"Well I wouldn't be if you had just told me that genies couldn't just end the world at any moment, then I wouldn't be shaking. I really, really should just bury your lamp and leave you to sit alone for the rest of time. Just, please, answer my questions."
-
She sits there for 'a minute' glaring at Jinn the whole time. "There, is that good?"
-
"Ah, a world is a world. What's so bad about this one for a dictator?"
-
"Well? I'm calm now. Please, continue, oh great and powerful and possibly under 70 IQ genie." She's visibly shaking.
-
"Oh, stop. You aren't scary in the slightness now that I know how stupid you are. And you still aren't answering my questions."
-
"You did not say that. Wait. If you can't end the world, then why the [expletive] did you say no to my question of guarantee? And this doesn't even solve the issue! Some insane dude could still conquer the world! And even if you can't kill everyone on earth, you can certainly kill a whole lot, which might be just as bad!"
-
Grace looks of you with a expression of pure anger. Her fists are clenched, and here face is red. She inhales, exhales, and then punches you in the face. "Are you telling me. That I nearly had a panic attack, yelled till my throat was sore, and got slapped because of an argument that YOU COULD OF ENDED AT ANY TIME?!? THAT'S ALL YOU HAD TO SAY! And don't say 'oh you were yelling you wouldn't listen to me' BECAUSE I WAS. YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST, MOST-" she stops, breaths again, and then punches you again. "And even worse? This is the second time this has happened."
-
"That's the problem. We don't have time. If we leave this unresolved, how do you expect me to go to sleep tonight? Knowing I could be gone by tommorow? Knowing every moment that went by, the chance that everyone disappears increases and that it's my fault if it does?" "Sorry, Cadence, but this is important."
-
She scowls and glares at the genie. "Fine. I am calm now. Give me an alternative or an explaination, like I've asked for at least five times, instead of just saying no like some jaded mother to her toddler."
-
"NO. THIS IS NOT A CALM SITUATION. I COULE LITERALLY DIE ANY SECOND NOW. EVERYONE COULD DIE AT ANY MOMENT."
-
The noises coming from the other end of the hallway is now loud enough for everyone to distinguish the growling and snarling, instead of just Mallory.
-
I follow as well.
-
"You think I want to be the lynchpin? No! But I can't just be a bystander who just let the world be at constant risk of just ENDING! I AND WANT TO TRY DIFFERENT OPTIONS BUT YOU REFUSE TO TRY AND HELP! IF YOU WANT ME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE SO BAD, JUST GIVE ME AN ALTERNATIVE LIKE I'VE ASKED FOR MULTIPLE TIMES!"
-
"Then. [Expletive]. Off." "Now. Either give me an alternative to the magic cap that does give an guaratee or I'm doing it."
-
"Can you one hundred percent guarantee that the world won't explode or massive amounts of people won't die because of one person getting too much power?"
-
"You you don't GET IT. There's so many people and instead of being hidden in some middle eastern desert, they're spread everywhere and even if it was in some middle eastern desert someone would look for it and succeed because everything is easier now than back then!"
-
Grace stares forward in shock for a moment, before sitting down on the sidewalk and breaking down into tears. "Why me? I'm sixteen why do I have to decide the fate of the world? I don't want to die, I don't want my mom to die I don't want ANYONE to die but I'm just stuck here with this obstructionist little [expletive] genie who won't explain anything and won't let me DO anything so I guess I'll just go lay down on the ground and wait for everything just to end."
-
"What? WHAT? DID YOU HONESTLY JUST COMPARE ME TO LITERALLY THE WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? If a genie lamp can end up in Liverpool, It could end up ANYWHERE! It could end up in the path of a psychopath! Or a drug lord or a terrorist sect OR ANYONE! And then those terrible people could DO ANYTHING THEY WANT! I NEED TO STOP THAT!"
-
"Then how do you know it'll be catastrophic? I KNOW leaving the world open to infinite power will be catastrophic! I'll take that chance!"
-
"Well then, instead of just trying to scare me, EXPLAIN what would happen! Try to convince me with facts and logic!"
-
"Well I don't want to do that! I just want to put a limit on you and everything else so the world doesn't self destruct!"
-
"IF I HAVE TO, YES! Oh, and wait, you say I can't change the laws of magic, but you are the one who ENDED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. Perhaps I should just redo that!"
-
"Well you're the one who could end the world and kill everyone instantly if someone just asked you too! Would you rather just die? Because that's the alternative!"
-
"Why not?!?"
-
"Okay, NOW politely ask them to join us!"
