Chapter: Story 10: I Dream of Verisimilitude
Well, I stand corrected. SageM suggested yesterday that Jeanie’s next strategy should be to bring Natalie into play, but I figured it was too good of an idea for Jeanie to come up with. Clearly I was wrong, in alllll the right ways. Hot DAMN.
Hmmm… Natalie pinup?
Full rez pinups from comics are relegated to Patreon rewards these days. Though I’m not sure which tier of patron you need to be to access them. You’d have to ask CD.
I’ll have to ask the Patreon monster for answer that one… Oh, wait. He’s eating cookies.
That’s an… oddly accepting reaction. Doesn’t he wonder about the fact that he was just talking to her on the phone?
The phone call was hours ago. It’s evening now.
Given that Jean has magically changed Rodge’s appearance, Rodge is probably not too freaked out about other magical, unexplained things happening around him now. First-hand experience tends to be a bit of an eye-opener.
Nice to see Natalie again. But, if I were Neil, I would give Jeanie an ultimatum to either stop doing this to me or I would throw her bottle away or put a plug in her bottle, then pour concrete on her bottle with her in it. This is definitely a violation of other people that she has no business doing and at the end of this arc there needs to be a consequence for Jeanie behavior for doing this. But, not right now. This is the second day and we coming up on the end of the time at the New York conference and the end of this arc.
I think is would be appropriate for Neil to blow his stack and threaten to blow Jeanie cover and tell everyone what really going on if Jeanie doesn’t reverse everything that she has done and do it right now. And before Jeanie can follow through with Neil demand, in walks Belle and Jeanie doesn’t know what to do.
Either that, or he’s just used to it now. Neil is far, far too passive a person sometimes.
Passive to the point of wimpiness. Jeanie has no respect for her Master, albeit rightfully so, and that’s dangerous.
Thinking once again about the title of this story, I’m thinking that the end of the conference may not be the end of the arc. What if Jeanie gets bottled up again, leaving Rodge and Neil transformed? Imagine them forced to deal with (pick one or more):
* Agent Anderson
* Their boss
* Belle
If Jeanie got bottled up and they could not unbottle her immediately and leaving Rodge in Jean form and Neil in Natalie form for awhile.
My choice would be Belle, definitely.
You would have two girls and one guy in a hotel room. Rodge would be interested in Natalie and chasing her. Belle would be interested in Rodge alias Jean and chasing him. Natalie would be trying to extricate herself from a really sticky situation that she doesn’t want to be in.
Better yet, leave Jean out of the bottle and have three girl and a guy in a hotel room. You would have Jeanie trying to prove that guys sleep around especially Rodge alias Jean. Then you would have Jeanie still thinking of Belle as her girlfriend as Jean. Everybody want something other than what everyone else wants.
Then Belle the only one of the four people that has absolutely no idea what going on.
Wow, I was right, Jean DID have to get a chart lol
[oops, wrong post]
Jean sucks. :-/
Actually, she doesn’t. Yet. (Rodge could only wish!)
Think she sucks as good as Berry?

@CD Rudd: Give her time. I suspect Berry has had plenty of time to practice. 😛
@CD Rudd: Only if she’s had lessons from my girlfriend.
@ CD Rudd: Doubtful. Jean strikes me as having been a selfish lover, and would probably expect the other party in an assignation to deliver all the ‘encouragement’.
That, and I expect her narcissism and desperate attempts to cling to her old life would stop her from doing something like that with a man.
@Rock: “desperate attempts to cling to her old life”
I don’t think you can call her efforts desperate. This whole scene demonstrates she’s perfectly willing to use her female advantages to get what she wants. But she wouldn’t dream of following through on the offers she’s made.
Fundamentally, Jean/Jeanie is horribly, blindly selfish. I don’t think she cares that she’s female in appearance.
But I agree one hundred ten percent that she would refuse to take the inherently submissive role that act implies. Not even to prove she’s right.
Actually, Jeanie doesn’t want to be a girl, but, if she has to be a girl, then she wants to be a beautiful girl with plenty of assets like C cup or DD cup breast women. She also not above trying to charm a man like a women will either. She just doesn’t want to follow through with it and go to bed with him.
@Larry: Given the choice, yeah, she’d probably like to be a guy again. But you know, having genie powers is more than kinda nice, and having girl assets ain’t all that bad. Besides, she can’t change it, might as well roll with it. So in practice, it’s a wash.
The main point is, Jeanie is self-centered and without morals.
@50srefugee: Jean isn’t exactly selfless, but without morals? As I’ve pointed out before, Jean doesn’t go after married women. He got into this whole mess looking for a gift for Belle. He got Neil a prom date. He tried to get Neil into surfing to get his friend into some shape other than egg-shaped. And one of Jeanie’s very first uses of her magic was to bring some breakfast to Neil at work.
