	ask them about their hobbies and interests and see if they open up! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-24 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	do they have hobbies or do they just grant wishes (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	teratology 2022-05-24 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	maybe they had hobbies before they were trapped in a lamp and they've been hoping someone would ask them about it but people only summon them to wish for things 😞 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	teratology 2022-05-25 01:34 am UTC (link)

	oh, then!! i think that'd be okay! throw it on the ground really hard and bust it open! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-25 06:34 am UTC (link)
	i'm trying but it won't open do you have a really big rock (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	teratology 2022-05-25 06:37 am UTC (link)
	now that i'm trying to think of a really big rock, i cannot remember a single one i've seen in my life. what if we dropped it from the top of the lighthouse? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-25 06:38 am UTC (link)
	do you want it to bounce right into the sea? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	teratology 2022-05-25 06:39 am UTC (link)
	no! we throw it the other way, at the grass part. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think it's a better bet to expect a genie to show up on a boat one day. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-25 06:28 am UTC (link)
	unless it's trapped in this lamp (Reply to this) (Parent)

	you found a genie lamp?? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-25 06:28 am UTC (link)
	sure looks like! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	calibur 2022-05-25 06:41 am UTC (link)
	maybe it can't come out until its last master has made all three wishes. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pellinore 2022-05-25 06:24 am UTC (link)
	pretend to leave the room and see if anything happens when you're "not there"? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-25 06:28 am UTC (link)
	oooh... sneakery (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pellinore 2022-05-25 06:34 am UTC (link)
	genies are kinda sneaky if the movies i've seen are accurate so maybe you just need to do some sneakery yourself? get on their level. idk makes sense to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eatme 2022-05-25 06:38 am UTC (link)
	well it probably knows i'm up to something now. i've been making a terrible racket (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pellinore 2022-05-25 06:51 am UTC (link)
	oh, that's too bad. you could always stick it in a cupboard and try again later. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hears 2022-05-25 11:19 am UTC (link)
	I'd say put it somewhere comfortable and leave it alone, see if it comes out on its own. Maybe clean the lamp really well too. (Reply to this)

	closedcasket 2022-05-25 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Ask yourself: if you were a genie stuck in a lamp, what would entice you to come out? I think a gentle rubbing, with an old cloth, might do the trick for me. (Reply to this)
