his carcas, flying away when he reforms. Genie is there smiling "Ohhh that was like a really cool horror movie, we should do that again and film it" He looks at her, and knows he should be mad, should be scared, but it didn't hurt...and he's fine. He sighs "This is how its going to be with you, playing around with me like a toy?" Genie softens her expression "No master, it;s how its going to be with you, making wishes that let US play. I did that with your permission, you even figured out I was going to feed you to sharks. You got one detail wrong, the whole reforming thing, when sharks were still present, but yes...I did that because you asked." Dan is caught of guard but realizes she is saying the truth. "Good point, ok I wish that I could regenerate at time and place of my choosing, so no one could see me reforming, to keep my ability secret" She smiles and gestures "That is very wise master. Now if reforming will expose your ability, you will be trapped as whatever, until it is safe to regenerate. Might be awkward sometimes, but safer in the long run" Dan is confused "What do you mean, and please tell me, not show me, ok?" She smiles and nods "Pity, I was looking forward to it, but here" she gestures and makes a delicate crystal vase in her hand, which she promptly smashes on the ground" No one around you can reform easily right away..but take this same vase" she reforms it "and if it were to smash in a museum, with security cameras...you would be trapped as the shards of crystals until you were off camera and out of sight. Might take hours, even days, but once able, you could sense it and reform" He chuckles "So what you are saying is try real hard not to get completely wrecked in Times Square" she laughs "Unless you have a few weeks to wait for all your bits to be out of sight" "Ok, and keeping this secret is more important than being fast. Wait, when you smashed that vase, why did you use that example, its not like I am a vase?"
Genie giggles "You could be, indeed I can turn you into anyone or anything...shall we play some more?" You struggle with that, and wonder "I will admit, I have been curious what it feels like to be a woman, or even one of the sea turtles I study, but never thought about what its like to be some object? What is it like Genie?" she smiles "This is hard to explain, but I can show you....may I?" Dan shivers a bit and says