As for never dreaming of having sex with a guy, that’s literally what Jeanie was doing at the end of I Dream of Green Eyes.
Having read all of sailorsun’s archive over the past few days, I’d just like to add that Berry and Bay are MUCH nicer people than Jean ever was. 🙂
Jeaniebottle can be fun at times, but sailorsun intrigues me. I’m really curious how things will turn out for the sailorsun cast, and I hope they’ll be happy. ^_^
I think we reach the heart-attack comic. Now if you will excuse me I need to take a very long cold shower.
Is it just me or is Natalie’s hair shorter than usual here?
Natalie’s hair length appears to be a bit inconsistent. Sometimes it’s almost waist-length, while other times it’s a few inches past her shoulders. Considering that Jeanie turns Neil into Natalie based on memory, and that she consistently forgets to remove her own hat when changing clothes, I’d say the reason for this is simply “Jeanie isn’t consistent”.
This is far from the story line at the moment, but here’s a thought: Jeanie can’t turn herself back into a man, but couldn’t she turn Belle into a man?
Tom, I’d venture that she probably could, but I can’t see that she’d want to. And I doubt that Belle would be enthusiastic about the switch, either. Particularly if it was involuntary.
@Kattgirl: I see two circumstances where turning Belle into a man might fit into the story. The most obvious is when Jean finally tries to convince Belle that she is Jean. Either Jean turns Belle into a man to prove that she’s really a genie and that changing sex is possible, or Belle does believe Jean and they start fighting. In either case, Jean wouldn’t stay mad at Belle and would change Belle back just like Jean has always done with Neil.
The other circumstance is if Belle asks.
I am with Kattgirl on this one Tom. It best to have one of the main character that in Jeanie Bottle never figure out what going on, like Dr. Bellow in I dream of Jeanie. Belle is basically a female Dr. Bellow and I think she works really good in that roll.
Like right now at about this point, it would good time to come walking into this mess and trying to figure out what going on, the same way that Dr. Bellow walk in on Major Nelson and Jeanie.
She walk is and see her boyfriend, but, he doesn’t recognize her.
Then she hears that everybody think that Jeanie his fiance, but, she recognizes Jeanie as his cozen .
Then she look over at Natalie who she has never seen before and Jean seem to be fairly familiar with her. Matter of fact too familiar with her.
Then you see the look on her face like, what going on here?
That’s actually a not-implausible scenario, Larry. We’ll have to see if CD takes it in that direction.
(And I still have a feeling that the Agent Anderson look-alike may show up again.)
@Larry: Dr. Bellows was a psychiatrist who kept witnessing genie’s magic but could never prove it to his general (there were two different commanding generals in the series.) Belle Lows is a psychology student who has never detected Jeanie’s magic.
The closest character in the original series to Belle in this one isn’t Dr. Bellows, it’s Captain Nelson’s fiancee who vanished without explanation very early on.
This is not to say I don’t want to see more of Belle. I think this series might have been better if Belle kept getting caught up in Jeanie’s magic something like the original Dr. Bellows. And I’ve suggested that it would really be nice for Belle to show up in this arc.
Well, Neil/Natalie looks lovely.
Sadly this won’t end in what Jean’s trying to get to happen.
Unless she’s just counting on the SIGHT of them being together.
“counting on the SIGHT of them being together.”
That might be enough; certainly “Jean” escorting her to his room, arm around her waist, ought to do it.
Neil then putting the plug in and shaking the bottle, hard, is between him and Jeanie. 🙂
Returning to Jean’s plan for Natalie, again assuming Jeanie’s thinking that far ahead, it could be as simple as bringing Natalie along to the function, going off for a bit to make sure the Hussies three are watching, and letting Rodge be Rodge. Jeanie could envision not only proving her point, but getting her three ex-lovers to sympathize with her. “Can’t you see what’s going on?!”
But if that’s how it goes, Jeanie could start feeling real jealousy, both against Rodge cheating on her, and Neil cheating on her. Especially if Jeanie matches drinks with Liza.
Tina, not Liza. I’m sure Liza is a responsible drinker.
No, Jeanie not thinking that far ahead. You can see in window two and those other two round window inserts at the bottom that is was a snap decision on Jeanie part. She see Neil or Natalie as the solution to her problem that she created in her mind. Now everything will blow up in the real world, because of what Jeanie did.
Thought you’d like to see this!!

There is a flaw with this plan
And it involves taking of his clothes
I like the subtle reference to Red of the Melvin Chronicles that Neil makes. “Scarlet Avenger Class”
