Society Members' Questions

"Sit down," Neil said sternly. The 4 of them sat down on one of the sofas, without a word. "What are you?"

"What on Earth are you talking about?" Sophie asked, clearly not wanting to give answers.

"Ophelia, play the footage," Neil ordered.

"Yes Master."

Ophelia bowed her head, and snapped her fingers. Sophie's TV turned on magically, to a news story.

"A man was arrested today in the home of billionaire businessman Alex Brookman," said the news reader. "The elderly man has not been identified, but we are hearing reports that he is claiming to be Alex Brookman himself, despite Mr Brookman being known as appearing much more youthful than this man. Whoever this man is, the police have charged him with several hundred counts of murder and rape, after the bodies of several hundred nude girls were found in the house with him."

"Care to explain?" Brian said.

"Not really," Matt replied.

"When we saw this, we went to visit Alex in prison," Sarah said. "He told us about how you two turned up, undid his wishes, and took his genie away from him. Which is of course, impossible."

"And your point is?" Sophie asked.

"Tell us how you did it!" Neil shouted. "If you two can break the rules, then tell us how you do it!"

"And why should we?" Sophie asked. "What could you possibly do to us if we refuse?"

The group stayed silent.

"Fine then," Neil said. "We'll ask you nicely. Please tell us how you can do it."

"If you two can indeed break the rules, then we can fulfil our goal!" Jürgen said. "We can do what we have always sought to do; rule this world! Control it for the betterment of all humankind!"

"And for yourselves," Alexis said. "Actually, mostly for yourselves."

"No one asked for your opinions, genie," Sarah said to her.

"Actually, if you want us to stay friendly towards you, assuming we even are at the moment, it'd be wise for you to be nice to our genies," Sophie said threateningly. "They're our friends."

"Genies are tools for our pleasure, nothing more," Brian said. "Observe. Lexia, I wish for an amazing blowjob."

"Your wish is my command, Master," Lexia obeyed. She bowed her head, and then pulled Brian's trousers down, before taking his cock in her mouth.

"We genies have feelings too, you know," Alexis said.

"Not that they matter," Sarah said. "This world has a pecking order. At the top are us Masters. Next come normal humans. And finally, there's the genies. You exist only to grant our wishes."

"That is not true!" Lumiosa shouted. "I'm sorry, Miss Sarah, but...I used to agree with you. I really did. But Master Matt has been so kind to me. He treats me like an equal. He wants me to be more than just a servant."

"Then he is foolish," Jürgen said.

"And yet you're the ones talking down to the ones who have the power to cause you unspeakable horrors," Sophie said.

"Sophie dear, you are both far too kind-hearted for that," Sarah laughed.

"Perhaps we are. But we're not too kind-hearted to punish you like we punished Alex," Matt said.

"The two of you dislike how we consider ourselves higher than other humans, and yet you seek to judge us?" Neil said. "We may seek Godhood, but at least we have the courage to admit it."

"We don't want Godhood," Sophie said. "We just want to allow people to live in peace. We use Alexis and Lumiosa's magic for fun, but no-one gets hurt. Everyone we use our magic on enjoys it. Whereas you lot enslave people and keep them serving you for decades. We give pleasure to our friends. Your only friends are each-other, probably because they're the only people you can't enslave."

"Kraft macht Spaß," Jürgen said. "Power is fun. You know what else is fun? Dominating other people. Ruling over them. It's why we want to control the world. To control the universe. We want everyone to do as we command."

"And you believe that this so-called "maker" would allow that?"

"He's allowed you two more power, clearly," Neil said. "Surely giving us the same power would be better? 6 heads are better than 2."

"You 4 could never work together," Matt said to them. "You'd all be fighting over power. Sophie and I are in love. We'd work together to rule the world at least."

"Matt, it's clear we're not getting through to these people," Sophie said. "I think we need to do something about them."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I was thinking we could..."
