Powering up your armor just in case, you pick up the the low brown bowl off the shelf. It’s quite heavy, even though it doesn’t have a lid. When you can see inside, all you see is one green eye peering up at you from the surrounding brown hairy darkness.
You gasp and exclaim, “What?”
A flat husky voice comes from somewhere in the hair.
“I’m the genie of the light brown bowl. And it isn’t polite to just say, ‘What?’ You might at least have said ‘Who?’”
“Wh-why?” you gasp again, bewildered and not a little frightened.
“Why am I in here? Because I’m ugly. If I were pretty, I’d get to be in a bottle. You’ve heard of the genie in the bottle? Well, that’s not me. I just get a dreary bowl.”
“Do you like it in there?” you ask, accepting that there is probably no immediate danger here.
“I’d like it better if that damnable imp hadn’t stolen my lid. It gets kind of cold sometimes.”
“Well, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Find me a lid.”
You look around and find another low bowl, remove its lid, and try it on the genie’s bowl. It fits fine, and you hear a muffled “Thanks” from inside.
Feeling good about your deed, you return to exploring the Bottle Room.
