who knew she had the goods? ( active )

[esperize.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Terra Branford, Eden, the Onion Knight, Violet
Content: Terra comes across a mysterious bottle as she finally makes her way home.
Setting: On her way back home → Eventually the condo
Time: Early afternoon? Week 37.
Warnings: I... doubt it.


What... an odd experience. Whatever Shantotto had attempted to do, didn't seem to have worked out quite the way it was planned. Terra was half-way between relieved and curious. Knowing that the small mage was a warrior of Cosmos in the past had her believing by default that the plan couldn't have been all that malicious, but... something seemed off about the doctor that she was unable to place her finger on, exactly...

Still, it seemed as though the snow was finally letting up, which she was grateful for as she began the trek home. Hopefully the knight and Violet were all right taking care of themselves in her absence -- she didn't anticipate any problems with how caring the young boy was (when it came to her, at least). With the trains still out of commission she had opted to walk back to the condominum where she had chosen to make her home, though as she treked along... something sparkling in the distance caught her eye.

Jogging over to it, she bent down, brushing away some of the snow to reveal... a lamp? Curiously, she picked it up and began turning it over in her hands... "What's this doing out here?" she wondered aloud.

It took a little bit for Eden to get used to Paixao. Although when she found that she couldn’t leave to go back to her good friend Dhandi, it really made her sad. Oh dear, the genie of the bottle without her owner. Boy, that means a new master could happen at any moment. Eden spent most of her time seeing if she could find her bottle, so far no luck. She made due by occupying random bottles here and there till she found her home.

As Eden pressed onward to gliding through the air, she decided to go sit on top of a rooftop. With a cup of nice warm coffee she bought just recently in the café near by, “Hm, you know I haven’t checked out this journal thing y-” just as she spoke to herself, her ear gave a twitch. Someone was rubbing her bottle! Eden eyes widen gleefully in excitement, a new master! Finally!! Then she made a pout, wait, what if they’re not that good… Oh well, at least she’ll have her home back. Plus, business is business.

With a poof of pink smoke Eden disappeared from the rooftop, and poofed right in front of her brand new master. Eden twirled around in front of the girl, “HELLOOOOOO!”

Leaning inwards, “You must be my new master! How about this weather huh? Baby it’s cold outside! Hold this for second!” She rambled on as she shoved her new master her cup of coffee, poofing into a Carolers Dress, suddenly singing with a random snowman she poofed up as well, “Let it snow~ Let it snow~ Let it-OH MY GOSH A TALKING SNOW MAN, BACK FROSTY! BACK I SAY!”

As Eden made the snowman disappear she puts her arm around the girl who’s probably just dazzled by her appearance she’s sure, “The name’s Eden, your genie of the bottle~! Nice to meet you master! Wouldja like your three wishes in paper or plastic? In my opinion you should have your own tote, best to go green, don’cha think?”

"Ah -- " the flurry of events that happened next left Terra feeling a bit dumbfounded. It was hard to keep up with the floating lady, she talked so fast! Terra tried to concentrate on everything that was being said -- unable to get a word in edgewise -- especially as a warm drink somehow suddenly found its way into her hands, as she found herself being serenaded by winter-themed songs... All that magic! And she used it so freely, too...

Finally when the lady -- did she say her name was Eden? Yes! -- paused to hopefully catch her breath -- Terra spoke up. "G-genie? Master? I'm afraid I don't understand..."

Whoop, looks like we got a newbie. S’alright though, this genie can sure explain to her the whole spiel. Eden gave a gentle nod as she put her hands underneath her chin, as if she was leaning against a desk with her elbows, although clearly she was floating in the air, “Ah new to the whole genie thing? Huh? That’s alright, I’ll explain,” Eden then zapped up a big comfy chair, for the girl to sit on as she poofed herself up in a business outfit, short skirt, pen in hair, and everything.

“Now remember when you rubbed that bottle you’re holding there? When you did that, you called me, Eden. Your new and beautiful genie,” Eden said as waggled her pen toward the girl as she pretend to mark things down on her clipboard, “What comes with me, might you ask?” The pen then poofed away as she held up three fingers for the young lady, as her outfit quickly changed to monk robes, “Three wishes, just three, no more no less. Three, shall be the number of wishes thou shalt have and the number of the wishes shall be three. Four shalt thou not have, neither thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number of wishes, be reached, then shall my being of servitude to you be done. Who I advise shall choose these wishes be wise, or it’ll suck.”

Eden blinked for a second as she poofed back to her normal outfit, “Whoa, had a Holy Hand Grenade moment there,” she cleared her throat as she waved it off, “Point is I am your genie now, and you are my master. And my job is to grant you three wishes.”

