Jasmine couldn't help the smile, complete with new dimples, that came to her as she stepped back into the material world. Only now that she was no longer panicking did she realize her room was far different from what it had been from Jon. *Spirits! I don't think I'm even in the same house!* she realized. The room was larger than it had been, and the decor massively changed. Her bed was now a four poster complete with a royal blue canopy, and it was covered in pillows and stuffed animals. Her desk was nicer, and the laptop sitting on it decidedly newer than the one she'd had in the old world. On the far wall there was a vanity that certainly hadn't been there before, and next to it the entrance to a closet she'd need to explore later. Her old tube tv had transformed into a wall mounted plasma television, and she was excited to see a new PS5 hooked up to it. Her handful of posters had disappeared and there were instead several framed paintings done in an impressionist esque style hanging around the room, and she couldn't deny they were quite beautiful. Her bookshelf had mostly the same books, but there were also quite a few that seemed to be in a language other than English; hopefully that was something that would come to her alongside her memories of this world. "Speaking of, I wish for the memories of my new life to come to me, and for Asteria's Heart to hide itself in my vessel." The 'Wishing Stone' shifted into smoke and flowed through the spout of her lamp until it fully disappeared. It was an odd but not unpleasant feeling to have the heart merge into her vessel, and she decided she'd just have to think of her lamp as doubly precious. True to her word, Asteria didn't bombard her with memories, but a few did begin to trickle in. Namely, she remembered Karyn was indeed coming over for a sleepover in the next half-hour, and she needed to not be all blue when her human friend arrived. With a snap of her fingers, she worked a simple glamour that turned her skin to the same olive tone of her mother, and rounded her ears. Now she looked like a human girl, albeit an incredibly cute one. Looking at herself in the mirror, she decided she also might want to change into something that didn't scream Genie. Opening her new closet for the first time, she was surprised to discover it was a walk-in. She decided to stick with something casual since they'd be changing into pajamas before long anyways, and just grabbed a floral print button up blouse, an a-line skirt in yellow. It was a sunny outfit to fit her newly sunny disposition. Placing her scarlet silk garments in the hamper, she was soon standing in her pink bra and panties. She was giddy as she purposefully changed into a skirt for the first time, smiling like an idiot at herself in the mirror. She was so excited that Karyn was coming for a sleepover, something she could now recall was fairly common in this world. It had been the sort of activity the two best friends hadn't been able to indulge in in the old world due to the perception of a boy and girl sleeping over together. (Ironic considering all Djinn were by there nature attracted to women, so it wasn't like funny business was totally out of the question just because they were both girls.) Finally, she heard the doorbell ring and dashed to answer it, instinctively knowing how to navigate the new house, and her feet barely touching the ground.

The Dryad and the Djinn (15)


Here's a knock-on effect for you: imagine how Athena DeVries, the super occult goth and occasionally an actual witch, is going to react when she finds out her best friend's entire family is actually genies in disguise...

This is incredible! I'm loving it so far, which of course, guarantees you will run out of juice now and never add another episode to it LOL, I'm tempted to branch off of this but have Jon be descended from the Tuatha De Danaan instead of Djinni .

While Karyn is an expected pairing, perhaps switching Karyn's and Sarah's dislike for each other to stem from a competition over an attraction to Jasmine would open up more plot possibilities. Particularly if Sarah was also trying to hide this from her circle to maintain her position at school and her parents who wouldn't approve for whatever reasons you decided to come up with.

Go for it Sage, I tried to make the initial branch of this a good jumping off point to turn Jon into a variety of magical creatures. Going the multi-route with Karyn and Sarah could definitely be neat, but at this point I'm leaning towards Yuki and Jasmine getting together. That said, Jasmine being the oblivious Archie to Karyn and Sarah's Betty and Veronica is a fun idea.

What I'm wondering is, do other magical creatures exist in this setting? And if so, are any of them among the other members of the cast? I think it'd be interesting going off what Asteria said a few chapters ago, about Jon potentially being turned into a fairy or succubus.

Any opinions on a pairing for Jasmine in this branch? I feel like Karyn is the obvious answer, and I'm not opposed to going in that direction, but I'm also open to other options. Jasmine's new nature could easily have a knock on effect of changing her relationships with various people.

Hmm, I am seriously considering having Athena be an actual witch in this branch since we've established magic being a thing beyond the stone already. I'm unsure if she'll be Zoe's best friend in this reality; that is to say, I don't know if being a Djinn, having a second mother and big sister, not having Roger in her life, etc. would alter Zoe enough that she's not a goth in the first place. I'm also playing with the idea of at least one Lakeview student also secretly being a magical creature of some kind, although not a djinn, lots to think about

Hmm. Have you thought about a minority character? Melony Tyne, Janelle Carter... Could always have your dimension gender bend an existing FB male character or pull from a branch that introduced others. You might get more replies on Discord for questions like these, too.
