A new casino...again... This time it was based on Ancient Greece. Rome liked Ancient Greece and with the loss of Thanos, he was bored. As a matter of fact, he was so bored, he felt bothered and out of sorts. He was ready for some fun and what better place to have it than at the new casino. At least in the casinos there were enough people to make wishes to keep him satisfied. With him leaving the child with the wish he had saved for Thanos, he had fulfilled his contract and was now a free Djinn.
Being free to do what he would, Rome was careful to pace himself, granting only minor wishes, mostly to childless couples and the extremely poor who made modest wishes. When he wanted to have fun, however, he visited the higher society areas. Just the day before a woman wished to have sex with a man like him. It didn't take any actual wish granting for him to fulfill but it did give him a taste for more carnal pleasures. The Ares is where he planned to find them so he decided to dress the part and pay the place a visit.
He was dressed in a white chiton tunic that extended down to his upper thighs, showing off the well defined musculature of his legs. Over the tunic he wore a solid gold chest plate that was identical to the musculature he boasted underneath with a gold studded Pteryges and nothing underneath. On his feet sandals with spun gold straps extending up his calves. On his head was a crown of solid gold laurel leaves.
He walked with confidence, resembling a Caesar during the age of the Roman empire. one corner of his mouth turned up slightly, promising mischief at a moments notice. His ears pricked up at the first mention of a wish. "Wow! I wish I had a breastplate just like that!" he heard and his grin broadened and showed off his perfect white teeth. His eyes twinkled with delight as he made eye contact with the wisher. He was a small, slight man with glasses and thinning hair. Rome tilted his head to the side just a bit. Why would he want it? Power? Money? To get women? "Done." Rome said and continued on without even looking. There was a cry of pain and a crashing sound as a solid gold breastplate appeared on the man who was much to weak to support and he crashed to the ground, breaking several bones.
Rome chuckled slightly as he heard a woman shriek, "Norman!" Why didn't it surprise him that the man had a name like that. He walked past a fat boy, rubbing his stomach, "Man I wish I could throw up, just so I could eat that meal again." Now Rome, being a free Djinn could have had a lot of fun with that but this night he was not in the mood for grossness of that proportion. He made a face and shook his head. "Denied." he said with pride in his power to deny a wish, as he was free.
He strolled over to the bar, intending to have a drink while he listened to the drunken prattling of two men who were discussing life and love. "I'll have a glass of your finest champagne." he ordered and threw a handful of scripts on the bar that would probably pay for their entire supply of champagne, "Keep the change." he muttered in a bored tone. His ears pricked up at the subject of wishes.
"I would wish for love." one man said vehemently.
"No, I wouldn't just wish for love, I would wish for loyalty and companionship." The other man threw in.
Rome took his champagne and sat back, facing the man. He took a long drink and ordered another with a silent wave then set this drink on the bar. "Do you wish for that?" he prodded the man. Each time he granted a wish, he felt a surge of energy through his whole body, it was invigorating and addictive.
"What?" the man turned and looked at him blankly then caught on to what he was asking. "Well, sure, I guess I do, I wish I had unconditional love, loyalty and companionship." the man answered.
Rome felt he had to take mercy on this man. He could not just twist it and make a soul who was so lonely even more miserable. He liked to play games but the heart was a lonely hunter. But he would not inflict any sort of person on him whose affections might wear on him after awhile. No, this would be a special wish grant that would most certainly fulfill the man's needs. "Done." he said happily. A black and white spotted puppy with snake scales down its back appeared on the bar and began wagging its tail and licking the man wildly. "Awww, hey there little guy." the man was thrilled with it. "It's not exactly what I wished for but...he's a cute little thing."
Rome sighed that the man did not understand the gift, so he would explain it to him. "If you want loyalty, unconditional love and companionship, a dog will fit your needs perfectly. If you need sex, buy a whore." he picked up his champagne and turned to leave only to find himself staring into beautiful intense blue eyes that were not very well pleased but still managed to hang onto some level of amusement. "Are you annoyed my Lady, or are you enjoying my mischief and just want your patrons to think you are annoyed?"