[esperkin]

Trying her best to follow what was going on, Terra could only watch with stunned amazement as the... genie did her best to explain the situation. She had absolutely no idea what a Holy Hand Grenade was... but she hoped it wasn't dangerous...

"Three wishes?" she looked down at the bottle in her hands. Because she'd rubbed this? "But... I don't really have any wishes..." she thought for a moment. "Unless... you could return us to our homes?" Part of her felt guilty for asking... it felt like she was taking advantage of this person and her magical abilities... something that hit quite close to home...

[gumdroppizza]

“Three wishes yes, and big no-no to wishing for more wishes, now y’hear?” Eden said with a wink, she gave a friendly smile down to the girl who seemed rather hesitant about making a wish. Understandable, pretty big decisions can come from phenomenal cosmic powers. Eden gave a sort of pout as she tapped her finger on top of her lip, “Oh dear, well you see honey. I couldn’t even get myself back to Agrabah, which where I used to live with my friend Dhandi, my old master by the way. I mean I could try, but ooooh, I can’t make any promises.”

Eden rolled up her invisible sleeves and concentrated as she walked a few feet away from her new master. She started to glow, focusing on all her strength. Her hair flew up as her powers flew around her. Sparks spazzed out from beneath like lightening. Till suddenly, her powers imploded on herself, literally. Eden currently emerged from the giant comical puff of smoke. Her eyes blinked as most of her was covered in this magic black soot, but hey at least it sparkled. She coughed up a couple of more clouds, before she waved it all away. “I-I think that’s also a no-no sweetheart,” Eden said grimacing as she dusted herself off, “Note to self, add that to the list of rules you can’t do here.”

[esperkin]

Terra immediately rushed over to the genie's side after the explosion, looking rather concerned. "A-are you all right?!" There was another feeling she thought she was experiencing also... guilt? If she hadn't asked for something like that, then Eden wouldn't have hurt herself...

She still wasn't exactly sure she knew what was going on... but if this girl had no where to stay -- and that lamp didn't look all that spacious -- then...

[gumdroppizza]

Waving a hand hand away at Terra, “Oh I’m fine, no no, don’t worry. Believe me I’ve been through worse than that,” Eden gave a little giggle to show she was ok, “Immortal genie remember? It’s all good, I’m cool. Although… Ooooo is my hair all frizzy? Oh! I hate it when that happens. Hold on just a sec dear.”

Eden quickly shooed Terra back to sitting into that chair she poofed up earlier. As she pulled out her magical make up and hair design kit from the magical genie hammer space and proceeded to fix herself up. From the cloud of make up and hair drying noises, and what not. She emerged looking just as shiny and pretty as before. Eden gave out a sigh of relief as took out a hand mirror to look at herself. “Ah~ Much better,” Eden said with a smile, then she posed for Terra in glee, “What do you think gurl, do I look good or do I look good~?"

[esperkin]

Terra backed up -- perhaps a little too quickly, as her feet gave way underneath her as she fell back into the soft chair. Watching Eden perform so much magic with ease -- was slightly mesmerizing, she had to admit. "That's... amazing. I've never seen magic like that before," she admitted, her head tilted to the side. "A genie... I wonder -- if that's some sort of Esper..."

[gumdroppizza]

Eden floated down with ease toward Terra, putting her hands underneath her chin in observation. She gave a pleasant smile to her new master, “You learn something new everyday they say,” she gave a shrug, “I guess you could say I’m like one. But not really, have more fantastic magic than the average caster. Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space, I'm bounded to the bottle. Comes with the package when you have to grant wishes.”

[esperkin]

"Well..." Truthfully, it still didn't make much sense to her. But if this woman, this genie, was someone trapped inside Paixao -- then they were the same. And that meant, if they worked together... they would be stronger. "If... " she started, hesitating a little, but certainly trying to overcome it -- "you need a place to stay... you're welcome to come home with me. There are some children that live there also -- if that's all right." I mean -- that lamp didn't look too roomy.

[gumdroppizza]

Eden blinked in surprise, oh, she was offering a room for her? No one has ever… Eden eyes glittered for a moment, “You mean… You wouldn’t mind if I lived with you?” She spoke softly as she looked down, “No one has ever offered that for me before, such sweet hospitality…”

Then before Eden could tear up from happiness, she gave her soft smile and hugged Terra gently, “Oh sweetheart, thank you. You’re so wonderfully kind to offer that, I wouldn’t mind coming live with you at all.”
