Haha I'm not sure if I like this one.
Listener finds a magic jar that supposedly contains a Djinn. And it does! Too bad that Djinn is EVIL! like an affable funny sort of evil, and also a bitttt of a ditz, but still EVIL. I went on a few dates with a PHD student that was doing their thesis on medieval Arabian folklore, I took them to see the live action Aladdin (because I'm a turd) and they explained to me that Djinn are sort of like the middle eastern versions of fae and they don't usually grant wishes in the stories they show up in. Its just that cultural osmosis has made Aladdin's genie the most prominent one by far in western culture.
IDK I just think that's interesting.
Should I start importing these to scriptbin? I've been thinking about that but frankly I don't really have the time.
Maybe I'll consider it tho if you swing by my KoFI! (https://ko-fi.com/timeraft)
Also also I'm working on a weird multipart project. It's basically a series of scripts following different characters that tell an interconnected story about a wanderer (the listener character)trying to find their lost friend and break a curse. DM me if you'd like to hear more, its still in the planning stages.

Listener has a jar that contains a Djinn. IDK where they got it. Theyāre sitting in their apartment and decide to break it.
Jar Breaks
Woosh sounds
Djinn is free, Theyāre super stoked to be loose
I-I-I can't believe it! Light! Sound! Warmth!
I-Iām free! Iām loose! This is incredible!
YES YES YES!!!!
You! Strange peasant in a nice sweater!
Did you do this?
You-you broke the jar!
Evil laughter
Ohhhhhh you shouldnāt have done that!!
Tell me why did you free me?
Listener explains that they wanted three wishes
Three what?
Wishes? Youāre kidding! Where did you get that idea?
They explain the whole Aladdin thing
Ohhh I see Iāve heard that story! It's a nice one.
I think youāve missed some context from it though. You see, the whole being forced to do someone's bidding thing was special to that story. They were bound to the lamp and would be set loose again after doing three favors. That's not the situation here. I was just locked in that jar because Iām sorta mayyybe a littttttttle bit very very evil.
Yeah so Iām gonna be straight with you, breaking that jar was probably not your best choice. I don't blame you though, Iām guessing you don't deal with djinn very much.
But hey, you can't dwell on past mistakes!
Anyways I'm free and can do whatever I want, like literally anything. I mean whoās gonna stop me right? Iām a mystical being and all.
Iām sure as heck not going to grant you any wishes, that's a fact. Unless you were going to wish for me to terrorize the descendants of the sorceress that trapped me here, because thatās what Iām gonna do once Iām done with you.
Buttttt the whole three wishes thing? That gives me an idea!
How about you grant me three wishes?
Yeah that sounds nice doesn't it?
No?
Hmmmm wellllll I could always turn you into a pig instead.
Not your idea of a fun time? Well then just three little requests and weāre good! Itāll be fun!
Now that jar was very very small and very very cold. It was basically an icebox. Part of the punishment and all. I've basically been freezing my ass off for twelve hundred years.
So for my first wish youāre going to make me comfortable! Give me your sweater! It looks really cozy and I want it! Gimme gimme gimme.
Not quite my sizeā¦..
Magic noises
Perfect. Just a little too big
Mmmmm this is so soft and warm.
Now go grab me a blanket. Iām gonna get cozy on this futon.
Yessss blanket.
Cozy sounds
Alright servant for my second wish you must make me some coffee!
Iāve been craving it for like twelve hundred years. Like I NEEEEED some coffee right now. You donāt even know.
Listener tries to be defiant
What was that you said? It sounded a lot like āPlease turn me into a pigā
Well if you insist!
Magic sounds start and then suddenly stop
Oh that's not what you said? Well then you must have said āOh Djinn youāre so powerful, wise, and good looking. Please let my unworthy ass provide you with some coffee.ā
Now run along. And make yourself some so you can sit here and listen to me talk trash about the princess that trapped me in the jar.
Oh and I like mine with a little milk!
They dig out their coffee machine and cook some up.
Hmmm coffee from a machine? What sorcery is this?
And it's so good! So strong and smooth! It's not laced with sawdust or anything!
Oh oh oh man. This is LITERALLY the greatest day of my LIFE.
Under breath Iām totally gonna keep you now.
What? Oh nothingā¦..
Sit down! Sit down! Iām still super cold. Iām gonna lean on you.
They lean on listener
There we go. Gimme your body heat slave.
Cozy noises
Right yeah so youāre probably wondering how I wound up in a jar right?
So I was just your typical run of the mill evil mage. Doing evil mage stuff. Curses and potions and alchemy and such.
And I cooked up a spell to turn myself into a Djinn.
It worked too! Like obviously, but still! I was like on my way to taking over the entire sultanate!
And then there's this goody two shoes princess, who was technically a mage herself.
She was an amateur really, a glorified hobbyist. So I take over, start ruling with an iron fist all that kind of stuff, and she makes this magic jar right?
And you gotta understand I was maybe an itsy bit on a power trip.
She was all āif youāre so powerful why can't you fit inside of this enchanted jar?ā
And I was all āFoolish mortal I can do as I wish!ā And shrank myself into the jar. And she slammed the lid on it.
Soooo now Iām here.
Listener laughs
Don't laugh!
Cut it outttttttt
I swear if you don't stop laughing at me Iām gonna melt you.
That's more like it.
Hmph
What were you going to wish for anyways? When you broke the jar I mean
A Girlfriend/Boyfriend? (whichever one makes sense for speaker)
No way!? Really? Pffft! All that power and that's what you were gonna ask me for? Not power or riches, just somebody to smooch? Lame!
I mean I couldn't even do that if I wanted to. I cant just like mind control people or magic somebody up for you.
Althoughā¦. You are pretty cute, maybe Iā¦ā¦.
They're considering dating the listener
What? Oh nothing, just daydreaming.
Speaking of wishes, you still owe me one! One final request, then you go your merry way.
No, I won't go away, I like this place. I think Imma take it from you. I like my new home. Maybe if you ask nicely you can stay here.
Anyhoo
I wish for
Sinister
Unlimited wishes!
Evil Laugh
What are you going to do? Say no? Ha!
Youāre mine now!
Youāre going to be my servant for a very very long time.
And to celebrate your new position. Howās about I put you in a jar of your own?
Magic sounds
Woosh sounds
They pick up the listener who's now shrunk to fit in a jar
Ah ah ah, no running. Wouldn't want you to get lost now would we?
Look at you! Cute little servant. Youāre like a sad little mouse.
They magic up a clay jar and plop them in it
You like your little jar? I put a little cot in there for you to sleep on. Maybe later Iāll give you something to entertain yourself with.
You really really shouldn't have set me free. Frankly somebody needed to teach you a lesson. I mean it probably shouldn't be me, but hey details details.
Now whenever I need you to do some annoying menial task. Iāll let you out. Every day forever and ever!
They stand up and slap their hands together and tie the jar to their belt
Whelp I guess I better stop goofing around and get back to the task at hand.
Thanks for the coffee! Iām gonna go terrorize the city a bit.
Jar closes
Woosh sounds
Evil laughter
