on genie design
@Phorm Oh, incidentally that horrible, horrible acid Soreth mentioned the other day, helium hydride?
So if Teff is the teflon based, slick and non-reactive genie and that made her, a genie based on HeH would be...
..it would be her bubbly annoying helpful-but-destroys-you-accidentally cousin, wouldn't it? She wouldn't even TRY to twist the wish but something would go spectacularly weird anyway.
And over in the corner Teff is just facepalming so hard.

I apologize for failing to respond to this promptly!
But goodness yes. That is probably absolutely what would result. A happy go lucky being of such intense heat and reactivity that everything would catch fire, even the sand. She'd be granting wishes with unhindered enthusiasm, and they'd ALL go wrong despite her best intentions.
That's a really, really good concept. I like it a lot, and thank you for sharing it with me.
