Drake finally made it back to the relative safety of his dorm. His mind awhirl with the possibilities of his most fortunate find, making his mind fill with various ways to test the limitations of this Djinn. Finally the thought occurred to him: why not just ask to see what the limits actually were?
Drake rubbed the lamp, polishing it once more as he waited for that strange misty fog to pour out from the lamp. His wait was not long, as that same fog flowed forth; slowly coalescing into the form of the Djinn he had just seen not so long ago.
“Greetings my mortal master!” the Djinn bellowed out “What shall I do for you now?”
Drake recoiled a bit from the Djinn, still not used to the volume which he seemed to persistently speak at. “B-beldazarr was it?...I was wondering if I might ask you some questions. There are many things I don’t know about all this that I’d like to know.”
“It is not uncommon to want to know more, especially for a mortal such as yourself. You may proceed with your questions.” His voice boomed out.
Drake pondered for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts and former flurry of questions. “Well, for one…what kinds of limitations are there on these wishes?”
“As long as the wish is to alter the mind or body of one’s self, or another being…there are no limitations” The Djinn promptly responded.
“So…I can do anything, as long as it’s-“ Drake began to say, but stopped short as he heard the lock on the door being fiddled with. He had forgotten that his other roommate Mike would be back early today, and so had not even thought to check the time. “q-quick, hide yourself” he whispered to the Djinn
“Master, there is no need. Only you are capable of seeing me, so he shall not notice I am here. Besides, I could not go back in even if I want to, as I have not fulfilled any wish of yours yet… Though remember that the lamp can be seen and coveted” The Djinn Warned.
Drake’s eyes went wide and he quickly grabbed up the lamp, hiding it in his closet and returning out into the kitchen just as Mike got in through the door. Drake leaned himself against the kitchen cabinet acting as casual and natural as he could. “So, what are you doing back so early?” He asked, regretting it a moment later, having already known that Mike would get back early from his work.
Mike stood there a moment, almost dumbstruck by the question. His 6’4” bod and his moderately broad muscled shoulders filled up the door frame nicely, even as a lock of his straight sandy brown hair dropped down in front of his face, making him sweep it to the side. Mike would never admit it, but Drake knew that his style was inspired by tom cruise, with that side-swept parted short hair. He was quite the eye-candy for Drake to look at, with that beautiful build and nice muscle tone, but he made sure not to look over him too long.
“Ummm, what do you think? I already told you yesterday that I would get off work today early” Mike looked him over with incredulous eyes, giving him a suspecting look “apparently there’s some reason I should not be back so early, huh? Got some gay porno going in your room again? Well, here’s a novel idea: why not use that computer of yours to do something useful? Like, I dunno…find a job?” He smirked and plopped onto the couch in front of the tv. “and since you’ve obviously not done anything else, how about you figure out what’s for dinner for once.”
Drake stood there fuming, taking the comments as best he could without blowing up at him. ‘fine, I’ll figure something out.”. He was frustrated at those comments. He HAD been looking for a new job, and had basically been the maid there for the last three weeks, but Mike never cared about that. It was the drawback of Mike, besides being straight…he was also a cocky self-centered prick. Drake moved back into his room for a moment, and saw the Djinn floating about his room, almost “bored” looking when a thought flashed through his mind, and a grin spread across his face.
