Ship in a Bottle (MxF)

Now that is a very good question. Why not ask the genie?

Ship in a Bottle (MxF)

You were just walking along the beach when you came across a large bottle washed up on shore. It was shaped like one of those fancier liquor bottles. You nearly walked right past it. But it was odd enough that it caught your eye. It was over a foot long and shaped a little like a cask. The glass was dark and gloomy, resembling a storm on the seas. The fog of the clouds seemed to swirl and change as you moved about it. You had to clean it off a little to see inside better, to tell if the contents were liquor or just muddy water. As you peered in you saw it - a sleek sailing yacht. It bore the flag of a pirate ship and was black. You still couldn’t tell about the liquid as the glass was too dark. But it did have the viscosity of liquor with no signs of dirt. Then you set it back down and tried the spigot…

...And awoke in a fancy bed aboard the ship. Even as you awoke there was a knock at the cabin door. A voice called out from the other side.

"Greetings Captain. You have released me from the bottle in which I was imprisoned. I am compelled to grant you three wishes as a show of gratitude for my liberation. Once completed, my debt will be paid and I shall be free."

What? Was the person on the other side of the door some sort of genie? Was the bottle, in fact, just a variation on the old genie lamp idea?

Plot
Well this is kind of obvious. This IS an MxF. So romance is very possible. The genie wants to be free, of course.

Your Character
I am looking for a character who is at least an adult, but let’s say not over 30. Call it 18-25. And straight please. No criminal types, psychos, etc. Just not interested in that sort of character. Diamonds in the rough work better. Just ask Disney. I considered making you shipwrecked on some tropical island. Still an option. Heck you could go the I Dream of Jeannie and be an astronaut, or maybe a Navy Seal who got stranded, or dropped off on a marine survival course.

My Character
I get to play the genie. I will be of the opposite sex and temptingly attractive. I will appear to be of similar age, but let’s face it. I am immortal and probably thousand times your age. You opened the bottle. Good luck getting me back in. I have one goal - freedom. You could always WISH me free … hint, hint, hint.

You cannot receive more wishes than you were originally allotted.
Some genies, or leprechauns or magic spirits give one wish, or two, even if the standard is three. Receiving more wishes is not allowed.

All wishes are final!
No using a wish to undo a previous wish.

No creating or ending life.
Typically, the wish granting being will not be able to create or end life. They might give you the means to do it yourself, but the wish itself cannot be for someone to die or for life to be created/recreated (raising the dead).

You cannot affect free will.
The Aladdin reference is you can’t make someone fall in love with you. But I think this would be expanded to you can’t make a person feel a certain way with a wish. However, just like the previous rule, you can be given the means to do affect someone’s free will in a way you can predict.

The future is not yet written. The past already is.
No using a wish to look into the future, for to do so is to write it in stone. No altering the past. That which has been written in stone is final. You may look back upon the past and learn.

A Djinn, jinn or genie are merely what they are.
A wish cannot make one anything greater than the granter of the wish. Neither can they reveal the source of such power. Only God is omnipotent and omniscient.

James Darwin and the Professor (M x F)

An archaeological grad student and his dig professor. His professor is young for a senior archaeologist, married to her work. The sciences of history and archaeology are in her blood. Her parents were archaeologists, as were her grandparents. She specializes in Homo Sapiens, not merely the neolithic era. She may go back as far as Homo Antecessor (ca 800-1200ka).

Transitional dig sites are her specialty. Transitional digs are ones where there were elements of two different species of Homo sapiens. This is what she does her PhD level work on. This is what she hopes to get a Nobel Prize in someday.

James Darwin
Her new grad student, James Darwin, is supposed to be very bright. She hired him partly for the fact that he was both knowledgeable and healthy. Currently she has been working some very rugged environments and she doesn’t need anyone to babysit. He was also fluent in several of the languages of the region her latest digs were in. He has also been to a few possible transitional digs where there were elements of two different species of Homo sapiens.

Now our grad student harbors a secret. He has been around since long before recorded history. He has no idea how long. For him those days are remembered much as a normal human remembers their early childhood. He didn’t make it a point to go around witnessing the great events of history. But he has seen a few. Predictably most are of the sort that were announced well in advance - such as the placing of the Gold Spike that connected the east and west parts of North America by rail. He saw Jesse Owens take the gold at the Olympics but only by luck.

