2nd summon [audio start; switch to text]

[likesfootnotes]

[Sloshing noises familiar to any that have spoken with Blobimaeus can be heard as the djinni trudges back and forth in his room.]

Five days and I haven't dissolved into nothing. Can't say that I'm complaining about that.

[A sniffing noise.]

Ugh, but I can complain about the smell.

[Seeing as he can't quite shower as he is without going down

Didn't your mother ever tell you never leave a djinni with an open-ended question?

My mother didn't tell me anything. Probably why I turned out the way I did.

Then consider this your absentee mother's warning: Never leave a djinni with an open-ended question. 1

How exactly did you turn out then.

1 - Spirits summoned are bound to do the summoner's will to the word. There is a great deal of fun and freedom to be had in misinterpreting the words, thus this warning. I am feeling gracious enough to share the advice today.

[stonesnotsticks]

Did'ja figure out how t'use the shower?

[He seemed so excited by it... yeah, Billy didn't read the little blurb-- tl;dr and all that.

[likesfootnotes]

Now that I have a form capable of showering, I will. Generally I would manifest a different scent about me, but there is no accounting for the physical realm's smells clinging to me.

[Try showering as slime, Billy. Sadly, it does not work and you end up part of the sewer treatment system. Bartimaeus is quite pleased that he will be able to now.]

[shenghuanzhe]

[That is a lot of words there, Bartimaeus.]

Uhhh, I told you t'let us know if you needed a special diet not to dissolve or whatever, man.

[likesfootnotes]

[Thanks. He appropriately simplified it for most and used Englished. This djinni is feeling quite gracious in his new good mood.]

I require no diet whatsoever. The concern about dissolution relates to the fact my essence had been decaying rather rapidly prior to arrival.

Oh, I do love a good clam chowder.

[likesfootnotes]

Do you also fancy death by that same clam chowder? That was the situation I was in. For the record, it was not as enjoyable as a good bowl of soup. 1

1 - Though consuming anything of the physical plane can be quite disgusting. I would liken it to a good bowl of imps - tasty, if you catch my meaning.

[entirelybonkers]

You met an untimely death by clam chowder? How terribly unfortunate, I imagine that was an unpleasant way to go.

[imps what]

[likesfootnotes]

It was an unduly and disgracefully close call, though not quite death. I place full blame on my master's inability to keep his word.
