The Magic Within (Needs Many More....semi lit --- lit)

Luki Veles

Luki nodded after Dyanna's explanation.
"Ah yes, the days of our youth where we were all young, bold and stupid. I remember them fondly." He said before moving on to her question. "Let's just say that a cat has nothing on me when it comes to curiosity."
If curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought him back, then Luki would have been resurrected more times than he could count.

((Btw...what time of day is it...? XD ))

Iris napped for a good while before she showed signs of rising. Sitting up, she rubs the sleep from her eyes, glancing around still out of it from her nap. Was she just dreaming before...? She couldn't tell. Her mind was still numb with sleep. Her eyes glance down and she sees the lamp. Not really thinking about it, she reaches for it and looks it over. It was buried in the dirt, but it looks like it will shine up beautifully. In her dream, a genie had popped out and had said he granted her wish, but how could that happen? This is a simple lamp. That's all. She was just dreaming...Besides, this lamp doesn't belong to her, even though the genie said otherwise. It probably belongs to the sultan seeing how beautiful it is. She frowns, sad, "Perhaps I should clean it up and give it back today..." She sighs and picks her rag up, beginning to clean the lamp of the rest of the dirt that still had clung to it. Having such luxury isn't befitting someone of her station.

Luki Veles

Luki's left eye twitched after he finished speaking, eliciting a small sigh from him. He glanced up at the top of his lamp before looking back at Dyanna.
"Again, I must apologize." The genie said. "But it's not like I can do anything against it. I'll talk to you later."
Luki traced a circle in the mirror, shutting it off before issuing forth from his lamp again. His master was...cleaning his lamp? Ok, that made some sort of sense, it was rather dirty looking. On top of that, she seemed pretty bummed.
"What d'ya need?" The genie asked of the girl.

(( No clue. ))

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris watched as the strange orange smoke appeared again, taking form of the boy she remembers seeing in her dream. She sighs and goes back to cleaning the lamp, "I have to give you back...you say you belong to me, but you don't. You belong to the sultan." Growing up, she was always taught to look up to the sultan and obey his wishes. She cannot go against him...But, she was sad. It was nice having someone new to talk to. And part of her wanted to get to know this boy better. Looking up to him, she gives him a gentle smile, "By the way...my name is Iris. What is yours?"

[ninjaingaround]

Luki Veles

Luki raised an eyebrow at the girl's words, actually rather surprised by her attitude. It almost gave him a brighter flicker of hope concerning the human race, almost.
"Sorry kiddo, it doesn't work that way." Luki replied with a raising of his hands and shoulders. "The laws of magic work outside the laws of man and therefore aren't subject to the sultan's rule. I don't belong to the sultan and I never have. If I did, you wouldn't have been able to release me the first time you rubbed my lamp."
He paused, trying to think of the best way to get it through the girl's head. The silence was filled up by her introduction. Well, that was good. Now he had a name to go with the face.
"I'm Luki. And I'm yours, Iris." The genie said. "I can't belong to anyone else, not unless you die."
Ok, so that was a half truth that left out the fact that she could also give him up to another person by having them rub his lamp, but she didn't need to know that. Luki had been stuck in that lamp, extremely bored, for who knew how long and he wasn't about to go back to that. Aside from that, he loathed the idea of being in the clutches of some other power-driven pig.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris looked at him confused. This boy, Luki, was hers...just because she rubbed the lamp? It was hard for her to understand the concept of something so extravagant as the lamp and Luki himself, that someone like her could even think to hope to own. But, she also doesn't understand why she has to own him. She looks up to him, "But...I don't think that's fair...why must you be bound to me...?" She didn't like the idea. She wanted him to be free, not obey her. Granted, she was the same way with the sultan. She is a servant...so she doesn't want to order him around anymore than she would want to be ordered around. And it's not like she could just stash him away. He had a sense of loneliness to him...But, she couldn't carry that large lamp around with her either...

