GENIE'D! Page 6

More rundowns of the rules for our new genie! Just a few more pages of exposition, folks! As has been the case with these dialogue heavy comics, some of the dialogue has been extended here in the transcript to provide a little more information that simply could not fit into the comic itself. We also get a bit more of a peek into Faye's personality and how...differently she may see the human world.

Name That Cat closes tomorrow, currently we have a tie! If there's still a tie by the end, I may either do a run-off poll with the two options or perhaps cast a vote myself!

TEXT

Panel 1

*Zara and Faye enjoy a quiet moment in the apartment. Zara is not quite sure if it's the stress of a very long and weird day catching up to her, or the fact that a cute girl is pushing her face into Zara's enormous breasts, but the sensation feels nice and is oddly calming*

Zara: "Ah. Hugs are nice..."

*Zara snaps out of the moment of bliss*

Zara: "Wait a second...

Panel 2

 *Zara pushes Faye out of her bosom and holds the human-sized Fae at arm's length*

Zara: "You never answered my question! Why am I a GIRL!? And don't I need a lamp? The other Genie had a lamp!"

*Faye giggles*

Faye: "All Genies are girls, silly! And you don't get a lamp until you get much more powerful! The more wishes you grant, the more powerful you'll become! And don't worry, people will be compelled to make wishes around you!"

Panel 3

*The sound of someone walking outside the apartment is heard*

Man: "Ugh, I'm so tired. I just wish I could fly away from all of my problems!"

Zara: "Granted! OH NO NOT AGAIN!"

Man: "Hey why are there feathers growing out of my-CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP!"

*Zara rushes over and cracks open the apartment door, peeking out to see a small bird flapping and fluttering it's way down the hallway before disappearing from sight. The cat scampers to the door as the sounds of a panicked bird fill the space beyond the apartment*

Faye: "See what I mean?"

Cat: "MEOW!"

Panel 4

*Zara peers out at the now empty hallway, listening to the fading sounds of the bird before closing the door and turning to face her new companion*

Faye: "You have a LOT of excess magic, but not too much control. When you get stronger as a Genie, you'll be able to grant some CRAZY wishes in the future!"

*Zara holds her head in her hands as the cat continues to paw at the apartment door*

Zara: "What have I done!? I turned him into a bird! Is there a way I can cancel the wishes? How can I change all of the people I've transformed back!?"

*Faye dons a thoughtful look again*

Faye: "Um, maybe? You might be able to get someone to counteract those wishes with a wish of their own but...why would you want to do that? You were only giving them what they asked for, mistress!"

Panel 5

*Zara fights back tears*

Zara: "But I've hurt so many people! The bird, the cat, that couple in the park!"

*Faye just waves her hand and shrugs*

Faye: They'll be fine. That feral cat looks happy and I'm sure the bird is as well. The couple can't think as a statue. The guy at the park and the one you zapped into the TV might have a hard time, but that's magic for you! Win some, lose some!"

Panel 6

Zara: "But what about me!? MY life!? Beside the fact that I'm a hot girl, I lost my home with Dave's wish!"

*Faye fixes Zara with a 'really?' look and turns, casting a hand around the apartment*

Faye: "Haven't you noticed? Dave wished for you to move in with him, and that made all your stuff move over from your apartment"

*Zara begins recognizing familiar furniture and objects, things that she had bought and kept in her old apartment*

Zara: "Oh, right. I see my stuff now...But that really doesn't fix the rest of the problems though. What do I do now?"