The truth is that James is researching his own past, trying to trace his own origins. He is also not quite human.

Current Dig
The current dig is tracing the migration of Homo Erectus into Europe. James Darwin suspects he was a part of this migration out of Africa, or perhaps led it by thousands of years.

Jan 17, 2025
The newly elected president was sworn into office. As with all presidents he went through the usual early term education. He set about the task of appointing his Cabinet and having them confirmed. The man he appointed as Secretary of Homeland Security seemed like an unlikely candidate. However, he was confirmed faster than most.

Apr 7, 2025.
Jonathan Miller confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security by the Senate. As it would so happen he was an engineer and very high security clearances. The one thing he was not, was a politician.

May 13, 2025
A bomb is detonated in the US Capitol Building killing the President and most of the line of succession. The Secretary of Homeland Security is 18th in line. Jonathan Miller has had just over a month on the job, a month in politics. But he is now the President of the USA. Duncan is an Emancipated teen in both high school and college, but due to the nature of his father’s sudden rise to the presidency he is picked up by Secret Service and whisked away for safety.

June 1, 2025
RP Start. Location, Washington DC.

The RP will be a two fold venture that follows similar issues to those seen in the TV series. President Miller will be viewed by the public with great skepticism. He wasn’t elected, but appointed. He is extremely new on the job. He knows little about politics. Basically he is just a good, decent man who is probably too honest for the job.

Part of the RP will focus in on the Press. The Press will soon attack his credentials and begin digging up every piece of dirt they can on him, the First Lady … and finally their adopted son. For the past two administrations the First Family has been degraded as an institution. Once upon a time the people of the USA looked to the First Family as a shining example of what it meant to be a family. Not so for the past 8 years. Now the world looks once more to see what sort of mess this First Family will be.

Part of the RP will focus on the intrigue. Who bombed the White House? How will the US respond? Is America safe? Will there be more attacks?

Part of the RP will focus on Duncan as he deals with the lonely existence as the President’s son.

Your role will be many fold.
You will need to develop a few Press personnel with different agendas. They should be a little better than cardboard cutout characters. They should have a name, some network or publication they represent, and a backstory. The President’s son has been in the news more than his father in the space of one year, but he still has secrets.

You can develop some Secret Service agents, especially any assigned to Duncan. If Duncan elects to move (such as back to Albuquerque), you will have to do the same.

You might want to develop a romance interest. If you look at the map link for the White House, anything remotely worth visiting like a museum is at least a mile away. At a mile and a half is the Smithsonian. At 2 miles, is the Library of Congress. An utterly bored Duncan might head there. But you can probably forget shady dance clubs. He COULD move right back to Albuquerque. Regardless, he will be assigned Secret Service. He no longer has a truly private life.

Moving back home is not a bad idea. It allows him to lead a slightly more private life and do the things he loves. But he still has to watch what he says.

Transfer Student (MxF need F)

This is a twist on another RP I do a lot called New Kid, which is about a teenager who is new to a private school having transferred from the public school system or another state. In this RP the GIRL will be new to the school. Girl meets boy and a romance begins.

The GIRL can come from quite a few walks of life. Rich family. Military brat. Up to you. However, the boy in question tends to avoid blondes, and won’t even speak to one that is hispanic unless given no choice. He has run afoul of a hispanic gang at his last school. It was bad.

The BOY can be one of two versions. Just let me know which one you prefer I use. One has him as a transfer student as well, also new to the school. He would be starting as a junior. The second version is a year later after he has made friends and grown in popularity and is starting as a senior.

The School. Again two options.* (I like to choose real locations.)
Albuquerque Academy.
It does cost about $24k per student per year to enroll. It actually has three schools on its campus starting at 6th grade. So the family can’t be too awful poor unless they qualify for financial aid. A military family would probably work so long as the military parent is of sufficient rank and the family not large. My character will have been living in this area for about 5 years.

Polytechnic HS (Long Beach, CA).
The default for this school is a public school with strict enrollment policies. But it is one of the biggest and best high schools in the USA. It is also the location where many movies and TV shows have been filmed. It has had a great many alumni that are famous - NFL stars, singers like Snoop Dogg, and a national security advisor. This school works best if my character is the first version - also new to the school and a junior.

*I do have a third school, but it is a near future sci fi option and a boarding school on a privately owned tropical island for kids from very, VERY rich or influential families.
