Gardening, Jeannie style (OTA)

[dream_jeannie]

Jeannie had gone out to the park to enjoy the weather. She decided to wear her own clothes as she often did now, though she liked the modern magazine clothes quite a lot. She just felt more at home in her own things. It reminded her that she'd have to redecorate her suite soon

Even though she had several people like Buffy and Yuri help her out with the hygene thing, Aphrodite was still struggling with it. In fact, she had a smudge of dirt on her cheek from falling into the mud and she was heading back to her room at the hotel when she noticed an ugly little man wearing the worse outfit known to man. She made a face. If she had her powers she'd give the man a make-over. She huffed and then - poof - the man was wearing an Gucci suit.

Aphrodite's eyes lit up as she pointed to herself. She disappeared in a blink and re-appeared in a cute new outfit. Her hair looked great, her skin looked great, and on top of that - she smelled great. The goddess of Love and Beauty was back. She clapped her hands together and make a gleeful sound.

That was when her eyes caught glimpse of the fountain. She made another face. "Ew." She blew the fountain a kiss and turned the fountain into something better.

"I find a lot of genies are just too eager to please. Always 'yes master' and 'certainly master'" Aphrodite rolled her eyes, "Sometimes masters need to be told no. Especially when they ask for something ridiculously hideous. Like one time, I saw a guy wish for this palace, but it was so tacky it made me want to barf."

The Aphrodite shrugged, "Not as many followers as I do back home, but I'm getting there." She winked at Jeannie, "Still get some awesome tributes though."

[dream_jeannie]

"There was a woman here who told me that I didn't need a man to get by. My master here didn't even want me to call him that, so it was simple enough to leave him and get a room of my own. Now I do not have a master at all and I'm enjoying it very much." She grinned widely.

"I do not have any followers or tributes. What are those like?" Tributes sounded good.

[heartaphrodite]

"Tributes are fab. Gold, vases, yummy food. Except for fish." Aphrodite scrunched her nose, "Villagers always think fish is a great offering. But really, it's totally not. They smell and are all slimy." She shook her hands in an 'icky' gesture. "But you can never have enough followers. I'm one of the most popular goddess in Greece." Yes, she was proud.

[dream_jeannie]

"I don't think I'd like fish either. I'm not so sure about vases--my own bottle is very nice." She wrinkled up her nose. "If anyone ever put water in it..."

They would face severe genie-wrath. The whole interior would be ruined.

"I find I like a lot of the food here. I just need to be careful." She patted her flat stomach delicately. "I could end up like one of my uncles if I don't watch myself. I do not want to be round."

None of her new clothes would fit and that would be a shame.

"Perhaps you could cook the fish and feed your followers. You'd get known as benevolent and I understand that some people consider fish helpful in creating children." The goddess of love couldn't object to that.

[heartaphrodite]

Aphrodite made a face. "You mean cook?" Ew.

[dream_jeannie]

"Oh, you need not cook it. The people who eat it should. Just tell them the benefits they'll have of eating fish. They don't need to give it to you."

She nodded.

"If they eat it themselves then they'll be worshiping you on their own, in a way. Then everyone is happy."

[heartaphrodite]

"You know, I like your style." Aphrodite smiled at her. "Your choice in clothing isn't that bad either." Still a little conservative for Aphrodite, but nice nonetheless. "Look,wish-babe, I have a two o'clock meeting with some poor sap who can't decide who he loves more, but I'll catch you around." She winked and then disappeared in a sparkle of golden light.

Jeannie giggled at the exit and knew that she and the goddess had great potential to destroy the village by accident be very good friends. She gave serious consideration to changing the fountain back to the way she had it originally and decided not to. This was a bit much, but still nice. She surveyed the work and went away with a skip in her steps.
