Hello. It's nice to meet all of you. I am the one they call Alibaba. Or I would be if I wasn't dragged from home to a place where I have no reputation.

I'll make this simple. I'm looking to make a deal--information is what I need. Specifically, I want to know more about this porting process.

I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me how it works, but anything you might know would be...helpful. I would be especially interested in speaking with anyone that was able to go home before being brought back.

You can answer freely or we can see if we can reach a deal that works for both of us. I'll be waiting.

Wishes? You have something like that here?

Audio on hers

Yup! There's a smart, beautiful half-genie with a wish shop in Nonah! Your wildest dreams can come true!

[Beat.] At least some of your wildest dreams can come true!

[codeoracle]

Wait! There's not just the ability to make wishes...but there's also a genie?!

[ret2go]

Mm-hmm! And from what I hear, she's as beautiful and wise as she is talented with magic.

[codeoracle]

A shop worth visiting. I mean, if wishes really can be granted like that...

[She has so many things she could ask for.]

[ret2go]

Trust me, they definitely can! You should totally go buy some wishes. And bring the shopkeep some snacks. She always appreciates snacks. [Best plan ever.]

[codeoracle]

Would bringing snacks guarantee better wishes? Seriously there has to be a trade-off if I'm sacrificing food.

[ret2go]

Uh, I think the wishes are going to be the same either way? She's not like one of those jerk genies who messes up your wish on purpose.

...but she could be!

[codeoracle]

Guess I'll just have to see for myself.

Does she have a favorite snack? I mean if I'm planning on bringing her anything...

[ret2go]

Ice cream sandwiches. I mean, I hear that it's supposedly ice cream sandwiches.

[codeoracle]

Got it.

If I decide to visit I'll have to make sure to have some of those on hand.

[ret2go]

Then you're already setting yourself up for success!
