“What an interesting offer! hmmm…” JV6736 holds the ticket in their hands, and closes their eyes. They begin to imagine the genie appearing before them. Suddenly the ticket begins to glow and the number 15 forms on the front of the ticket. In the blink of an eye, JV6736 was teleported in front of a genie. “Welcome to my realm, you're my fifteenth customer. As you probably know, I’m a wish granting genie, and I sense you have a wish for me.”
"I wish i could talk with tigers" The genie smiles and turns around to grab an orb floating by. “You must really like tigers. I bet they have some interesting things to say.” “I just find them sooooo cute and fluffy, like big kitties!” “They sure are, I bet hugging one would be amazing, most people wouldn’t be able to, but if you can talk to them, perhaps you can convince them to let you.” The genie goes up to JV6736 and pushes the orb into their head.
“There you go. When you wake up, you’ll be able to speak to any tiger you come across. I even threw in a bonus to make it easier for you to get access to some, but you’ll figure that out when you wake up.” With that the genie snapped her fingers and JV suddenly found herself at a zoo, and inside the tiger enclosure. She seemed to be holding a pad of paper and a pen close to her face, almost like she had been writing something.
Suddenly someone clears their throat almost like they were trying to get her attention. “Hey toots, I know you're busy staring into space, but I’m starving, you gonna take my order or what?” When she snapped back to reality there were three large tigers standing in front of her. The one who had just spoken, had grayish fur and a scar going across his eye, he was clearly much older than the other two. “Heyo, anyone there today? Come on lady, I want a nice juicy steak to eat.”
A younger tiger spoke from the right side of JV, he was half the size of the older one and probably only a few years old. “Hey pop, give her a break. You’re kinda large and she’s new and you can be a bit intimidating.” An adult tiger on the left decided to chime in as well. “Yeah Eyeball, try not to scare this one off, she is the only human we’ve ever met that can talk to us, and the food we get now is much better than before she was hired.”
The older tiger seemed to grow grumpy and turned around. “Fine I’ll go lay over there, relay my meal order when she snaps out of it okay.” With that, he walked off, and plopped his body on the ground. The younger tiger walked up to JV and started to rub up against her. “Don’t mind her JV, he’s always grumpy, but he does like you, he’ll just need some time.” “Chips right, he’s been like that since I brought her as a cub.”
“Now, if it’s not too much trouble, could we get the old guy some food? He wants his usual, a mountain of prime cow meat, I’ll take anything you have made of big, and the little one wants some of those chicken birds.” JV started doing as they asked and wrote the order down on the paper. “Yeah chicken!” Chip yelled while running off. “He’s a fun one. You got all that JV, great, we’ll see you when you come back.”
WIth that the adult tiger walks off, and JV leaves the enclosure to go and find where they keep the food. She eventually finds a storage shed with a walk-in refrigerator inside. She pulls out one of the carts and lods it with enough food to fill three tigers. As she walked outside she caught a glimpse of herself in the reflection of the window to the storage shed. Her body was completely different, it seems the genie changed who she was entirely.
Now the old tigers toots comment made sense, she was a very attractive and filled out woman, and she looked damn good in her uniform. She shrugged it off, she had tigers waiting on her, and she couldn't wait to talk to them more.
