::The landlord walks in and waits for Sera, scratching his underarms delicately.::

::Sera walks in after the landlord, takes a look around the apartment, then turns back to him::

"Thank you."

(Now get out, please.)

"You will thank me."

::The landlord grins and heads back to his office.::

::Sera grimaces as the landlord leaves, then looks over the apartment. Finding it suitable enough, she lays on the couch, daydreaming about random things.::

(Mmm, pizza rolls sound really good right now.)

::Dozes off after awhile::

::The genie appears in front of the couch, his back to it, and spins around wearing a huge grin.::

"Master!"

::Sera wakes with a start, sits up, and looks at the genie, puzzled. She takes in his bright garb and frowns::

(Eh? Wtf?...Wait a minute...)

::Raises an eyebrow::

"Did you just call me master?"

::The genie nods sincerely and bows low, his head pointing at the ground.::

"I did, Master."

"Right."

(Who the hell is he?)

"Sorry, but who the hell are you?"

"Your loyal servant."

::The genie cocks his head upwards and grins at Sera.::

"A genie."

::He raises himself slowly.::

::Sera stares at the genie for a second::

(What the hell is a genie doing in my apartment then?)

::Sera looks down at the floor, biting her lip. Then she looks back up at him::

"Three wishes and all that jazz, eh?"

::The genie beams again.::

"I see my Master is intelligent. I hope you can choose your wishes wisely."

(What do I bloody wish for then?)

::Bites her lip once again, her hair falling down from behind her ears and thinks about what she wants to wish for. After about a minute, she looks back up at the genie::

"Um, could you perhaps get me a friend, er..."

::Blushes a bit. Poor Canadian, never had a real friend, was too busy building igloos, ice fishing, and wearing hats with ear flaps to have time for them::

"Please...?"

"Express it in the form of a wish and we'll see what I can do for you!"

::Licks her lips and cracks her knuckles::

"Okay, um, Mr. Genie, I wish for a friend."

(...)

"Certainly."

::The genie presses his hands together and bows his head. With a flash, the landlord appears.::

"Somebody order a friend?"

::Leers at Sera.::

"I'll be all the friend you can handle, sweetheart!"

(Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck. How did I know this was going to happen?)

"Again, no thanks. Be gone, perv; I'm not interested."

::Turns to the damned genie::

"That's not exactly what I was wishing for, as you have probably guessed. I asked for a friend, not a perverted freak."

::Gives a strained smile. Is also pissed off.::

"He wants to be friends! Give him a chance, will ya? Look at this face."

::The genie grabs onto the landlord and pulls the corners of his mouth up into a crooked smile.::

"Aww. How can you resist that little smile? Hmm? How?"

(Very easily, actually.)

::Sighs, and fingers her hair, thinking::

"Alright. I'll give him a chance as long as he doesn't touch me, sexually harasses me, or does anything even remotely sexual. Got it?"

(What the hell am I thinking?)

"If he does, then I will take no responsibility whatsoever for any injuries he obtains, like bruised testicles, for example."

(Oh boy.)

::Smiles grimly::

"You want to touch me!"

::The landlord grins and jumps at Sera, bowling her over, before proceeding to try to jam his tongue down her throat.::

::Sera shrieks, and knees the landlord in the crotch. Hard.::

::The landlord smirks in pleasure at Sera.::

"Oh god, you want me. Harder, baby!"

::Sera looks extremely revolted::

(I'm going to kill that fucking genie...)

::Punches the landlord in the face, and knees him in the crotch yet again. Then, grabbing ahold of his arm, Sera drags him towards the door to throw him out::

"Don't push me away now, hottie, we're just starting to connect!"

::The landlord slowly starts massaging his crotch, unshamedly staring at Sera's chest.::

(Okay, that's it. Out you go now.)

::Sera drags him over to the door and throws the Landlord out into the Hallway. Strong, innit she? She shouts out the door::

'And stay out!"

::Slams it::

(...)

::Opens the door a crack::

"I'll still pay the rent though, don't worry!"

::Slams it again, then whirls around to face the Genie::

"You."

::Resists the urge to jab him in the ribs::

::The genie raises a questioning eyebrow.::

"Yes, Master?"

::Sera looks very pissed for a moment, then lightens up and rubs her temples::

(Boy, that was fun, eh?)

"Can you go away for now and leave me be? I'll call you if I want to make a wish."

::Sighs::

"Please?"

::The genie grins.::

"Your wish is my command."

::He disappears.::

(Oi.)

::Sera rubs her eyes, then heads into her bedroom to take a shower. Once in the shower, she suds up, and thinks about what she can get for with her other two wishes::

(Hmmm, I've always wanted a lover...)

::Grinning to herself, she finishes up, and steps out of the shower. Heading into the bedroom, with only a towel wrapped around her fit body, she dresses in slightly baggy jeans and a black t-shirt::

(Hungry...)

::Sera goes into the kitchen and searches through all the cupboards, then tries the fridge. No such luck::

"Well, crap. Guess I'll have to find food somewhere."

::Sera grabs the keys to the apartment and steps out into the Hallway, locking the door behind her::

::Unlocks the door, steps inside, and plomps down on her couch.::

(Hmmm.)

::Sera bites her lip and thinks for a minute, absentmindly playing with a strand of her hair. She sighs, then stops biting her lip, having made up her mind.::

"Genie! Can you please come; I have a wish."

:: Everyone can hear this, Azura's voice has an urgency to it, she is deadly serious about what she is saying.::

(Something has happened. Josie was caught using magic in public by the police. They are going to be watching the apartment building. I would advise everyone to not use magic in and around the building until this is sorted out.)

:: Isn't it convienent you came back to your apartment Sera?::

::Very. Sera jumps when she hears Azura's thoughts, and glances around::

(Um, okay? I don't know a Josie, but I'll be more careful now, I suppose.)

::Picks at her nails and waits for the genie::

:: The Genie appears.::

"Yeeees?"

::Sera blinks.::

(That was fast.)

"Okay, let's try this again. Genie, I wish for a friend who isn't the Landlord. Anyone who isn't the Landlord. Surprise me."

::Looks down at her nails and scrunches her nose::

(Please...?)

"Your wish is my command."

:: The Genie clicks his fingers in an overly extravagent way and the Nerd appears.::

:: The Nerd appears. He looks from the Genie to Sera, who he stares it. Mouth open. Drooling.::

(Well, at least he's not a pervert. I hope.)

::Smiles at the nerd::

"Hi. I'm Sera."

(If only he'd stop staring at me. And ew, drooling.)

:: The Nerd wipes his mouth on his sleeve. He turns away from Sera, straightens his bow tie and his glasses.::

(Be cool. Be cool. Be cool.)

:: He spins back around and smiles.::

"Hi!"

:: Oh. He has one of those nasal voices.::

:: The Genie smiles broadly. Then disappears.::

::Sera winces for a second when she hears his voice, but shakes it off. She studies him and his vest and bow tie.::

(What a nerd.)

::Geez, Sera, you're so mean.::

"Um, so. What's your name?"

::Starts to feel uncomfortable, but gives a small smile at the nerd anyway.::
