Jeanie’s alive! And also nekkid! 🙂

Jeanie’s alive! And also nekkid! 🙂
All 3 of them learn something new today and Jean is lava proof. Love the Easter Jean banner.
No, Shula, humans do NOT like Lava Baths, in the same way kittens don’t like Crocodile pits.
Okay this is kinda interesting:
Both the lava bath and what that means for a djinn.
And Shula realizing Jean was once human. I honestly wonder if her opinion of Jean will change after this.
Also – First!
Edit: Damn, second 🙁
This is why you shouldn’t comment “first!”. 🙂
That and it’s so 1997.
For a djinn? I’m betting a lava bath means nothing more than a good hot relaxing soak. Like a hot tub or a hot spring for humans. Which is why Alya was wondering why Jean would be so worked up about something so mundane.
I speculated this exact thing last page…heh.
Well, she still shouldn’t be swimming (standing?) in the pool of lava. It’s about 3x the density of a human, and is very, very, *very* viscous compared to liquids we’re used to. But… “Genie-Magic!” 😉
I was about to mention that humans can’t sink in lava.
Also….
If you drop your keys in a river of molten lava, man, they’re gone.
Maybe genies have the density of, say, osmium. (Which is denser than lead, gold or tungsten.)
This could be very “thin” lava, made from lighter rock, and possibly infused with magic from the proximity to such a major magical nexus as Haji’s Palace.
I’m betting the explanation will be something along the lines of: “Taadaa! Magic!”
If that real lava and she is a human she should be no more
It is a good thing that they didn’t have a human with them, because they may have pushed them in to the lava thinking they were doing something nice for them. That would be a bad thing to find out about your friend, that they don’t survive a lava bath.
That up there is a wicked bunny. Don’t know what her plan is, but she can keep her dang eggs.
I wouldn’t say “wicked”. More like “tricksy”. 🙂
Hmmm…maybeeee…..
Nah. Wicked. And not in the nice way.
Evil bunny… I had a couple as pets. They were accomplished thieves. Raided the refrigerator for veggies, stole socks from the sock drawer and would jump on you at 5 AM to get their breakfast pellets.
My cats do exactly those things, except they take meat from the fridge instead of veggies.
Everyone knows cats are predators.
We expect bunnies to be…cuter?
Hey, cats are perfectly cute. They can do that and be predators. Sometimes at the same time.
It’s a good deal for them— being cute means that the bigger predators (us) want to protect them instead of hunting them, and we tolerate them stealing our food and other antics.
@ijuinkin: Tell that to minks and ermines (members of the ferret family).
They sound like my dad’s beagles.
However the pellets bunnies leave behind aren’t chocolate.
Meanwhile, Jeanie is free of the ugly dress.
I wonder what a lava bath feels like to a genie?
It probably depends on whether or not you’ve added Lava soap. 😉
Ooh, gritty.
Now, now; don’t make pumices you can’t keep. 🙂
Granite, that would be unclean.
Do not take the pumice for granite!
Too slate! The schist has hit the fan…
And now I must drown my sorrows in a couple of quartz of beer.
What will knowing that she is invulnerable to ordinary physical hazards do to Jeanie’s already limited self control?
Alya and Shula have the high ground.
“Don’t try it, Jeanie!”
Well, they could but it would be the last bath they’ll ever have, Alya!
No Alya. We humans tend to react really badly to molten temperatures.
Also, is it customary for Genies to just jump into lava, burn off their clothes, and then magic up some new ones? Or did these two just decide it’d be easier to push Jeanie in rather than get her to strip?
Being pushed in by an erstwhile friend?
At least now Jeannie and Natalie have something in common…
I don’t think Jeanie considers Shula a friend.
No, but Shula seems to think Jeanie is.
No. No, we do not.
Evidently Alya has never served a human master. Else she wouldn’t be quite so naive about human vulnerabilities.
She *is* also a brand new genie, just like Jeanie. That’s why they met at the palace during the Blue Djinn arc. So yeah, that sounds like a reasonable assumption.
Being “brand new”, if she wasn’t a converted mortal, means that she is effectively a child mentally, which explains her naïveté.
Yeah I think that’s what CD is going for.
Now I wonder how many humans have been treated with a lava bath by Alya
Fun fact: Humans can have themselves a lava bath exactly once.
But it is an experience they never forget for the rest of their lives.
Jeanie isn’t invulnerable. Djinn are beings of the astral plain of fire. Fire and lava are their natural elements, so the lava is like a warm, scented bath to them. But other injuries, being shot or stabbed, being poisoned, breaking a bone, etc. would do real damage. Also, we know that Jeanie has an allergy, and allergies are the result of a body’s immune system reacting negatively to some element in its environment.
A question: Why all the fuss about that dress if they knew it was going to be burned away in the lava? Or will it suddenly reappear on her when she steps out of her “bath”?
The dress was for the ceremony that they just finished, and most of the effort went into deciding on the exact design. Now that they have the pattern memorized, they can just poof up a new copy whenever they feel the need to.
Gee, I hope none of the things she was wearing were important.
Humans would float on lava.
And turn crispy. I don’t want to be crispy.
Assuming they were somehow fireproof, they would very slowly sink into the lava until about a third of their body mass was submerged. The viscosity of the lava would probably allow them to “stand” knee/thigh deep in the molten rock, though imagine they would have a tendency to tip onto their side.
Alya knows Jeanie was a human.
Does she also know Jean was a guy?
Also, picking up a cursed bottle seems to be a fairly common thing.
How have those others (probably non-genderswapped prior to the 1960s) reacted to their new lot?
She knows Jeanie used to be human because she was there when Lahab called her out on how things are different between humans and Genies. She doesn’t know that she used to also be a he.
That occurred on page 444. Jeanie and Lahab were alone when Lahab told her that she knew Jeanie had been male. Apparently, no one else except Kazom are aware of that fact. Which only goes to prove that most genies are oblivious.
After a couple hundred years, who cares any more?
When you have that much power, who needs brains?
Nekkid Jeanie > Bunny Jeanie…..and that’s tough for me to find something hotter than a hot bunny girl!
She’s hot in more ways than one.
Hotter in a temperature sense, but not sexier (imo). hahah
She’ll be picking pieces of cooled lava out of parts of her body she didn’t know she had.
I’m pretty sure that after prom night and a trip on the Atlantis, she knows.
At least now she doesn’t have to worry about the dress anymore.
yeah, I guess I was right about my “Hot bath?” Speculation last page, before this one came out.
So, what does the lava bath do?
Burns off ugly, binding clothing, exfoliates your skin, and leaves you feeling clean, refreshed, and toasty warm!
Got my Easter wish. The banner is awesome.
I think we need to start a “humans class” in the genie realm. XD
Happy Easter to everyone.
Hm. Wouldn’t that be a “master class”??
don’t forget the “mistress class” as well.
