Character(s): Genie and Beast
Content: Genie investigates the source of all the troubling noise in Iriela Apartments.
Setting: Iriela Apartments
Time: Week 18
Warnings: None?

Some said it was a wild animal, others some sort of ghost. Whatever it was, it had grown to be a concern of the residents of Iriela Apartments. Genie had arrived quickly to the scene upon receiving word that residents of the building had been in distress. He had yet to hear any of the frightening roars, violent banging or spine-chilling smashing the residents had mentioned but the look on their faces as they described the noises was more than enough evidence for him that it was real. He pondered silently to himself while he climbed the flight of stairs which lead to the suite number he had been given. What could be the cause of such worry among the habitants of the apartment building?

Often it was something harmless, in this case the genie suspected it to be a locked up Lumen in this suite, but he couldn’t be sure. Apparently there had been reports of shouting too. Maybe someone else had gotten curious as to what was responsible for such ruckus and chose to investigate as well? The Lumen could have easily startled the individual or vice versa. He frowned at the thought. Urd probably wouldn’t let him keep another Lumen. He would unfortunately have to let this one return into the wild. Oh, well. At least it would be safer there than it was here.

Genie summoned a cleaning trolley, as well as a maids outfit for himself to be complete, as he approached the declared ‘beasts’ room. Without even the slightest worry he knocked on Beast’s door three times before calling out in a feminine voice “housekeeping!”

Genie looked alarmed by the beast’s reaction. The last thing he had intended to do was upset Beast. If he caused the beast to pass out too, well! This would all have just been too embarrassing. And here he had been trying to be subtle. This had ‘FAIL Blog’ written all over it. He held out his arms expectantly to catch Beast however much to his comfort he discovered he was still capable of holding himself up. That was close. The genie lowered his arms and allowed a relieved sigh to escape him. He would continue to keep a close eye on the beast from that point, just in case he did begin to show signs of falling over again. The last thing he wanted was for the poor guy to crash through the floor. The repair would be troublesome. Not that he wanted beast to get hurt either. He simply preferred if Beast could refrain from causing damage to his apartment again, especially after he had just fixed it.

He noted the cringe Beast gave when he looked at him and, when he looked behind him, he found why: the rose. Somehow he had managed to miss it tucked away behind the remains of the couch while he had been cleaning. He frowned in disapproval. That wasn’t the sort of thing to leave lying about now was it? Not that he was all surprised. Beast didn’t particularly look as though he took good care of anything he owned. How the rose managed to still be in decent piece was a mystery to him.

“You’re telling me never heard of the Genie of the Lamp before? Oh, have you ever got a lot to learn!” the genie opened his mouth to continue but after a moment decided to close it. “Maybe its better you sit down first. You don’t look too well.” With a simple snap of his fingers, a large cushioned chair appeared behind Beast. He gave the beast a gentle push to have him fall back into the chair. In the mean time, a small rounded table appeared beneath the rose and lifted it carefully from the ground and out of harm’s way. “There, that’s better, don’t you think?”
