024 -- [Action]
[It is on the fourth day of the experiment that Shikamaru leaves his apartment. Free of those stupid thought bubbles, this should've been a good thing. But as he walked, it felt like he was being drawn to something. A weird breeze picked up. The sky literally became overcast. Ominous shit, man. 8|
It's only when he walked past a tree that he saw it. His old foe thought long gone when he defenestrated it months ago.]
Oh, not this again-

May 27 - June 1
[For these four days of the experiment, around the village there is atoaster ~magic lamp~ waiting to be found. In that tree! On that bench! On top of that fountain! How did it get in all these weird places? NO IDEA. But pick it up, and BAM. SMOKE PELLETS, and you suddenly have your very own genie (barefoot, with an outfit something like this). Careful what you wish for.]
Can we make this quick?
[[ ooc: So Shikamaru's fairy-taled into a genie again! You get three (3) wishes, and he will be 'granting' them as literally as possible.
As per the guidelines of the old fairy-tale event: nothing wished for is actually real. It will look like it is! But your character is either interacting with something imaginary or a mundane object: like thinking they picked up a magic lamp when it's really a toaster. Wish to be a sorcerer? While effected it's like COOL YOU HAVE MAGIC POWERS. Only not really, you were just pointing at things.
TL;DR: it's one giant game of pretend. Have fun. 8|b ]]

...You're really serious about this? I'm starting to bore myself now.

Fine, then. Let's see. I wish for your freedom. Untethered from the toaster and all.
action;
...what.
It may be telling how surprised he is, in that he doesn't grant the wish right away.]
Are you a robot?
action;
What, I'm doing you this big favor and you're asking me if I'm a robot? [If anything, shouldn't it prove his humanity? Sheesh.]
action;
You being so thoughtful is frightening. I'm not even bleeding to death to motivate you this time.
[His incredulous look is morphing into a smirk though.] You went and became a softy, didn't you?
action;
I have no idea what you're talking about. Now, you better hurry up before I change my mind.
action;
In a puff of smoke, he's back in his normal clothes, and the magic lamp is just a regular toaster again. With a pleased expression, he adjust his sleeves.]
There was a woman who said releasing a genie would have terrible consequences, but I think you lucked out.
action;
[Don't let it go to your head.]
action;
Don't worry. I won't ruin your rep.
action;
[Before he says 'you owe me one'.]
action;
Right. Dissecting a toaster sounds good.
action;
[And he'll be off before he can try to wrestle anymore engineering lessons out of him.]
action;
Instead he goes the other way, though not without calling to Tony's turned back.]
Don't forget your cookie.
[And thanks.]
