Jean AKA Jeannie AKA Jeanie is a film, book, and magazine reviewer for a national magazine. Most of Jean’s work is done through email, which means he doesn't have to go into the office.
On a trip to find a gift for his girlfriend, Jean found an empty Genie Bottle. Upon picking up this bottle, Jean became the bottle’s new genie-powered occupant. Not only was Jean turned into a genie, but the bottle turned him into what he believed a genie of the bottle should look like. Which, due to his fascination with a classic 60s TV show, turned him into a busty blonde woman.
A former Genie Lord, Kazom is a 3000+ year old Genie who exists in the form of a witch familiar while still serving as a genie to a teenage boy in California.
I do have one issue here. That I am certain to be explained later. They had sex. Being a woman, myself, I know the risks of that. Can she have children with a normal? Because this could cause an issue.
Ah, but this was Human-Genie sex. And we already have it established that this can’t lead to pregnancy—at least without additional magical assistance. Can’t absolutely rule out that said assistance was given, but the default now has to be that no children will come of it.
That is a Mercedes Sprinter Van. Having to drive one for work, I can guarantee that Jeannie has not had a change of heart. They’ll make it about 1000 miles before something serious breaks down. If they’re lucky.
I presume that in addition to something significant breaking down in 1000 miles, the exact breakdown location will be in close to proximity to absolutely nothing that could help them repair the vehicle.
Oh no. Last thing anyone wants is to get stuck with the “temp van” for the inevitable months it takes for them to fix even the smallest issue. You drive it like your dad owns it.
I don’t suppose there’s any chance that they’ll go back to Rouyaa’s old apartment to try to collect anything and find Ms. Eden Rouyaa & possibly merge or and least share information. I expect she’ll be discovered, eventually. But I’m honestly eager for that to happen.
That van is a dead ringer for the one used by the Van-Life characters. I hope Jeanie didn’t snatch it from them (like she did back in Three Wishes) and leave them stranded at the NASA exhibit. On the plus side, it’ll be full of that Blue-G Mineral Drink.
Now that Rouyaa and Andy have their own separate bodies, Kazom will presumably just be able to *ask them*, instead of doing the whole “implant the memories in Jeanie’s body and hope she can recall the relevant info”.
What should have happened is that Jeanie messed up the brain allocation so that Andy was in the female body, etc.
The names Andi and Ray would still work.
A couple of other things to take into consideration…1: Van – Tags, Registration and proof of insurance, are they current and 2: do they have valid id (drivers licenses, etc)? These would come in very handy should anything happen on the road. 3: And something I just thought of….If the bodies are temporary, how long before they go poof?
Knowing Jeanie’s track record, the registration and their licenses are probably fake (i.e. she magicked up the cards for them, but the State of Florida’s computers have no record of them).
That type of van was probably fresh in Jeanie’s memory because of the couple that they had met yesterday. Also, in some states (I don’t know about Florida), an RV above a certain size requires a higher category of driver’s license.
Guess it’s time for them to put part of their past behind and start driving to their future path.
Are they going to be doing Pod casts too?
Panel three: genie butt. 😀
Maybe Jean blinked up a comb for Andy?

Briefly – no. It’s been established that genies don’t reproduce that way.

Plus somewhere a dealership is reporting a stolen van.

I think the key phrase there is “having to drive one for work”. Drive it like you own it and it might break less often. 😉

Once in a great while, Jeannie does something that makes me willing to forgive her many (MANY) faults.
Reminder: Neil in still in the floor and possibly braindead.
In Jeanie’s mind, at least, she is offering them complete freedom to live their remaining lifespan as they wish.
I don’t suppose there’s any chance that they’ll go back to Rouyaa’s old apartment to try to collect anything and find Ms. Eden Rouyaa & possibly merge or and least share information. I expect she’ll be discovered, eventually. But I’m honestly eager for that to happen.
Exactly what I was thinking.
And finally, Andy can quit worrying about not using the phrase, “I wish . . .”.
That van is a dead ringer for the one used by the Van-Life characters. I hope Jeanie didn’t snatch it from them (like she did back in Three Wishes) and leave them stranded at the NASA exhibit. On the plus side, it’ll be full of that Blue-G Mineral Drink.
I didn’t think of that. It would be so Jean if that is where she zapped it from.
I was thinking the same thing I guess we will find out on tusday
Generic generousness?
Wait, aren’t we forgetting something? Didn’t they needed some information from them?
Apparently.
Instead, they are literally put on a bus.
Now that Rouyaa and Andy have their own separate bodies, Kazom will presumably just be able to *ask them*, instead of doing the whole “implant the memories in Jeanie’s body and hope she can recall the relevant info”.
wonder when Jeanie gets done screwing all this up she will just drop back and run a do over

Jeanie, I do expect you to know what they looked like. You got a copy of Rouyaa’s memories, which would have given you everything you needed.
Good point. The new Rouyaa is cute, though.
and how could this not develop into a major disaster?
What should have happened is that Jeanie messed up the brain allocation so that Andy was in the female body, etc.
The names Andi and Ray would still work.
I’m sure you aren’t the only one who is thinking that. it was something I did considered, but didn’t add value to the story.
A couple of other things to take into consideration…1: Van – Tags, Registration and proof of insurance, are they current and 2: do they have valid id (drivers licenses, etc)? These would come in very handy should anything happen on the road. 3: And something I just thought of….If the bodies are temporary, how long before they go poof?
I think Rouyaa covered the poof aspect with the “insanely powerful” comment on the previous page.
Knowing Jeanie’s track record, the registration and their licenses are probably fake (i.e. she magicked up the cards for them, but the State of Florida’s computers have no record of them).
why couldn’t she spring for a nice RV, instead of an old bread. I mean money isn’t really an issue for her is it?
That type of van was probably fresh in Jeanie’s memory because of the couple that they had met yesterday. Also, in some states (I don’t know about Florida), an RV above a certain size requires a higher category of driver’s license.
@CD wait… Are we getting a Back To The Future storyline?
Why, do you think the van looks like a DeLorean?
That is thought-out. What about the people who’s van it was?