[ninjaingaround]

Luki Veles

Luki had to give Iris credit, it wasn't very fair that he had to be owned by someone. But that was just the way things worked for genies, it was a common fact.
"That's just the way things work with genies." The genie replied. "Its a pretty normal thing for me."
The only time Luki could have any semblance of fun was whenever he had a master. Otherwise, things tended to get boring inside the lamp.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris frowns, "That's so sad..." She stands on her table to give the genie a sympathetic hug...She didn't know why, but she just felt like she had to hug him. At least she had free will. She could pack her things and move wherever she wanted when she wanted...the only thing tying her here was she needed money to life to buy food, clothing and such. In a way, she was trapped, herself, by society...

[ninjaingaround]

Luki Veles

Luki felt another bout of confusion when Iris hugged him yet again, saying that his position was "so sad." Had she missed the part where he'd said it was normal? Somehow, the genie was starting to think that she didn't quite get his point. He didn't let it weigh on his mind too heavily, it wasn't that big of a bother.
"You did hear the part where I said it didn't bother me, right?" Luki said before worming out of Iris' hug so as to better speak with her.

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris lets him go and looks up at him with her big warm brown eyes, "Yes...but still..." She then looks up at him as if she were thinking of something. She was still overwhelmed with this whole genie business. He told her she could have practically any wish she desires. But, she doesn't seem to have any wishes she wants to make. He already said he granted her wish she asked earlier. Time will tell, when she finally confronts her superior again to see if his wish truly did come true...

Looking to the lamp, she picks it up and looks into the spout, "How do you fit in there...?" She didn't get it...

Meryem Salima Abdallah
"Genie of Seduction and Order."


Meryem laughed lightly at his drowsiness, her heart fluttering at the casual use of love in his words. She was not surprised, although she knew very well that it usually wasn't easy for someone to make her feel this way. It wasn't easy to impress a genie that had lived a long time as she did, period. But here was the exception, laying beside her.

She leaned her hand against the side of her head, her elbow propping her up as she stared at him, no particular reason for her delayed reply. "Was there not something I was supposed to look forward to?" she asked, repeating his earlier words to her. Her free hand traced non-existent patterns across his chest. "Let me inside your tale," she told him, leaning ever so slightly closer, her eyes softly glowing. "You won't regret it. I promise."

{@Imperator: Yes, that's exactly what it is. How'd you catch on so fast? xD

And, honestly, everyone. (Mostly D, Imperator, Ninja, and Julia.) What time zone do you live in? Everytime I log off - which is always 12am for me - I log on the next day in the morning and find that I missed like 2 pages worth of posts. D8 }

[ninjaingaround]

Luki Veles

Luki shrugged off Iris' words, figuring that it would take awhile for her to accept it. He smirked when she started inspecting the spout of his lamp, asking how he managed to fit inside.
"Easily." The genie answered with a grin.
He had to admit, magic made everything easier.

(( MST time zone for me. ))

[JuliaFinalea]

Iris looks confused, "How?" She knows he comes out in that strange orange mist, but she wonders what it's like on the inside. Is it squished? Does he stay in that vapor form? It was confusing...And how was she going to bring him with her so he isn't stuck here at her house, bored? She looks up at him, unsure of what to say or even do...She then remembers that she was going to eat something and spies the bread on her table. She rips off a piece and politely offers it to him before she nibbles on the other half of the bread.

((I live on the East Coast biggrin It's 4:18pm here right now. XD ))

[LeVive]

{ Mine's EST, too. Ninja here is two hours behind us. x3 }

[Imperator Gnome]

((Because I'm awesome >.>

And I am a westy, I just have ungodly hours of sleep >.> ))

He smiled at his genie before he finally gave into temptation once again. It had always been hard for him to deny a beautiful woman her wish, and for some reason in the morning he was particularily vulnerable to the wiles of his companions. Undoubtedly that was why he hated interaction in the mornings, but now that he was caught in her snare he was helpless. "What is it that you want to know? My childhood was normal, and everything leading up to now has merely been work. I doubt there is anything in my past to interest you my fair genie," he said as he let his eyes close once more.

WAs it all an act to get preferential treatment from her master? Or were her feelings genuine? Questions that he would need answers to before he made any more decisions about her. Until he got those answers though, nothing could happen if he were to allow himself to partake of this deliscious temptation.
