Being a Genie is not a fun job. Job isn't even the right word for it, honestly. Because, for a job you would at least be getting paid to do a service. Not that Djinns would ever have need for money to begin with, mind you, but their line of work isn't a job. It's more like a forced service exchange; you grant the desires of your master's heart and in return they ask you for more stuff.
Character A doesnt recall the day she became a Genie, but she assumes it was some millennia ago. Or maybe more? Again, she isn't sure. But it's definitely been more than a decade since that fateful day. There isn't enough space inside her lamp to make the tally marks, so she just has to guess how long its been since she was summoned by that one greasy old king. Boy, what a chump--he used all ten of his wishes in one day, that greedy ball of lard! At least the emperor centuries before him took a day and half to exhaust all his wishes.
In any case, she'd become convinced that her lamp had been thrown to the depths of a bottomless ocean, or sealed beneath hardened magma from a volcanic eruption--never to be seen again or even used again. Such a fate might be enough to drive someone insane with fear and isolation, but she'd long since grown bored with being insane and...well, there was no reason for her to fear isolation. Not when all her masters were completely antisocial towards her anyway--not even bothering to ask about her wellbeing before using their wishes. The instant she explained what she was and the rules, all conversation went to "I want this, Genie! I want that Genie! Give me better clothes, Genie!" Better to enjoy her loneliness than spend a few minutes in the company of a greedy, filthy soul.
But apparently, her destiny wasn't to spend the rest of eternity in a jar, but to be found in the twenty-first century--a world that Character A is going to have a rough time readjusting to--by a luckless young woman who hasn't a living clue what to do with a hot, half-naked woman with powers over time and space.

I'm looking for literate role players for this one, and the setting is more of a fun slice of life thing! I'm open to playing either role! F/F only.
