It’s said that only 40% of face-to-face communication is contained in the choice of words, and the remainder is carried by tone of voice and body language.
Everyone’s expecting they’ll uncork Jean and become her new master.
What if she’s not in the bottle?
Neil got no reply when he tried to talk to her.
Even if it’s only temporary, that’s an empty bottle.
And we all know what happens when you open an “unoccupied” genie bottle.
Right?
Only question is what those stoners used to watch on TV.
I don’t believe it works that way, otherwise any time a genie is out and about serving their master the totem would be considered empty. Also, a genie is linked to their totem, and I don’t think there can be two genies living in the same one.
Now, possession is 9/10th of the law, so if one of the stoners takes the bottle to try and make a new bong (which will fail), he would possess Jeanie until Neil gets it back. There was an episode of IDOJ where Maj. Heely actually stole the bottle and Jeannie performed magic for him until Maj. Nelson recovered it.
Fair point, but maybe Jeanie was *forcibly* summoned to Haji’s palace? If she was magically compelled to leave her totem, it *could* be considered technically fallow at the moment.
@ Robert: No, being summoned away, for whatever reason, shouldn’t sever the link between the genie and the totem. Without a totem a genie’s magic isn’t anchored, and they would wither away and die (something Blue used to extreme advantage).
We know, from the scene where Blue threatened Guano with the destruction of Aracelli’s bottle, that totems are VERY durable. Slipping from someone’s hand isn’t near enough to break one.
The way that Blue phrased it as being a new bit of mortal ingenuity implies that Genie totems can withstand at least a sledgehammer or battle axe without damage. They might also be resistant to ordinary levels of flame exposure (e.g. can shrug off being roasted in a blacksmith’s forge but not necessarily survive falling into molten lava).
I was expecting more 60s/70s sitcom references, not 90s stoner comedy references lol
I am curious what’s going to happen though. Obviously they find the bottle, but what happens after that? Are they going to foil an alien invasion? Banish the evil to Hoboken, NJ? Get Chinese Foooooood?
Dude party over before it began.
Where’s their car!?
I was thinking the same thing.
Well at least they’ll be sober when they find poor Jeanie’s bottle.
I guess their bottle didn’t go “bong” and just bounce on the floor.
that would be interesting if they used Jennie’s bottle as a bong and Jennie got totally stoned. LOL
At least it’s not Jennie’s bottle
Not yet, anyway
I see these two aren’t the greatest of conversationalists
I wouldn’t say that. Just look at the amazing range of emotion they can convey with just one word!

Maybe their conversation will seem brighter after a few hits.
Wolfpac is back new update has just begun.
Yes, thanks for giving folks the reminder! I had completely forgotten to mention that here.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time
Going into Neil’s room and taking his stuff without asking is totally uncool man.

Dude!
Nice banner. Oh yeh, it is time to go back to school.
Dude!
Dude.
If Jeanie pops in with the conversation be “Dudette!!!”
something tells me they’re gonna lose some roommates in the next few comics
They can visit them at the Harem Club.
